Getting animals to where they need to be isn`t always as simple as finding them a rescue. Sometimes, it takes a little more help to get them there which is where we come in!
These 13 felines from @NP_forgottenfelinessociety were headed south to @HeartandSoulDogandCatRescue in B.C., and pilot Matthew generously donated his time, aircraft and experience to make the journey possible.
For these cats and kittens, the flight means more than a change of scenery. It means a fresh start, a chance to find their people, and the possibility of a home where they`re safe, loved and very much wanted.
13 new stories are about to begin.
A huge thank you to Matthew and his wife Yvonne for giving these little travellers a lift, and to both rescue organizations for the care and commitment that got them this far.
Thirteen passengers. A whole lot of possibility. And 13 more reasons we never stop flying.

One small passenger. A lot of caring people. One very busy day.
This owl needed to get from Moosonee to Niagara, ON, and making that happen took people across the province, all showing up for the same reason: to give him a chance.
Pilot @Isaiah.Frazao volunteered for the flight from Moosonee, while @TheOwlFoundation team coordinated the transfer on the ground. Corine got the owl to the airport, Bruce was waiting in Niagara to receive him, and our CWoR team helped coordinate the flight and care details along the way.
Once safely transferred to The Owl Foundation, the owl was assessed and found to be underdeveloped and underweight for his age, confirming how important it was to get him to specialized care.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this flight happen. Because of you, this owl made it to the people best equipped to help.

Shorter rescue flights can still make a life-changing difference.
This recent transport took three raptors from Sudbury to Niagara, connecting @TurtlePondWildlifeCentre with @TheOwlFoundation, where the birds could receive the specialized care they needed.
Volunteer pilot @Shawnhuelin made the flight, spending about six hours in the air to help move these birds safely to their next stop. His reaction says it all:
βThis has to be the coolest thing Iβve done with my pilotβs licence.β
For pilots looking to get involved, this mission is a great reminder that many Canadian Wings of Rescue flights are shorter-haul transports that can fit into your regular flying routine while still making a real impact for animals in need.

Some rescue flights come together quickly. Others take weeks of coordination, patience, and a whole lot of people refusing to give up.
This transport was one of those missions.
After navigating challenging weather and wildfire conditions, volunteer pilot Walter, part of @nwflyingorg was finally wings up this summer, helping transport over a dozen cats and kittens from northern British Columbia to the Vancouver area.
Working alongside @NP_ForgottenFelinesSociety, @Katiesplaceshelter, @HeartandSoulDogandCatRescue, and @IntegrityFlightSupport at @CYPK.tower, this flight helped connect these cats and kittens with the next step in their rescue journey.
A rescue like this is never just one flight. It is the sending rescue preparing animals for travel, receiving rescues making space, airport and flight support teams helping along the way, and volunteers working behind the scenes to make the timing, safety, and logistics all come together.
At the heart of it all were 13 small lives, and a network of people determined to help them get where they needed to go.

POV: youβre Cassie & Tino and your Uber just happens to be a private plane.
Two pups. Three airports. A whole lot of people saying, βYep, weβll get them there.β
Cassie & Tino made their way from Thompson, MB β Winnipeg β Thunder Bay, ON β London, with the most incredible relay crew behind them. @Georgegavrailoff and @tangotangomango volunteer CWoR pilots worked together with our transport coordinators and partners to make it happen.
Big thanks to @Thompson_HumaneSociety and @Pawsitively.Furever for trusting this journey.
And to the aviation legends who helped make the runway magic happen: @flyFastair, Skyfill and Fliteline Services.
This is what happens when rescue people + pilots + good humans decide that βthere has to be a wayβ actually means find a way.
Cassie & Tino? Theyβre officially cleared for takeoff on their next chapter.

Sometimes animal rescue takes a whole runway of people.
This transport was a reminder that helping animals is never just one person, one organization, or one flight. It is a community of people stepping up at exactly the right time.
When orphaned trumpeter swan cygnets in northwestern Ontario needed specialized care, people across the province came together to help move them safely from Thunder Bay to southern Ontario.
Volunteer pilot @Isaiah.Frazao and his crew flew the young swans, working alongside @thunderbirdwildlife, @ShadesofHopeWildlifeRefuge, airport teams, flight support services, and people on the ground who helped make the mission possible.
A special thank you to Isaiah, the team at @KenoraAirport, Roy for generously covering the cost of fuel, @NAVCANADA.ca Flight Services, London Flight Information Centre, and everyone who played a role behind the scenes.
From route support to check-ins along the way, this was a true team effort.
At the heart of it all were animals who needed a chance, and a network of people who refused to let distance stand in the way.

Working alongside the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre @OntarioTurtleCC, volunteer pilot @Isaiah.Frazao recently helped transport injured turtles to receive the specialized care they need, avoiding a more than 20-hour drive from where they were found.
The Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre saves thousands of turtles every year, and we`re proud to support their incredible work by helping these patients get there safely and quickly.
Congratulations to Isaiah on his first flight with us, and thank you for helping make a difference for Canada`s wildlife! π

After falling from their nest and sustaining injuries, these two young owls needed specialized care that only @TheOwlFoundation can provide. Thanks to our volunteer pilot Maciej @tangotangomango, they were safely flown from our sending rescue partner Thunderbird Wildlife @thunderbirdwildlife to the Foundation.
This is a great example of how wildlife rescue is truly a team effort. π We regularly work with partners to transport injured raptors and other wildlife to make sure they can access the specialized care that gives them the best chance of recovery.
Thank you to everyone involved in making these life-saving journeys possible!
