The RSPCA ACT will slash its pet adoption prices this weekend to get its animals into loving new homes, as its shelter is continuing to face a difficult year.

The shelter has been over capacity for the past year and a successful adoption push will free up space and resources to allow staff and volunteers to help more animals in need in the community.

The adoption drive will be held this Friday and Saturday (25-26 October), during which adoption fees will be $50 for adult dogs and cats while rabbits will be $20.

My main point was that Victoria seems to have cats, specifically, for cheaper adoption than the ACT. That’s all.

Yeah sorry, went off a bit didn't I. Bit of a gripe for me, clearly.

Nah man I totally get where you’re coming from. Animals aren’t and shouldn’t be some cheap commodity that anyone can get into. They’re living beings that require a high level of wellbeing and if they’re cheap any Tom, dick and Harry can get one and treat it like dirt

Yeah we're on the same page. Sorry for the verbal vomit.
