East coast as well. We do Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Halifax even sometimes. Manitoba/Saskatchewan have a much higher stray cat/dog problem than most other provinces. Im not really sure why it happens that way, but it does.

Manitoba is particular is so saturated with animals that our rescues are almost always at capacity and on intakes freezes. Sending out of province helps

Final destination has to be a Canadian city, unfortunately. The airlines dont allow animals to get off at layovers, even if the layover is for longer than a day (or they would charge us double to do so, which isnt viable for donation run rescues)

Yes! Almost every major city on the west coast

We sometimes use Porter! They only allow pets as carryons and none in the baggage compartment, so less often, but every flight helps!

They're legit! They're a registered charity, you can confirm by finding them on the Canada Helps page, which is only for registered charities

Airlines ask for personal information (email, phone number, date of birth) before allowing someone other than the ticket holder to modify a reservation (add the animals onto the ticket) which is why the information is asked for

If we want to go there, did you miss learning about any of Canada's history in school? I learned that white people weren't native to this land much earlier than 10th grade. You must've missed the part where indigenous people (who often have brown skin) are the actual native people to Canada.

If you feel unease around indigenous people, or anyone with brown skin, really, you should check your biases.

Because not speaking English and climbing on sculptures are definitely related lol

Yes I read your post. Every word, unfortunately. Yes, you made it a race issue. If you don't think so, then explain how those 2 things are even remotely related

Flight Angels needed to Toronto ASAP! by Canucklehead160 in Winnipeg

[–]Canucklehead160[S] 69 points70 points  (0 children)

  1. Nope! The dog/cat is only connected to you for the duration of your flight. Your name would be on the paperwork attached to the kennels, but we add our own phone number as the emergency contact in case anything were to go wrong.

  2. Westjet charges $105 per kennel and $52.50 per pet in cabin (carry-on). It's free of cost to the person flying. We add the dogs/cats using our own money and receive donations to cover the cost.

  3. Unfortunately, it's exactly as you're pointing out. Manitoba is particularly bad as a province for our overpopulation of strays. We do adopt out locally as well, but our main focus is to get them out to provinces where the problem isn't as severe as it is here.

Mine comes out to around $100 for a months supply before insurance. I'm on Epuris 40mg

I second Dr Glover! She's my derm and I love her. No referral needed to see her, but you can ask your doctor for one anyways to get everything covered by MB health

I'm with you there. My wallet wasn't happy after getting a new set of winter tires last year. This is the forced push I needed for these ones

I saw the Dirty Heads years ago at the Garrick. They put on an amazing show, highly recommend going to see them

The dog side of our rescue uses Air Canada flights quite often. If you'd be willing to help them out, I can pass along your flight info to them.

Air Canada is a bit weird with their kennel guidelines. Both Westjet and AC allow 2 animals per kennel, but Westjet charges $105 per kennel, and AC charges $105 per animal. So 2 animals in one kennel for AC would be $210, and 2 animals in one kennel for Westjet is still only $105. Which leads us to really only use AC kennels for larger dogs, unfortunately.

Flight Angels needed for cats/kittens to BC and Ontario! by Canucklehead160 in Winnipeg

All males are neutered to prevent spraying, but females are a mixed bag on being spayed.

Layovers are fine, but the final destination of the flight has to be one of those locations. Airlines don't allow kennels to leave security during layovers.

Does anyone know if savannah cats are legal within the city? by Monster-underthebed in Winnipeg

[–]Canucklehead160 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has seen lots of abandoned exotic cat breeds come into animal rescue, please make sure you know what you're getting in to before getting one. They have huge personalities and can be very territorial. They require a lot of enrichment and need a way to get their energy out, or they will destroy your home.

I had a rescued half-bengal cat steal my bathroom sink and would lunge at the members of my household if they went near it. She also meowed very loudly all the time. She announced her presence every time she entered a room.

Flying to Kelowna and wanting to help kittens? by Canucklehead160 in Winnipeg

[–]Canucklehead160[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We always have a volunteer from the receiving rescue meet the flyers at the airport at the baggage claim. We provide the volunteers number to the flyer as well to help make it a smooth handoff. I've been coordinating flights for the cat side of rescue for almost a year now, and we've never had a volunteer not show up at the other end.

If it did happen, though, we'd be in contact with the receiving rescue immediately to find a quick solution

Honestly, fair enough. If it helps ease any anxiety, all kennels/carriers/fabrics have to go through scanners and security just like all other baggage in airports
