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!

Happy Air Traffic Controller Day!

Air traffic controllers are the unseen guides keeping our skies safe, coordinating aircraft movements, managing airspace, and ensuring pilots have what they need for safe flights.

Here at Canadian Wings of Rescue, we`re fortunate to have ATCs on our team through our volunteers who also act as our pilots! They bring expertise that helps us navigate complex airspace and coordinate rescue flights across the country for all of our beloved animals.

To all the air traffic controllers, thank you for keeping everyone safe up there. We`re happy to work with you on every important rescue.

This summer has been incredible for Canadian Wings of Rescue – we`ve completed over 25 life-saving transports across Canada. Whether flying animals to forever homes, urgent medical care, foster families, or safe shelters, each flight represents a critical lifeline for these precious souls.

Our deepest gratitude goes to the amazing volunteers who coordinate these transports, our rescue partners who trust us with their animals, the foster families who open their hearts and homes, and especially our volunteer pilots who donate their time, skills, and aircraft to make these rescues possible.

As we head into the colder months, our commitment doesn`t waver. Winter weather won`t ground our compassion! If you know of any animal in need of transport to safety, medical care, or a new beginning anywhere across Canada, please reach out.

Together, we`re bridging distances and saving lives, one flight at a time.
