Springtime in Calgary, Alberta… it brings some sun, some rain and some weather surprises, but overall warmer temperatures. For our staff at MEOW Foundation, it brings something you may not expect: a sharp increase in calls and reports about lost cats.
Access to timely vet care has become more scarce, so MEOW is exploring and working toward having our own veterinary practice.

Throughout your cat’s life, unexpected trips to the vet aren’t uncommon. And like humans, cats need annual checkups! But vet care can be expensive, sometimes getting into the thousands of dollars. MEOW Foundation encourages all pet owners to consider the financial implications of pet ownership, and veterinary care is one of the most important things to consider.
