Merritt Mountie working hard to reunite pets with flood evacuees

Pet detective working flood

Merritt has its very own pet detective.

Const. David Feller of the Merritt RCMP has been saving pets from homes in evacuated areas.

In a news release, police said Feller has been working double-duty to reunite pets with families displaced by floods in between his regular police duties.

The Coldwater River spilled its banks in Merritt on Nov. 14. Since then, Feller and Merritt Mounties have been rescuing birds, cats, lizards and hamsters, among other duties keeping the community safe.

Feller reached out to residents through his own social media account and provided his personal contact information for anyone whose animals needed help.

The Merritt detachment said it's received donations of animal food and supplies from local businesses.

Anyone requiring help for their animals or for questions about the evacuation order are encouraged to call Merritt RCMP at 250-378-4262.
