Speak Up For Paws

Speak Up For Paws We’re a registered charity tackling the community cat crisis in Ottawa and surrounding areas through TNR, advocacy, and accessible spay/neuter.

Educating our neighbours, reducing suffering, and saving lives, one paw at a time. Speak up, save a life. We are 2 women dedicated to helping cats and helping others help cats. We have teamed together to empower others through education and advocacy. We don’t claim to have all the answers or even always have the right answers. We are here to have a conversation, share and learn ourselves. Our goal

is to share our knowledge and information with likeminded individuals who are also dedicated to helping cats and other animals. Although our focus is with cats we feel that all animals deserve a voice. As individuals we can make a small difference but as a community, we can create a larger impact. Sandi Lawson- Founded and operates Adopt Me Cat Rescue. Also fosters wildlife when possible. Passionate about all animals and believes they are equally deserving of love, respect and compassion. Jackie Gauthier- Founder and owner of Jackie to the rescue Passionate about rescuing always ready to go when the call comes in whether it be for a cat or a dog all the way down to a chipmunk or a bird I will be there. Speaking up for those with no voice to speak up for themselves.

What a failure in the system! Time for people to know the truth and educate themselves on what is really happening over there!

Meet Chase, a 3 year old cat who has been barely surviving on the streets. The poor guy was most likely hit by a car and then suffered alone outside by himself to heal. He is in terrible shape and this is the life that was handed to him by a miserable vile human!

If you’d like to help us with Chase’s vet care e-transfers can be sent to [email protected] we are a registered charity.

After 10 years in rescue and trying to empty the ocean with a tsp I’m 100% onboard.

There are NOT enough homes for all the cats in need so be part of the solution and either get your cats fixed or adopt fixed cats. Otherwise you contributing to the over population problem that has become out of control.
