Have We Seen Your Cat Lately?
On average, cats visit the veterinarian less than half as often as dogs. The assumption that cats don't require the same care or don't get ill as often as dogs just isn't true. And while indoor only cats are generally at a lower risk of injury or contagious illness, they are still at risk of general physical ailments such as dental pain and arthritis as much as they are at risk of developing age related illnesses including kidney disease or hyperthyroidism. Even if your cat seems fine to you, they are skilled at hiding illness that even the most observant family member may not see as a sign of concern. Early intervention is the key when it comes to the health, happiness and longevity of our feline friends. This is achieved by annual physical examinations with appropriate vaccinations as suggested by your veterinarian. |

The National Wildlife Centre is a non-profit charitable organization, serving to protect ecosystems, populations of wild animals and the health of individual animals. We do this through educating the public, creating collaborative opportunities for scientists and rehabilitators and by providing training to students, veterinarians, rehabilitators and the public.
We are fundraising to construct a new state-of-the-art facility in Caledon, Ontario. This will provide more care to a larger number of wildlife, and allow us to take on additional students for training in wildlife medicine, surgery and rehabilitation.
Donations will allow us to perform life-saving orthopedic surgeries, as well as providing medications, diagnostic tests and other medical care to our patients.

Fatal Light Awareness Program (FLAP) Canada is a registered Canadian charity widely recognized as the pre-eminent authority on the bird-building collision issue. Each year in Canada, around 25 million migratory birds die as a direct result of collisions with buildings. We can only expect that number to grow unless we all work together to help mitigate local biodiversity loss through urban development that considers wildlife species. For almost 30 years, FLAP Canada has engaged millions of people with dozens of campaigns and initiatives with one goal: keep birds safe from deadly collisions with buildings. Who would have thought that the song of one bird could be loud enough to change the world? Read FLAP Canada's origin story. |
