YOU'RE INVITED TO SHAID'S KITTEN SHOWER!
Our Kitten Shower is underway and runs until April 30th—we’d love your support as we get ready for the many adorable kittens on the way! 🐾
Kitten season is one of our busiest times, and caring for these tiny ones takes a lot of supplies, including formula, bottles, blankets, toys, and cleaning items. Every donation helps us provide the care they need to grow strong and healthy.
This year, Pet Valu locations in Bridgewater, Chester, and Liverpool are supporting our Kitten Shower with in-store displays featuring the items we need most—be sure to stop by and take a look! We also have a dedicated Amazon wish list for our shower, linked below for your convenience.
If you’re able to contribute, we would be incredibly grateful. Your support makes a meaningful difference for the little paws arriving in our care. Thank you for helping us give them the best possible start in life!

MAKING A DIFFERENCE, ONE LIFE AT A TIME
Founded in 1986, SHAID Tree Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter dedicated to providing safe, compassionate care for animals in need. We offer a temporary haven for stray, abandoned, and surrendered pets—working tirelessly to match them with loving, responsible homes.
In 2025, together we were able to help 417 cats and dogs find safety, medical care, and-most importantly-hope. Every one of those animals represents a life changed because of compassion, generosity, and a shared belief that animals matter.
Every SHAID animal is fully vetted, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped. From the moment they arrive—no matter how sick or injured—we’re committed to providing the care they deserve.
Many of our animals also found comfort in foster homes, where they could heal and grow in a supportive environment before adoption—thanks to our incredible network of foster caregivers.
As a registered charity with no government funding, SHAID depends entirely on the generosity of our community. Your support powers every rescue, every surgery, and every happily-ever-after.
Thank you for helping us be a safe haven for animals in need!
Support SHAID and Win!
Our ongoing 50/50 fundraiser is a fun and meaningful way for Nova Scotia residents to support SHAID Tree Animal Shelter and possibly take home a big win. Since 1986, our no-kill shelter has provided a safe haven for stray, abandoned, and surrendered pets. In 2024 alone, we cared for more than 500 cats and kittens and nearly 30 dogs and puppies, ensuring each received the medical attention and love they deserved.
As a registered charity with no government funding, we rely entirely on community support. When you buy a 50/50 ticket, half the proceeds go to one lucky winner, and the other half directly supports the animals at SHAID. Tickets are available through the link below; if no raffle is currently active, be sure to check back next month.
Thank you for helping us give every animal a second chance!
Please note: Due to lottery regulations, the 50/50 raffle is open to Nova Scotia residents only.
