This money will be placed in the Cheer Fund, which will be used to build a veterinary clinic on the premises.
The tour will be held every second Friday, from 2.30pm to 3.30pm, until January 20.
Tour dates are: November 25, December 9 and 23, and January 6 and 20.
According to SPCA manager Vicky Finnemore, each person will receive a goodie-bag and an educational tour of the premises, at 3 Klein Street, Lakefield.
All the participants will be photographed during each tour and published in the City Times.
Entry fees are payable to the SPCA, with the child’s name and surname, by the Wednesday prior to the Friday of the tour date.
