Healing Animal Scars - Sonya's Cat & Animal Rescue Society

You know they're coming! On Canada Day, lots of people put off fireworks in their backyard, in addition to the large displays put off by the municipality. Please be prepared and keep your cats and dogs safely inside. There are always lots of missing pets on the lost and found cat groups the day after holidays when fireworks occur. Don't let yourself become one of those owners who ends up with a missing Kitty or dog

🎆 Fireworks & furry friends don’t mix! 🎇

As celebrations kick off, here’s how to help keep your pets safe and calm:
✔️ Get walks in early before the noise starts
✔️ Set up a comfy space with their favorite blanket or toy
✔️ Play white noise or calming music
✔️ Keep them indoors and secure
✔️ Use tools like thunder shirts or pheromone diffusers (Adaptil/Feliway)
✔️ Reach out to your vet if extra support is needed

A little prep goes a long way in keeping them happy and stress-free! 🐾

🎁🎉 🐾 💲 The Purr-fect Birthday Gift? Saving a Life ❤️😻 🐱

Hi friends and followers,
I'm turning 53 years old on July 3rd. For my birthday, in lieu of gifts for myself, I’m asking for something close to my heart: a donation to Healing Animal SCARS, a wonderful cat rescue that gives abandoned, injured, and vulnerable cats a second chance at life.
We have depleted most of the funds in our bank account and need to fundraise before we can rescue any more cats.
Every dollar helps provide food, shelter, medical care, and love to cats who desperately need it. Whether it’s a kitten born on the streets or a senior cat abandoned by their family, Healing Animal SCARS is there—thanks to people like you.
If you’ve ever seen a cat purr in safety, stretch out in the sun, or curl up in someone’s arms after knowing nothing but fear—you’ll understand why this means so much to me.
🎂 My birthday wish? To raise $1,000 for these amazing felines.
🐾 Donate by sending an EMT to [email protected] or send me a message to ask about other donation methods. ( I will copy my email address in the comments so you can easily copy and paste it)

💖 Help me celebrate my birthday by healing tiny hearts and saving lives.

Thank you for making my birthday matter in the best way possible and celebrating with me in the most meaningful way I can imagine.

With love (and paw prints),
Katsonya

The kitties send sandpaper kisses!

P.S. my wish is also for our adult kitties who have been in Foster for a long time to finally get adopted. Please share to help find a home for Alanis Morissette and sweet Momma Willow

Alanis has been in Foster since November. We need to find this girl the perfect home! She wants to be a single cat because she doesn't like other kitties. She takes an inexpensive medication daily to manage a skin condition.

Her foster mom Lisa Froese could answer any questions about her if you can't reach me when you're inquiring about adoption. She wrote
"Alanis would never.
She would clear the history and fake watch it with you for the cuddles and you’d never know that she knew the ending 😻

Alanis spent some rough times on the cold streets of Spryfield before being caught. She was scared, which made her a tiny bit mean but she has become sweet as can be - an intensely affectionate lap cat but not constantly, and not anxious.

Will cuddle for binge-watching ✅
Will steal snacks ✅

Alanis is ready for adoption! She needs an inexpensive medication that is very easy to give for an over-grooming habit. She is curious, smart, playful, and affectionate 🧡

Contact Sonya for adoption interest!"

We want to share the amazing work we're doing, and show how a share of our June grants round could help us achieve even more.

Since we started Litter Quitters program in April, we have rescued 31 cats and kittens . The program aims to prevent kittens from being given away "free to a good home", to improve the healthcare of the kitties, and to reduce the population cats, by offering to spay owned mother cats, when the owner surrenders all the kittens in the litter to our rescue, so they can get health care at the vet and be spayed and neutered, before being placed for adoption to responsible indoor homes.

We have helped many people who found a stray cat that ended up having kittens, and they simply didn't have resources to get them "fixed". Recipients of our program include senior citizens, cancer patients, single moms and hard-working people earning minimum-wage.

Please vote for us to share in this month’s grant $80,000 CA

This grant would mean so much to us because it will help us pay veterinary bills for rescued cats and kittens, and to provide basic supplies to all our amazing foster homes!

Voting is free and only takes a few seconds!
