Great story, this cat found in the Mile End turns out to have been missing since September. His owner was found in Spain via an old poster, so Koffi is going to stay with family until her return in May! Congrats to Amy for this happy ending!!
Dog on the run in Mile End!
Message on my facebook this morning :
I just saw a dog in Mile End on the corner of Van Horne and Esplanade. It seems a bit like German Shepherd with a dark face, long red/brown fur and a fairly large gold medal. He was alone, his fur was all matted and dirty and his tail was between his legs, he seemed to be afraid. He crossed Van Horne and missed being crushed by the cars. He looks to have been abandoned for awhile. He went towards the Van Horne Viaduct. I’m hoping that someone will recognize him.
If in the area please keep an eye out!
Yoda
Yoda has been missing since Monday, December 12th, and she is only six months old. She disappeared from Le Septieme Sablier (a second-hand bookstore) on Parc Avenue, just south of St. Viateur. She is a black/white mix and has not yet been fixed (the appointment is next week!). It is imperative that she is found and taken to the vet because both her brothers were “spastic” cats and it is possible that she will also have disabled kittens.
Yoda lives at 5372 Parc Avenue (she’s a bookstore cat), ph: 438-877-7345. Thank you.

Red Retriever lost in Mile End – found!
Hello, I lost my dog on Saturday morning at 6 am on the corner of St-Viateur East and Casgrain (Mile End). He is a golden retriever but red (like an Irish setter). He is a year and a half old, neutered and weighs 60 pounds. He is very affectionate. He had a chain collar (choker).
UPDATE – NOV 29TH : This dog has been found but apparently I wasn’t advised because according to the owner, no one ever looks at these ads anyways! Geez, your welcome!
Lola – found!!
Last seen on October 21st, Lola was found at her old apartment 5 kilometres away! Of course her family are elated! Welcome home Lola!
Dog found in a garbage can in Mile End!
I found a dog in a garbage can outside of Arts Cafe at Esplanade and Fairmont today. Her “owner” was a homeless man that was inside the cafe. He told me that I could take her if I could give her a home, which is what I’m trying to do. She had a leash and a collar, which suggests that maybe she was somebody’s lost puppy when he found her.

Cat found in Mile End – is home!
Michia – the happy conclusion!
Finally, the happy conclusion to Michia’s story! I didn’t dare to update her post until she arrived safely in her new home. She was first lost in the Mile End area on September 14th of 2010, and posted here shortly after. Despite all the efforts on the part of Mary, Michia remained elusive. I updated the post in April of this year, but still there was no sign of her. Finally Mary had to move away, without news of her adored cat. But out of the blue, Michia turned up at the end of August as a found cat, signaled by Genevieve, who then found the post for Michia who was lost in the same area. After verification the match was confirmed! Because Mary was now living on Salt Spring Island, in British Columbia, the reunion couldn’t be made without some planning and a plane ride!
Here’s Mary’s update and photos of her in her new home!
Just sending along a few photos of our first days back together. Micha is feeling much better from the plane trip, and has been eating and drinking a lot! She seems to be very happy in our little cabin. I think she wants to go outside but I’m not going to let her out for another few weeks. Micha says hi and thanks you for all of your amazing help in brining her home.
What I take away from this story is that life moves in miraculous ways, sometimes it can do for us what we could never do for ourselves. I spent months looking for Micha, walking the streets and alleys around my house day and night, I met lots of cats and lots of cat-lovers, but I did not find my kitty. During that time, I became involved in activism to shut down the Berger Blanc, after visiting the place and sensing that it was not operating in the best interests of pets or of pet owners. Sadly, eventually I had to give up my search for Micha, because I did not believe I would ever find her. I never forgot about her, though, and felt sick to my stomach every time I thought about having to move away from Montreal without my cat! I missed her so much my heart ached.
I have become more involved in animal activism. in BC there is very strict animal abuse legislation. Animal cruelty is a criminal offence and someone who is cruel to an animal can spend up to 5 years in jail and be given a fine up to $75,000. My understanding is that these laws don’t exist yet in Quebec. This is a problematic scenario for animals and for the Quebec society. We must all work for changes that protect the welfare of animals. I am going to be volunteering at my local SPCA from now on.
Petluck is a great service and was able to help me in a friendly manner that I didn’t get from the Berger Blanc (who serviced my borough). You clearly really care about animals and about reuniting pets with their owners. Your site was an invaluable tool in brining my beloved cat home to me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do and wish you many more success stories for the future!
Mary
I hope that it won’t be my last long lost pet to get home. Something that can’t happen without the implication of the wonderful animal lovers of our city. Long live Michia!
Cat found in the Mile End – home!
Pi – home!
Amazingly, this is not the first time Pi has flown the coop,and once again he is home! Lucky bird! Thanks to the Montreal SPCA for their support of the site, and for making the connection that reunited Pi with his family!
