C.A.R.E.S.
Formed in 1993, C.A.R.E.S. (Canadian Animal Rescue &Extended Shelter) provides shelter for stray, abandoned and unwanted cats in a safe, loving, cage free environment in Milner.
C.A.R.E.S. is a no-kill shelter, so its cats will stay there for as long as it takes to find them permanent homes; some have been at the shelter for more than a decade.

Embrace a Discarded Animal Society
According to the society, it transports dogs from over-populated high-kill shelters in California, or other shelters where needed, to less populated areas, giving these dogs a second chance at life.
The society assists various other rescue organizations to help transport dogs to re-home.

Walk for Cats
Cat people got some exercise while at the same time raise some much-needed funds for feline friends this past Sunday in Fort 91原创.
The C.A.R.E.S. 14th annual Walk for the Cats took place at Derby Reach Park.
More than 50 people walked, helping to raise in excess of $12,000 for C.A.R.E.S., reported the shelter鈥檚 fundraising chair Clive Ellis.
鈥淎 great day at the walkathon,鈥� Ellis said. 鈥淭he weather was kind. Great barbecue afterwards, and a few prizes.
鈥淚 think that everyone really enjoyed this format鈥�.a real pleasant five-kilometre walk in the sunshine, and plenty of time to meet and greet afterwards.鈥�
鈥淭his is an important event for the cats,鈥� Ellis said, in the leadup to this year鈥檚 walk. 鈥淲ithout raising money to pay for all her expenses and the expenses of all the other cats, they would have no future.鈥�
