We do request a donation (adoption fee) for our pets, and the requested fee may vary depending on the veterinary expenses incurred on behalf of the animal. Any donations or money we receive goes directly to the veterinarians that help with our animals; no profit is ever made on an adoptive animal. To avoid travel stress on the animals, local applications will be given priority.

We reserve the right, at any time, to decline a prospective adoptee without explanation. As a benefit to dogs in our care, we will not accept applications from families that do not intend to provide some positive training.

Who We Are. Animal Adoption Montreal (AAM) is a registered not-for-profit pet adoption organization dedicated to working with purebreds and purebred rescues. We are based out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada and have placed over three thousand animals since December of 2005! All of our animals our fully vaccinated and sterilized prior to adoption. My name is Maggie, and a couple of people assist me (and keep me sane) along the way. We can only take in animals that our funds, volunteers and donations can allow. The more you support us the more we can help!

We depend on your donations which in turn helps put an end to homeless pets by supporting animal adoption no matter where they are. We often take in animals that require immediate veterinary care which results in very large hospital bills! Please consider sending a donation... through a network of amazing volunteers and rescue groups we can assure a safe and permanent placement of these pets.

What is "Chatopia?" A leader in the adoption process by allowing cats to have freedom in a home-like environment. Our recent adoption of Chip and Augusta prompted the following response from their new family:

"We feel as though we owe you a debt of gratitude, and I am sure the cats agree. Chip and Augusta would never have been able to settle in and let their guards down like they already have in our home had they not been so warmly and kindly cared for. I don't think that coming out of the environments they they were found in, either of them would ever have been able to trust us so quickly had they not come to know how caring and gentle people could be during their stays in Chatopia. I believe all of your care and attention in such a safe and warm environment readied them for a loving home."

Be sure to contact us to come visit. The cats love the company!!!

News.July, 2009. We are embarking on a very large and wonderful project to promote animal welfare! We are looking for volunteers interested in all forms of pet education. Please contact us for more information. We have also just assisted another back yard breeder release of cats and are looking for funding for sterilization. Please let us know if you can support our plight.

June, 2009

We were asked to participate in the American Veterinary College of Internal Medicine (ACVIM) and the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association(CVMA) conference June 3-6th in Montreal, Qc, Canada. http://www.acvimforum.org/websites/forum/index.php?p=162

What an honor to have been asked to take part in such professional event.

We sadly have had four cats pass over to the rainbow bridge recently. Despite all our medical efforts we lost Annabelle a beautiful 14-year-old Siamese who died of kidney failure, Muggles, a year-old domestic stray to extreme starvation, Bobbie (who we were caring for on behalf of another rescue), a 6-year-old silver-grey Persian to a heart attack, and our dear 4-year-old Persian Pebbles to liver failure.

This is devastating to us and the all our volunteers who help. We are left asking why with no answers. We know we did all we could but sadly we are often just too late. These four were loved by us, cared by us and have found peace with us and we will remain, as always, here for them!

In 2008 we had a very busy year as we were called upon to help in two seizures involving over 120 Siamese and Persian cats. It was devastating to see the conditions these cats were in, but so satisfying to be able to assist. Many hard lessons were learned from these situations and we have since improved our protocols. In order to continue our efforts to do more seizures we need your help. Please consider offering a donation using the "Make a donation" button or contact us so we can send you more information.

We are currently handling several medical emergencies and urgently need funding. Spectro is finally recovering from Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD). We did all that was medically needed but at a cost of over $2,000. Sadly, we are no longer financially able to assist any other medical emergencies until we recover these funds. Please consider sending us a donation on his behalf. With many months of trial and error we have managed to find a food that Spectro can tolerate and his digestive tract is back to normal. Since Feline IBD reflects some cats' inability to consume certain foods, dietary changes play a large part in control of the disease. We asked for help from all of you and we received so much advice. In particular Karen and her husband from the US that deal with so many special need cases of their own but extended help and advice to Spectro and we are all forever grateful! THANK YOU!!!! Please take a look at their wonderful page dedicated to these animals http://kenpope.com/huckle/gracie.php. If you are looking for information on IBD please be sure to contact us. Despite all that he has been through Spectro remains an amazingly affectionate and very handsome young snowshoe looking for a family to call his own! We are also always continually working with several of our Persians who need to see eye specialists. We have proceeded with the treatments but cannot afford their high medical bills. Make a difference so that we may continue our good work. Please use the "Make a Donation" button near the top of this page or mail a cheque to:

Thank you!

Can you volunteer? Your help is welcome! AAM embraces its volunteers in helping to care for the animals. For more information on how you can volunteer please . There's no more rewarding experience than to watch a stressed (and sometimes sick) animal come out of its shell and become a happy and loving companion!

The Animals' Savior
Copyright © Jim Willis 1999

I looked at all the caged animals
in the shelter...
the cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope,
fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.

And I was angry.

"God," I said, "this is terrible!
Why don't you do something?"
God was silent for a moment,
and then He spoke softly.
"I have done something," He replied.

"I created you."

Our mascot, Super Fritz
