🐾 Todd update! 🐾

Our cute, gentle tripawd is officially fully vaccinated and all healed up! ❤️ He’ll soon be ready to start meeting some other dogs outside of the home, and we can’t wait to see how he does.

In the meantime, Todd has absolutely no problem putting up with the abuse dished out by some of his feline companions. 😂 Apparently, three legs are more than enough to survive life with cats!

This sweet boy continues to be an absolute gem. 🥰🐾

Yes it’s true! The trapping adventures will continue. If you’re interested in joining us for any aspect of the activity, please follow the OP and send an email.

After yesterday’s on event at SAVE - Southern Alberta Veterinary Emergency, I headed into Calgary and came home with 23 traps from Canadian Animal Task Force. The other traps we’ll be using are already with BHARS, which means we’ll have quite the collection of feline Airbnb accommodations ready to go!

On September 9th alongside our parent rescue, BHARS, we will begin trapping two colonies, with approximately 70 cats expected to be TNVR’d. They’ll head to Calgary on the 10th, have surgery on the 11th, and come home on the 12th. If even half of those 70 cats are female, and each had an average of two litters over the next year, that’s roughly 70 litters prevented in ONE year. At an average of four kittens per litter, that could mean around 280 kittens never being born into already struggling outdoor colonies. 🤯 That’s the kind of impact TNVR can make!

And we need some extra people to pull this off! We’re looking for people who want to learn how to trap, especially anyone interested in continuing as part of our trapping team when our regular trappers aren’t available. If trapping isn’t your thing, we’ll also need help transporting cats and cleaning traps afterward. If you’d like to be part of these four very busy days, email [email protected] and tell us where you’d like to help. Seventy cats, two colonies and four days gives us one incredible opportunity to change what the future looks like for these colonies, and with our community beside us, we’re making it better, together. ♥️🩶🐾

💗 Mira update! 💗

When town officials alerted us to a tiny kitten found alone in the grass at the town works building, Mira was only 1–2 days old. She needed round-the-clock care, so we transferred her to ARF Alberta - Animal Rescue Foundation, who were in a better position to give this little girl exactly what she needed.

And now we’ve received an update that has us smiling! 🥹

Mira is gaining weight and starting to open her eyes! 👀💕

She’s still tiny, and there’s a long way to go, but we think this little girl is going to make it. ❤️🐾

Keep growing, Mira. We’re all rooting for you!

Our rescue is volunteer powered, with donations from individuals like you! 🫵🏼 Help us say yes more often, buy tickets in our End of Summer 50/50!

🌶️ Do you like your cats a little spicy? 🌶️

Because we need YOU. 😻

Our recent trapping efforts brought us a whole schwack of kittens who are mild to medium spicy and seriously lacking in the human-socialization department.

But we think there’s a loving companion cat hiding inside many of these little spicy beans. They just need time, patience, and someone willing to show them that humans aren’t so scary. ❤️

If you’ve been thinking about fostering, this is your moment. And if you signed up before but haven’t fostered in a while, we’d love to have you back!

🌶️ We’re looking for fosters who can commit at least a couple of months to helping these kittens come around.

Ready to take on a little spice?

Come get spicy with us. 🌶️🐾
