Our Mission

Animal Aide of St.Thomas-Elgin is a registered non-profit cat rescue located in St.Thomas, ON. Since 1993, Animal Aide has saved the lives of almost 10000 cats and kittens in Southwestern Ontario. We have helped people and touched lives in communities as far away as North Bay and as close as our own backyard. We currently operate a cat Adoption Centre that houses from 100 to 250 cats, depending on the season.

Animal Aide's mission is to save the lives of stray and unwanted cats in Southwestern Ontario. We provide temporary homes in our Adoption Centre or foster homes as well as medical care and adoptions to permanent homes. All cats are vaccinated and adult animals are spayed or neutered before adoption.
