My friend took this cat home from the Second Cup on the corner of Milton and Parc in downtown Montréal. I’m not sure I agree with his decision but have agreed to help find the owner. The cat was injured and scared silly, unwilling to move from the box it was placed in and very desiring of attention. It was brought to the café by someone in the community in the early hours of the Tuesday-Wednesday night and retrieved by Ben at 7 am. The cat (he has not yet determined its gender, apparently) is not eating, drinking, or showing interest in anything. If it belongs to anybody, they will want to retrieve it quickly as it requires, probably urgent, veterinarian care. I don’t know if my friend intends to provide that.

Berger Blanc states that while the SPCA’s mandate is to protect animals, theirs is to protect us, that they are an animal control company, not an animal welfare organization . The story of Survivor is proof that Quebec animals need our protection, much more than we need to be protected from them. And we clearly need an organization we can trust to help when needed. Here is the message that the CAACQ received from Caroline (from French) :
Here is the story of Survivor, a little dog that we found abandoned in the district of Mercier in Montreal on September 12th.
On our way to work by bicycle, we noticed him, not realizing that it was a dog. I was afraid of him at first, I couldn’t imagine that this animal I saw was a dog he was so skinny, scrawny, weak. When we called, he came to us, timid at first, but immediately so affectionate, begging for hugs and attention.
His physical condition was so terrible, to the point where my husband and I cried. I wasn’t able to stop crying. To see him still alive in this state, for someone who has the slightest respect for animals, is simply inconceivable and unbearable. In Montreal. In 2011.
We picked up the car and brought him to the vet. Along the way, good Samaritans gave him food and we were guided to the vet. Everyone who saw him was shocked.
The vet referred us first to Berger Blanc. I refused, saying I would pay the vet fees. In talking with her then, the vet advised us to call them to see if anyone was looking for him, mentioning that she would not bring him there, as their clinic did not trust them and that they did not believe that things had changed in spite of what the City is trying to make people think. And by looking at the list of veterinarians who work there, it was not reassuring…
After getting confirmation that he would come through, despite all he has lived, he did not seem to have any illness other than his malnutrition, we returned home with him. I contacted Berger Blanc and they told us to bring them the dog. I refused because I didn’t want him to be euthanized. Without demanding his description, I was told that either I bring him in, or I should deal with him on my own by making posters… When I said people must contact them when searchiing for their animals, they said no…
So I contacted the CAACQ as the vet advised me. And we are looking after him until we find him a family. This dog is so gentle and loving and so physically and emotionally depleted. I don’t understand that horrible things like this can happen in my city and that people close their eyes. Things must change. I am ashamed of my city and what humans do to animals.
Hoping that things change and that Survivor will help the animal cause.

So sadly, we don’t need to go far to find our own Patrick, and we can’t continue to shut our eyes. If anyone has any information to share about Survivor, please come forward.
UPDATE :-SEPT 19TH : Great news! Survivor is now sporting the new name Chiko, and has been adopted by his rescuers!
UPDATE : Much as they loved him, his rescuers couldn’t keep him, he’s looking for a new loving home via Sophie’s Dog Adoption.
A really happy ending for this poor lost soul, a little dog who had been found in the downtown area!
So as you know, I found a dog last night and contacted some of you so we could find the owners. This morning I was preparing to take the day off to go to the vet and check for a microchip as well as to check the overall health of the poor thing since I noticed after bathing it that it has a rash on its back and is missing almost all of its front teeth (no wonder it couldn’t eat the dry food I put down!) Since it had not eaten all night I headed out this morning, with the dog, to my local depanneur to get some little Cesar soft foods (as suggested by the helpful person at Gerdy’s). As I am walking home the dog suddenly perks up a bit and stops to listen, I stop too and then hear someone calling “Trucky! Trucky!” and the dog, who had been very melancholy and walked obediently beside me on the leash started pulling and wagging its tail in the direction of the voice! So long story short, the owners of the dog actually live in my neighbourhood and even though it had wandered Downtown (there were even some beleived sightings near Mont-Royal) we were the ones who took the time to calm her and catch her and the owners are 1 street over from us! Anyways, the dog was super happy and the owner had cream to put on the rash that they had just got at the vets and so we walked her right up to her door and watched as her family rejoiced at her return. So I am pretty happy with the way things turned out and want to thank everyone for their advice, happily the dog has found its home again! Hope you have a great day too!
A very happy ending indeed!
This girl almost didn’t make it home, but luckily her guardian took extra efforts to try and find her family. Berger Blanc refused to take down any details on the dog or any coordinates when she was reported missing. In the meantime her owner was calling Berger Blanc every morning to find out if her dog was there or reported found, and was accused of harassment! Ridiculous isn’t it! By pure chance Laska’s gaurdian found her owner and Laska is now back home!
Hi, we lost our cat during a move, she is a grey Persian, 6 years old, with a electronic chip. We are living in Montreal downtown, corner Redpath/Docteur Penfield. We’ve already put a lot of pictures of her in the neighborhood, but no success so far. She was spotted in the Montreal Cemetery. Last week she had her body shaved (just the body, not the tail and the head).

Shortly after posting I did a quick search and turned up Kahut’s lost ad posting on kijiji. She’s going to be picked up tonight! I wish it could always be so quick!
I lost my little cat on May 23rd in the sector of Theodore/ Ste-Catherine Montreal. She is 8 months old, operated, vaccinated and micro-chipped. She was wearing a black and white collar with a medaillon and a bell. She is black with green eyes. Thank you!
