After careful consideration and research to determine the safest way to resume adoptions during COVID-19, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is introducing LIMITED CONTACT ADOPTIONS at its animal centres across the province. (The Markham location is exempt from this list). The health and safety of our team members, communities and animals is our top priority. The Markham Cat Adoption & Education Centre still remains completely closed to the public and is currently inactive. We are not processing adoptions of any kind and our staff is working out of the Provincial Education and Animal Centre in Stouffville.
