Urgent Halloween Pet Safety Tips Released Amid Kitten Adoption Event

UPDATE: As Halloween approaches, urgent safety tips for pets have been released to protect our furry friends from holiday hazards. Tess van Straaten, host of Pet CHEK, emphasizes that this festive season poses significant dangers including fireworks, trick-or-treaters, and toxic treats.

During Halloween, pets are particularly vulnerable to stress and accidental escapes. Fireworks can spook them, while the influx of trick-or-treaters can lead to unexpected escapes when doors are opened frequently. Moreover, many common Halloween treats are harmful to pets, making vigilance crucial.

In a delightful twist, the Victoria Humane Society is showcasing the adorable Bird Litter Kittens, available for adoption at the Millstream PetSmart in Langford. This adoption event coincides with Halloween, providing a wonderful opportunity for potential pet owners to find a new furry friend. Interested adopters can call 250-391-9212 for more information and to fill out an adoption application on-site.

The Victoria Humane Society urges community members to consider making a donation to support their ongoing efforts to care for animals in need. For those wishing to contribute, a link for donations is available on their website.

As Halloween festivities ramp up, pet owners are encouraged to take these safety tips seriously. Taking precautions can ensure that pets enjoy Halloween as much as their owners do, without the associated risks.
