Bosco – found!!

Bosco

There was dramatic rescue off the ice at Nun’s Island yesterday, of which pictures can be seen on the Montreal Dog Blog, and then some tense hours while we waited for confirmation of his identity!  Bosco was originally lost in Côte-St-Luc on Jan 14th and somehow wound up stranded on the ice! Bravo to the firefighters who rescued him. He’s one very lucky dog!

*There is still a missing german shepherd, and perhaps she is still running in Montreal, Shanghai, an eight year old visually impaired female. I hope she’ll also be found soon!

Sunny

This cat Sunny (I know its not the best picture) was lost about a week ago in Côte St Luc (September 19, 2010) specifically on Heywood avenue. He’s a male tabby with medium length hair and he’s about one year old and spayed (he has his claws).

Found grey cat Montreal West/N.D.G./Côte-St-Luc Area

cat x

After having lost our beautiful grey kitty last week we posted lost signs all over our neighborhood, but were very saddened to learn that he had been killed by a car. Before I had a chance to take down the signs, I received 2 phone calls from different people having found grey kitties. I went to double check (i kept hoping even though I knew our kitty had died…) and neither of them are mine, and since I know how heartbreaking it is to lose a pet, I wanted to post this in case somebody else is looking for their grey kitty in this neighborhood. Both cats are totally grey, but one has short hair and one has long hair. I have the phone numbers of the people who took them in and would be happy to help reunite these kitties with their families. Contact me if either or them might be yours…Thank you!

Sasha disappeared Sept. 6th in the evening. She is a cat that goes outside by her own and come back always. Something happened to her. We keep on searching. Unfortunately she lost her collar some weeks ago. We live in Cote Saint-Luc and Hampton. I hope I can have news soon. She is a 9 year old grey female, missing a patch of fur on her forehead.

If you have any news, please call 514-995-7117. Thank you

Public information meeting about responsible pet ownership and feral cats in Côte Saint-Luc

The City of Côte Saint-Luc will host a public information meeting on Wednesday, August 18 at 7:30pm at City Hall (5801 Cavendish Blvd.) about what residents can do to help control the city’s cat population.

Alanna Devine, the director of animal welfare at the CSPCA, and Dr. Marlene Kalin, the director of the Côte Saint-Luc Animal Hospital will speak at the meeting and answer questions from the audience.

“I am calling upon anyone who is a cat owner or has a love for animals to attend this meeting, which is the first of its kind ever held in Côte Saint-Luc,” said Councillor Mike Cohen, who will be chairing the meeting. “We are fortunate to have the likes of Alanna Devine and Dr. Marlene Kalin giving of their valuable time. Not only will their presentations be very interesting, I also hope they will inspire people to get involved with this issue.”

The speakers will discuss the Trap, Neuter, and Release (TNR) program, cat overpopulation, and responsible pet ownership. The TNR program humanely traps, sterilizes, then releases feral cats back into their original territory. Experts say that removing feral cats doesn’t work because new cats simply move into the area. If the cat is adoptable, efforts are made to place it with a family. A cat can reproduce four times a year, beginning from six months old, and can give birth to from one to eight kittens each time. Two unaltered cats can, over a period of seven years, create more than 400,000 kittens. By sterilizing the cats, their numbers are brought down through attrition.

TNR programs have been proven worldwide, throughout Europe, the United States, parts of Canada, as the most humane and cost-efficient way of controlling and decreasing the numbers of homeless cats.

Côte Saint-Luc Mayor Anthony Housefather gave Councillor Cohen a mandate to organize such a meeting and return to council with recommendations regarding the TNR program.

“As a cat owner myself I can attest to what amazing and loving animals they are,” Councillor Cohen said. “I know there are a lot of people out there whose lives can be given a real life by bringing a feline into their homes. The Côte Saint-Luc Animal Hospital, for instance, has taken in many feral cats over the years and eventually found homes for them.”

I lost a bird on June 27,2009. It is an indian ringneck, medium-size green parrot with red beak and long tail. His name is Kiwi and we miss him very much. He likes apples, grapes and bread. He flew away from the balcony in Cote Saint Luc at Macdonald and Dupuis. We advertised everywhere, checked every vet clinic and pet store. Please help! Reward is offered.
