We are very fortunate to have such dedicated & caring volunteers. Louise Betterley has spent countless hours working with several of our more nervous kitties. Recently Louise had a breakthrough with Mischief. She has been at Animal Aide for over a year and had come to our shelter from another rescue.
She would not let you pet her or even touch her when she arrived - a very scared kitty.
Look at her now letting Louise pet her. She was comfortable enough to be making biscuits and purring. This goes to show that with time & patience, breakthroughs can happen.
You have come along way Mischief!

There are few things, if anything, more painful than the passing of a pet. Our furry best friends are there with us through tough and happy times. They’re there to comfort us, to love us, and even to protect us. And still, they never ask for anything in return. Today the Animal Aide family had to say our final farewells to our beloved resident Jimmy.
Jimmy first came to Animal Aide in February 2018 from the St. Thomas pound. He was very friendly and loved children of all ages. Jimmy was already neutered and front declawed. He was adopted from us just 10 days later. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long for Jimmy as he was returned to us less than a month later. They said he wasn’t always using the litter box. With vet tests and the way he acted at the center, always using the litter box, we decided it was best to make Jimmy a resident. He had chosen his home and we were thrilled with his selection. Being a resident comes with some perks. This guy had his own fan club. Cats loved him and people treated him as a celebrity, visiting him daily and taking his pictures through the windows. He greeted everyone he met with the offering of sweet kisses, until today. Today began differently, Jimmy was not the same and his kisses were weakened. He was taken to our vet and it was determined that today was his time. He made his way over the Rainbow Bridge with not a dry eye in the house, surrounded by many that love him.

Sadly, this is the time of year when people start to worry about the cats they may have been feeding in their yards or neighbourhoods. Some may feel that the right thing to do is set up a trap to get the cat to a rescue. Speaking for Animal Aide, we are full, and the cages we do have are being filled by cats who have been on our wait list for months or cats returning from fosters. So, please, before setting up traps make sure there is a CONFIRMED place to take the cat if trapping is successful. Also, be sure to make an appropriate donation in order for your "buddy" to receive veterinary treatment. Animal rescues, just like the general population, has felt the pain of inflation and needs your help more than ever.

UPDATE: Magpie made it home for Christmas. Though she is still recovering, she is healthy & making gains each day. Merry Christmas Magpie!
It takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal. Here at Animal Aide of St. Thomas-Elgin we do our very best to meet the medical needs of the feline's in our care. Magpie is the very best patient! đź’ťđź’–đź’ť
