Dear Animal Lovers, Advocates, Rescuers & Activists:

It's been a harsh week, full of animal losses in our community: Jericho, Periwinkle, Noah & Sheeba. I want to remind everyone about www.letterstopushkin.com - it's a wonderful way to memorialize your pet, and keep their story alive.  It's a truly helpful "mechanism" to help you deal with grief.  Check it out, it will help.

ANIMALS & RESCUERS IN NEED

URGENT  - MOTHER CAT & KITTENS  For a number of years, I have been leaving food for a cat that I rarely see. She is located at the corner of Brimley Road & 14
th  Ave., which is about 2 minutes from  407 and Kennedy.  I have only ever been able to go 2-3 times a week and aside from tracks in the snow,  I wasn't even sure that there were still cats there. However, a few weeks ago I spotted  a couple of kittens (approx. 3 months old) and a pregnant female.  I am no longer able to feed at this location and these cats not only need a feeder but they  need to be TNR'd  and in the case of the kittens, rescued.  If you can help with this, please call me ASAP at 416-910-3506.  Thank you. Carol Brohm (Ed note: Carol, thank you for championing this little family - any cat people out there who can help?)

Hello my name is  "Queeny",  I am 4 years old.  I was brought to the shelter June 9 , and I'm still waiting for someone to rescue me. I was originally signed over for bitingly previous owners who had me less than a year. I was bought off Kijiji and put into a house where English was not the first language and I don't know what they expected from me. they did tell shelter staff that thunderstorms scare me and instead of helping me through this, they would just put me in the garage.  I am told by the shelter staff that I am a great little girl who has come a long way  and has shown no aggressive behaviour since being here.  I have lost my trust in men and can show fearful behaviour (retreating) and very nervous to approach them. I will require someone with a gentle hand and lots of patience to help me through these hurdles.   Can you help me ???? Contact:  City of Hamilton, Animal Services  905-546-2424

RESCUE UPDATES

 

RIP Little Jericho. We will all miss you, but especially your mom.  Stay close to her and keep doing all your funny smiley tricks in her mind so that she remembers you with joy, and it helps lessen her pain. Good dog!

 

RIP Periwinkle:  Frog Hollow Farm Sanctuary lost their beautiful rabbit Periwinkle this week. So sad. Wish I'd had a chance to meet you little one. Go play on the bridge with your friend Noah. He'll watch out for you. 

  

RIP Noah. So glad we had a chance to get to know you, Noah. And so happy you spent your last days in the earthly paradise that is Ralphy's Retreat. We'll go and save more in your name boy.

 

And finally, our advocacy friend Monique Landry lost her beautiful little one, Sheeba yesterday.  RIP darling little girl. Merci, Monique, for your very solid work.

 

 
"Results from a survey of Canadian food consumption for 2013 reflect a nearly 10 percent drop in meat consumption since 2001. While a general decrease was noted across the meat categories, the greatest decline was seen in pork consumption, with a decrease of 4.5 percent."
