OHS Saves Lives and Ends Suffering
The Okanagan Humane Society (OHS) is a Registered Canadian Charity #8888 17269 RR 0001 formed in 1996 by volunteers committed to solving pet overpopulation. OHS carries out its Mission by:
- assisting low income families with access to low cost spay/neuter and sometimes medical care for their pets;
- rescuing, treating and rehoming stray, feral or abandoned animals;
- promoting responsible pet care through public awareness and education.
OHS is volunteer run, and foster home based, relying only on donations and grants. We could not function without our supporters, volunteers and the care and compassion of our veterinary partners.
Pet Assistance Program
Low income families or individuals can apply for assistance here. This program requires application and qualification. It is dependant on income level, OHS’ resources, and veterinary partner availability. Veterinarians reserve the right to refuse service if applicant qualification is in question, or for any other reason.

Life on the Streets
Every year, hundreds of kittens are born to a life on the streets. This is not an easy life. A life full of danger and risk almost always ending in an untimely and tragic death from car strikes, disease, frigid temperatures, or predators. These animals all have a story. Some were once family pets, sleeping on the couch and being fed every day and became lost or were abandoned by their owners. These cats had to learn how to survive on their own. Others were born into this life and know nothing else. Feral, lost, and abandoned cats are still domestic animals and do need human intervention to survive. This may be rescuing and rehoming or for those that are too feral to live with a family but have managed so far, it could be providing shelter, food, and water. OHS is committed to helping save lives and end the suffering. You can help with this life saving work.
