About
We are a non-profit organization that primarily provides advanced care for cats and dogs in need of medical assistance, and specializes in cases of neglect and cruelty.
Mission Mayday's primary missions are to educate the public about animal welfare and to rescue animals in need, like Mayday.
As we have no physical shelter, everything is managed remotely by a team of dedicated volunteers, many of whom have experience in clinics and emergency centres.

Humanitarian
We provide various types of support to CAP Saint-Barnabé, an organization in Hochelaga that helps people living in vulnerable situations. Animals are also welcomed there, which is why we decided to help them take care of them. Click here to learn more.
Virtual adoptions
Many of our passengers have zero adoption potential. We cover all their needs with the help of their virtual adopters, who make a monthly donation. To help one of these animals, click here.
Supporting Indigenous communities
As part of our partnership with the organization Chiots Nordiques, we take in dogs and cats from remote communities for care and/or adoption.
Special rescues
We take in animals who come from situations of neglect and abuse, to keep them from being euthanized. Their past history and origin will always remain confidential to ensure their safety.
1 - Transparency: Everyone has the right to know what's happening
2 - Communication: Is the key to a balanced volunteer team
3 - Compassion: Animals and humans deserve our support
4 - Solidarity: Unite to save innocent lives (they need you!)
- To rescue and care for dogs and cats that are abandoned or in need
- To find permanent homes for these animals if necessary (foster families)
- To recruit foster families to take in animals that are abandoned or in need
- To promote the importance of sterilization to reduce pet overpopulation
- To educate the public on the importance of responsible pet care
- To support pet owners in taking care of their dogs and cats
When an animal will not be able to have a good quality of life in the long term, we stop before over-zealous treatment. Our mission is to provide medical assistance to animals in need, which, in most cases, will mean giving them one last chance.
That’s quite simple; Mission Mayday’s dogs and cats will receive the same care as if they were our own pets. We will do everything we can to give them a fresh start, or a happy ending with their families.
Our activities rely 100% on our volunteers, who dedicate themselves 7 days a week to rescuing and caring for animals in distress. We cover the Greater Montreal area, as well as the St-Hyacinthe and St-Jean-sur-Richelieu regions.
We are a virtual shelter, which means we don't have a building in which we take in animals. They are cared for by foster families at our expense, until they are ready for adoption. Visiting our dogs and cats is therefore not possible.
We rely on financial support from the public and local businesses to fund our rescues. Our fundraisers enable us to help each animal individually, and general donations enable us to cover the rest of the bills.
We work with a number of veterinary clinics, which offer us between 10% and 30% discount on the care of our protégés. We also go to referral centres for emergencies, and consult specialists for the most complex cases.
