This amazing young lady came in yesterday and donated a whole lot of pennies to help the animals. Way to go! 

Well.. Hi! I'm Albert. I am just one year old and I currently live at the Brooks Animal Protection Society. I am not feeling very well right now.. I am bleeding on the inside and I need to take a trip to Calgary for a ..scope? Or something like that! I am on meds that make me feel better but it won't get better without more help. The thing is.. It's going to cost BAPS around $1000! I don't even know how much that is but it sounds like a LOT for a nonprofit that helps animals like me. Do you think you help me out? Donations can be made in person at the shelter (415 1st Ave East), online (http://www.bapsociety.com/Donations.html ) or by mail (PO Box 86, Brooks, T1R 1B2). Thank you for your consideration!

BAPS is looking for a very dedicated volunteer to come in once a week to weigh all of our cats. This will take about 2-3 hours and needs to be done each week. Of course, you must be comfortable handling cats. Please contact BAPS at 403-362-4323 or info@bapsociety.com

People often wonder, or get upset about how we adopt the majority of our cats to indoor only homes and why we refuse to adopt out kittens as barn cats. This is Gingerbread. She was found frozen to metal outside yesterday. Frozen. They needed to use a hammer to break her free. Both hind feet are completely and utterly frostbitten - she's just a baby. Hopefully, with meds and painkillers, we can save her.

Merry Christmas and have a wonderful new year - we wish you the best! This year we have adopted out over 290 animals into new homes and helped reunite over 130 cats and dogs with their families when they went missing. When support for an ill, injured, or abused animal was needed, funds for medical care was able to be raised in mere hours for each incident. We want to give everyone a HUGE thank you for your ongoing support. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! We couldn't do it without you.

These four, 8 week old babies were found in a dumpster last week.. And since then, 3 of them (all but the Grey+white girl) have adoptions pending on them! This why we do what we do. From unloved, unwanted and thrown away to endless love, happiness and forever homes - these kittens have had their lives turned around.
