Tonight we’re cheering for our favourite drag queen, Mya Foxx, as she competes on the season six premiere of Canada's Drag Race! 👑

Last summer Mya even stopped by the shelter to introduce our litter of Halifax Drag Queens. All the kitties will be routing for you, Mya!

*The Drag Queen Kittens have all been adopted*

Looking for someone to cozy up with this winter? Meet Boddington & Stella - a bonded pair of gentle souls looking to find a home to retire in.

These sweet seniors take a little time to adjust to new environments but once comfortable, their affection towards people shines.

Did you know that November is adopt a senior pet month? Often the animals who stay in the shelter the longest, senior companions still have plenty of love to offer. ❤️

We’re sending out a huge congratulations to all students in the Veterinary Assistant program who graduated yesterday! 😸

Bide Awhile partners with Maritime Business College to provide hands on experience for students in the VA program. Each month the class spends a day at the shelter putting their skills to work.

We’re also sending out a special congratulations to our very own Kennel Attendant, Kayla, who was one of yesterday’s graduates! 🎓

Adoption Update: Leela (Now Maud Lewis)

"I just wanted to send an update on Leela (renamed Maud Lewis or Maudie for short). She’s doing so great and is happy and healthy and loves to play with her new brothers. It’s like she has always been with us - she is cuddly and loving and so sweet and we couldn’t be happier!"

Adoption Update: Panda (Now Raleigh)

"Just wanted to send along some updates on Panda, who we now call Raleigh (like the bicycle!). He’s been a big lover boy since day one, but we’ve loved seeing his playful personality grow the longer we’ve had him.

Every day he gets bigger and fluffier. Even though he starts every morning trying to play with our feet under the covers we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’ve even been spending a lot of time thinking about coming back to get him a sibling/playmate!

I hope you’ve all been doing well and I wanted to say how grateful I am for all the care and support you showed us. He’s a very healthy and happy kitty."
