Cochrane & Area Humane Society

Today is World Spay Day (or as we like to call it at CAHS, just another ‘Tuesday’) This is why it is so important to support your local animal rescues and shelters with spays and neutering. All animals that come through our doors at CAHS are sterilized, vet checked, vaccinated, tattooed and microchipped - the perfect furry companion to adopt, because all the complicated stuff is looked after for you and all they need now is someone to give them a home and love. ...

ANOTHER HAPPY ENDING... Cleo (formerly Kershaw) gives the best kisses! She has really warmed up to her fur siblings Rosie who is 5 months, and Belle who is 13 years old. First day home she didn’t like when Rosie got near her food but as of today they like to drink out of the water bowl together (even though they have their own and we feed them in different spots) and she allows Rosie and Belle near her food while she eats! She is our cuddle bug and was the missing puzzle piece to our family!

Check out Peyto working the reception desk from his visit to Cochrane GM last week!

Help! We are in desperate need of towels and/or flat sheets. Are you able to donate? If they are old, a bit stained and even a bit torn, it's ok - as long as they are clean. ... We have a donation bin in front of the main entrance at the shelter, you can donate at your convenience. Thank you!!

Take a look at Maggie (formerly Cookie from the snack puppy litter). She is sitting on her brand new Mutt Mat purchased from Norm's Nook at the @quirksocial Valentine's Day Pop Up Market earlier this month! Maggie is learning all about her place on the mat and like anything purchased from the CAHS Norm's Nook Pet Supply Shop, all the proceeds go directly back to the shelter to help with animal care, medical needs and daily operations. If you would like to purchase some ite...ms and support the shelter at the same time, please visit: https://cochranehumanestore.square.site/ See more

ANOTHER HAPPY ENDING... "He is truly the most affectionate little thing - he forces his love on to me. He follows me every where, must be with mom. And wow - does he ever have the cutest smile? The first week was hard to get a good photo - he ran around so frequently taking in every inch of the house. He’s settling so nicely. And don’t even get me started on the tuck in he likes accompanied with belly scratches and all. What cat likes belly scratches?! Haha."

Did you know CAHS has a pet supply store and that ALL PROFITS support the animals at the shelter? The store features Royal Canin pet food, toys, treats, leashes, xpens, and many other accessories for cats and dogs! Norm's Nook is online and we are offering curbside pickup!
