Food Assistance
Toronto Cat Rescue provides food to some food banks in Toronto. Whenever possible, we drop off cat and dog food at Weston Area Emergency Services, Fred Victor Shelter and OASIS Food Bank as well as other across the city when we can.
As a volunteer run program, all of our pet food is donated to us by members of the community and availability is limited to how much food we have received. We are only able to continue this program through donations. If you can contribute, please visit our donation page for more information.
Toronto Humane Society
The Toronto Humane Society operates a food bank intended for families facing short-term financial difficulties and not for the permanent or long term feeding of pets. We recommend calling the THS at (416) 392-2273 to confirm food availability before going to the shelter. You can learn more about their program here
The Daily Bread Food Bank
On occasion, the Daily Bread Food Bank may have pet food available. Please contact them directly for more information. www.dailybread.ca / 416-203-0050

Humane Society International
