🚨 The Final Countdown: Only 3 Days Left!

There are just 3 days left before our 50/50 closes—and this draw is more than a fundraiser. It’s what keeps us able to respond when animals in our community have no one else.

In the last few weeks alone, we’ve:
🐾 Taken in entire litters of abandoned kittens, many sick and in need of round-the-clock care
🐾 Fixed dozens of stray community cats to stop the endless cycle of suffering
🐾 Helped families who couldn’t afford vet bills keep their beloved pets healthy and at home

This kind of work doesn’t happen without community backing. We’re a nonprofit, locally run, and every dollar raised goes straight back into spay/neuter, rescue, and accessible veterinary care right here on Vancouver Island.

Your ticket not only gives you the chance to win big, it fuels the surgeries, the medicine, and the hands-on care that save lives every single day. The pot grows with every entry—so the sooner you buy, the bigger the impact.

🌟 Just 7 days left! 🌟
Our 50/50 is counting down, and this is our chance to make the pot bigger than ever! Every ticket purchased adds to the total — meaning a larger prize for the winner and more lifesaving support for the cats and kittens who need us most. 🐾

Imagine the impact if everyone in our community bought just a few tickets this week — together we could grow the jackpot and give hundreds of animals the medical care, food, and shelter they rely on. 💕

Don’t wait — let’s grow this together! Grab your tickets today and help us finish strong.

🌟 Introducing Harbour Vet Heros 🌟
At Harbour Veterinary Clinic and The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee, we meet animals every day who inspire us with their resilience, courage, and spirit. That’s why we’re launching a new series: Harbour Vet Heros — spotlighting incredible patients who have faced extraordinary challenges and remind us what true strength looks like.

Our very first feature is Monet, a sweet mama cat whose gentle presence has touched everyone at our clinic. Despite the hardships she has endured, Monet radiates love and trust. She’s now living with kidney failure, and while her time may be limited, her story is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do: every animal deserves comfort, dignity, and love — no matter how much time they have left. 💕

This series will celebrate patients like Monet who teach us about perseverance and hope. We can’t wait to share more of their journeys with you.

🐾 Meet Mama Zar and Her Oops Kittens! 🐾

Sometimes life brings little surprises — like this beautiful mama cat and her adorable litter of SEVEN kittens. 💕 Zar has been the BEST mom, taking amazing care of her babies.

A huge thank-you to their human mom for trusting us to care for this sweet family. Once the kittens are big and strong enough, they’ll be looking for their forever homes. 🏡✨

And Mama Zar? She’ll soon be spayed and ready to live her best, carefree, kitten-free life back with the family that she loves. 😻

🎥 BIG UPDATE! 🎥

It’s been a while since we’ve shared a full update, so we made this video to catch you up on everything happening with IBKC. In it, you’ll meet some of our rare-colour “Oops Program” kittens 🐾 and hear about all the big changes we’ve been working on:

✨ We’ve rebranded from the Spay & Neuter Cruiser to Harbour Veterinary Clinic
✨ We’re now a locally owned, full service, low-cost vet clinic for both cats and dogs
✨ We’ve opened a huge adoption center in our new location
✨ And we currently have hundreds of kittens in care who need fosters, adopters, and volunteers

When you bring your pets to Harbour Vet, you’re not only getting compassionate, affordable care — you’re also supporting local rescue and helping animals just like the kittens in this video. ❤️

I know I was overwhelmed with 2 kids at home. Imagine how Mama Opal feels with 7! But she's a great mama and raising her babies with grace and style. And the whole family is hanging out with our foster Kelsey (thank you!) till they grow and are ready for adoption.

This is another example of the overpopulation crisis we are facing. A lovely community member surrendered this family because mama continued to breed over and over and they had no more friends to give the kittens away to.

Thankfully the cycle will stop with us and all of these kittens and the mama will be fixed when old enough. Please remember to spay or neuter your pets! If cost is a barrier, we have our low cost veterinary clinic (www.harbourvet.ca).

Well... we have an update on Monet. She's doing a lot better and we have her on a pretty good routine. Unfortunately she's in kidney failure. This means she only has 1 year or so left to live (which is so sad because she's young).

But she's the sweetest girl and we hope she can live out the rest of her life in peace with sunshine and love.

We are actively looking for a foster who will take her into their home for as long as she has. The only thing the foster needs to do is give her fluids once a day and feed a special diet.

If you are able to help with the cost of her care we've included ways to donate. If you are not in place to donate you can help us by sharing this post.

Here is one of our alumni that was adopted out between Christmas and New Year’s. Duchess is now celebrating her first birthday. What a beauty she turned out to be.
