Notice for public safety & a shelter update.

04/08/2025

UPDATE: WE WERE LIED TO!
The nice lady that said she found this cat, was in fact the owner. This cat's name is Lady. She is 9 years old and has lived with this woman for some time. Apparently, the family wanted to surrender this cat because they felt she was no longer a good fit for the grandmother. The same lady who wasted the operation managers time, by requesting a house call for her inability to drive. You then lied to her face and said you wanted a kitten. Shame on you! We are happy to assist but telling the truth is the right thing to do.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE ME?

Currently on a 4 Day Hold and safely in the care of Animal Aide of St. Thomas Elgin. A kind individual took this cat in, when she was observed for several days taking shelter underneath and eating garbage from a local dumpster. Found near the intersection of Talbot and Flora Street in St. Thomas. Calico female scanned negative for a microchip.

Proof of ownership is required to claim. For more information, please contact the Animal Aide Centre at (519)633-3788.

Animal Aide St. Thomas Elgin has been a valued member of the community for 31 years. Our cats are family and treated as such from the moment they come through the front door. They are spoiled, loved, and treated medically for whatever ails them. They are provided with the best food we can offer, sometimes very expensive food if that is what is best for them. We love them as if they were our own personal pets and do our very best to see that they continue to be loved in their new homes as much as we love them in the shelter. We are happy for them when they find their forever home but always wonder how they are. That is what rescue should be all about...doing what's best for the cats in our care and love them for the rest of their lives whether that be with us as a NO-KILL shelter or in their new homes.

THE MAN THE MYTH THE FELINE RESCUING LEGEND

Dave Lindsay makes the world a far better place because he is in it. What started as a volunteer role coming in 1 morning a week here at Animal Aide, became so much more. Dave now holds the title of morning supervisor, medicine man, Papa Dave and friend to all of the felines. He can be seen at the shelter just about every day. Though he has a rough outer shell, he truly is the kindest hearted person you will ever have the privilege to meet. There is not a cat that he cannot befriend or tame. He inspires others to realize that every cat deserves the very best chance at rescue and being placed in a loving home.

Dave your birthday is a reminder of how lucky we are to have you in all of our lives. On your birthday, we want to thank you for the countless adventures, memories, and laughter you have shared with all of us here. From everyone at Animal Aide, we hope that you have an amazing birthday!
