Sponsorship Programs
Each year we receive hundreds of kittens without mothers. They must be kept warm because they are not able to regulate their temperature themselves. They also need to be bottle-fed or in certain cases fed by a catheter.
For those little orphaned kittens every hour counts, and we reach out to you for help us in offering all the resources necessary for their survival.
We can count on our extraordinary network of 40 foster families who provide care for these kittens every day. In exchange for their, and their families,’ constant efforts Proanima provides to them all materials necessary including food, milk, feeding bottles, warming discs, scales, thermometers, litterboxes, medications and all other support materials.

Since the opening of the shelter, we have seen an evolution in the clientele we serve at the shelter. Presently, senior animals are part of our daily lives, and we wish to offer to them the same opportunity as offered to our younger animals.
Senior pets not only live an enormous stress at their olfer age, but often these animals when their environment changes, but often these animals suffer in silence pains of their past.
For their comfort and to allow them to find a family we invest a lot of time and resources into their care.
- Dental care; removing tartar and teeth extraction.
- Removal of masses
- Blood tests to assess the health of organs.
- X-Rays
- Specialized diets
With the help of donations from the public, we can offer more care to our geriatric animals.
To contribute to the reduction of the stray cat population we have a cat sterilization clinic.
Non-sterilized cats reproduce rapidly and contribute to creating several problems within the community: nuisances to the neighbourhood (territorial marking, fights, animals in heat), development of illnesses, undernourishment, unwanted kitten births, abandonments at shelters, etc.
The Capture-Sterilization-Release-Maintain (CSRM) Program aims to capture cats from their colonies, examine them, and then vaccinate and sterilize them. If they are in sufficiently good health, they are then released within their initial area and maintained in their habitat thanks to a network of volunteer citizens called “colony guardians”. With the help and the support of the shelter, these citizens bring food and shelter to these cats who can continue to live as before.
The CSRM allows the cats to live within their natural habitat with the benefit of protection and nutritional support.
