Plan Your Visit

We Love Visitors!

Whether you're hoping to meet your future furry family member or just curious about what we do, we’re always happy to welcome guests to the Bow Valley SPCA. Our no-kill, no-cage Centre is a bright and inviting space to connect with our furry residents.

To make the most of your visit, it’s a great idea to plan ahead, especially if you're hoping to meet a specific animal or learn more about our adoption process.

Cat Cuddler Guidelines

The greeter will exchange one of our keys, to get you into the rooms, for your car key or something else you won't forget to grab on your way out!

Please sanitize hands upon entry and between each room.

Children under 12 years old must have an adult (18+) in the room with them at all times.

Children between 12 - 14 years old are permitted to visit with an adult (18+) on the property, but do not need to be in the room with them at all times.

Children of 15 years or older may visit without a parent or guardian.
