We were adopted too!

Wouldn't it be better to let the spca try to rehome them? They still have half their lives left.

The SPCA will give them 5-15 days or so depending on the location. If not adopted, they get put down. The places with the no-kill policy are coming back with 'sorry, we're full' or 'we're out of money right now but...'

Hell, I just got a warning email from one of them.

Seriously, about weirdos... there's actually all kinds of people
around. We regularly receive messages from people whose neighbours
mistreat cats or catch them to do who knows what... Recently the
Gazette and Journal de Montreal published articles about an individual
(very amicable in appearance) adopting cats for pure sadistic
pleasure. We received the same warning couple of months ago from other
animal rescue orgs, that testified that this was not a joke. If you
encounter the individual described above, we encourage you to contact
us or the SPCA.

In any case, without turning paranoid, using caution doesn't hurt, and
here are some tips:
- verify the person's id
- bring the cat yourself rather than letting the person come and get
the cat (and then disappear into the void),
- have the person sign an adoption "contract" (for instance our own
adoption contract requires people not to declaw the cat and to advise
us if they wish to get rid of the cat afterwards...)
- follow up after the adoption...

Beware of this man, « Scott Wood » who seeks to adopt/foster cats, which he then tortures and kills.
Scott Wood is white, early to mid twenties, tall, muscular, fair complexion, clean cut, blond crew cut when last seen.
Scott Wood is anglophone with a deep voice and pleasant manner.
Scott Wood may go by other names.

• If this man contacts you to get a cat,
• If you already placed a cat with him,
• Please report it to the SPCA, the police or any animal rescue group and do your best to get cats away from him.
