Happy Caturday! 🐈
Come down 12pm-4pm to see the sweet kitties.
Please help us get the word out! Our posts have been getting less traction lately for some reason, but we don’t want this highly requested fundraiser to flop. So, please share this post, tell friends about the raffle, and make sure to get your tickets!
✴️ We are thrilled to announce our second online 50/50! With our last raffle raising over $15,000, we’re hoping to beat that record with your help.

Please read raffle rules and dates. The winner will be announced on September 21st! 🐾
Noel and Harriett are screaming from the rooftop for help with donations this week:
- clumping cat litter
- wet and dry kitten food
- monetary donations to help with veterinary bills
If you’re looking to help, you can bring donations into the shelter during our open hours, order from our Amazon wish list ( https://a.co/1hxeCX5 ), or donate money via e-transfer to [email protected].
Thank you for all the support! 💚

Today is International Homeless Animal Day. With almost all animal shelters being so overwhelmed, it is essential that communities work together to support rescues and help homeless animals.
These are the best ways for you to help:
- spay and neuter your own pets
- foster or volunteer for your local shelter
- donate funds or needed supplies
- adopt from shelters rather than pet stores
- share posts and partake in fundraising events
To donate directly to our shelter, you can send funds to [email protected]. To get involved with our organization, please message or email us for more details! 🐾
The last two ‘C’ babies, Comet and Colonel, went to their forever home this week! We are so glad these very bonded brothers got adopted together. 💚
The ‘P’ babies are cuddle puddling hard today! 💚
Some of you may have seen them yesterday, but we have new faces in the main cat bay! Marigold and her babies, Mackenzie, Mae, Marvin, and Maggie, as well as Tasha and her babies, Theodosia and Toulouse.
Make sure if you peek in and say hi that you are quiet. They are adjusting to a new and busy environment. 🐾
Mackenzie and Mae are doing their best modelling to get your attention! They want you to know what items we are in need of this week:
- vinegar
- paper towel
- clumping cat litter
- wet and dry kitten food
If you’re looking to help, you can bring donations into the shelter during our open hours, order from our Amazon wish list ( https://a.co/1hxeCX5 ), or donate money via e-transfer to [email protected].
Thank you for all the support! 💚

Mercedes is off to her new home! Congratulations to her and her new dad! 💚
Sometimes life gifts you someone so special that words don’t really do them justice. Among the many amazing supporters we have, there is one that truly stands out.
Mrs. Linda Mackenzie almost never misses coming to the shelter on an open day. With every visit, she comes ready with treats for the staff or donations for the animals, and always so much love to give. Her gentle and nurturing demeanour make her the perfect person to help our shy or transitioning cats who need a little extra attention.
Each of the animals adore her and the humans behind CFC feel the same. This is why we named Linda our Shelter Grandma. We feel incredibly lucky to have her unwavering support and cannot ever thank her enough for everything she has done for us. 💚
Now is great time to find your next pet!

