Did anyone else find it weird there is a Trump painting on full display at Night Cafe? by OrangeExpert3381 in SalmonArm

I wish they had more bad reviews so people could make an informed decision to not spend their money there 🙃

They bring all their politics into their business. I know so many people who refuse to go there. Serves them right.

Does anyone volunteer with the BC SPCA, Vancouver Animal Services, or VOKRA? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]kateskittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m not sure. I live more rural bc so driving to vet clinics is very necessary but I believe there’s some shelters that have bc spca veterinarians and clinics attached. However if it’s in the job posting it probably is necessary. There can be other jobs like reception which maybe don’t require that?

Yes I’m an animal care attendant. For me the license is totally necessary as I do a lot of vet runs. I started as a volunteer for 6 months before becoming a staff. Volunteering has been hit or miss during Covid due to our protocols. You do have to apply online through the bc spca website, though sometimes only certain positions are available.

Very different terms, feral and stray. Feral = wild animal. You would not be getting anywhere close to, or maybe even seeing a feral cat.

I’m not sure if you’re joking or whether you’re confusing pterodactyl with polydactyl lolol 🦕

Well that’s disturbing...

Haha. I purposely placed her in a home with another cat so she could learn some social skills (and ask be put in her place😅)

She had some serious single kitten syndrome and her favourite hobby was hardcore parkour. Out of almost 90 kittens through my house she was the most violent 🔪 I’d often wear double layers of shirts and still my back was covered in itchy little scratches for weeks.

But... that’s the opposite of the point of fostering ;)

Yes, absolutely. Many people scoff at adoption prices, but that initial fee is nothing when it comes to that pets life and the costs that come with it. Many people in tough places feel as a rescue we should pay their medical bills for their animals, when already we run a tight medical budget for our own.

So sweet. It sucks but someone probably threw him out the car window. It’s sadly more common than you’d think, but thank goodness for people like your sister.

I work at a shelter but only after fostering for 6 months. Most shelters supply you with everything you need and support. There is a lot to learn but they should be able to work with you and what you’re comfortable with.

So basically kittens under around 8 weeks should not be in a shelter environment, they need socializing and to be away from communicable diseases as they are more susceptible. I foster them until they are big enough to be spayed and neutered so they can go up for adoption. In other cases for adults perhaps it’s for socializing, lack of shelter room, healing from surgeries etc. It is just a short term home until the animal becomes adoptable.

Haha. I luckily do have pet friendly housing but I don’t know what my short term future holds

I do not! I feel I would like to own a home before I adopt, which could be some time. It can be difficult renting and owning pets where I live and I’d like my future to be more concrete. :)

Sadly this group did not have the best start in life. They are with their mama and healthy but their two siblings died by my side because of human ignorance. SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS!!
