Dimitri3Cats (like Dimitri) will be be waiting to meet you at Muddy Paws in the Guild in Scarborough on Saturday, December 22nd from 10am – 4pm! This event will be featuring adult cats only at a reduced fee of $100.00!

Adult cats come with many perks: They are much less work than kittens, their personalities are fully developed so finding a match for your lifestyle is easier. PLUS, after a longer stay in foster care, adult cats are very grateful to have a home and a family. Everyone wants to adopt the cute kittens. Give one of our adult cats the best Christmas present ever – a forever home!

Our adoption fee ensures that the cats that come into our care receive the medical attention they need, are spayed or neutered, vaccinated (and receive a rabies vaccination if age appropriate). Our fee also includes 6 weeks of free pet insurance.

June 2011 to June 2012 was a very busy year for Toronto Cat Rescue, highlights include:

- 1,587 kitties found their forever homes via Toronto Cat Rescue in 2011!

- We found homes for a few cats that had been in foster care for over two years! Finally seeing them get adopted was extremely exciting. We also saw many special needs and senior cats find their forever homes.

- We reached out to 8 new feral cat colonies and began trap-neuter-return strategies.

- We welcomed more than one hundred new volunteers who are integral in placing more cats in loving forever homes.

- We added several new affiliated pet stores, all together providing even more space and exposure than before for our many adoptable cats.

- We had more adopt-a-thons than ever, in both new and existing affiliated pet stores across the GTA!

- One of our biggest fundraisers, our annual Bowl-A-Thon changed locations and grew exponentially.

In-Store Adopt-A-Thon Screeners

Holly is waiting at Pet Uno to meet you!

We are planning to have an *Adopt-a-thon Screener Training Session* on Thursday June 21 at 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Pet Uno . This is intended to train those who are interested in learning to screen potential adopters at TCR adopt-a-thons.  We have adopt-a-thons throughout the year at our partner store locations (Torontom Mississauga, Vaughan, Brampton and Kitchener). We are always looking for volunteers to help with setting up and with screening potential adopters. As a new screener, you would be paired up with a ‘seasoned’ screener who could help to show you the ropes until you are comfortable doing it on your own.
