Other TCR Initiatives

 

OWNER SURRENDER PROGRAM

Toronto Cat Rescue receives many calls daily from owners asking us to take in their family pets, which for various reasons they no longer are able to keep.  Our solution is the Owner Surrender Program.  If your cat is healthy, social and adoptable, we can provide assistance in finding homes for these loved pets and friendly strays through our website.

The Toronto Cat Rescue Owner Surrender Program will allow you the use of our volunteers and our website to assist you in your efforts to find your cat a new home. Your cat will remain with you in your home and be posted on the Available Cats section of our website. Toronto Cat Rescue adoption coordinators will recommend your cat to suitable potential adopters.  For detailed information and to apply for this program please call the number below. Thank you for taking the time to find your cat a new, safe, forever home. We will do all that we can to assist you.

For more information call the TCR Hotline 416-538-8592 (press #3).  You will be referred to our Owner Surrender Coordinator. 

You will be asked to complete the Owner Surrender Application form and email it to TCR.

TRAP - NEUTER/SPAY - RELEASE: THE FERAL CAT SITUATION

All cat lovers have seen this: the dirty and unapproachable cat prowling in your garbage, the scrawny female cat who continues to have litters of kittens in your shed, but will not let you get anywhere near her.

These are usually feral cats; cats that may have once been domestic, and turned wild to survive, or cats who were actually born wild. They are definitely not your typical friendly kitty cat! They do, however, multiply at an alarming rate, and lead miserable lives which end with slow starvation, sickness, or freezing to death. Some communities find them a problem, and want to be rid of them, and other people show their concern by feeding them. It is not enough to just feed them; these cats must be spayed and neutered so that they no longer reproduce more sick and hungry kittens. Toronto Cat Rescue can help you help these cats. Our Stray/Feral Program provides you with information and knowledge on how to work with feral cats. 

For more information call the TCR Hotline 416-538-8592 (press #3).  We may be able to provide assistance and/or advice to help you to help the feral kitties in your neighbourhood.
