PFA was quite dismayed this week to hear from former foster home and volunteer Shelly that her family, including 4 cats, along with her entire apartment complex, are being evicted on November 1 when a new owner takes over the building. This means that many families have to quickly find new rental housing in a city with a vacancy rate of less than 1%! Sadly, this means that many pets will no doubt have to be given away or surrendered to the Regina Humane Society.
Shelly and her family were able to find a new home, but not one that accepts pets. Luckily for Shelly's cats, PFA will once again take them into foster care and hopefully will find new homes again soon.
Take a look at this sweet bunch of kitties (descriptions below) and consider fostering or adopting one. They need new places to go by October 30th. It isn't their fault that our city is tough on renters and on pets! Regina definitely needs more pet-friendly rental housing. Far too many animals have to be surrendered and needlessly euthanized, and far too many families have to say good-bye to cherished pets due to lack of pet-friendly rental accommodation.

Misty - black 1 year old female, spayed and fully vaccinated. She is very loving and enjoys snuggling.
Garfield - orange male tabby, 18 months old, neutered and fully vaccinated. He's a real character that loves to lounge around, and gives headbutts when he wants attention. Garfield is talkative and meets you at the door as soon as you walk in!
Princess is a spayed and de-clawed female, grey and white, who has all her shots. She is a bit shy after being rescued as a stray a few weeks ago (her former owners would not take her back), but is starting to relax and seek attention. She would do best in a home with only one (or no) other cats.
