I have posted a bunch of new pictures on the SAINTS Facebook Page in the October Album

Here are some Happy Tails:

This is a story about Wilbur and Charolette off to their new home posted on the BC SPCA's website and will be featured in their printed newsletter: http://www.spca.bc.ca/branches/west-vancouver/news/a-home-for-wilbur-and.html

--although Wilbur and Charolette have gone onto a even better home
here is an update posted on Diggin' Pigs Lovin' Goats Facebook page
Wilbur and Charlotte are settling into the routine around the farm. They're lovin' the meals here with all the great gleanings I've found. Supper was rolled organic barley, yogurt, cheddar cheese, and a bunch of Chum Salmon heads and carcasses. Yum!
The big challenge is that Wilbur is actually a bit bigger than my barrow Mollison and the male tension is big. I'd never thought of this as he was supposed to be 7 months old and should have been significantly smaller. I don't know how it will work out as I can't leave them unattended. Bummer.

Here is another update on former SAINTS Nudge:

Hi Carol! I know I have said this before a thousand times but I'm saying it again so that makes it a thousand and one times, Nudge is such a lovely, lovely cat. I am so lucky to have adopted her from Saints and have her in my home. Her easy going manner and gentle nature make her a joy to be around. She is beautiful inside and out. Hard to believe I have had her almost 5 years. To think she was almost put to sleep because of her mega-colon and nobody wanted her so she ended up being surrendered to Vetcetera on Grandview. How she ended up at Saints I don't know but I'm glad she did or I would not have her now. She is such a good friend and will be 12 next year. She's still a "heavy set" girl but she is so warm and cuddly and she just loves lounging on the bed or in front of the fire. I have taught her to do the "pony jump", when you show her the flat of your hand she jumps up to "nudge" it! She won't be dressing up for Halloween but she will be having her annual photo with Santa in early December. A great great cat and a "happy tale" from Saints.

as you can see all animals have value but many animals find themselves without a home ... here is a a sad tail ... Hal is at the vet clinic of one of our volunteers and he does not have much time. He needs a home and he might be your nest best firend. If you want to help this sweety, please email volunteer@saintsrescue.ca.

This is Hal (we renamed him at the clinic, he was previously just 'kitty'). He has been nearly impossible to get a good picture of!

He's ~10 yr old persian, male neutered, black exotic shorthair. His owner brought him to our clinic for euthanasia because he wasn't using his litterbox. Our vet refused and we have had him in hospital with us for the past few weeks but we need to find him a home! He's really sweet and talks.... a lot! He uses the litterbox in his kennel (although I don't know if he would in a house... can't make that guarantee!) He's been tested for FELV/FIV and is negative, had a full geriatric blood panel/urinalysis done, vaccinated.... But he needs to go to a home that realizes he may start peeing everywhere again and be prepared to deal with it. He also will need a dental cleaning, with possible extractions. I don't want him to go to someone to only be back in the same situation again. Thank you so much for posting this on the blog for me! I really appreciate it. If we don't manage to find a home for him soon then we are going to have to euthanize.... and I hate to think about that.
