Toronto Wildlife Centre (TWC) is a registered charity that strives to help people and wildlife through two main avenues: 1) Wildlife Services - rescuing wildlife in distress, and providing care and medical treatment to sick, injured and orphaned wild animals with the goal of releasing recovered patients back into the wild; 2) Public Education - teaching people about wildlife and wildlife issues via the Wildlife Hotline, presentations and other educational venues. We admit over 4,500 animals for care and treatment each year, and respond to approximately 30,000 wildlife-related calls on our Wildlife Hotline annually. Since opening in 1993, we have treated more than 32,000 wild patients - representatives of more than 200 species of wildlife. Toronto Wildlife Centre works in cooperation with organizations and agencies at local, regional, national and international levels to ensure that the best possible help is available for wild animals and the people who live alongside them.

Pet Patrol is an entirely volunteer-run, non-profit organization in the Kitchener - Waterloo area. We give cats a second chance, and an opportunity for a full life as we are NO KILL. Pet Patrol helps cats that have been abandoned, found ill, or homeless find new families. We are a registered charity and rely solely on donations to cover our extensive Veterinary costs, which can total $40,000 per year. We receive no assistance from our municipality or government. Pet Patrol does not believe an animal should be euthanized if they are unwanted or ill and can regain their health. We do everything in our capacity to make sure that all opportunities for the cat are met. We not only rely on conventional Veterinary care, but also alternative therapies. We also work to educate the community on the proper care of cats, and provide information aimed at reducing the homeless cat population in the KW area.
