SUSSEX AND HALIFAX

A new chapter of CA-R-MA has begun operating in Sussex, New Brunswick, under the leadership of Bonnie Mercer.

Our Halifax chapter, working in a principally urban environment, has recently merged with the new charity, Cats in Halifax.  CA-R-MA Halifax has ceased to exist. However, TNR continues with  Cats in Halifax under the supervision of Pamela Sears, who headed CA-R-MA Halifax. We know Pamela’s notable abilities well and believe this development means a stronger, more cohesive approach to cat population problems in HRM.

CA-R-MA chapters grow out of community concern for the abandoned and feral cats.  Helping these animals requires committed volunteers  for TNR operations and fundraising as well as sympathetic veterinarians. We are always ready to advise concerned residents in any community in New Brunswick or Nova Scotia about how to effectively approach local feral cat problems. We can be contacted through this website by clicking here.

Cat Rescue Maritimes strives to improve the lives of the homeless cats around us. Our immediate goal is to humanely reduce the number of unwanted cats and kittens dying needless premature deaths and to place non-feral homeless cats and kittens in responsible homes. We accomplish this by operating TNR (trap-neuter-return) programs where colonies of stray, abandoned and feral cats exist under the care of a care giver. We also assist care givers in providing food, shelter and minor medical care for animals in their colonies. 

Our longterm goals include supporting education to change attitudes regarding the importance of spay/neutering and working with other animal rescue groups to bring about legislation for the benefit of all animals.

Cat Rescue Maritimes started as a small group of three dedicated people that got together for the first time in 2005 in the attempt to save one little cat. Since then, we have continued our work and grown into a registered Charity with chapters in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

ca-r-ma.org is an all volunteer registered charity. We have no paid employees and no support from any corporate sponsor, foundation or governement agency. We depend entirely on donations and the fund raising efforts of our volunteers to provide medical care and on-going support for the free roaming cats.

To view adoptable cats and kittens in your area, click on the local chapter's link at the top of this page. The kittens offered by ca-r-ma.org are removed from the feral colonies we serve, usually because they are orphaned, injured or otherwise at risk.

ca-r-ma.org is not a shelter and is not involved in animal control. We cannot take in unwanted pets, stray or abandoned animals nor handle complaints re animal abuse or nuisance animals.
