Another jammed week in animal rescue...with some serous set backs, and serious successes... read on...

Be a Cat Angel... 

Help us save and ultimately re-home the many homeless cats in our small cottage country community.  Funds are desperately needed to vaccinate, neuter and provide care for these abandoned kitties.  Even a small donation of $5 or $10 can add up quickly and make a huge difference to a cat in need.  Please visit our fundraising site at ...

Cat Angels   ...be an angel to a cat in need.  

Charlie, a lovely senior boy needs your help (he's with Ladybird Animal Sanctuary) click here to read his story: 

Gentleman Charlie

 

Moonbear is a pure white cat with green eyes, 2yo, neutered male, in good health. He was removed from living on the street two months ago, but he has not yet found a home. He is friendly and playful, would do well in a quiet home where he can be the only cat. Inquiries:  [email protected], 289-257-0502  

Patches is a tortishell, 3yo, spayed female, in good health. She has been living as an abandoned stray in an industrial lot for the past two years. She has given birth to several litters of whom only one kitten, Trish, survives. Patches is gentle and friendly. She likes to snuggle and purr with her caregiver. Clearly she was owned prior to abandonment. Would do well in a quiet home with no dogs. Inquiries:  [email protected], 289-0502  

Trish is a calico, 1yo, spayed female, in good health. She has been living as a feral-born cat in an industrial lot where her mother, Patches, gave birth to her. Initially shy, Trish has come along way with intensive one-on-one socialization. She enjoys sitting in her caregivers lap. She is curious and friendly, but still is nervous and needs more confidence building. We are loath to return her to the lot where we found her as she would be alone with no companions. Trish would do well in a quiet home with no dogs. Inquiries:  [email protected], 289-257-0502  

Please help Smarty by giving her a loving home! Smarty is approx. 8-9 years old lab mix and was found as a stray. She had a mast cell tumour which was removed with wide margins. Smarty is a great dog, no handling, guarding or stranger issues. Housetrained and not destructive when left alone. She has been fully vetted, spayed, vaccinated, and as noted the tumour has been removed. Her caveats are no cats, and no small dogs; and at this point we are saying no dogs at all just to make things less complicated (she is fine with most all large dogs but there have been a few she ends up getting in vocal spats with); she is not a dog park dog. She adores people, that is where her heart is. She has good energy, is a gem in the car; knows sit, down, paw, stay and speak. Please share Smarty so we can get her a foster or even better, a forever home! contact: [email protected] 

BC Wolves really need our help:

Alberta Wildies: the "capture" is over for the year ... all were saved through last minute intervention at auction thankfully, but no small feat! ...Taken from their natural habitat and their families...here they are in a pen at auction, comforting each other.
