We are a volunteer animal rescue organization that relies completely on the generosity of our commun
(4)

Currently celebrating our 25th year, Mississauga Humane Society (MHS) is a registered non-profit, no-kill charity, founded in 1999. We have grown over the years but the mission remains the same: to save as many animals as possible.��The organization runs on the unpaid labour of an extensive network of passionate volunteers and our dedicated board members. Our volunteers rescue and foster hundreds

of cats and dogs every year in Mississauga and beyond. Having many caring foster homes enables us to work closer with our community and allows homeless dogs and cats to thrive in a home environment until they are adopted. Many of the animals we get into our care have had rough starts, behavioral issues, and their self-confidence shattered; our foster homes provide a nurturing and loving environment to build up these hurt souls to become their best selves again!��

Fundraising events, donations and sponsors cover essentials: food and medical expenses until the cats and dogs are placed into permanent, loving homes. Every dollar raised, every volunteer hour goes only towards the welfare of our furry friends we're always happy to hear from you.!

Currently in our care, please meet our handsome Ricky 🐾

Ricky's human father was no longer able to take care of Ricky and his fellow kitty family, Tammy, Baby Kitty and Barney, due to health issues. His family reached out to multiple city and animal rescue agencies but no one was willing to take in five elderly cats. Finally, his family reached out to Mississauga Humane Society and we agreed to help this kitty family.

Ricky is 21.5 years old and diabetic. He requires twice daily injections and is tested daily to monitor his Blood Glucose Level. His foster dad takes extremely good care of him. He bathes him frequently as he soils himself. He also brushes and trims his fur daily (as it easily becomes matted). For his remaining years, Ricky is treated with dignity, is loved and enjoys the company of other kitties in his foster home.

It is because of your support and generous contributions that MHS is able to take care of sweet gentle Ricky. 🐾

This Christmas, if you are thinking about getting a pet as a present, please consider carefully their long term care and the commitment involved in owning a pet. If you do decide to invite a pet into your family, always adopt from a rescue where so many animals are looking for good homes.

Pets provide us with so many wonderful health benefits, give you unconditional love but you definitely want to ensure you’re serious about pet ownership before you adopt. It’s a beautiful lifelong relationship that you’re both invested in! 🐾❤️

Fur-Baby Friday, Available for Adoption: Heathcliffe

Adult Male, 4years, Friendly/Gentle, FIV+

Heathcliffe is a handsome charmer from Texas, where he was scheduled to be euthanized. Due to his life on the streets, he has tested positive for FIV and has had all of his teeth removed, except for his canines but I think you'll agree, he's still so adorable! 💙

Heathcliffe is a very loving boy who loves to eat, sleep and hang out with his foster dad. He likes to be pet and receive attention on his own terms and would make a wonderful companion.

He is approximately four years old and in excellent health despite his FIV status. Heathcliff would do best in a quiet home with no small children or other animals.

If you're considering adopting this handsome Texan and would like to know more about adopting an FIV+ cat, check out the link below:

October is Giving Month at Microsoft and Mississauga Humane Society (MHS) was fortunate enough to have been chosen to participate in a fundraising event at Microsoft Headquarters in Toronto.

Lily and her colleagues invited MHS volunteers to Microsoft on Tuesday, October 29th for a wonderful day of sharing updates about our rescue animals, discussing
recent campaigns being sponsored by Humane Canada as well as team-building activities.

Videos of our rescue animals were shared, holiday pet bandanas were made and we even had a fun photobooth! Professional photographer and dedicated MHS volunteer – Brittany (Brittany Tapper Photography (www.instagram.com/brittany.tapper)- took the photos during the Microsoft Giving Month sessions. Brittany is such an incredibly talented photographer and we are so fortunate that she was able to contribute to our day of activities.

The highlight of the day was a virtual session with Maria and her foster mom. For those of you who have visited us at events or have seen her story on our Instagram page, know that Maria is
a huge bull mastiff with a heart of gold. We learned so much about Maria’s journey to health and about the heroic efforts of her incredible foster mother. Maria was a calm and gentle presence throughout our virtual session.

We will be forever grateful for the generosity and support of Lily and her team at Microsoft. It is because of generous contributors such as the team from Microsoft, that we are able to continue our rescue work helping homeless animals find forever homes❤️🐾
