“This is an especially needy time for us. PetitsPawz recently rescued multiple cats from a man who passed away suddenly. Many of the cats require significant veterinary care in order for them to have a great quality of life. The funds raised will help significantly”, says Patricia Paulozzi, Vice-President.
PetitsPawz is dedicated to serving cats (and dogs in emergency situations) in need throughout the Island of Montreal. The refuge was co-founded by Verdun’s Susan Mackasey and Montreal West’s Danka Ducic in 2009. PetitsPawz’ mission is to give shelter and care to stray, abandoned and abused animals, with the goal of finding appropriate caring adoptive families. It also conducts a catch and release program, which sterilizes, vaccinates and returns feral cats back into their established colonies to prevent further reproduction and the spread of disease.
