Outreach Support Program

Critteraid Cares

About

We offer several ways to help you care for your animals in times of need.

We truly wish we could assist every request that comes to us, but unfortunately as a non-profit, this is just not possible. 

We have a budget to assist the public and it is based on a payback program, with no interest and arranged over a timeframe that we agree to with each individual.

We know that the reason you are reaching out is because you are facing a heartbreaking decision.

Our hearts are with you and please know that we will do our very best to help in anyway we can.

Emergency Medical Assistance

With Profound Sadness, we share:

Over the past few days, our sanctuary family has been facing one of the most heartbreaking experiences in our history. We are navigating a situation that has required immediate action, coordination with veterinary professionals, federal (CFIA) regulatory authorities, Interior Health and Epidemiology divisions as we had positive case of H5N1 at our sanctuary.

Our team and volunteers are devastated. The animals in our care are the center of everything we do, and the emotional weight of this moment is immense.

Because this situation is still active and regulated, we are simply consumed with this horror. We want to be very clear: we are not hiding anything from our community. We are simply trying to move through this with care, accuracy, and integrity while also supporting our animals and each other.

We will share everything with our experience. The facts we are getting a crash course in, may be able to help the next sanctuaries as these situations are designed for rapid responses wrapped in navigating the differentiating factors of being put into a commercial category.
For now, we ask for:

Our commitment to the animals, to transparency, and to this community has not changed and will never change.
If you need to reach us, please do so with kindness. Our hearts are fragile right now.

Love,
Your Critteraid Family
