Toronto Cat Rescue
Toronto Cat Rescue: A no-kill, all-volunteer group working with the public to promote individual responsibility for animal welfare.

TCR is the Greater Toronto area's largest all-volunteer cat rescue organization with approximately 200 volunteer members, and an average of 400-500 cats in foster homes and adoption centers. TCR was voted “Rescue Group of the Year” in 2009 by Purina and was featured in the 2009 documentary Cat City by Justine Pimlott. None of our members including the executive are paid for the many hours they devote to animal welfare. All of our programs rely on money raised through fundraising and adoptions as well as generous donations by animal lovers. In addition to rescuing cats from situations of impending euthanasia, abandonment, and the harsh reality of living as strays, TCR tackles the feline overpopulation problem in southern Ontario by executing a Trap-Neuter-Return program for feral cat colonies, where un-adoptable cats are sterilized and returned, thus preventing future unwanted kittens from being born. TCR also works tirelessly to educate and empower the public to tackle overpopulation in their communities.
