June 16, 2014- The month of June not only brings sunshine and summertime but it also raises awareness for shelter cats and celebrates our animal companions- living and dead.
June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month from the ASPCA and Adopt a Cat Month from the American Humane Association. It is intended to raise awareness about the joy of rescuing a cat from a shelter. There are so many loving, affectionate cats in shelters right now just waiting to find a forever home. The ages range from kitten to senior and the breeds are plenty. It’s hard not to find the perfect feline friend in one of the many shelters out there. Giving a senior cat a second chance or bringing home a kitten that was separated from its mother in the wild is an amazing feeling.
February has nothing but love for pets: celebrate these animal-themed holidays

February is here and it’s time to take inventory of our
lives, celebrate love and warm the frost away in time for spring. February
is always a busy time so it’s fitting that the month would be overflowing with
pet-themed holidays and awareness weeks.
The month of February is dedicated to many furry friends.
Not only is it National Pet Dental
Health Month but it is also Responsible
Pet Owners Month, Responsible Animal
Guardian Month and National Prevent
a Litter Month. If that’s not enough love for the animal kingdom then wait-
there’s more! February is also the ASPCA’s Adopt
a Rescued Rabbit Month and the Humane Society of the United States Spay/Neuter Awareness Month.

Meet Little Willy! Willy is one on the many pets that
have been fortunate enough to be rescued by the Valley Animal Rescue in Renfrew County, Ontario.
Willy, like so many other dogs and cats being fostered through this organization, is
in need of a loving forever home with caring and patient people who can tend to his needs.
Valley Animal Rescue- or VAR- is a registered charity
organization that relies solely on foster parents for the animals they take in.
They run off of the donations and support of their community and local animal
lovers. But unlike some of the other wider known animal shelters or rescue
organizations that have more funding, VAR has to do quite a bit of the legwork. VAR has a network of community members who put in time for these animals without any pay- just the reward of giving a helping hand and a temporary home. Since it’s a foster run charity 100% of all donations go to the
animals.
