Founded in 1999, The Mississauga Humane Society is a non-profit, 100% VOLUNTEERS RUN, legally registered charity dedicated to the rescue of companion animals who otherwise may be killed in the many overcrowded city pounds, as well as animals scheduled to be sent for research. We also retrieve stray cats to spare them from the harsh outdoor life. All our animals are neutered/spayed after rescue, unless the animal is too young or not in good health.

The Coves is a series of 3 ponds that offer a natural refuge in the heart of London, Ontario. In 1998, two friends hiking in the Coves lamented that the ecosystem was progressively degrading. The friends wasted little time in talk and soon turned their lamentations into action. By 2000, they enlisted the support of 6 volunteer board members and established an incorporated, non-profit registered charity called the Friends of the Coves Subwatershed Inc. The Friends of the Coves immediately secured funding to create the Coves Subwatershed Plan. With extensive community consultation they identified common goals and secured widespread support for implementation of the plan. The Friends have installed a native plant butterfly garden, have naturalization projects on a former landfill site and shoreline areas, develop educational programs to promote ecologically friendly practices, and established a water quality monitoring program

Our mission at The Toronto Humane Society is to promote the humane care and protection of all animals and to prevent cruelty and suffering. The day-to-day operation of the THS involves the direct handling of lost, abandoned, unwanted and injured pets.

The Cat Action Team (CAT) is based on Prince Edward Island. It is managed and operated by a dedicated team of volunteers. CAT was incorporated in April 2001 with the primary objective of implementing a program of trapping, neutering and releasing (TNR) feral, stray and barn cats on PEI. As of December 2009, close to 6,000 cats have participated in our TNR program. After surgery the cats are released back into one of over 500 colonies, where they are housed in existing buildings or in shelters built and maintained by CAT volunteers. Here the the cats receive food and when necessary, additional medical treatment.

The Ferret Rescue & Education Society (FRES) is a non-profit, charitable organization that was started by a small group of devoted ferret owners in the Calgary area who recognized the need for a locally based rescue dedicated to ferrets. Our committed volunteers assist FRES in their goal to find permanent homes for all of the ferrets surrendered to us. They also provide shelter, basic needs, veterinary care, and if necessary, rehabilitation for all abused, unwanted, and abandoned ferrets regardless of their health status. With the rapid rise in the popularity of ferrets as pets, there is a great need for public education. While ferrets make wonderful pets, it is important that those who select them, as well as those in contact with them, have access to the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding ferrets care. FRES places a high priority on educating potential and present ferret owners as to the special needs required by these increasingly popular, but often very misun

The main focus of the Lethbridge PAW Society is the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of adult cats. Upon intake, any known medical needs are attended to including spaying and neutering. Foster families provide excellent care and closely observe their temporary guests. The more we learn about our adoption cats through the eyes of our foster families, the better able we are to match them with appropriate families. Special attention is paid to educating potential adopters about life-time commitment to their pets. The PAW Society is committed to providing kennel-free environments. The emotional well being of PAW's adoption cats is as important as their physical well being.
