Before most people have finished their first cup of coffee, veterinary technicians at the Ottawa Humane Society are already helping animals who have nowhere else to turn. And no two days look the same.
By a significant margin, cats are the animals we support the most at the OHS. Last year alone, we took in more than 3,500 cats and kittens, from strays found lost and alone, to cats surrendered by people who made the heartbreaking yet compassionate decision that they could no longer care for them, to feral cats who can’t live in typical home with people.
If you’ve been thinking about joining us for the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run, this is your sign.
Online registration closes Sunday, Sept. 20. There are only a few days left to join Ottawa’s biggest event for the animals at the Ottawa Humane Society.
We’ve had a couple of months packed with fun and learning at our summer camp! More than 300 kids have spent a week at the shelter, learning about animals, how the Ottawa Humane Society supports pets and their people, careers that help pets in need and just having a good time with crafts and activities.
Since June, we have taken in an average of 21 cats daily. That’s 21 new cats who need shelter, care and love — this is alongside the dogs, small animals and wildlife who are also arriving every single day. Right now, we are providing daily shelter and care for more than 400 animals.
After launching our emergency pet food drive, donations have poured in from caring people across Ottawa. Every delivery of kibble, canned food and bag of treats represents someone saying, "We're here to help."
The challenge is fun: pick up a bingo card at any participating OHS Dog-Friendly Business, then spend the summer exploring Ottawa with your four-legged best friend.
While battling it out for their spot in the World Cup, athletes Lionel Meowssi, Cristiano Rodoggo, and Kylian Mewbappé shared an exclusive interview about an upcoming competition that may be their greatest athletic endeavour ever.
