L4H - I know right now the OSPCA in Newmarket hold Animal Control contracts with 3 surrounding towns Markham, Aurora and Richmond Hill and it depends on the requirement of the town e.g. Aurora requested that all strays coming from there are held for 10 days, Markham 7 days, Richmond Hill
....Our Animal Control holds for 5 business days.
The animal control that your co-worker took the kittie to, sound like a real nasty outfit
