How cute is Kara 😍
Kara is one of over #1000 dogs that has been spayed through our partnership program with the Western College of Veterinary Medicine and the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association. Kara has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, tattooed and returned to her family in one of our partner Nations. No more unwanted or unplanned litters for this gal!
Rosie is a 2018 CAP alumni. We recently assisted her and her family through our Emergency Medical Fund after she had infected bite wounds on her chest from another dog. Rosie was returned home and greeted by Scooby-Doo and Nina, who are 2022 CAP alumni!
Our Emergency Medical Fund exists for 2 reasons:
1) To ensure that animals in medical distress can have access to veterinary care and;
2) To offer an affordable option to low-income pet owners in our partner Nations so pets and families can stay together
You can help by donating to our Emergency Medical Fund! Donations of $25 or over are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

44 lucky ladies enjoyed their "Spaycation" at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine and were returned home by our amazing volunteers on Monday December 18th! This program is vital to ongoing, sustainable dog population and health management in our partner First Nations. A huge thank you to the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, Dr. Bruce Grahn, Carolyn Cartwright, and their incredible team at the WCVM who make this program possible for us!
This recent venture marked "Spay Run" #29 in the books! 959 female dogs have been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and tattooed through this partnership program since 2015! Thousands of unplanned/unwanted litters of puppies have been prevented because of this incredible partnership and program. We are so grateful... and so are the girls!
Happy tails from some of the 39 lucky ladies who were spayed and returned home last week! That's 39 female dogs that won't be at the mercy of packs of intact male dogs because they're in heat, they won't be producing hundreds of unwanted puppies and won't be spreading contagious diseases and parasites.
Once again, thank you to Dr. Grahn, the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and the crew at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine for their partnership with this program!
Kitties....kitties...everywhere!
Earlier this week, our team assisted a property in one of our communities that is overrun with cats. What started as 2 stray cats taking up residence quickly exploded into an estimated over 40 cats in a short amount of time. We trapped and caught 15 cats so far...and of these 15, 12 of them are female 😳
If we do some quick math, one female cat can have up to 3 litters per year with an average of 4 kittens per litter. These 12 female cats alone would have had the potential to create another 144 kittens in ONE YEAR 🤯
Please spay and neuter your cats! These guys are lucky that they'll get a second chance but so many cats and kittens out there are homeless, fighting for survival and suffering from preventable diseases. Kittens are cute, we know, but they quickly mature into cats and can start reproducing as young as 6 months old.
We are working with partner rescues to intake these kitties, luckily 8 of them are on their way to our pals at Cochrane & Area Humane Society tomorrow.

Geezer is an old man that was neutered many years ago. He visited our clinic to receive a wellness exam, updated vaccines, deworming and tick prevention. He was NOT impressed with our hospitality and felt the need to tell his dad all about it upon returning home 🤣

Day 2 of our clinic in Mosquito First Nation. Cat spays and neuters are on the go!
This is why we do what we do 🧡
Diamond was severely attacked by a larger dog and required urgent vet care. Through our Emergency Medical Fund, we were able to get her the emergency care she needed and provided an affordable option for her owner so they could be reunited. After 2 weeks of recovery with one of our volunteers, Diamond was returned home and we think the videos and pictures speak for themselves 🥰

Shea was one of 43 lucky gals to be spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and tattooed through our partnership with the Western College of Veterinary Medicine.
She was so happy to be returned home to her dad!
When 1+1 does not equal 2 😣
While doing community outreach for an upcoming dog spay program, our teams of volunteers came across THREE separate properties with an over abundance of cats. Between these three properties, there is an estimated 60-70 cats that need to be humanely trapped and either spayed/neutered and returned to the property or placed with a rescue organization for rehoming.
This is going to be a massive undertaking for our volunteer driven organization and we are humbly asking for help from our supporters. We are in need of monetary donations to help cover the cost of vetting the cats that will be fixed and returned and transportation for the cats that will be placed with partner rescues and shelters.
Spaying and neutering is the only way to stabilize and control the pet population and we are currently in crisis due to too many animals and not enough homes.
There are several ways to donate. All donations over $25 are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

WE BROKE A RECORD YESTERDAY! *47* female dogs have been delivered by volunteers to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon to be spayed and will be returned to their families on Monday!
CAP has had this incredible partnership with the WCVM since 2015 and to date, 756 female dogs from our various partner First Nations communities have been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed & tattooed through the program. It started off small, spaying 10-15 dogs at a time twice a year and has expanded exponentially to spaying 35-40 dogs in one weekend, four times per year. We had a few extra squeak into the program yesterday 😅
Let's give a HUGE round of applause to all the volunteers who spent their day picking up these gals at their homes and safely getting them to the WCVM, and to all the staff at the WCVM that will be caring for these ladies all weekend while they enjoy their "Spaycation" 👏🥰 This program is crucial to managing healthy dog populations in First Nations communities by reducing unwanted/unplanned litters of puppies, decreasing bite incidents and the transmission of contagious diseases and parasites, and creating overall safer and healthier communities for people and animals.

We are a registered charity and donations over $25 are eligible for a tax deductible receipt.
Can we get a big round of applause and a heartfelt thank you to Sweetgrass First Nation for raising $2000 for CAP! The attendance for the Bingo was the largest since pre-Covid, they had a full house!
A few community members gathered together to host a Bingo on December 4th to raise money to support CAP's programs. THANK YOU to Karen, Diane, Greta, Deb & Hazen for organizing the fundraiser, gathering donations, volunteering, cooking food for the canteen and just being all around amazing, selfless human beings 🥰
Thank you to all the businesses and individual community members that donated prizes for the bingo and items for the canteen to help make the fundraiser such a big success.
CAP has been working in Sweetgrass First Nation for a decade and together we are creating Healthier Dogs and Healthier Communities 🐾🐶🧡
12 Spays of Christmas - TNRM cats
What's TNRM?
Trap, Neuter, Return, Manage
3 weeks ago, volunteers caught 2 feral cats that were living under the gas station in one of our partner communities. These girls were born at this location to a feral mother and have been around humans everyday but were still very scared and timid. We were hoping that they would start to come out of their shell and be able to move to a rescue to be adopted into homes but unfortunately, they made zero progress.
With SPCAs and rescues overflowing with cats and kittens, the simple reality is that there are too many cats and not enough homes. Instead of euthanasia, we made the decision to spay, vaccinate, deworm and return the cats to the store. They have spent their entire lives here and were in excellent shape when we picked them up, store employees and community members have been feeding them very well. We provided an insulated shelter for them, as well as 2 big bags of food and some canned cat food. The staff and community members have been made aware of the arrangements for the kitties and are happy to keep feeding them now that they won't produce more feral cats!
We will continue to check in and provide food as required.
TNRM is a great alternative option for cats that are undersocialized but have caregivers, adequate shelter and access to food and water.
These girls are now part of our 12 Spays of Christmas campaign. You can help sponsor the spay, vaccinations and deworming of a female cat or dog in need by donating $200. Canine Action Project is a Canadian registered charity and can issue a tax receipt. Go to www.canineactionproject.com/donate to learn more
