River (A219032), a stray cat rescued last week is recovering at the OHS after he was found on the Rideau River clinging to life. With last week’s bone chilling temperatures, stray animals and pets left outside were at risk of freezing or endangering their lives when seeking warmth.
The extreme cold forecast for the city means pets left outside too long risk frostbite and even death without shelter from the frigid weather. Cold weather can be as dangerous for animals as it is people.
The Ottawa Humane Society is turning Blue Monday into the happiest day of the year! On January 21, local businesses will take a “PAWS” in their work day for some canine and feline cuddles with an OHS animal visit.
PAWS 4 Wellness is a workplace charitable campaign where local companies raise a minimum of $1,000 to help Ottawa’s animals.
