Updated February 3rd, 2026

💞 In some good-natured fun, we are accepting donations to provide tasty Valentine treats to our patients and ambassador birds. For a minimum $5 and until February 15th, you can gift a rodent or fish to a critter…and if your sense of humour runs that way, name it after a pest, peeve, or ex. 

When giving through Canada Helps, please donate under # 4 “Valentines: Pests, Peeves, and Exes” fund. Click “Write a private message to us” and, if you wish, dedicate your fish or rodent dinner. You can also send a virtual e-card to your honoree, but physical cards won’t be sent.
