Families looking to adopt a cat can get a break until the end of this month.
Adult cats are available from SPCAs across the province, including Prince George, for 50 per cent off the usual adoption fee that's charged in a campaign that started Friday and continues to Nov. 30.
The idea is to find homes for cats currently in shelters to make room for more strays as the colder winter months come along.
The fee covers the cost of vaccinations, spaying or neutering, permanent ID, any necessary medical care, and internal and external parasite treatment.
Each cat also comes with six weeks of free pet insurance.
All the cats are microchipped, and for $12 annually or a $45 lifetime fee, the animal will be registered in the province-wide B.C. pet registry, bcpetregistry.ca, to help ensure if a pet is lost, it can be found and reunited with his family.
Province-wide, there are currently more than 1,400 cats living in SPCA shelters, the organization reports.
