Please donate here to help us pay Clinton cat's vet bills ($2,600.00 as of November 15 2012). Feral cats are not usually this healthy and well-looked after, but in Clinton BC they had a special person who dedicated herself to making sure that they received this care. She could not get financial assistance from the BC SPCA or from anyone else to help her to spay and neuter the cats until she found AAS. We were in the process of organizing to pay the bills when she had to move and leave the cats behind.

We asked Pam Albers of Paw Prints Animal Rescue, who travels BC with a van especially fitted out to do large-scale cat trapping, if she could go to Clinton and she said Yes, as she always does. So far Pam has trapped 39 adults and 14 kittens. The kittens will be rehomed by VOKRA (Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association). Animal Advocates has committed to the bills, $3,800 so far. Click on small photos to enlarge In spite of the best efforts all the many little groups, BC is still awash in excess cats and kittens both feral and domesticated. The moral duty to prevent their suffering is acted on by hundreds, possibly thousands of women in BC, quietly and without any money but their own or what they can raise at garage sales, without any help from the BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BCSPCA) which still kills too many cats and gives little help to feral cats. Animal Advocates Society of BC (AAS BC) has been paying the vet bills for these cats and women for decades, thanks to the warm-hearted generosity of our donors. You and AAS can help to stop the callous disregard for cats in BC caused by the straightforward and uncaring market force of more product than purchasers. Cat over-production is still so acceptable that without an all-out spay and neuter war, all the unremitting and heart-breaking work these devoted women do cannot stop the cycles of suffering; and there is only so much that women without the BC SPCA's $24 million financial resources can do.
