Our Mission

Our mission is to relieve animal suffering and distress by providing effective means to rescue, rehabilitate, re-home, and reduce the numbers of stray, injured, abandoned, abused, and neglected cats/kittens.

About STREET CATS-CAT RESCUE AND ADOPTION INC.

Street Cats Rescue is a non-profit organization with registered charity status serving Simcoe County and surrounding areas. We are staffed 100% by volunteers, receive no government funding and rely solely on fundraising, donations and community support to continue our work. All money raised goes directly back to the care and comfort of the cats i.e. veterinary bills, rent, heat, hydro, food, supplies, etc.

Street Cats Rescue has a "no kill" policy. We advocate humane euthanasia only for terminally ill animals and/or animals where quality of life has been severely compromised with no hope of improvement.

Street Cats consists of a physical shelter as well as a large network of foster homes. In both areas we utilize techniques and protocols that keep illness and stress levels to a minimum. We strive to get to know each cat's unique personality which makes finding the right adoptive home that much easier. All cats are vet checked, treated for parasites and illness as needed. Prior to adoption each cat is vaccinated, fixed and microchipped. We advocate pediatric spay/neuter so even kittens are fixed prior to adoption.

Our adoption screening process consists of an application/interview. Our adoption protocols are designed to "put the right cat into the right home." We are not driven by adoption numbers but rather we endeavour to ensure each adoption is the best possible fit for both the cat and the adopter.

Street Cats also advocates and practices TNR (trap, neuter, return) rescue methods for feral cats.
