Canadian Avalanche Rescue Cat Association
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
CARCA has been hard at work since Steve Ruskay first decided to stand up to the dog dominated establishment. We now have teams on 4 continents and coverage in most of the major mountain ranges with more teams being activated as fast as we can train them. With demand for Feline rescue teams at an all-time high we thought it would be a good time to look back at our humble beginnings and remind ourselves what is possible when you combine vision and passion.

Truly inspiring! Thank you for your service, Search Cat Tim. ❤
Came across this when searching for avalanche rescue videos and it took me almost 2 minutes to realize what the eff was going on 😂 10/10. Will be recommending and cant believe I've never seen this before!
I had the privilege of meeting this legend once.
I must admit, I shed a few tears watching this. Ignore the haters. It's a beautiful thing when humans and animals come together like this. These men and their cats are true heroes, and it gives me hope for the future of the human race. Thank you.

SpiralBlue cats are worthless
Saw this video for the first time at the Banff Film Festival at Cal Tech. That was a couple years ago and I'm still telling people about it. We tease our cats- "you want to be a CARCA kitty?" Very funny, very clever! Thanks for the laughs!
This is why Canadian ski clothing like Arcteryx includes not just Recco reflectors but also little pouches of catnip
Had me going right up to the avalanche cannon! Loved the imagination and story line.
I will stick with my Avalanche Poodle, thank you very much.
As a former cat operator or shall I say groomer from Lake Louise and Marmot and a cat lover, I say very very funny.
The only reason I know of this video's existence is because my middle school film teacher helped make it Correction: he wrote, filmed, directed, and produced it
When the guy said the cat can search much quicker than a dog in a football field with the growling of the cat, I knew an attack was going to happen to him! I knew this could NOT possibly be real. Funny video
This video is absolutely great!! We have been sharing it in our Spanish list since we found it, some years ago. Now we still love sharing it from time to time. Of course in our special " Holy Innocents' Day" ;-)
🐱You have successfully entertained both me and my cat. Yes, he sat watching this with me.
LOL, loved the Rapid cat deployment technology !
This is hilarious. Great video, good job. This is definitely viral material.
I think those red dot laser thingies should be added to the standard safety wear for all skiers. It would give the cats something else to home in on. Also, maybe roll yourself in smelt before skiing? The particular fish odour you chose could rapidly become a fashion statement (Dude, swordfish, really? That's, like, not even last season, dude. You ride ahead.)
Cat cannon is genius, they always land on their feet, hahah
How pissed is that cat
I was watching this while i had 3 sleeping people around me......they are all awake now because i started laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂
I saw this originally saw this 8 years ago. Just watched it again. Funnier now. Really good job. Hilarious.
amazing video! I remember seeing this before it came out on youtube and to the Film festival and finally after like a year its on!
You are so funny, I love some Canadian humour! Your winter seasons must be lost of fun!... maybe see you guys at the ISSW next year!
I haven't laughed so hard in ages! Cat cannon!
Keep up the good work guys, I believe in you guys and cats #joke
Out of the way! I got Tim guys! It's all good. :3
He’s a cutie. The rescue cat and the trainer.
I love it!
Even my malamute approves! (Hey, anything that lets him keep sleeping on the sofa is aces with him!)
Awesome! I can't wait to put my cat in training.
Is it wrong that I now want to move to Canada with my cat and get her a job?
Next time you go skiing, don't forget to get some whiskas to increase your chances of surviving in an avalanche.
❤...and cat whiskers sensing movement. 🐈 🐈⬛️ cat kitten🐅 🧶
Did kitty survive the blast? Very funny, I laughed so hard!. Great to see you are thinking "outside the box" and saving lives! I liked your video.

Hey CARCA, I recently saw a video on the use of wolverines in avalanche rescue. Do you think there could be potential for a cat and wolverine rescue coalition? I could see utilizing a wolverine as a sort of live cat deployment mechanism being highly effective. This could potentially be useful at backcountry lodges or within the highways control department couldn't it? Thanks for all your hard work in developing feline heroes to keep the mountains safe!

