CRPAWS volunteers conduct three-day stakeout to rescue cat family
CRPAWS used traps, cameras and sibling mewings to catch the last kitten after a three-day stakeout, officials said.
- Campbell River Partners for Animal Welfare concluded a three-day rescue campaign, saving feral cat Amelia Earhart and her six kittens from beneath a shed at Vancouver Island Air on the Tyee Spit in Campbell River.
- To prevent the mother cat from hiding the litter, CRPAWS lead Karen Ingle oversaw the effort to capture her first. "We got to catch these other kittens," Ingle said.
- Beyond the shed's design, the rescue team faced significant challenges, including Racoons, an Eagle, and a trap-savvy final kitten. "It was heartbreaking to see the little cat run," Ingle said, as they played recorded mewings.
- Following the rescue, all six kittens are safe in foster care and undergoing necessary treatments. Amelia, the feral mother cat, has returned to Vancouver Island Air after being spayed, with staff monitoring her wellbeing.
- CRPAWS is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and is seeking a larger care facility to accommodate rising needs. The organization remains entirely volunteer-run and relies on public donations to continue its rescue efforts.
