Anarch-Kitty Rescue

The thunderstorm here in London/Ontario a few nights ago, was undoubtedly scary for many animals & pets out there.
So we thought we might share with you some storm pet safety tips.

Last night's storm was scary for many pets out there.....
So we thought we might share with you, some storm pet safety tips.

Due to the pandemic TnR (TnR = Trap Neuter Return) has been off and on, over this past year and a half or so.
We haven't seen the great numbers we were seeing in the past few years, as far as having ferals and others TnR'ed.
Due to the large number of folks now working from home and just generally being at home more than prior to the pandemic, there was a huge pet boom and we saw a large increase in the number of folks seeking out and adopting pets, to keep them company while being home more.
This contributed greatly to vets being even busier than they normally were, and many found it increasingly difficult to get vet appointments to have their pets spayed/neutered/etc....in due time, many times having to book months ahead of time with the vet of their choosing.
This season will be an increasingly busy kitten season, where we will see larger numbers than many years prior.
In fact, kitten season has already begun here, as we recently rescued a pregnant female cat, from the extremely cold and frosty temperatures outdoors.
We shudder to imagine what would have happened to her and her soon to be born kittens, had she still been outside.
The likelihood of them surviving out there right now, would be slim-to-none.
Thank goodness that we got to her and got her inside where it is warm and dry, and where her every need is currently being attended to.
So please, have your pets spayed/neutered at the earliest possible convenience, and encourage your friends and family member to do the same.
And if you are of limited means and/or considered low-income, please feel free to PM us, and we will direct you to low-income and even semi-subsidized local spay and neuter programs.
We are here to help in any way that we can, in a continued effort to help curb the ever growing local cat & kitten population. ❤

FYI : Please have your pets spayed & neutered. (y)

Please take heed and have your pets spayed/neutered and vaccinated/etc....
There is no real breeding season for cats, and having kittens outside or even in a barn, in our cold Canadian winters, is not safe for any cats with her kittens out there.
I have personally had to care for hypothermic cats & kittens before, and the sad reality is that they do not always survive.
Even if you think you may have caught them in time, despite all of your best efforts and/or even a vet's best efforts, sadly they will not all survive.
I have seen with my own eyes some of the horrific things that our frosty and freezing Canadian winters can do to a poor cat or kitten, and you never get that sight out of your mind.
I wish wholeheartedly for all of you, that you will hopefully never have to see such things, because it is completely and utterly heartbreaking.... 💔

And some of the horrid feline diseases & viruses out there, that are incurable, can easily be prevented by simple vaccinations.
There are low cost, geared-to-income and even almost free spay/neuter/vaccination programs available for elderly, disabled and low-income people out there.

Please feel free to inquire with us, and we will take the time to tell you all about them, and even provide you with the necessary information on them, or direct you to them.

A little Easter pet safety PSA.....
We just wanted to wish a very safe and happy Ostara or Easter to one and all.
