Have you been needing to take your pet in for a visit with the veterinarian but holding off? We are now accepting limited appointments at our new clinic location of 811 Bay Street for general exams. You can book an appointment online.

Now that we have moved to 811 Bay street we are starting to open up for general exams. We are starting with a limited day on Monday, July 14th. Our Veterinarian will be able to see you and your pet (dog or cat), give vaccines if needed and prescribe medications if required.

🚨 We Need Your Help! 🐾

Kitten season is in full swing, and we are desperately in need of volunteers to help care for the dozens of tiny lives depending on us at the shelter. It’s just a couple of us trying to feed, clean, weigh, cuddle, and socialize them all—while also getting the new clinic up and running.

✨ Whether you’re a teen looking for meaningful volunteer experience, a retired animal lover with time to spare, or someone simply wanting to give back to the world—we’d love to have you join our team. This is your chance to see the real, behind-the-scenes work of animal rescue. It’s messy, it’s rewarding, and yes—there will be kittens. Help is needed 7 days a week!

📍 Shelter is located at 811 Bay Street, Victoria
📲 Join our volunteer group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3744747095754152/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT

Bring your heart, your hands, and a willingness to scoop some litter boxes—the kittens are waiting. 💕🐱

We are getting so close to opening our new veterinary clinic that will offer low cost options for dog owners too.

But we need some help moving some big heavy items. We need to move some items from the royal oak area to Bay Street asap.

And then we will need help moving items from the old clinic to the new clinic this weekend.

Is there anyone in Facebook land that can help us?

Let’s have a conversation about the state of animal welfare today.

Kitten pictures are cute and all but there are real lives behind all of the work we do.

Without resources things get very bad very fast for these animals.

This is Josie. She is a friendly community cat picked up by a shelter in California at 8 weeks old. They spayed her and tipped her ear and were going to release her back outside. The reality for her was that she would have been a baby living outside fending for herself. Her life expectancy would be 4 years and when she did pass it would be because of disease or injury.

But the shelter is not the problem. They are doing the best they can with the resources they have. They legitimately have no room for her and if they didn’t do this then they can’t do anything for her. At least she would have been spayed so she didn’t make more babies.

The problem is us. As a society we don’t invest enough to help these animals that are here find a home and we sure don’t invest enough to help spay and neuter so more don’t continue to come.

Luckily for Josie we have a contact and were in a position to transfer her up to Victoria to find a forever home. So she will get a family instead of having to live outside alone without a family or support system.

This is why all reputable rescues will work so hard to spay and neuter.

It cost is a barrier to getting your cat fixed remember The Spay and Neuter Cruiser. A spay is only $275 (plus tax).

If you want to support our work you can buy a raffle ticket. https://www.rafflebox.ca/raffle/ibkc
