Help Twix on his road to recovery at the Ontario SPCA’s Cupcake Day Meet & Treat event
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cornwall, ON – (Feb. 18, 2025) – The Ontario SPCA Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Animal Centre is inviting the community to enjoy a sweet treat at their Cupcake Day Meet & Treat open house on Feb. 23 in support of animals like Twix.
Severely emaciated and suffering from wounds on his legs and ears, Twix arrived at the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Animal Centre in desperate need of medical care, proper nutrition, and emotional rehabilitation. Weighing just 15 kg, significantly under the estimated healthy weight of 25kg for his size, Twix’s body condition score was a critical 1 out of 5 – quite literally skin and bones – when he arrived at the animal centre. Under careful supervision, Twix has been following a strict refeeding protocol to prevent refeeding syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Thanks to the dedication of his caregivers, he is making steady progress and slowly gaining weight.
“Despite his challenging past, Twix is embracing his second chance at life,” reports Candice Gordon, Manager of the Ontario SPCA Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Animal Centre. “With each passing day, Twix grows stronger, both physically and emotionally. We’re hopeful he will be ready to find a loving home by the end of the month.”
You can be part of Twix’s recovery by attending the Cupcake Day Meet & Treat on Feb. 23 from 12 noon to 3 p.m. at the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Animal Centre. Enjoy a delicious cupcake, meet adoptable animals, and make a donation to help provide shelter and care to animals like Twix. There will also be fun activities for the kids.
