Queensland RSPCA shelters are bursting at the seams – including Kingaroy – and cannot accept any more animals to rehouse until May.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy acting shelter manager Bonny Heit said on Tuesday that Kingaroy was in the same position as shelters across the State.<\/p>\n

“Usually if we have too many animals we can transfer some to another shelter but we have a situation at the moment where everything is full,” she said.<\/p>\n

“We can’t transfer any animals anywhere.”<\/p>\n

Ms Heit said Kingaroy had a lot of cats, but there were also a dogs and even a few roosters.<\/p>\n

RSPCA spokesman Michael Beatty said all shelters across Queensland will have a special sale this weekend in a bid to reduce numbers.<\/p>\n

“For one weekend only, you can adopt an adult dog or cat from RSPCA Queensland Adoption Centres for just $50,” Mr Beatty said.<\/p>\n

“Visit your local RSPCA this weekend – Saturday and Sunday April 8-9 – \u00a0to find your furever friend.<\/p>\n

“We are currently caring for over 2300 pets across the State and would love to find these precious pets their furever homes in time for the holidays.<\/p>\n

“We have dogs and cats of all ages, shapes and sizes just patiently waiting.”<\/p>\n
