Christine Koltun has worked in animal rescue for over 20 years and has never seen so many cats in such dire circumstances.
“People are under the financial gun to where they no longer have the funds necessary to find a place where they can keep their pets, so they feel they have to surrender them,” said Buttnor, who helped found the rescue three years ago after seeing a stray cat warming itself on a sewer grate in -28 C weather.'Stocks are depleted': Edmonton's Food Bank grapples with increased demand
Such people are usually at the point of desperation, she said. Some may have adopted their animals during COVID lockdowns, only to struggle to pay the hundreds of dollars for vaccines and a spay/neuter amid rising inflation. Flint, a cat in the care of Edmonton Cold Weather Animal Rescue, is seen at Hamptons Animal Hospital on Aug. 10, 2023.“They tried the bigger organizations like the humane society and found out that there’s like a six- to eight-month waitlist.”
Koltun believes an updated cat bylaw is needed. Some cities prohibit unfixed cats from roaming free, but Edmonton doesn’t, she said.
