The 9 Lives Program was developed in 2017 and aims to provide companionship for local seniors in our region. We believe that, regardless of age, companion animals deserve compassion and a chance to live out their golden years in comfort. Pet companionship has a lot of benefits for both humans and pets in their golden years. The 9 Lives Program eliminates the financial burden of pet ownership by providing all medical care, food, and supplies for seniors enrolled in the program. We are proud to offer this program, in partnership with the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, Wood Buffalo Housing and St. Aidan’s Society. 

Currently, there are 6 animals placed in the senior pet companionship program. If you know of someone interested in the program, please e-mail programs@fortmcmurrayspca.ca
