Early Bird Special: True story: The Canadian Avalanche Rescue Cat Association is now acceptingapplicants for “a network of highly efficient avalanche search and rescue cat teams across Canada.” Upon submission, CARCA will “review you and your cat’s suitability for our extensive and rigourous program.” But how can cats help in an avalanche, you ask? A documentary has been released to give would-be rescue cats (and their humans) an idea of what the program entails.

Only outdoor cats need apply.
