Our Bowl-A-Thon ‘Alley’ Cats

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!
