Letter to the editor
Invermere Companion Animal Society (ICAN) is thankful to have a newly refurbished, weather-proof compound for the large number of cats in need that we are presently housing.
With more people having to move and less (pet-friendly) long-term rentals available, there is a growing population of companions looking for shelter until new homes can be found. This also requires more hands to help with their care and maintenance.
Since feeding and cleaning require adherence to specific procedures, we are seeking dedicated, reliable people who will follow direction. We are also hoping to expand our foster home network.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Columbia Valley Community Foundation for providing the “seed money” which allowed us to purchase the materials that Timber Point Contracting put together so beautifully to replace our aged outdoor enclosure. Additional gratitude goes to Jesse Sutherland of Timber Point for a $3,000 cash donation.
Special thanks must also go to Don Buckner, Barry Brown-John and the dedicated members/volunteers who helped dismantle and take away the worn material to prepare the space for restructuring. They also did a great job taking out the overgrown shrubbery. Thank you all.
To become a member or volunteer, you can send an email to [email protected], visit our website at https://icanbc.com/, or phone 250-341-7888. Our administrative office hours are currently 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday.