Freya’s babies started the messy transition from milk to solids. Make sure your volume is all the way up so you can hear them eating. Some of us at CFC love it while the others aren’t so keen. Tell us if you find this sound endearing or not. We’d love the hear what you guys think!
Pepper made the most of the leftover event balloons!
UPDATE: Scotch and Chloe were adopted! Both of these sweet pups are available for adoption! Check out their profiles below: 💚 Scotch: https://www.facebook.com/share/Qwu4fapooQJpdm5c/?mibextid=WC7FNe 💚 Chloe: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/a8ToZXWJz47HkdU4/?mibextid=WC7FNe
We are looking forward to our upcoming visit to Seasons Retirement Community next week. 🐱
We have just admitted 10 kittens! 🐱 They are stoked to be in their new set up with so much room to play (and make a mess). While these little ones are not yet ready for visitors or adoption, we’ll keep you updated on their progress. ✳️ New kittens cost our organization about $500- $600. This doesn’t include costs if there are complications, special requirements, or if the cat ends up staying with us for an extended time. So, with their arrival is the reality of some hefty bills coming our way. If you’d like to help with the cost of their medical expenses (spays/neuters, microchips, vaccinations, anti-parasitics, probiotics, health checks), litter, food, toys, and everything else, you can send an e-transfer to [email protected] or donate in person during our open hours! 🐾
Thanks to everyone who came down to our Santa photos yesterday. Krystina Lynn Photography knocked it out of the park as usual. The winner of the door prize candle set from The Dusty Sparrow is Mike Prince. We’re open from 12pm to 5pm today. Come down with your raffle ticket to collect it!
Thank you to everyone that came out to our Halloween photos! 🎃 The two winners of a $25 gift card from Petlife are….. Alicia Potter Brock Schultz Once again, a huge thank you to Krystina Lynn Photography. 🐾
It’s not only our animals that we love taking care of, but also the birds that live outside the shelter. 💚
Love birds Edgar and Harriett are two of the cats that constantly get overlooked. Both are very similar in personalities which is why they are such a well matched pair. Edgar and Harriett are quiet, but playful cats who enjoy chasing toys, snuggling, and exploring the catio. Both are a little shy at first making them easy to miss when people come to the shelter. However, after they are given ample time to warm up and feel safe, their true colours shine through. We are hoping to find a home that would be willing to take both and offer them a life where they can be just who they perfectly are. For this reason, we will be offering a “2 for 1” on adoption fees for Edgar and Harriett. Please help us find a forever home for them by sharing this post! 💚
Bella knows just how to make the perfect bed for cat naps. Come down today from 12pm-4pm to meet this sweet girl. 💚
Please enjoy this video showing a brief window into the progression of kitten development. From eyes just opening, to learning to play, all the way to the mess of starting solid foods. Portia is doing an amazing job raising her five kittens, Patrick, Pepper, Pipie, Polly, and Purcy. These guys are still too young to be adopted, but watch our posts for future updates. 🐾
Happy Monday! Please enjoy watching the cats experience catnip spray as much as we did! 💚
Portia successfully delivered 5 healthy kittens just over a week ago, and is doing such a good job with her babies. She came to us pregnant through Animal Control after being found as a stray. While we are very happy all of them are safe and cared for with us, it is a great reminder why spaying and neutering your pets is so important.
Make sure your volume is all the way up for this one! We love that transition from milk to solid food, but it can be pretty messy! 🍼 (These kittens are not currently available for adoption.)
Last weekend, we hosted our 9th annual Raise the Woof. We laughed until our faces hurt from great comedy, ate delicious food, bid on so many wonderful silent auction items, got our caricatures done, enjoyed plenty of drinks, and had so much fun! It was a massive success, and we raised over $10,000 for our animals! The Board would like to send a massive thank you to the following people, companies, and groups: James Uloth with Raise the Woof Comedians Dave Nystrom and Scott Belford Susanne Ritchie with Artforms Illustration Alicia, Kayla, and Carmen at the MacKenzie Centre Sam, Marie, and the team at the White Bull The Beer Locker LR Light and Sound Close to Home Event Rental The Ramada Our Sponsors: Claro Family Practice, Bob Dale Oilfield Services, F&L Cannabis, CFI Energy Services, Sinopec Canada, David Pooley Our Donors: Hayduk Picker Service Ltd., Drayton Valley Golf Course, Pristine Cleaning and Detailing, Can-Vac Oilfield Services, Canadian Tire, Fountain Tire, The Beer Locker, Bailey’s Welding & Construction Inc., Timeless Creations, Obsidian Energy Ltd., IGA, Candace Inglis, Jamie Birchall, Value Drugmart, Bumper to Bumper, Khals’s Steakhouse and Lounge, The Dusty Sparrow, Advantage Manufacturing Ltd., Miktye Trucking Ltd., Kym and Dean Lathwell, OK Tire, Beyond Beauty Salon and Spa, RPM Vac-Steam-Pressure, Boston Pizza/ Dairy Queen, Back Forty Co., One Therapy for Body, Mind & Spirit, Local Collective Our Staff: Laura, Jenna, and Kassidy Our Volunteers: Norma, Greg, Kristie, Kathryn, Shae, Krista, and Rylan … and of course, everyone that attended the event!💚
✳️ HELP US FIND HARLEY A HOME OR FOSTER! She has been waiting for over a year…. Harley deserves a life outside of the shelter being loved by a forever family. Breed: Shepherd x Rottweiler Sex: Female Age: 4.5 years Adoption Fee: $150 (REDUCED) 🔹 Harley is incredibly loving and loyal, and great with people. She would enjoy spending her days being the perfect companion dog on a farm or acreage as a solo pet. Harley loves exploring outside, playing with toys, and her tail never stops! She is a very smart girl, great with commands, and aims to please. 🔸 Due to high prey drive and pickiness with other dogs, a home with no other animals or young children would be ideal. Harley needs an owner who has prior dog experience. She will require someone that is happy to allow her to just be herself with low training expectations. Please share this post or tell people about Harley to help her finally find a loving home! To inquire further about Harley, please message us on Facebook or call 780-898-7297. 🐾
💚 Cute alert! 💚 Our sweet Diana safely birthed 5 beautiful kittens a few days ago, and all are doing very well. She is such a fantastic mother, and her babies are growing so quickly. Make sure to follow our page for more Diana and baby updates!
