THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING
A shout out to the clients we had booked for today who had to be rescheduled - most with very little notice! We appreciate your understanding. As you probably know, there are many families in the city who are fostering pets (cats, dogs and more) who belong to families from the northern communities who had to be evacuated due to the wildfires. We cannot imagine how difficult it had to be to leave one’s home and to have to leave pets behind. Thank goodness for the many organizations, like Northern Reach, who were able to bring these much loved pets to Thunder Bay to be cared for. Anyway, when you foster a pet you treat it like your own! And the current cat Kyr is fostering needed to see a vet. We tried yesterday but the field vet office had to close early due to an emergency so we had no choice but to go back today and get back in line. And all our clients booked today had to be cancelled (and will be rebooked.) But it means someone’s much loved cat will stay healthy! So thank you. AND thank you to VAC Community Veterinarian Program and the care they are providing to all the fosters, and to the services they are now offering to the general public as well. They are seeing and working to address the desperate need for more available vet services in our community and we cannot thank them enough! Links to some of the organizations active during this time of need can be found in the comments.
