A surprising way to support Ottawa’s cats:

We always recommend that cats stay indoors or that they enjoy the outdoors safely on a leash and harness with their owner or in an enclosed catio. The outdoors poses many risks to a cat, and a life of enrichment indoors can prevent heartbreak for the family and suffering for the cat. I know we... Re...

Meet Karl, a brave six-year-old Chihuahua who arrived at the OHS with severe injuries. We don’t know exactly what happened to him, his wounds suggested he’d been in a fight with another animal. He was suffering from a serious eye injury, a broken leg and several large, deep wounds across his face and chest.

Sadly, his leg and eye were too badly damaged to save and our veterinarians removed them to give him the best chance at a happy, healthy life. On top of that, he also had a full dental procedure to treat teeth that were causing him pain and discomfort.

Despite all he’s endured, Karl’s resilience and strength have been truly inspiring. After months of care and healing, we’re thrilled to share that he has made an incredible recovery and is now happily resting in his forever home.

Thank you to our caring community for making stories like Karl’s possible. Want to help other animals like Karl? Make a gift today: https://ow.ly/Oi5f50Wl2Cv

Pumba has been patiently waiting for his forever home for nearly six months. Could you be the one to give him the loving home he deserves?

This two-year-old sweetheart may be a little shy at first but once he feels safe and settled, his charming personality shines. He’s a calm and playful boy who enjoys attention, chin and cheek scritches, and being pet — until it's time for him to get back to his important cat duties, like lounging in a sunny window and watching the world go by.

Pumba would thrive in a calm, patient home where he can continue to build his confidence and enjoy socializing at his own pace. Adopt Pumba: https://ow.ly/TwlG50Wk1ic
