Critter Jungle and The Big House Cat Sanctuary are back again with another Biggie's Boost, but this time Biggie is sharing the spotlight with the Sanctuary's latest addition:

🧡 Dolly! 🧡

If you've not heard her story already, we won't lie to you, it's heartbreaking. She's clearly had a challenging life until now and the challenges don't stop now that she's joined the Sanctuary. She's getting love, attention, veterinary care and is making great progress, but for an animal this obese... recovery isn't an overnight thing.

She is a resource intensive addition to the Sanctuary and the folks at The Big House Cat Sanctuary can use all the help they can get to support her. If you're able to, we have a wishlist already set up for you to shop and treat Dolly to some of her faves!

https://www.critterjungle.com/.../the-big-house-cat.../

All products purchased will go directly to the Sanctuary for Dolly and her fellow Big Cats - plus you'll be supporting a local, family owned business at the same time!

If you're not in the position to make a donation, no worries! We SO understand. Likes, shares and comments are just as helpful to get information out there!

(If you do make a wishlist purchase, take a look at the checkout information in comments!)

Attention to all interested in our Beardie Costume Bash!!

Unfortunately this event had to be cancelled due to sudden, unforeseen circumstances. Apologies for the inconvenience to those who were planning to attend!

We may try to book a separate beardie/reptile event to replace it, but this Halloween event is cancelled. Sorry about that and thanks for the understanding!

10/28/2026

Thank you to everyone who purchased or dropped off goods for our friends at Riverview Rescues / in support of this month's Rescue Initiative: Support the Riverview Crew!

Their wishlist remains active on our website (see the link below), so you can shop their most requested items there all month long, but we will feature them again in December!

We're grateful for all the support and to the team at Riverview Rescues for working with us! Happy to help and get food/supplies to the animals who need it!

Until next time - thank you again!

If you’ve stopped by the Orleans store recently, you may have noticed our new pop up gallery promoting our first (hopefully of many!) Local Feature coming to the ORLEANS store in just under two weeks.

Local oil and ceramic artist Franciscus Van Boxtel will be in our store from 11am to 3pm on Saturday, November 7th!

Immensely talented and guided by a big heart, Frank has created incredible portraits and ceramic pieces for pet lovers across the city (and beyond!).

If you’re on the hunt for a holiday gift for the pet person in your life, a commission by Frank would be a no-brainer!

It’s go time!!!

The Ottawa Pet Expo is happening today and tomorrow at the Cohere Centre and your favourite, neighbourhood pet store is there with lots to show you!

The team spent all day yesterday setting up the booth and, as the photos might suggest, is ready to have some fun!

Hope to see you there! Swing by and say hello 👋

10/23/2026

Set up for the Ottawa Pet Expo is officially underway! 👏 There’s a bit more (see: a lot more) not pictured here that we have packed and on its way to the centre.

We’re super excited for the expo! We have lots of cool products for you, some savings, interesting critters, and even a couple of booth activities to participate in!

If you don’t have plans for the weekend - or if you do and you can squeeze it in! - stop by the Cohere Centre on 4899 Uplands Drive (previously known as the EY Centre) to join in on the fun!!🤩

🐾 ATTENTION ALL PET EXPO ATTENDEES 🐾

Meet the brand new item we'll be showcasing at ...
Dog's Crush Enrichment feeders!

These super cool enrichment 3-in-1 bowls are (firstly) very pretty, but also very helpful!

3-in-1!
🍋 slow, enrichment feeder
🍉 lick mat on the bottom
🥝 freezable treat mould

They come in three sizes and TONS of colours (even some upcoming holiday styles 👀), so there is an option for everyone. Even cats!

We're really excited to have these in the shop, but Pet Expo attendees get first dibs!
