‘I first saw Bijou on a Facebook group where her foster family had posted a write-up looking for someone to adopt her and honestly, I fell in love right away. When I brought her home I knew she was a special cat, always wanting to snuggle up and giving me headbutts right...

'We adopted Jaxx (formally Charlie) in September 2018. We adopted him because our previously adopted cat Slater needed a friend. He was the first kitten that we decided to meet and instantly fell in love. There was absolutely no other choice, but to bring him home and giv...

Every cat deserves a home. Please read the most incredible story of our friend Chowder, an emaciated, wounded stray who found his forever home with the most incredible family.

'We first came across Chowder on Pet Finder. He was the saddest looking little kitty we’d ever se...

Imagine a kitten so traumatized, that he shook from terror whenever a human approached him. A kitten so scared of the humans who had let him down, that his foster mom had to swaddle him in order to show him that he was safe. For Potato Chip, his Happily Ever After started...

If you met Snarfles today, you would have no idea of the tragic life he's lived. This darling, affectionate boy was sent around from foster to foster after being rescued from Hamilton Animal Control, before finally finding a more permanent foster home. He was dubbed "Snar...

Meet Hugo and Bea, a solidly bonded pair who were lucky to be adopted together from Team Cat Rescue three years ago. They were very different; Hugo was sweet and shy, but quick to hide from people - and especially wary of men. Bea was an extroverted lap cat, who greeted n...

Our favourite stories here at Team Cat Rescue are the ones in which the cats you think are least likely to trust and love their humans become total lovebugs. We've said it a million times before, but we see a lot of applicants shy away from cats all the time because they...

One of the saddest realities of working in rescue (aside from, you know, the thousands of animals abandoned and gassed every year), is that cats with special needs are regularly overlooked as being “difficult”, “expensive”, or “frustrating”. Physical and emotional issues,...

Working in cat rescue is a job full of roller-coaster emotion, and incredibly satisfying.

Here is one of the many reasons the people at Team Cat Rescue work so hard – the happy tale of a cat named Bing.

Bing was adopted into his forever home at the end of last year. His new...

Contrary to her grumpy-cat markings, Frankie (formerly Cherry Blossom), who was rescued from a hoarding situation, is a happy, affectionate cat who loves to follow her human mommy around!

There is nothing quite like the bond between a mother and her child. Luckily for us, these bonds need not be biological.

Emma came to us from Quebec, pregnant, and with a severe respiratory tract infection. Nevertheless, she managed to steal hearts even during her brief st...

Working in animal rescue is enormously rewarding, but too often we run into obstacles that just break our hearts. Some of the most frustrating are the general public’s response to superficial traits that they think make our fur friends “less adoptable” or “undesirable”.

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times: It’s easy to love the social, confident kitties. Of course it is. But there’s always something to be said for the ones that take some time. Their love, like anything worth having, takes patience and compromise. And som...

This Happy Tail is the story of Puffy. It’s a reminder of how adopting a cat can be a positive, healing experience – not just for the cat, but for you too. When you adopt a cat, you are giving a second chance and a new life to another creature. You are also embarking on a...

My name is Monster, well now it is, for a brief moment it was Stark and before that it was Kiko. But before all of those names I was nameless, homeless, living in the streets of Cairo Egypt with my mom and sister. But like most stories go there was a death and my sister a...
