April's Metro Cat
Thanks to Metro Pet Market for Spaying It Forward! This month, Metro paid for Carmen's spay surgery as part of their on-going mission to foster responsible pet guardianship. Carmen is a cuddly and talkative cat who was found on Regina's streets and went unclaimed. Now she's spayed and ready for her forever home! View Carmen's adoption profile here and for more info about Metro Pet Market, visit metropetmarket.ca.

Meet Luna
This month’s feature cat is Luna! She's a friendly and affectionate girl who was rescued from the cold this winter. She'd be a great pet for a young family as she gets along well with the child in her foster home. Learn more about Luna! |
