Open adoption day at SPCA
The SPCA holds an open adoption day Monday, standard fees not being charged. Unusually, the item says they’re not overwhelmed with cats, but they have a lot of smaller pets to adopt out.
On the animal theme, Global looks at the Ecomuseum Zoo and its recovery after the ice storm. I’ve never been out there, any opinions? I find it odd we have a privately owned zoo here.

The Ecomuseum is a great place. It’s a nonprofit, they have excellent educational programming and all the animals are native to Quebec and afaik orphaned or rehabilitated from injury etc (i.e. not viable to live in the wild).

That’s nice to know, dwgs. Thanks.

Give it until July 2 for the cats, sadly.

I’ve lived near the Ecomuseum for most of my life, and have been going there for most of my life. It’s wonderful. I love it! It’s great seeing the animals, local Quebec animals that are so well cared for.
It’s always been a part of my life, and somewhere I’ve enjoyed going to.

jeather, I’m afraid you may be right on that.
My cat told me to go over and adopt a few mice for her, but I said no.

Ecomuseum is great. I really enjoy visiting it.
I especially appreciate that they only have species that are native to Quebec. They have lynxes!
Additionally, the Morgan Arboretum is nearby.

I used to take my kids there and the true test is that I still like to go now that they have flown the coop. The staff are incredible and the habitats for the animals so well considered.
