Aboriginal Community & Animal Advocacy Connection (ACAAAC) serves

all First Nations communities who are seeking to implement animal welfare services, and increase health and wellbeing within their communities. ACAAAC is a First Nation founded and operated organization that was formed at a grassroots level for the need of animal welfare within First Nations. It was a realization years before of the need to help the animals and since formed in 2007. The focus is awareness, animal welfare education, advocacy, resources, plus accessible and affordable services for First Nations. Aboriginal Community & Animal Advocacy Connection works with various First Nation communities, to bring together veterinary teams that work in partnership with Nations to provide veterinary care, through veterinary spay/neuter and wellness clinics. In addition, ACAAAC works with select rescue groups that operate with notable ethical standards, integrity and with high adoption standards. ACAAAC has worked with select Humane Societies that are seeking to partner with First Nation communities for spay/neuter, wellness clinics and shelter contracts. Previously effort was made to provide communities with support for cruelty to animals through the provincial Act, in addition to bylaw training and enforcement. The organization is dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of dogs and cats, whether owned or unowned. In addition, to assisting community members to achieve the best health and wellbeing for their companion animals. Being respectful of community member's privacy, has always been an important aspect when working with communities. We work to alleviate the suffering or distress, to promote care and compassion. It is through awareness, spay/neuter, rehome and participation that reducing overpopulation and suffering is achieved. Services are sustainable and functionality is achieved through a community based approach. Once overpopulation is achieved, the maintenance stage is easily controlled. The strategic, long-term objective is to bring communities to a place of maintenance which requires proactive community participation, and being fully integrated within community services. Moreover, public health and safety is increased, where animals and humans live in a more harmonious way. On a deeper level, the link between the roles of dogs within First Nations is historical. Through awareness and awakening of our link, dogs are restored to their rightful, respective and honourable standing. Therefore, promoting respect and appreciation of our animals to bringing the dog back to their honorable status within First Nations as helpers of our ancestors is acknowledged openly and with pride.

How about not killing rodents at all. Secure your home or business. That's a responsible and humane way.

This pertains to shelters and rescues. There have been a number of groups and a couple shelters that have been deceptive and undermining over the years.

Some rescues have been great and very helpful. You have to get through the terrible ones along the animal welfare journey.

I've had to be very careful about who to associate with over the years.

Unfortunately, I have found many with the same old historical racism towards First Nations peoples, including myself. Including ones in sheep's clothing that are involved with communities.

The cliques they have is so childish. Just because they have helped with rehoming doesn't mean they are actually good and kind people.

It's absolutely ridiculous... the behaviours, racism I've had to put up with, including the egos and competitiveness.

👉 Meanwhile, animal welfare is about animals.... AND people.

Remember this ........................

Whether we are friends or foes is entirely up to you, as relationships are defined by mutual trust or opposition.

Friends: Offer support, care, honesty, and cooperation for mutual benefit.

Foes: Oppose your interests through deceptive, obstructive, or harmful behavior.

Choice: You can choose to build an alliance or create an adversary through your actions and intent.

REQUEST FOR DONATIONS

UPDATE AUGUST 25th

It's been sometime since the last request for donations to help the cats that Jason Bressette has been looking after.

The original owner is now in assisted living but no contact information was made available to Jason.

Richard first went into the hospital in January. Leaving Jason to caretake for the 8 cats. Then he was notified that Richard wouldn't be coming home. Followed by Ricahrd being placed in assisted living. No further information was made available. So Jason has struggled to feed the 8 cats.

4 of the cats are ferals that live outside. 4 had lived inside with Richard. But it's unknown if they're friendly or feral. They are all now outdoors. If there were friendly ones, they would be in flight mode now.... so hard to determine if they're socialized.

Currently, it's known if there can be any help with rehoming. The ferals cannot be. Therefore, ongoing caretaking will be needed.

If you're able to help provide kibble please let Jason know. Kibble would be best... it stretches further and less costly.

Jason would need any donations to be delivered since he does not have a vehicle.

PS Forest Agri Services has large bags for $40.

-------------------------------------

Reaching out to see if anyone has cat kibble for Jason Bressette at Kettle Point . He has been feeding a friend's cats since January.

That friend was in the hospital and is now not returning home. He's gone to long-term care.

🐱 Now Jason needs to find at least the, 4 of the 8, cats homes but needs help with kibble. 👉 Any litter would help too. 🐱

Jason has been actively looking for a rescue to help with rehoming. But there are always waitlists.

👉 If you're able, there are large bags of cat food at Forest Agri Services. It would last the longest. The Forest number is indicated on the image.

Jason doesn't have a vehicle. So if you could deliver, it would be greatly appreciated.

Caregivers of Petrolia Ferals also offered donations if someone can help deliver from Petrolia to Kettle Point. 💗

You can reach Jason Bressette through messenger.

Please share 🙏🙏🙏
