Keep Cats Safe and Save Bird Lives

Feb, 2016
Nature Canada and its partners are launching this new national awareness campaign to encourage cat owners from letting their pet cats roam free. The three-year campaign will start by encouraging Canadians to take a pledge in support of cat and bird safety.

Keep Cats Safe and Save Bird Lives (click the link for information) is a coalition of individuals and organizations concerned about the well-being of cats and birds. It is led by Nature Canada and is supported financially by Fuller Landau, LLP, The Crabtree Foundation, The Walrus, Indigo, Environment Canada, Pets Plus Us and Toronto Life. Nature Alberta is a proud supporter of and partner in this campaign.
