💙 A Heartfelt Thank You to the Eric S. Margolis Foundation 💙
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the Eric S. Margolis Foundation for their incredibly generous contribution toward our spay, neuter, and wellness efforts in the community of Cat Lake.
It is through the generosity of wonderful organizations like the Eric S. Margolis Foundation that we are able to make a meaningful difference for the dogs and cats of the community. Their support helps us address population concerns while providing essential vaccinations and wellness care to help keep the animal population healthier.
Because of the support we received, we were able to accomplish so much in Cat Lake, including:
🐾 31 dogs spayed
🐾 20 dogs neutered
🐾 65 wellness appointments completed
These numbers represent more than just procedures—they represent healthier animals, fewer unwanted litters, and a stronger, healthier community.
We truly could not do this work without the support of generous donors and organizations who believe in what we are doing. Every donation goes directly toward helping the dogs and cats who need us.
From all of us and, most importantly, from all the four-legged friends whose lives have been touched by this support—thank you, Eric S. Margolis Foundation, for helping us make a difference. 🐾❤️

🐾 A HUGE Thank You to Paws Across the Water! 🐾
We want to send a heartfelt thank you to Paws Across the Water for their incredibly generous donations towards our 2026 Round Lake Clinic. ❤️

Thanks to their support, our clinic was a tremendous success! Over 4½ days, we were able to care for an amazing 206 animals, providing spays, neuters, and wellness care.

Your generosity directly helps improve the health and well-being of animals in our communities and makes a lasting difference for both pets and their families.

From all of us — the community of Round Lake and especially the animals who received care — THANK YOU, Paws Across the Water! 🐾❤️

We are so grateful for your support and for helping us make the 2026 Round Lake Clinic such a success!

In December 2025, Hands to Paws North was contacted by a remote northern community in need of pet food for the free-roaming dogs in their community. Cat Lake Friends of Animush has partnered with Hands to Paws on occasion, and they reached out to us to see if we could help source pet food and find a way to transport it to Thunder Bay and ultimately into the community.
This was not the first time we had responded to the needs of remote northern communities. Prior to the call-out surrounding the extreme wildfires, we were able to ship pet food into several communities that were anticipating evacuation. The goal was to ensure that food would be available for the animals left behind and for those community members who remained to care for them.

One of our Cat Lake Friends of Animush members took on the challenge of raising enough funds to purchase and transport 1,600 pounds of pet food. Thanks to their incredible efforts and the generosity of those who supported them, that food has now been shipped into a community in need.

We continue to source pet food and look for ways to support remote northern communities. The need remains ongoing, and we are committed to helping provide food and support for animals whose communities face limited access to these essential resources.

Every bag of food makes a difference, and every contribution helps us reach another community in need.

Thank you so much to Pam who stopped by on behalf of Cat Lake Friends of Animush & Hands To Paws North. Pam stopped by bringing 3 full carts filled with bags of dog food for us to distribute to our patrons with furry friends. We are thankful to be able to help support those with pets by providing dog/cat food. Thank you so much for thinking of us it is greatly appreciated.
