It is that time of the year; I am sure you have heard everyone saying this. The ‘moving day’ syndrome. Well I am sure you have heard of it, but let’s put things into reality.
At least 90% of cats in shelters at this time of the year are being euthanized. When I say cats, I mean kittens (regardless of how cute), pure breeds, regardless of temperament. They can sweet can be, and purring right up until the last minute. At this time of the year, there is not much to save them. The sad reality is, there is just not enough space. What kind of world d is this, where a life is terminated cue to ‘space’. This is the reality; there are too many and not enough resources for them.
Dogs are also in the same position; breed, sage, cuteness, all aside.
If you have ever considered fostering, adopting, or donating. Now is the time, lives are on the line. Anything and everything will help. Please talk about this with your friends, co-workers, and family members. Fostering SAVES LIVES, adopting SAVE LIVES. If you are unable to do either, spread the word, play your part. Be the change you want to see in the world. Together, we can do this, we can save these lives.

Cats and kittens; to keep things short. There are HUDNEREDS being euthanized DAILY. Unfortunately we do not have a list, as there are so many and have a high turn over. (are being euthanized with in 1 day or more, while many more come). Any breed, color, age, temperament you are interested, is sitting in a pound on death row right now.
ADOPT a pet, SAVE a life.
Don’t breed or buy while shelter pets die.
Duke (now named Oliver) was born to a stray mother outside with 5 other siblings. He was destine for a life on the streets and becoming feral. Thankfully we were contacted, and intercepted his fate along with his siblings and mother's. They were all placed in foster care to be socialized and the mother is sweet as can be. 
Hard to imagine this little angle face could have ever found himself homeless? We unfortunately pet abandonment in Montreal has no limits, not even cute little guys like Leon. He was dumped, found himself scared out of his mind in someones garage and then eventually with us. 
Bowser wound up in someone’s garage as a kitten and they occasionally gave him food, so he stayed around for 2 years! Finally 2 days before the elderly couple had to move into an old age home they realized the boxes were packed, couches wrapped in plastic, movers booked but wait, the cat in the garage? At least they remembered him. As they were seeking a cheap place to ‘dispose of him’ they did not want to pay veterinary euthanasia fees, and then came across Eleven Eleven Animal Rescue as a cheaper alternative to ‘dispose him’. Point being, he has been rather neglected for the first two years of his life, but now things have turned around for him and after 6 months in foster care he has finally found a family all to himself.
Cash arrived to us 5 months ago as an emergency 'dump' because his owner was ticketed for having 3 dogs in an apartment. He was only 6 months old, a pet store puppy impulse buy, scared out of his mind because he has no idea what happened to him that day. 
When we were told there is a terrier cross about to be euthanized... we did not expect to pick up this strange looking miniature hyena hybrid. Whiskey was a pet store impulse buy, is 8 months old, and until now spent around 20 hours a day in his crate. When the girl and her boyfriend broke up, Whiskey had no where to go and was on his way to be euthanized. He was rescued, and now in a safe foster home.. but is looking for a home as unique as he is :P
Walker is a 3 year old collie, hound, shepherd, god knows what else cross. He grew up in a home with over 40 other dogs, he was a victim of a hoarder. Because of this, he was left traumatized, unsocialized and is now a fully grown 3-year-old puppy that has a whole lot to learn about 'real life'.
