Binky
The Invermere Companion Animal Network (ICAN) is an all volunteer-run, no-kill shelter based in Invermere, BC.
ICAN takes in cats and kittens, owner surrendered dogs and small animals. We attend to their veterinary needs, including spay and neuter, and any special care required to place them in to loving forever homes.
Please call us at 250-341-7888 to discuss options regarding dogs and small animals and to arrange a time to visit our amazing companions for adoption!
ICAN has registered charity status and depends on your generosity to help animals in the Invermere area.
You can donate online, in person or by mail.
Volunteer Opportunities
Please let us know if you are interested in volunteering and joining the team! We have a number of volunteering opportunities available under the how can you help page.
"On the Wall" Perches and Custom Built Cat Posts

Price is $80 which includes installation.

Featured Companion
Elsa
Little Elsa is such a gentle girl. She adores belly rubs and lap time, but she is a very shy kitty who will take time to adjust to new surroundings and people. Elsa does not like dogs or children, but she absolutely loves other cats and would do best in a new home with a feline friend. If you want a cat that will make you work for it at the beginning but will give you endless rewards for years to come, Elsa just may be your girl!
