It’s difficult to imagine a world where even the most basic veterinary care is out of reach for your pet, yet for many communities across Canada, this is an everyday reality.

The Canadian Animal Assistance Team (CAAT) exists to change that. Since 2005, we have been driven by a shared passion for the humane treatment and well‑being of all animals, working to bring essential veterinary services to remote and underserved regions across the country.

CAAT is powered by a dedicated team of volunteer registered veterinary technologists, veterinary assistants, veterinarians. Through our Animal Health Care Clinics, we provide crucial services including sterilization, vaccination, and parasite control. Our work is grounded in the ONE HEALTH philosophy, recognizing that the health of animals, people, and communities is deeply interconnected. When we care for animals, we strengthen the well‑being of entire communities.

Our volunteers travel directly into host communities, setting up temporary MASH‑style field hospitals to offer free veterinary care to those who need it most. We also collaborate closely with community leadership to develop sustainable, culturally informed, community driven animal care plans that reflect local needs and priorities.

Your support can make a profound difference. Every donation helps us reach more animals, more families, and more communities.

Stand with us in creating lasting, positive change for animal welfare and community health across Canada.
