As the year winds down, our team will be taking a well-deserved break to recharge, reflect, and spend time with our loved ones. Our hearts are full of gratitude for the incredible support you’ve shown us throughout the year - whether you’ve donated, volunteered, fostered, or shared our posts, you’ve been a part of every rescue and every happy ending.

Any adoptions, or onboarding currently in progress will proceed and we encourage you to continue to submit applications, which will be reviewed after the holidays.

We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. 💚

It’s rare for us to have three kittens adopted at once, but when it happens, it’s nothing short of magical. We couldn’t be more grateful to Ebbs, Elgin, and Elliott’s adoptive family for opening their hearts and home to this trio!

Their adoptive family recently reported that the trio is adjusting well and thriving in their new home – where they continue to grow, play, and nap together just as they always have! Their family is having a lot of fun with them and enjoying getting to see each of their individual personalities come out.

Thank you to everyone who supports our rescue efforts whether through fostering, donations, or simply spreading the word. This adoption success is a direct result of the incredible community we have.

***Update: thanks to your generosity we've reached our matching goal of $250 meaning you've helped us raise $500 to put towards our outstanding veterinary balance!

Thank you all for your support!***

Unfortunately, after a week we aren’t any closer to reaching our $250 donation matching goal and Christmas is just around the corner. But there’s still time and we’re hopeful that with your support, we will reach our goal!

Even a small donation can go twice as far right now, thanks to this matching offer. Every dollar you give will be doubled and help us to pay down our veterinary balance and continue to provide for the cats in our care.

If you’ve been thinking about donating, now is the purrfect time. Donations can be made via e-transfer to [email protected] (pw: donate).

This holiday season, your generosity can go even further! Thanks to a generous TAF Adopter, all donations made between now and Christmas will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $250. That means your gift will have double the impact, helping us to provide for the cats in our care.

Don’t miss this opportunity to make twice the difference! Donations can be made via e-transfer to [email protected] (pw: donate).

Proceeds from the return of empties help to provide care for our rescue cats. This holiday season, we’re asking you to collect your empty alcohol containers (beer cans/bottles, spirit bottles, wine bottles etc.) and donate them to help support our rescue efforts.

Empties can be dropped off at your convenience at any of our four drop off locations across Ottawa or you can email us at [email protected] for pick up options.

We’re always looking for additional empty drop off locations and volunteers to pick up and return empties. If you’re interested in becoming involved in our empties program or learning more, please send us a message!

Suki will be staying with a sitter over the holidays unless we find her a forever home of her own! Please share our post and help us find Suki a loving adoptive family.

Though Suki may need a little time to warm up, once you gain her trust, she’ll melt your heart with her gentle purrs and affectionate nature. When she’s not curled up for a nap or by the window watching Cat TV, you’ll find her galloping through the halls and batting around her favourite catnip toys.

Suki is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and recently had a dental cleaning. Her adoption fee is $200. If you’re interested in adopting Suki, please fill out our online adoption application: https://www.theaveryfoundation.ca/adoption/adoption-application/cats/ or send us a message with any questions.

At The Avery Foundation, we provide food, veterinary care, and second chances to rescue cats like Pipit, who was saved alongside his siblings and mother from a colony outside Buckingham, QC.

Right now, outstanding vet bills are limiting our ability to help the next animal in need. Every animal we rescue deserves the best care possible, but we can’t do it without your support.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽:
✨Donate – Every dollar helps pay down vet bills and ensures future rescues get the care they deserve. E-transfer to [email protected] (password: donate) or contribute directly to our vet bill by calling or visiting the Glebe Pet Hospital.
✨Share – Spread the word by sharing this post with your friends and family.

Together, we can wipe out this vet balance and continue saving lives. Let’s give Ottawa’s animals the care they deserve! 💞

On the final day of our campaign, we’re asking you to help us spread the message .

When you adopt, you’re not just giving an animal a home – you’re saving a life. Rescues and shelters are full of loving animals, many who have been abandoned or neglected. Here’s why adopting is a life-changing choice:

🐾 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲: by adopting, you’re offering a home to an animal who may have been waiting months or even years for their chance. Shelters and rescues are overcrowded, and every adoption makes space for another animal in need.
🐾 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: every year, millions of animals are euthanized due to overpopulation. By adopting, you’re helping to break the cycle and support responsible pet ownership.
🐾 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: adoption fees are often significantly lower than purchasing a pet from a breeder, and your adoption fee often includes spay/neuter, vaccines, and a microchip.
🐾 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 & 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: rescues provide medical care, temperament assessments, and behavioural training to ensure a pet is ready for their new home.
🐾 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲: by adopting you’re helping to end the demand for puppy mills and unethical breeding practices that prioritize profit over animal welfare.
🐾 𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲: although rescues may have a had a difficult past, they’re often some of the most grateful and loyal companions you can find.

If you’re considering adding a four legged friend to your family, adopt, don’t shop!

One of the ways that our team of volunteers support our rescue efforts is through our empties program. They collect and return empty alcohol containers to raise funds to help with the costs of veterinary care and supplies.

Every bottle collected brings us one step closer to helping animals in need. Here’s how you can help:

🐾 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: start saving your cans and bottles at home!
🐾 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗼𝗳𝗳: find a drop-off location near you or reach out to us for pickup options.
🐾 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: become a drop of location and spread the word in your community.
🐾 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱: share this post and encourage your friends and family to get involved!

Your small contribution makes a BIG impact, helping us provide for animals waiting for their forever homes. Let’s join forces to create a brighter future for our four-legged friends.

Send us a message to learn more about our empties program and how you can get involved!

5 of our , and today we’re shining a spotlight on Wise Whiskers: Aphrodite!

Aphrodite is a serene senior cat who came to us after being rescued from a feral cat colony with her kittens. After spending time indoors nursing her kittens, she discovered that while she’s not a fan of human touch, she loves indoor living and is ready to spend her golden years in comfort. Now, we’re on the hunt for a compassionate and patient adopter to give this special girl the cozy, loving home she deserves.
