CCSPCA On Temporary Quarantine

The Charlotte County SPCA is on a temporary quarantine.


The shelter is currently suspending all adoptions and intake of cats due to a Panleukopenia virus. The virus is a common cat virus, but can be very dangerous to young, unvaccinated kittens.

Evie Gange from the CCSPCA tells Tide News they are doing everything they can to resolve the matter and they appologize for the inconvenience to the community.

Gagne says to keep this problem from happening again, the CCSPCA is looking to increase their list of kitten foster homes, which are temporary safe havens for the animals to stay until they can be vaccinated.

If you would like to be a kitten foster home for a few weeks a year, please call the Charlotte County SPCA at 465-7657, or email at ccspca@nb.aibn.com .
