Help Us Make a Difference for Animals with no access to veterinary care!

While many Canadian pet owners enjoy easy access to spaying, neutering, vaccinations, and basic health care for their pets, the situation is starkly different in numerous remote communities across the country. In these rural and often isolated areas, pet owners frequently face limited or no access to veterinary services. Financial hardships also prevent many from traveling to distant veterinary clinics or affording the necessary pet care.

This lack of access to spay/neuter services has led to an overpopulation of dogs and cats. Rehoming pets is a temporary solution, but new animals continue to replace those removed, creating an ongoing cycle. Moreover, the absence of vaccinations results in outbreaks of diseases like parvovirus and distemper, which are rarely seen in areas with regular veterinary care. Rabies is another significant threat, especially in regions where wildlife poses a real risk to both pets and people.

The Canadian Animal Assistance Team (CAAT) is a registered charity committed to addressing this gap. We focus on remote and underserved communities in Canada, bringing volunteer veterinary teams directly to these areas to provide spay/neuter and vaccination clinic events. Additionally, we collaborate with community leaders to develop sustainable animal management plans that cater to 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 entire community.

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