Join the adventure.
With very difficult avalanche conditions occurring throughout the world this season, C.A.R.C.A. is looking to expand its operations. The proven success of our program has led to a heavy demand for our services throughout the globe and we are working very hard meet that demand. Therefore C.A.R.C.A. has initiated a Level 1 Avy-Cat program to as the world’s first certification program for cats to be trained in advanced feline based search and rescue techniques. The goal of this program is to ensure the high level of effectiveness and professionalism established by C.A.R.C.A. is consistent while providing the greatest level of safety for outdoor enthusiasts.

Thank you

Just saw your film tonight @ Fort Worth Texas. It made my night! I’ve decided to let me two cats to join the program! lol
Our cat loves to party, plus he loves the snow and is interested in joining CARCA. Mittens was wondering about CARCA’s drug policy and if feline applicants would have to submit a urine sample?
Just saw the video – great – I will round up all the strays in and around Edmonton and ship them – OK ?
Great Program, helping to save lives. Keith, Hemlock mountain patrol
With you 110% until the cat got shot of the cannon. Had to be traumatic and stress on muscles, nerves, and emotions. Shame!! May he use your bed for a litterbox.
My 14 year-young tabby Uno is catnip-crazy over this program, packed and ready to go with a season’s supply of freeze-dried mice to be hid in the woods for search and rescue practice in between avalanches, but she would like to know if C.A.R.C.A. gives special consideration to candidates with polydactile toes? She claims she can shovel deeper and faster than most other felines, and that raises the recovery efficiency ratio. I wasn’t fully convinced until I went into the garage to grab a shovel to dig my stuck car out of the driveway. By the time I got back, she had power-dug it free. We will complete the application and look forward to further talks with you on becoming part of the team.
Does Whistler Blackcomb ski area have a chapter?
If not I will volunteer to start a chapter at Whistler for the safety of the backcountry user.
