💔 In Loving Memory of Crumpet 💔

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news that our beloved Crumpet has passed away.

Crumpet first came to SHAID in June of 2022 as part of a group of cats. At approximately five years old, unneutered, and living an indoor/outdoor life, he arrived with the scars of many battles—injuries to his head, ears, and a severe eye trauma that required surgery. But even then, despite everything he’d been through, Crumpet showed us who he truly was: gentle, affectionate, resilient, and full of love.

During his long recovery, he stole the hearts of every staff member and volunteer he met. It wasn’t long before we realized that Crumpet was more than just another shelter cat—he was the spirit of SHAID. He became our mascot, our greeter, and our soft place to land on hard days. He loved the spotlight, loved the visitors, loved the cuddles, and gave out thousands of head bops that brightened countless lives.

For three beautiful years, Crumpet lived as a cherished member of the SHAID family. Every night he went home with our staff member Jennifer and her family, who gave him all the comfort and love he deserved. He attended events, met thousands of people, and spread joy wherever he went.

On Friday night, Crumpet suddenly became unwell—disoriented, unable to use his hind legs, and struggling to breathe. Thankfully, Jen was right beside him and contacted Coastal Veterinary Clinic. He was rushed to Coastal Care Emergency, where he received urgent treatment.

Crumpet was diagnosed with a saddle thrombus, a blood clot affecting his back legs, and later a pulmonary embolism, both caused by an underlying heart condition. Despite IV fluids, oxygen therapy, pain management, and anti-clotting medications, he showed no improvement. After thorough discussions with the veterinary team, and facing the reality of a terminal prognosis, the heartbreaking decision was made to let him go peacefully.

Crumpet was so much more than a cat.�He was our glue, our ambassador, the heart and face of SHAID.

We are devastated, but also deeply grateful—for every cuddle, every head bop, and every moment he shared with us. Crumpet’s legacy of love will live on in everyone who had the privilege of meeting him.

Run free, sweet boy.

Thank you for everything. 💛

Our Story

We are located at: 950 Mullock Rd in Whynotts Settlement, just outside of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. We are open daily from 11am-3pm for drop-offs, pick-ups, donations, and applications. We have a new adoption process! Please download an application from our website, www.shaidanimalshelter.com under the ‘adoptions’ tab and we will contact you with an appointment if the pet is still available to meet.

We rely 100% on community support, and are always appreciative of monetary donations, and donations of non-clumping litter or wood pellets, canned cat food, vinyl gloves, dry kitten food, laundry detergent, and clean towels.

Follow our page to see available pets, awesome community supported fundraisers and donations, educational posts, and to get to know our little shelter.
