Online Anniversary Auction a Big Success

The final total amount raised for our Annual Anniversary Online Auction was $6,640.35! Our Best Year Yet! Thank you to all who participated!! A very special thank you to Barbara Demetrick of Ontario for helping me out this year finding so many great items!

It's Raining Cats and Dogs or rather Puppies and Kittens

This Spring and Summer have been very busy as usual with many requests to fly litters of puppies and kittens.

Since April 1, 2015, we have flown:

40 dogs, 31 puppies, 13 cats, 12 kittens, 3 Degus, 4 Snowy Owls, 1 Gyrfalcon, 5 Great Horned Owls and a Peregrin Falcon.

From Northern Quebec and Northern Ontario for releases back into the wild, to Victoria BC to Halifax Nova Scotia and all points in  between, our wonderful volunteer pilots have been really helping out a lot of rescue organizations.

One of the transports above had a special aspect to it. 

On July 4th, when 3 planes transported 11 puppies & 4 dogs from the SPCA CÔTE-NORD de SEPT-ILES, also hitching a ride were 3 film crews.  One doing a piece for CBC Canada, one doing a piece for a Quebec publication and one who was working on a one hour documentary about PNPC which will be released within the next year on a popular animal tv channel in Quebec.

We are very excited to be able to help out a lot more in Quebec as time goes on.  Quebec has had the worst reputation for animal care in Canada for many years.  Seeing such positive cooperation among the rescues, has been a real motivation for us to offer more.

The Pilots Fuel Fund

We started a Fuel Fund for the pilots doing extraordinary flights of greater distance, remote communities and number of animals involved back in January 2015.

So far the fund has paid out $4,717.63 of the $8,085 raised at that time.  We have a balance right now of $3367.37 at June 15 2015. 

The two upcoming extra long flights for Trouble the Cat and the two newborn pups from Labrador to Halifax will each be getting help from the fund with $1000 each towards their hefty costs for these flights.

That means our Fuel Fund needs some topping up. 

If you can make a donation to Keep Our Fur Flying that would be fantastic!  100% of the money raised is distributed to the pilots so you will be directly helping us help them, to help them to help the animals.

You can make a donation to the Fuel Fund by following the link HERE.

For every donation of $25 or more, you will receive a tax receipt from CanadaHelps which is a registered charity under Revenue Canada.

Thanks for helping and supporting what we do!
