Animal Rescue and More
THE ATLANTIC WILDLIFE INSTITUTE
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.

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.
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.

COMPANION ANIMAL PARASITE COUNCIL

It brings together broad expertise in public health, parasitology, veterinary law, internal medicine, private practice and association leadership.
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.
