A Love Story with Nine Lives: Corbin’s Purr-fect Reunion

Forget Romeo and Juliet, this February, we’re celebrating a love story with whiskers, fur, and a huge dollop of heartwarming serendipity! Get ready to meet Corbin, the feline Casanova whose journey home will leave you feline good.

Two years ago, Corbin, a black and white cat with a heartthrob’s gaze, went on an unexpected adventure, disappearing from his Simcoe, Ontario home, much to the dismay of his heartbroken family. The family spared no effort attempting to find him, especially young Hudson Ryder, who shared a special connection with Corbin, but to no avail. Eventually the family had to relocate to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Little did they know, Corbin was about to begin a journey no one could have seen coming!

Sandi Fettes with Corbin

Enter Blaire Sylvester, a Simcoe resident with a nose for feline news. She spotted Corbin, snapped a picture, and shared it online. Talk about a purr-fectly timed social media post! Sandi Fettes, an animal advocate with Purrfect Companions Cat Rescue and Adoption, saw the post and recognized Corbin from a missing pet alert. She immediately contacted Corbin’s owner, Justice Ryder, and the wheels were set in motion for a meow-gical reunion.
But there was one tiny problem: distance. Simcoe to Yarmouth? Luckily, Canadian Wings of Rescue swooped in to make a family reunion in Nova Scotia a reality!

Pilot Greg Campbell loading Corbin

Volunteer pilots Greg and Clay each took a leg of this multi-day journey. After a quick visit to a vet for a check-up, neutering, and vaccinations, Corbin was ready for take-off with Greg. After a hand-off to Clay, who also acted as a temporary foster, Corbin finally landed in Yarmouth, where a joyous reunion with the Ryder family took place.
A year and half after this beautiful reunion, Canadian Wings of Rescue got a heartwarming update from Corbin’s family. They shared that he’s a big cuddle enthusiast, a lap-warming champion, and a playful disruptor of family game nights.
Corbin’s story is a reminder that compassion for animals knows no bounds. It’s a testament to the kindness of strangers, the dedication of animal rescue organizations, volunteers and the unwavering bond between humans and their furry companions. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make Corbin’s journey home a reality!

#ThrowbackThursday to one of the most unforgettable journeys we’ve ever flown 💚🐾✈️

In Fall 2024, Winnie was rescued from a garbage can in Jamaica with a broken back. Thanks to a global network of animal lovers, including @montegobayanimalhaven , she made it all the way to Newfoundland — where she’s now living her best life and thriving. 

Her journey is a powerful reminder of what resilience and community can achieve. Her story continues to inspire us to believe in the goodness of strangers and the power of collective compassion.

Wildfires can spread fast — and when evacuation orders come, there’s often little time to gather what you need. That’s why having an animal emergency plan is just as important as having one for your family.

🧡 Here’s how to prepare:

✅ Pack a “go bag” with food, water, medications, ID tags, vet records, and a leash or carrier.
✅ Know where you’ll go — map out routes and look for animal-friendly shelters in advance.
✅ Microchip your pets and keep ID tags current.
✅ Practice loading animals into vehicles calmly.
✅ Follow official updates from the Manitoba Wildfire Service — evacuate early if needed.

At Canadian Wings of Rescue, we’re always ready to assist — but it’s the preparedness of pet owners and foster networks that makes rescues smoother and safer.
