NEWS BULLETIN – 97 Cats Surrendered to the Guelph Humane Society

GUELPH, ON (January 24, 2020) – The Guelph Humane Society was notified of an owner surrendering 97 cats, all from one home this past week.

GHS stepped up and made the decision to help these cats by taking them into their care. GHS have assessed the cats’ basic medical needs. They have provided basic medical care of vaccines, microchipping and parasite control. They will have a better idea of the costs for additional and specialized care next week. Surprisingly, most of the cats appear to be in fair condition, considering the of number of cats that were living together. However, several cats have eye issues and others with additional medical conditions are being monitored closely by our team.

We are so excited to be partnering with the Guelph Humane Society(GHS) for this class and adoption event.

Yes – that means if you fall in love with a feline friend, you can take them home with you! We will be raising funds to go towards the care of the animals at GHS, so we ask all participants to bring a minimum $5 donation to class, which Loyobo will happily match. The class will be open to all fitness levels and no previous yoga experience is required.

This class is part of our Friday Happy Hour series, which features a different class every week! Classes are included for members or you can drop-in for just $20+tax.
