UPDATE: E-Transfers can be sent directly to the sanctuary

Our hearts are incredibly heavy as we share the news that a devastating fire occurred at Happy Days Sanctuary, a local safe haven here in Stevensville for so many cats in ours and surrounding communities. Sadly, many cats perished in the fire, and the sanctuary has suffered extensive damage.

We are accepting any and all donations to help them rebuild and care for the surviving cats and animals. We have reached out to see what is needed, and the request has been the following: DRY CAT FOOD and CLUMPING CAT LITTER are the most needed items currently, as well as FRISKIES CANNED food. They DO NOT need blankets or towels at this time.

With the main building at the sanctuary now unusable due to fire damage, finances will be the bulk of what is needed to keep things going. Whether you can spare some change to help cover emergency vet bills, or donate a larger amount, every bit makes a difference. We understand and appreciate that this is a tough time of year for donations, and we completely respect that. Anything you’re able to give, no matter how small is truly appreciated. Donations can be dropped off either directly at Happy Days Sanctuary or here at our clinic. We can also arrange for an e-transfer email to collect donations here.

We have seen this community come together in the past to help each other, and I’m hoping that we can do that again, as this is a devastating loss to the cat rescue community which is already struggling. Thank you in advance for your generosity, and love for the animals who depend on all of us for a warm place to go with the temperatures dropping.

❄ 🐕 Are you enjoying mild weather dog walking instead of shoveling snow? 🐕 ❄

Ticks might be too!

Milder winters (those with days above 0°C) have increased the geographic range of ticks and the length of tick season in Canada. 🗺 📈 📆

Put protecting your pet on your winter To-Do list, and talk to
us about the tick preventatives available for your pet.

Period.

When you own a dog, regardless of size, breed or temperament, it’s your responsibility to keep everyone around you safe.

This includes your vet.

This is my dog Roy. He is my absolute world and I love him and would do anything for him. He’s an incredible pet to our family and a small circle of people that he’s chosen.

He’s also a prick to people he has no relationships with. Before me he had a bite hitory and he is absolutely capable of still doing it at 11.5 years of age. He’s got terrible genetics and very thin nerves.

Yesterday he needed vet care.

You know what I did?

✅ I checked reception before I walked in to ensure nobody was in our path.

✅ I had him on a short lead under physical and verbal control.

✅ I kept both of us away from the doorway until we were called in, while keeping an eye out for unexpected people ready to move if needed.

✅ I restrained him appropriately while the vets and nurses did their thing and reassured them that they would be safe not only with my words but with my actions.

✅ I didn’t get offended at their requests around safety or his cage label.

In short, I did everything in my power to help the vets and nurses do what they needed to do safely and go home in one piece.

It bugs me intensely when I see people endangering professionals who are there to help them. Your vet clinic shouldnt end up with staff at the ED because you dont believe in muzzles, restraint or responsible dog handling.

When you own a dog, you have a duty of care to ensure they do not cause damage to other people in EVERY environment and situation. You dont get to pass off responsibility.

If you have a dog who has social issues, thats ok.
Just make sure you keep your community safe 🫶

🌸 A Little Note from Our Clinic 🌸

We have some exciting news — one of our amazing team members is off on a brand-new adventure: maternity leave! 🍼💕

While we’re overjoyed for her, we’re also adjusting to life with one less set of helping hands around the clinic. During this transition, we truly appreciate your patience and kindness as we find our new rhythm.

Thank you for sticking with us, cheering us on, and being the wonderful clients you are. Your understanding means the world! 💖

Thank you from our Clinic Family 🐾
