About

While many Canadian pet owners have easy access to spaying, neutering, vaccinations, and basic health care for their pets, the situation is quite different in many Canadian remote communities.

In these rural and often remote areas, pet owners frequently face limited or no access to veterinary services. Financial struggles also mean that many cannot afford to travel to distant veterinary clinics or pay for necessary pet care.

The lack of access to spay/neuter services lead to an overpopulation of dogs and cats. Although rehoming pets can help, it is a never-ending cycle. New animals continue to replace those that were removed. The lack of access to vaccinations lead to outbreaks of diseases like parvovirus and distemper, diseases we rarely see in areas with access to veterinary care. Rabies poses a threat in regions where, often, wildlife is a real risk to pets and people.

The Canadian Animal Assistance Team (CAAT) is a registered charity dedicated to bridging this gap. We focus on remote and underserved communities in Canada. We bring volunteer veterinary teams directly into these communities to provide spay/neuter and vaccination clinic events.

Additionally, we collaborate with community leaders to develop sustainable community animal management plans that support local needs. Recognizing that animal health is closely tied to human well-being—both physically and psychologically—our efforts benefit not only the animals but also the people and the community as a whole.

Reaching these communities is challenging due to their remote locations. To carry out our vital work, we rely on donated Aeroplan points to transport team members to these areas. Your Aeroplan donation can help us continue providing essential veterinary services where they are needed most. Please consider our cause and give.

CAAT in the Yukon

Evening in the Yukon looks like high noon where we are from.   The sun pouring down through the silver-green leaves of the quaking aspen and calling long shadows from the squatting shapes of the construction trailers. We're in a loose circle of office chairs and stacked lumber and a pair of...
