The queen, Miss Amelia is still looking for her fur-ever home. Being the queen she is, she’s very particular about the home she resides in. She needs a nice quiet, calm home where she’s the centre of someone’s world. ie no other cats or dogs or children 👑 If you know someone looking for this type of companionship, please share with them this beautiful kitty.

Some behind the scenes snapshots of Dr. Heidi Hendrickson of Harbour Vet examining today’s trio of surrenders. Her compassionate approach to these scared little guys was evident in all she did. They were weighed, had their microchips scanned, mouths and bodies examined, and hearts checked. We are so grateful to work with such a knowledgeable and compassionate veterinarian 🩷🐾

Wow everybody, you really came through for these puppies!🥰 in just one evening our incredible community came together and met the fundraising goal to get these babies out of the snow ~ so now the logistics planning begins! Multiple volunteers and rescue agencies are going to be working together to get to the remote location and get these babies south so they can hop on a plane our way! We promise to keep you updated along the journey with us, and will post pics as soon as we've got them safe!

🚨 Emergency Rescue: 3 tiny puppies freezing in the Far North — we need to move NOW 🚨

Three tiny puppies have been found living out of a shed in freezing temperatures in a remote northern community. Local rescues are at critical capacity, and there isn’t a safe place for them to wait.

This is not something we do often, but we’re asking our IBKC community to rally for a specific, urgent rescue—because the next step is entirely dependent on one thing: we can’t pull them out of the cold until transport funds are secured.

This isn’t a “wait for the right timing” situation, these puppies don’t have shelter or a warm place to hold them. We can’t rely on a flight angel timeline, so we need to ship them by cargo immediately, which costs more than adding them to a passenger ticket. Getting them to safety requires a coordinated effort between multiple agencies and volunteers, including someone traveling to physically get them out of the snow.

We’re trying to raise $650 total to cover:
✈️ Cargo flights to bring them to us ASAP
🧤 Travel + supplies for the volunteer rescue effort (the person who will go get them)

How you can help
If you’re able, please donate today—even $10–$25 helps when lots of people jump in.
Ways to donate:
• E-transfer: [email protected]
• Donate online: https://ibkc.ca/donate-today/

If you can’t donate, sharing this post helps us just as much—we’re racing the weather and the clock.

🖤 Thank you for being the kind of community that shows up when it matters most. We’ll post updates as soon as we can move them into safety.

Next up, meet Margo 😍 This special girl is the biggest love. She wouldn’t let me into her enclosure to feed her without providing several minutes of scratches first. Fun fact: Margo gives excellent hugs.

DOG + PUPPY SUPPLIES NEEDED 🐶🧡

We’ve got puppies in care and we’re burning through basics fast. If you’re able to help, we’re currently in big need of:
✅️ Fillable Kong treat holders
✅ Bully sticks (and other long-lasting chews)
✅ Toppls (West Paw style treat toys)
✅ Chew toys (durable, puppy-safe)
✅ Puppy pads

Even one item makes a difference — these supplies help keep pups busy, calm, and comfortable while they decompress and learn the ropes in foster care.

And YES we can take gently used items! 💙

Ways to help:
• Drop-off: Harbour Veterinary Clinic / IBKC – 811 Bay Street, Victoria
• Order online: https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/22M9X1PRCIQI3?ref_=wl_share
• Send a cash donation (we’ll shop what’s needed most): https://ibkc.ca/donate-today/
• E-transfer: [email protected]

Thank you for keeping these little guys supported while they wait for their forever homes. 🐾💛

Meet Miss Amelia! She’s a sweet purebred American Curl kitty who needs a new home by now fault of her own (her owner was moved into long-term care)
Miss Amelia is a shy girlie but it only took about two minutes to coax her out of hiding for some head scratches and some yummy treats. Let’s work together to find this sweetheart a fur-ever home 🩷🐾

Big thanks to Canadian Wings of Rescue for making this last 2025 transport happen — and to everyone who touched this rescue along the way. 💛
These six Saskatchewan puppies didn’t get here by luck. They got here because of a chain of people and organizations working together: the finder, temporary caregivers, vet teams, drivers, coordinators, pilots— and our friends at Northern Pup Project who led the effort on the ground.

This is why inter-rescue partnerships matter: when one community is out of options, another can step in — and together, we close the gap.

These babies are settling in with us now and will be available for adoption soon. Keep an eye on our page for updates. 🐾

This distinguished gentleman with the most handsome bowtie moustache didn’t find his fur-ever home for the holidays. He’s such a sweet and friendly guy, we know someone in our community can help him find him a home 🩷 please enjoy these videos of Mistletoe 🐾

We’re urgently looking for Flight Angels traveling DIRECT to Victoria (YYJ) from:
Saskatchewan • Alberta • Northwest Territories • Fort St. John

A Flight Angel is simply someone already flying who’s willing to let us add a puppy to their booking so that puppy can travel safely to rescue.

We will:
Cover the cost of adding the puppy
Handle the crate + paperwork
Coordinate drop-off at departure + pick-up in Victoria
Walk you through it so it’s easy and smooth

These flights are one of the most impactful ways we can move animals out of areas where the situation is even more urgent than what we’re seeing here.

Not traveling? You can still help hugely by sharing this post or tagging friends/family who might be flying this route soon.

📩 Send us a message with your travel date, airline, departure city, and confirm it’s direct to Victoria.

✨ 2025 BY THE NUMBERS — AND BY THE HEART ✨

As the year comes to a close, we want to pause and reflect on what this community made possible. None of this happens without our supporters, fosters, adopters, volunteers, donors, veterinarians, and staff. 💙

🐾 Rescue Impact
• 737 cats, kittens, and dogs taken into care
• 555 lives changed through adoption
– 549 cats & kittens
– 6 puppies
• 109 feral cats safely trapped, fixed, and returned
• 25 “oops” mama cats spayed and returned to prevent future litters

🏥 Access to Veterinary Care
• 10 cats enrolled in our Hearts at Home subsidized veterinary program
→ a $7,500 pledge toward keeping beloved pets healthy and at home
• 160 low-income spay & neuter vouchers issued
→ $18,750 pledged toward the cost of surgery
• $7,500 under our original program
• $11,250 under our expanded program

🔧 Surgeries Since We Started
• 185 dog spay/neuters
• 3,554 cat spay/neuters
• 28 additional life-saving surgeries
(pyometra, enucleations, and more)

These numbers represent real animals, real families, and real futures changed. They represent fewer animals suffering, fewer unwanted litters, and more pets staying where they belong — at home and loved.

From the bottom of our hearts: thank you for being part of this work.
Here’s to an even bigger impact in the year ahead. 🐶🐱💙
