ANIMAL RESCUE AND MORE
At Atlantic Wildlife Institute (AWI), we encourage you to learn more about the vital relationship between nature and people. Our team focuses on providing hands-on learning and research programs that are designed to handle rescues, rehabilitation and release of dispatched wildlife.
OUR MISSION:
To provide a safe and comfortable haven for animals in need. We also try to rehabilitate and relocate as many animals as possible.
To promote healthy companionship and relationship between people and animals.
To enjoy the quality of life for animals and to proactively promote their intrinsic value.
To provide education, awareness and advocacy in order to prevent cruelty, negligence, carelessness and ignorance towards animals.
Our mission is to strike a balance in the community cat population through trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs. This practice helps in improving the lives of these cats, supports long-term cat population resolutions in communities and also gives a voice for the compassionate care of free-roaming cats.
ANIMAL HEALTH
INDOOR PET INITIATIVE
The Indoor Pet Initiative works towards making every day of your pet the best day. They aim at improving the health and welfare of companion animals worldwide. Enhancing this aspect will contribute to the optimal well-being of all the pets and their caregivers. This website consists of all the information and tools that a caregiver requires to recognize thriving in their pets and to create an environment that helps them to thrive across their lifespan.
CAT HEALTHY
Cats sprawl across our open newspapers and rev their motors to lull us to sleep. They bat their way out of paper bags and into our hearts. But is it saddening to know that, 50% of cats in Canada haven’t seen a veterinarian in the last year. That’s why Canada’s veterinary feline specialists created Cat Healthy with an initiative to help more cats get the preventive healthcare required to live longer and healthier lives.

Pet Health Network® focuses on enhancing the health and well-being of your dogs and cats. In this website, you will get to see a community of people who have dogs and cats as a part of their families.

Visitors have access to abundant information to keep their pets healthy and they also get a chance to share ideas, stories and pictures among the community members.
COMPANION ANIMAL PARASITE COUNCIL
The Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) is an independent council established by veterinarians, veterinary parasitologists, and other animal health care professionals to create guidelines for the optimal control of internal and external parasites that cause a threat to the health of pets and people. It brings together broad expertise in public health, parasitology, veterinary law, internal medicine, private practice and association leadership.
VETERINARY PARTNER
The Veterinary Partner website provides information about general pet health and care, nutrition, behaviour, first aid and emergency preparedness, medications and various medical conditions to pet owners.
