About Us

Toronto Cat Rescue has been rescuing and rehoming cats and kittens for over 25 years.

A volunteer-powered charity, we save, treat, foster and re-home thousands of cats in critical need of help in Toronto, the GTA, and Kitchener-Waterloo.

Every cat deserves a home. We’re here to help them get there.


We’re here 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’s needed to make sure they’re as healthy as possible before adoption.

Your gift helps cover spay or neuter surgeries, vaccinations, extensive dental work, blood work, emergency surgeries, and more!

See all the ways
you can support us here.

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’re always looking for passionate, dedicated people wanting to make a positive change in the community.
