Our Mission

We rescue cats needing homes, provide vet treatment, and rehome. We have a special interest in senior cats who were abandoned but have quality time ahead with vet care. We set up, assist, and support long-term foster homes with seniors or disabled people who are able to care for cats but could not afford a pet otherwise. Many cats we take in would have been euthanized due to their medical or behavioral issues if we had not taken them.  Our main focus is on helping seniors have permanently fostered companion cats which greatly increases their well-being and happiness and provides very loving homes for cats. 

About Helping Homeless Cats of Greater Victoria Society

Our rescue organization is run entirely by volunteers with no paid employees. Administrative expenses are usually less than 2% of money we take in. We have some fundraising activities but depend heavily on donations to support the cats in care and can only rescue more cats when funds allow. Because we take special cases, our vet bills are high and we are always in need of donations. We are grateful for all help which makes a huge difference to the number of kitty lives we can save. Over 98% of the donations go directly to food, supplies, and medical care for our cats (see the CRA website). We also support long term "permanent" senior foster homes and take the cats back when the person can no longer care for the cat.
