In regard to this subject there has just been a very interesting situation at the Victoria SPCA. I was contacted by Carol Sonex of
Greater Victoria Animal Crusaders. She had just dealt with a situation whereby a woman going into a shelter for abused women needed immediate placement for her 2 cats. She contacted the Victoria SPCA and was told that they were full, could not take the cats, and the only assistence they could offer would be to put the cats to sleep. She managed to get in touch with GVAC and they made arrangements to pay for the vaccine upgrades and the cats are being boarded at the Central Victoria Veterinary Hospital at no charge. So much for all of the brochures and hoopla re caring for animals in potentially abusive situations. I forwarded the information from Carol to Craig Daniell over a week ago and have had no reply. I told him that this was one of the final straws and that I will be resigning from the CAC of the Victoria SPCA.
