Cats purr because they're happy.
It's a signal that they feel calm and in a safe environment. But unfortunately that’s not the only reason. It may be showing that they are scared, or stressed. We want to change that. Can you help us make only happy purrs?

The 18th Annual Bowl-a-thon is back!
Our community comes together every year for a fun afternoon of bowling, prizes, pizza and photo ops (with not-so-optional tails and ears!). Last year, we raised $30,000 for the cats! How awesome is that! This year, with your help once again, we hope to raise at least that amount and if we can, stretch it a little more. Join the fun!

Supported by a legion of volunteers, we foster, treat and find permanent homes for thousands of cats in critical need of help in Toronto, the GTA, and Kitchener-Waterloo.

Looking for Volunteers!
We have a number of volunteer roles that we are currently recruiting for. One of them is for our Adoption Counsellor team. If you are interested in finding cats and kittens new homes and love interacting with the public this is the role for you! You can find more information about this and all of our roles at the Learn More below
We fight every day of every year to rescue and find homes for abandoned, sick or injured cats. And to do that, we rely on the donations of supporters like you! Every cat in our care is given whatever they need to make sure they are as healthy as possible before adoption. Your gift will help cover spay or neuter surgeries, vaccinations, extensive dental work, bloodwork or emergency surgeries as necessary.

VOLUNTEER
Rescuing and rehoming thousands of cats every year takes hundreds of volunteers working alongside our staff leadership. We offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities to engage and inspire you. We are looking for passionate, dedicated people wanting to make a positive change in our community.
Toronto Cat Rescue is situated on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and on the Haldimand Tract of the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, Wendat, Neutral and Anishinaabeg peoples. We acknowledge this is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit and Kitchener-Waterloo is covered by the Haldimand Treaty of 1784 belonging to the Six Nations of the Grand River. Volunteers of Toronto Cat Rescue live and conduct Toronto Cat Rescue work on many traditional territories throughout Turtle Island.
