A 'perfect storm' that's brewing across the country. Animal shelters are overcapacity and in crisis, with some on the verge of closing their doors for good.

Fueling the crisis is a complicated host of issues. The type of animals arriving at shelters has changed, there’s a vet shortage and the cost of living has skyrocketed. It’s left shelters operating at capacity, with growing waitlists to bring animals in.

The award-winning journalist Holly Lake takes a closer look at the crisis and what you need to know about it in our latest article.

If you see an injured turtle in Ontario, even if you are travelling, please retrieve the turtle and don’t leave it to suffer, make note of the exact location and call the Ontario turtle conservation centre (home of Ontario’s turtle hospital) at 705-741-5000. If you are in the Highlands, you can also text us immediately at 705-854-2888. We each have teams of volunteers that can meet you wherever you are in Ontario and get the turtle to the hospital. Leaving the turtle often results in a needless death of a sacred soul.

You should never kid nap kittens without checking for mom. Another important message, so spread the word. To all those owners with pregnant moms and babies contact someone for help. Giving away free kittens, not vet checked or fixed is not a good thing.
