Featured

TCRinfoProfile_2_facebookCat-lovers, bowlers and friends of our supports are coming together to raise money for Toronto Cat Rescue by bowling at our 9th Annual Bowl-A-Thon on May 25th19 fabulous teams will be participating, hoping to raise over $15,000 and break last years total.

Why are does TCR need the money?  We are a non-profit, 100% volunteer organization that does not receive government funding.  The money raised goes directly to helping cats in need… cats like:

- Salma, who was rescued from a hoarding situation with her babies.

- Roller who was saved from the mean streets, so he can have a forever home indoors.

- Ginger Rogers, who was rescued and in need of medical attention before being available for adoption.

Ace who was sitting on death row at a high-kill shelter.

- Mr Bojangles who, with the help of other rescues/shelters, needed a helping hand at finding happiness.  He will be available for adoption in a couple of weeks, but please click on his picture to read his story.

These cats need homes, please don’t leave them in the ‘alley’ all alone (to adopt call 416-538-8592, press #1)!  You may also donate with a note that it is for our “Bowl-A-Thon”. Thank you to all of our supports – we hope you have a fabulous time on Saturday!

Fun-Loving Polka Dot Seeks Forever or Foster Family!

Featured

polkadot2What a character Polka Dot is. He entertains everyone with his silly antics and playful nature. He often walks around the house with a toy ball in his mouth or spends his time chasing dust flecks in the air. He is currently seeking his forever home, or a single-cat foster home until he gets adopted!

Wherever he is and whatever is around him he can turn it into a game. Polka Dot is a happy boy who doesn’t appear to have a care in the world. When he is done with all of his playing, he also loves attention and will curl up in his foster mom’s lap to sleep while she watches TV. He rolls on his back for a belly rub and is fine to be picked up and cuddled. He has a cute little meow he makes when he wants attention. Polka Dot is a sweet boy with a gentle soul and a playful nature.

polkadot3He was rescued from outside along with his mom (Amber) and his siblings (who have all been adopted). It is Polka Dot’s turn to find his forever family. Polka Dot is Feline Leukemia Positive. Despite having the virus he is currently in good health, but most likely the Feline Leukemia virus could cause complications down the road. However, for now he is a engaging, stunning boy who deserves a proper chance to have a forever home. Although he does get along with other cats, he can only go to a home with other cats if they are also Feline Leukemia positive, as it is a contagious virus to cats only. He lives with big dogs and a child and he is fine with all of them. Polka Dot is a real show stopper and is guaranteed to make you fall in love with him.

In hopes of finding Polka Dot his purr-fect family, we are waiving our standard adoption fee of $175 for a donation of your choice.

Polka Dot was born July 30, 2012 and has been neutered and vaccinated.   To adopt, call us 416-538-8592, press #1 / email us:  tcr.adoptions@gmail.com / fill in our adoption online form on our Adopt A Cat page.  To foster (single-cat family please), fill in our Foster Application.
