46 animals. All arriving at once. Every one of them needing safety, care and a fresh start. Last week, BC SPCA animal centres and barns opened their doors to 22 cats and kittens, 22 ducks, one sheep and one goat after their guardian experienced an unexpected change in living arrangements. With no place to take their animals, their guardian made the compassionate decision to reach out for help, knowing each one would be safe and cared for. Caring for so many animals takes an incredible amount of care and resources. Today, you can help give them everything they need as they begin their next chapter.  ♥️ Read more about their story, and help: https://spca.bc.ca/give/emergency-rescue (link in bio)

🦇 Happy International Bat Week🦇 International Bat Week is a celebration of bats and their importance to ecosystems and communities. So, we’re marking International Bat Week by separating fact from fiction. First up: the misconception that "all bats are thriving in British Columbia." ⚠️ Please note that bats are known to carry rabies in B.C. and should never be touched with bare hands. Contact your doctor, veterinarian or local public health authority immediately in cases of direct contact with a bat.
