Toronto Cat Rescue receives many calls each week from caring individuals who are hoping to help the stray cats or kittens in their neighbourhood. We have created the Stray Rescue Program to help find homes for healthy, social, adoptable stray cats and kittens.
Toronto Cat Rescue Stray Rescue Program allows you the use of our volunteers and our website to assist you in your efforts to find the cats you are caring for a new home. It is preferable that the cats or kittens stay with you in your home and be posted on our website, and affiliated websites (ie. PetFinder.com and Adopt-A-Pet). Toronto Cat Rescue adoption coordinators will recommend your cat(s) to suitable potential adopters.
Unfortunately, Toronto Cat Rescue can NOT help with trapping stray cats and/or provide foster homes for stray cats, as we just do not have enough foster homes. You can help by trapping and fostering the cats yourself. Please contact TCR for information and guidance on how to trap and sterilize stray cats in your neighbourhood.
For more information or to apply for this program please call 416-538-8592 (press #3) or email tcr.surrender@gmail.com. You will be asked to complete the Stray Rescue Application and email it to TCR. Thank you for taking the time to find these cats a new, safe, forever home. We will do all that we can to assist you.





Hello. I have found 2 Cats that are homeless. They have no owners. We need to find a cat shelter that will care for them and not abuse them. Can I give them to the Toronto cat rescue? They would have died without the help of my friends and I. We fed them real cat food and gave them a place to sleep. The problem is, I am allergic to cats, my friend owns a dog, and my other friend has 2 cats of her own and cannot care for the other two.thank you and please reply telling me if I can give them for you. Guys to care for them. Thank you
Thank you so much for helping the cats!! Please contact TCR’s Help With Cats line – 416-538-8592, press #3.
I have 2 beautiful cats which I am unable to care for anymore. Very loving .. They have both been spayed and vacinated. One is 8 months the other is 15 months. They are calico in color, one being a long hair the other a short hair. I would love to find homes for them
I have 2 incredibly friendly 5 year old male brothers. Because of my living situation I am unable to keep them. I’ve posted ads on ever website I could think of but, everyone only wanted 1 out of the 2…. I really don’t want to separate them. Anyone who knows these very special cats know that there not your average cats. If you can assist me in anyway I would be more then grateful.
Thank you,

I have a stray that I’m more than willing to adopt but he is unfixed, and I can’t afford to fix him, so I’d have to give him up. What should I do? I need of a christmas miracle…

Hi! I’ve been trying to find the caretakers of cats or colonies in the Toronto Portlands area. I live near there and often see cats and am thinking I could help, perhaps with relief feeding at least over the winter months. I see solo cats here and there and would like to know if they are already been cared for. Also, I see two adult cats — one black one torti, I think, though it’s hard to tell at night — near Commissioners St and Logan. There is a basic shelter there and a feeding station. I also just saw a post for a free large 2-cat shelter available for pick up that might be handy for these babies.
I’m in the midst of taking care of a small cat family near me, near Lakeshore and Booth. Not sure if I will be able to home them all —- working on it! But if they end up remaining in the area maybe we could trade off feeding care from time to time? Would love to hear from anyone who might have info about cats in the area.
