The Avery Foundation The Avery Foundation is a volunteer-run and foster-based animal rescue in Ottawa, ON.

Founded in November 2013, The Avery Foundation is a foster-based animal rescue that is entirely run by a small dedicated group of coordinators with the help of many volunteers. Our mission is to help abandoned and vulnerable animals through foster care, rehabilitation, and adoption; to guide potential adopters in finding the best fit for their family; and to promote responsible pet ownership throu

gh humane education: specifically of the importance of routine veterinary care, spay/neutering and enrichment - ultimately creating a happy and healthy life for as many animals as possible. We host events and fundraises to help with costs associated with vetting, domesticating, feeding and housing our rescues.

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 youโ€™ve shown us throughout the year - whether youโ€™ve donated, volunteered, fostered, or shared our posts, youโ€™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.

Itโ€™s rare for us to have three kittens adopted at once, but when it happens, itโ€™s nothing short of magical. We couldnโ€™t be more grateful to Ebbs, Elgin, and Elliottโ€™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 โ€“ 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 arenโ€™t any closer to reaching our $250 donation matching goal and Christmas is just around the corner. But thereโ€™s still time and weโ€™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 youโ€™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.

Donโ€™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, weโ€™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.

Weโ€™re always looking for additional empty drop off locations and volunteers to pick up and return empties. If youโ€™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, sheโ€™ll melt your heart with her gentle purrs and affectionate nature. When sheโ€™s not curled up for a nap or by the window watching Cat TV, youโ€™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 youโ€™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 canโ€™t do it without your support.

On the final day of our campaign, weโ€™re asking you to help us spread the message .

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

๐Ÿพ ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ฒ: by adopting, youโ€™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.
๐Ÿพ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป: every year, millions of animals are euthanized due to overpopulation. By adopting, youโ€™re helping to break the cycle and support responsible pet ownership.
๐Ÿพ ๐—–๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ: 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.
๐Ÿพ ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜๐—ต & ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜: rescues provide medical care, temperament assessments, and behavioural training to ensure a pet is ready for their new home.
๐Ÿพ ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐—ฎ ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฑ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ: by adopting youโ€™re helping to end the demand for puppy mills and unethical breeding practices that prioritize profit over animal welfare.
๐Ÿพ ๐—จ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ: although rescues may have a had a difficult past, theyโ€™re often some of the most grateful and loyal companions you can find.

If youโ€™re considering adding a four legged friend to your family, adopt, donโ€™t shop!

5 of our , and today weโ€™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 sheโ€™s not a fan of human touch, she loves indoor living and is ready to spend her golden years in comfort. Now, weโ€™re on the hunt for a compassionate and patient adopter to give this special girl the cozy, loving home she deserves.

Our Story

Founded in 2013, The Avery Foundation (TAF) is a non-profit animal rescue managed by a network of coordinators, volunteers, and carefully selected foster families. We are a small group of animal advocates working to change the lives of homeless animals.

Our mission is to help abandoned and vulnerable animals through foster care, rehabilitation, and adoption; to guide potential adopters in finding the best fit for their family; and to promote responsible pet ownership through humane education: specifically of the importance of routine veterinary care, spay/neutering and enrichment - ultimately creating a happy and healthy life for as many animals as possible.

Our volunteers work diligently to raise funds for the animals through events and fundraisers, with every dollar going towards medical bills, food, and supplies.
