Help us adopt out all our adults and free some space for the numerous cats that will be coming in.
Advantages of going for an adult: the temperament is already established and you can choose one that suits you: calm or adventurous, affectionate or shy, independent or cuddly !
Our cats are sterilized, microchipped, vaccinated and dewormed. Come see them and let yourself be charmed by an animal waiting for a loving home!
Last week, the Outaouais SPCA has received hundreds of messages from citizens concerned by the terrible fire that occurred on the night of Monday, July 2, at the building housing the activities of the Western Quebec SPCA.
Just like you, we are extremely shaken by this incident and the loss of so many animals. This horrible tragedy has obviously raised a lot of emotions among the population and we want to clarify some information.
Extremly sad and shaken by the incident and loss of so many animals.
All our thoughts are directed to those who are affected by this tragic fire last night at the Western Quebec SPCA.
Some dogs have been saved and are currently taken care of at our shelter.
Please note that the Outaouais SPCA and the Western Quebec SPCA are not associated and are 2 different organizations with different personnel, different missions, different protocols and way of functionning.
Happy Canada Day !
Have a great St-Jean-Baptiste!
Benefits of adopting at the Outaouais SPCA and not on Facebook, Kijiji or other:
Come meet our cats of all ages, all colors and all kinds of personalities 😍 ♥ ️. Mandatory consultation before adoption!
Please note that for an indefinite period, any complaint of animal negligence or cruelty must be directed to the Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec (MAPAQ) at 1-844-animals.
Due to administrative delays on the part of MAPAQ, the inspection cards allowing SPCA inspectors in all the Province of Quebec to apply the provincial law have expired. We are waiting for the next renewal protocol. For the moment, it is impossible for us to intervene before the MAPAQ officially renews the contracts. It is their inspectors who have to take care of the complaints coming in.
However, the following municipalities have "animal control" type contracts with our organization and residents can call 819-205-2908 to report to us confidentially, cases of negligence or animal cruelty that will be dealt with under the provisions of their municipal by-law:
• All municipalities in the MRC des Collines except Notre-Dame de la Salette
• All municipalities in the Pontiac MRC
Because of the extreme weather, the shelter will be closed today.
We will be back to our regular opening hours tomorrow. The animal reception (door #3) opens at 9 am and the adoption (door #1) opens at 10 am.
Thank you for your understanding.
The Board of Directors of the Outaouais S.P.C.A. invites you to the 2018 Annual General Meeting
Dear member,
On Wednesday, May 2nd from 7pm to 9pm, in the basement of the Église de la Paroisse St-Alexandre located at 1, chemin des Érables in the Gatineau sector, the 2018 Annual General Meeting of the Outaouais S.P.C.A will be held: http://www.pagesjaunes.ca/bus/Quebec/Gatineau/Saint-Alexander-Paroisse/4218783.html ).
Our team works hard to save a greater number of animals every year and we are proud to have adopted out 300 more cats than the year before.
In average it's 8 animals per day, 58 animals every week and 252 every month for a whole year. All neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.
We would like to formaly apologize to local pet owners regarding the treatment of the 2018 municipal license purchases.
We have experienced difficulties with our telephone lines and have accumulated a lot of delay in processing and sending licenses. We are trying to catch up. We ask the population to remain patient, you will soon receive your license by mail for those who paid online or by check.
We had a lot of animals entering the shelter in the fall and early winter, whereas usually it is calmer. Our priority was directed towards them, which does not justify our failure to provide a suitable service.
Processing 40,000 licenses in a matter of weeks is a big challenge for any company or organization.
For next year, we will put in place the staff and structure to succeed. Know that respecting the municipal by-laws and purchasing your municipal licenses allow more than 7000 animals annually to be cared for with compassion and humanity by our fantastic health team.
The shelter will be closed to the general public on the 24-25-26 and 31st of December as well as the 1st and 2nd of January 2018.
Our team wishes you happy Holidays with your furry friends.
The work consists of making, from recycled fabrics, blankets for the cages of our cats.
We want to build a list of seamstresses for different times of the year. Example: holiday season, spring, summer, fall and the entire year.
It would be important to mention if you are a beginner, intermediate or sewing expert, as well as, if you have a sewing machine and a serger and a space to assemble everything.
The Outaouais SPCA invites you, your family and your 4 legged friends for a Christmas card themed photoshoot with Santa Claus.
The photo session will take place on the 11th and 12th of November between 10 am and 4 pm at the shelter: 132 rue de Varennes, no reservation needed.
You have a Halloween party Saturday night? You will surely stand out and help animals get specific health care. Kids and teenagers are more than welcome for simple or exhuberant make up. Obviously we will have some candy for participant.
Prices are going from 10$ for something basic to 30$ for a full face makeup.
All the profits will go towards the Outaouais SPCA, helping the 7000 animals coming in the shelter annually.
You want to see pictures of what the makeup artists can do? Go on our Facebook page and see for yourself. Simply amazing!
C’est la semaine nationale des techniciennes en santé animale et nous souhaitons souligner le travail indispensable que nos 10 « vet-tech » accomplissent à la SPCA de l’Outaouais. Ces dernières sont plus souvent qu’autrement dans l’ombre tout en sachant que leur travail est plus qu’essentiel au bon fonctionnement du refuge.
New logo, new website, new image!
The Outaouais SPCA is pleased to launch its new website. The website is accessible in a mobile version, presents our new logo and has several interesting features that will allow users to spend quality time on our website.

Le 9 septembre dernier, ce chiot d’environ 3 mois qui aurait été trouvé dans le secteur de Masson-Angers a fait son entrée au refuge. Le chiot était visiblement malade, l’homme a refusé de donner ses informations et a quitté le refuge rapidement.
