Speak Up For Paws

Speak Up For Paws Our Mission is to Dedicate, Educate and Advocate for animals in the Ottawa and surrounding areas. We are here to have a conversation, share and learn ourselves.

We are 2 women dedicated to helping cats and helping others help cats. We have teamed together to empower others through education and advocacy. We don’t claim to have all the answers or even always have the right answers. Our goal is to share our knowledge and information with likeminded individuals who are also dedicated to helping cats and other animals. Although our focus is with cats we feel

that all animals deserve a voice. As individuals we can make a small difference but as a community, we can create a larger impact. Sandi Lawson- Founded and operates Adopt Me Cat Rescue. Also fosters wildlife when possible. Passionate about all animals and believes they are equally deserving of love, respect and compassion. Jackie Gauthier- Founder and owner of Jackie to the rescue Passionate about rescuing always ready to go when the call comes in whether it be for a cat or a dog all the way down to a chipmunk or a bird I will be there. Speaking up for those with no voice to speak up for themselves.

Garfield was adopted! This kind couple drove 5 hrs (round trip) to adopt this discarded cat who had been living on the streets for years. They understand that he will need time and patience and are open to loving him unconditionally. Oh what a world it would be if more people adopted cats with a heart full of love and not because the cat was the right breed, color or because they were purring when pet. 🙄
