Warmest birthday greetings to an outstanding individual. Our team wouldn't be the same without you, Louise Betterley. We are thankful to have you as a board member, supervisor, and most importantly, a friend to us all.

Today the rescuers required rescuing. When all was thought to be quiet this Sunday afternoon at the shelter, an electrical outlet caused quite the scare. Luckily volunteers were on-site caring for the kitties when this occurred and quick action was taken.

We would like to extend our thanks to the St. Thomas-Elgin Fire Department for their quick response. We would also like to extend a sincere thank you to Joel Hayes of Joel Hayes Electric. Joel answered our plea for assistance outside of his regular business hours, in order to ensure the safety of our felines.

Our Animal Aide Christmas Potluck for volunteers and their families was yet again a huge hit. Great food, friends, music, and of course our favourite felines. A special thank you to all who were able to join us and make the gathering so special.

UPDATE: ADOPTED

NAME: Whitney, female/spayed
CLASS: Domestic Medium Hair, Dilute Calico
AGE: 1 year old

Whitney arrived to Animal Aide with 10 kittens in tow. She was a very loving mother that gave everything she had to each one of her kittens. As her kittens grew, they needed her less and less and soon they will be nearing the time to find their own furever homes. Whitney is social and gentle. She is affectionate and enjoys laying across your lap.

NAME: Joe, male/neutered
CLASS: Domestic Short Hair Bengal Cross
AGE: 4 years and 5 months old

Joe is a sweet vocal boy that loves attention. He is beautiful and he sure knows it!!! He arrived to Animal Aide on several different occasions when individuals in the neighbourhood where Joe originated were concerned for his safety. He settled into our shelter and has been a chatty delight. He gets along well with most other cats, but any cat that is dominant in nature, Joe will voice his concern.

UPDATE: ADOPTED

NAME: Carter, male/neutered
CLASS: Domestic Short Hair, Brown Tabby with White
AGE: 6 months old

Carter is a sweet and fun loving feline. He loves to play and he will always seek out your attention. He would be a great addition to a home with another feline companion.

A very special thank you to the owners of Lockwood Books for demonstrating true leadership in community support. Not only are they a great local community resource, we at Animal Aide also love that they have a feline employee. Fletch (business owner) came to Animal Aide with a $200 donation and bags of litter as all was raised from a recent fundraising event the business hosted. Thank you for partnering with us to make a difference and for believing in our cause! Your support means the world to us.

We are very grateful for the amazing staff at the Missions Thrift Store, here in St. Thomas. The staff decided to forgo Christmas gifts in order to make a $250 donation in support of our rescue! This caring contribution will help us to provide much needed care to the felines within our community. On behalf of everyone at Animal Aide of St. Thomas-Elgin, we extend our heartfelt thanks!

A special thank you to Nicholas, a previous Animal Aide volunteer for his recent donation! It is clear that there are special people in this world. This donation consisted of Lysol wipes, Temptation treats, 2 cases of bleach, and 3 cases of paper towels (not pictured). Nicholas, your contribution will help us provide much needed care for felines within our community. We are very grateful!
