A Whisker Away Professional Feline Grooming and Pet Sitting I was born in Bowness, Calgary and my family moved to Cochrane in 1984 when the population was less than 4,000!
(22)

It was an ideal place to grow up and after a few moves and some eye-opening world travel, I am once again a Cochranite, although the town is much different than when I first moved into Calgary almost fifteen years ago. I am a self-admitted crazy cat lady and an all-around animal nut through and through. My life has been filled with critters of all kinds; from many types of domestic pets to a wide

variety of farm animals, as well as wild and semi-wild animals. I can't imagine it any other way. I am certified in pet first aid and worked for years in veterinary hospitals, both family and emergency. I look forward to adding your furry, feathery and scaley family members to my extended critter family. Contact me today to arrange a meet and greet with you and your pets!

Paddy the polydactyl (look at all those toes!) is usually very shy and sticks to her hiding spots but today she decided to hang out for cuddles.🥰 I love this sweet girl so much!💕🐾💕

Let’s turn this boy’s tears into tears of joy! Do you have a spot in your family for sweet Edward?💕🐾💕

We need your help to find Edward a home! 🏠

Edward has been in our care since January and we can’t believe he hasn’t been adopted. He is a super friendly and social kitty who loves his people!

Edward is looking for a home without other cats or dogs as he prefers to have the attention to himself. This curious and active boy will fill your days with laughter, and he may enjoy some outdoor time in his new home as well. He is currently having a well-deserved break in foster care, so contact our Adoption Team at 403-932-2072 ext 113 to arrange a meet!

Please like and share this post to help Edward find a home! 🐾

Captain Paul Watson, a renowned anti-whaling activist, is currently detained in Nuuk, Greenland, facing potential extradition to Japan on an international arrest warrant. His lifelong dedication to defending marine wildlife and exposing illegal whaling practices is now under threat. Extraditing Paul to Japan, where he faces a harsh justice system, would jeopardize his safety and send a chilling message to environmental activists worldwide. Defend Paul Watson and help end whaling globally.

Captain Paul Watson UK needs your help to win their campaign!

Look at this sweet little face! Adopting a senior cat is one of the most selfless and rewarding things a pet guardian can do. Go meet Flirt at the Cochrane & Area Humane Society today!

Did you know that our sweet senior girl Flirt has been awaiting adoption for a year and a half ?! She is the most friendly and affectionate cat who is so deserving of love. No senior should have to wait this long to find their forever home! 😭

Please share to help us find Flirt her forever home. ❤️

Just look at this sweet boy’s face! Might you have a spot in your heart and home for Meru?
💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕

Meru arrived as a very scared cat who didn’t have much experience around people. Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers and his foster mom, Meru’s confidence grew and he discovered that he enjoyed the indoor life. This gentle soul is patiently waiting for a quiet home where he can continue to blossom!

Crispy will have you head-over-heels in love as soon as you meet him! Not only is he super handsome with his unique coat colour, he is also very social and friendly. Crispy loves to explore and is always busily checking out the goings on at the shelter. There's no doubt this awesome kitty is going to make a great addition to any home!

My Story

I was born in Bowness, Calgary and my family moved to Cochrane in 1984 when the population was less than 4,000! It was an ideal place to grow up and after a few moves and some eye-opening world travel, I am once again a Cochranite, although the town is much different than when I first moved into Calgary almost fifteen years ago.

I am certified in pet first aid and worked for years in veterinary hospitals, both family and emergency. Currently you can often find me caring for pets in their own homes all over Cochrane and grooming felines out of my home salon. I look forward to adding your furry, feathery and scaley family members to my extended critter family. Contact me today to arrange a meet and greet with you and your pets!
