There was a point earlier this year when the SPCA Animal Rescue League put up it’s hands and announced to Saint John it’s funds were so low they were facing closure.
They’ve weathered that storm, and their President Melody McElman tells CHSJ they still struggle but are now more healthy financially.
She says they need a business plan adding they cannot depend on donations and fundraise themselves 365 days a year and find something that will bring in continuous revenue.
In 2013 McElman says they plan on starting a cat program with seniors, hope to have a future partnership with UPEI’s vet school for neutering, and hope to sell their Taylor avenue property.
