WELCOME TO THE LATEST EDITION OF MY GRANDFATHER’S TALES
We’re so excited to share with you the work we’ve been doing and the milestones we have met over the last three months.
we’re helping 200 seniors feed their pets this holiday season
My Grandfather’s Cat will be helping more than 200 seniors, terminally ill people and those in need feed their beloved pets this holiday season through our Fill the Dishes for the Holidays initiatives — a Holiday Pet Pantry available across Canada and a Holiday Pet Food Giveaway in Nova Scotia.
Holiday Pet Food Giveaway
Our Holiday Pet Food Giveaway in-person event will take place in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia where we will be giving away free pet food to 100 seniors, terminally ill people and those in need.
Everyone is welcome to come out to this event for a day of festive fun, take part in free pet photos with Santa, and receive free pet food if you are in need.
Our friends at Parkland on the Lakes have partnered with us to make this event a reality.

our recent adoptions
Minky and Moochie
When a senior lady was diagnosed with a terminal heart condition, she chose not to have surgery and spent her last years with her two beloved cats, Minky and Moochie. After two years, she was struggling more and more every day and decided it was time to find a home for Minky and Moochie.
Chita
When Chita was just 10 years old, she unexpectedly suffered a stroke. While she recovered, she now had a few special needs. Her beloved senior human didn’t mind, she continued to love and care for Chita every day for the next two years until she was transferred into a long-term care home, and Chita was in need of a second forever home.
Bella
When a senior lady was moving into a retirement home, she needed to find a home for her cat, Bella. After calling almost every shelter in Winnipeg to find out they were all at capacity, she was at a loss on what to do. That’s when someone suggested she contact MGC.
“The entire rehoming process from beginning to end was meticulously thought out. I tried many, many rescues and your rescue came through for Charlie to find that perfect home.”
