Speak Up For Paws

We’re a registered charity tackling the community cat crisis in Ottawa and surrounding areas through TNR, advocacy, and accessible spay/neuter.

Educating our neighbours, reducing suffering, and saving lives, one paw at a time. Speak up, save a life. We are 2 women dedicated to helping cats and helping others help cats. We have teamed together to empower others through education and advocacy. We don’t claim to have all the answers or even always have the right answers. We are here to have a conversation, share and learn ourselves. Our goal

is to share our knowledge and information with likeminded individuals who are also dedicated to helping cats and other animals. Although our focus is with cats we feel that all animals deserve a voice. As individuals we can make a small difference but as a community, we can create a larger impact. Sandi Lawson- Founded and operates Adopt Me Cat Rescue. Also fosters wildlife when possible. Passionate about all animals and believes they are equally deserving of love, respect and compassion. Jackie Gauthier- Founder and owner of Jackie to the rescue Passionate about rescuing always ready to go when the call comes in whether it be for a cat or a dog all the way down to a chipmunk or a bird I will be there. Speaking up for those with no voice to speak up for themselves.

Call out for anyone currently feeding a colony of cats in the Gatineau region who have asked the SPCA for help but have been turned away. Also, if you asked for help for a sick, injured or tiny kitten. This could be a current or recent event. Additionally, if you were turned away but found help elsewhere, we definitely want to know about it. We are looking for accounts of your experience that could be kept confidential or be interviewed for more media attention. We want to hold the Gatineau SPCA accountable for their lack of transparency and apparent lack of support with the ever growing cat crisis in the region.
