Animal Care in Langley

C.A.R.E.S. was formed in 1993 when a group of animal lovers wanted a shelter for animals that were homeless. We provide shelter for stray, abandoned and unwanted cats in a safe, loving, cage free environment. There is a no kill policy at C.A.R.E.S., therefore any animals that are not adopted will be able to live the rest of their natural lives at the shelter. A SAFE AND CARING HOME – THE BASIS OF A GOOD LIFE: In February of 1998, C.A.R.E.S. began an alliance with PetSmart in Langley, British Columbia. Cats that are rescued receive quality food, shelter and veterinary care, and many of those cats are then taken to the PetSmart adoption centre in the Langley store. From February 1998 to December 2011, we have adopted out over 5400 cats from that location. As a small, non-profit organization we rely on our community of volunteers to help us keep the shelter clean and the cats well loved. Our volunteers assist with adoptions at PetSmart as well as cleaning, caring for the cats, fostering cats and kittens and generally providing love and protection for abused, injured, hungry, lost and abandoned animals. C.A.R.E.S. is funded entirely through memberships, adoption fees, fundraising events and the generous tax-deductible donations of caring individuals and corporations. C.A.R.E.S. is a non-profit Society and a registered Charity. All donations over $10 receive a tax receipt.  

Critter Care Wildlife Society specializes in the treatment, care and release of sick, injured and orphaned Native Mammal species of British Columbia. We are the only facility in BC specializing in the care of ALL of BC’s mammals, and one of only four Bear Rehab facilities in the province. In addition to rehabilitation we are involved in community based education programs at primary, secondary, and collegiate levels. We work to educate the public through involvement in civic groups, seniors homes and assist other wildlife management organizations. Our internship program has reached a new landmark this year, extending invitations to more than 25 collegiate or post graduate students from every continent on the planet but Antarctica! For the last 30 years we have been a part of the Greater British Columbia Community serving its people and its wildlife through education and rehabilitation. We are principally volunteer driven and depend solely on the support of the public to further our success. We are deeply grateful for your continued generosity.
