Frequently Asked Questions:

How will children be supervised?

A dedicated HBSPCA staff party host will be present for the duration of the party, ensuring the safety and enjoyment of all the party guests. One parent/guardian is also required to be present at the party at all times, and a maximum of four adults are allowed. Parents/guardians, and adult guests are expected to supervise their children as well as the other children in the group.

How many children can come to the party?

Both of our birthday party packages include up to 10 children (1 birthday child and 9 guests). For just $20 per child, you can add up to 5 additional children to your party.

What age are the parties appropriate for?

Parties are appropriate for children ages 6 years of age and older. We have different activities and experiences suitable for every age level in this range.

‍

Younger siblings of the birthday child are welcome to attend parties and are not considered part of the 9 party guests. Please note, a parent/guardian must remain onsite to provide dedicated supervision for any younger siblings attending the party.

What upgrades can we add to the party?

Our Meow-gical Birthday Party (Premium Party Package) includes a choice of one cheese or pepperoni pizza and one vanilla or chocolate cake, as well as soda or juice, plates, and cutlery for every child.

Will we get to meet an animal during the party?

We do our best to include animal interactions during each party, but animal interactions are not guaranteed. We aim to have at least one adoptable pet interact with the party guests, but this depends on the animals available at the shelter that day.

‍

Many of our animals are in foster care, so the type and number of interactions can vary. The Animal Care team will select the most suitable animals for group interactions, prioritizing the pets' and party guests' comfort, safety and well-being.

‍

Though you won't be able to choose which animals to meet, our team ensures a safe and positive experience for everyone involved.

My child wants to raise money to support the animals. What do you need?

That is amazing! Thank you!

By setting up a birthday fundraising page, they'll help us provide food, shelter, and care for animals in need while also spreading kindness and compassion for our furry friends.

What is in the loot bags?

Who doesn't love a loot bag? Each child's bag will contain 2-3 pieces of candy, an animal-themed item (pencil, pen, or eraser, etc.), 1-2 Stickers, 1 temporary tattoo, a treat or toy for their pet at home, and our Humane Education flyer. The loot bags are open at the top, so you can add anything you’d like!