@@kademasterson9705 no way!! Avalanche technicians all over the World have had to use what they have, and in Fernie (British Columbia, Canada) they have a long history of using service cats. Search and rescue teams in the Andes mountains have been employing teams of tactically trained Pumas for...some time now. Not to forgotten are the storied Avalanche Camels of the Turkish alpine destinations in Uludag Ski Resort, Bursa · Erciyes Ski Resort, Kayseri · Palandoken Ski Resort, Erzurum · AND Sarikamis Ski Resort, Kars. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, but sometimes the truth is stranger than you’d expect. I’ve heard that Whitewater has a team of Maine Coon cats at the ready, it’s great to see that these incredible animals get the recognition they deserve as life savers.

Yes, that was tested out once, but all the cats got eaten.
"Loading cat" 🤣
An attention-grabbing spoof video, I'd say. It's pretty sad that some people below take this literally. That said, thanks to the committed people who do the avalanche safety and rescue work.
well, maybe not a cannon but.. a drone deployment kit would be awesome :)
Omg !!!! 😺😺 hilarious
lol @ "rapid cat deployment"
Cuzzzzzzz you’re a creative genius, a true visionary a gentlemen and a scholar !!! I just remembered this video and sent to Jenna and Brody - beyond hilarious miss you sooooo much let’s talk soon pleeeeeease love youuuuuu #carcaclique #clubyellowstone4life xoxo ~J

Love it. What did you do to that cat to piss him off like that?
Awesome! :)
When are we getting more?
Omg! That was really funny guys.
Meow that's impressive
LOL, that was awesome!
Is it only Canada and Scandinavia that have avalanche cats?
Except for Snowflake at the begining, those Canadian cats are pretty mellow, eh? Have you seen Gary the Cat?
And... a portable "cat scan"
my film teacher made this its great
Very funny and well done guys.I started a program with pigs to save drowning victims... It didn't work out well though...
7:36 I died
2:37 That cat kept telling him "stop petting me" over and over but he didn't stop. So he got what was coming to him. Everyone knows you can train a cat, no way, no how. Look at 5:11, that cat hasn't a clue what is going on. He was't it's bed and a fire.
That's one pissed off cat!
Amazing
I refuse to ski with a piece of salmon on my jacket just so a Rescue Cat can find my body. Magpies might attack me on the lift! Just no way! I could carry peanuts so if you guys train squirrels.....
This would actually work if every avalanche victim carried tuna.
awesome
fun and thank you!
how do I train my cat like this? i think my cat had potential to be CARCA material.
The latest in avalanche rescue techniques...
Is this real?
Why don't you get a kitty backpack for him?
My cat slept through the whole show. Lazy cat. She's 24.
Haha well done !
wtf happened towards the end !
you guys realize that the canon is fake.... right?
❤❤❤ by indonesia
Yo im all for this but the main coo. I have one there perfect for snowy enviroments they have very thick fur and thick padded feet there built for snow i would look into it carca if you read this
hello? anybody here? I've been stuck in the snow for 7 years. can anyone help me!
OMG!
polar panthers are real on av
Hilarious 😂🤣😂🤣
hilarious!!!
Can’t tell if this was a joke or not
Wow
Pffft cats a paid actor
He's my teacher
😂😂😂 great video. Can someone tell me if the cat in the cannon was real? I hope to God it wasnt.
Is the cat that was shot by the cannon thing real?!?!

Cannon cat could benefit from a discarding sabot.
Absolutely genius! Wondering if you could train my 2 cats as we are experiencing an overabundance of snowfall...also I have a parrot you might be interested in training also. ..feel free to contact me at your convenience. pmpl0007
I love this!!! But I can't quite tell if this is real. I love my cat and he's smart but I wouldn't rely on him wanting to find me. Update: the end answered my question.....
What have I just watched 🤣
OMG lol
what! kiki show you fur real
ha ha. that was stupid. but entertaining. At least the pro patrol dude was hot
I am indicating hahahaha
I would just be a little happier to see a dog rescue me than a cat I just feel like a dog would be faster the dogs don't have to be on a leash the cat just looked really uncomfortable as well
Obviously this is old school. The latest evolution in rescue animals is the "avi clam". Just throw them out on the debris field and stand back.
Yeah I hope that was photo shopped hope that didn’t really happen
No can do just ask my dead
Good work, eh?
LOL
Unfortunately some TilTok dummies will launch a real cat like a pumpkin.
Somebody please tell me this is a joke
Hooman, why you do dis??? What is this white, cold, water stuff??
Stupid people you have a either nervous or mad cat I laughed when the cat attacked him
La fin et con le chat dans un canon es que ces drole non
i dont understand why u 'send away' the cat with the 'canon gun'? how could u...i just not feel good hear his scream...
