Annex Cat RescueLocation: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
About Annex Cat Rescue.Annex Cat Rescue began in 1997 as a group of volunteers living primarily in the Annex neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada but have grown to include members throughout the city. We are a 100% volunteer run, not for profit registered charity (871653945 RR0001), with no office or shelter, and receive no government funding. How to Help.Adopting.Please contact us if you are thinking of adopting a cat or kitten. Annex Cat Rescue has matched over 2000 cats and kittens with good adoptive homes since our group started.
The Annex Cat Rescue’s motto is “Cat Adoption with a Difference.” If the adoption does not work out (a rare occurrence, in part due to our excellent “match-making”!), whatever the reason, the cat will always be welcomed back to our organization. We want the best for our kitties! Adoption Email: adoption@annexcatrescue.ca Volunteer. As a 100% Volunteer run organization with no office or shelter, the success of Annex Cat Rescue depends on the dedication of our volunteers — not just the foster homes, feral colony feeders and trappers who work hands-on, but also those who support ACR’s rescue work behind-the-scenes. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in becoming a volunteer, or expanding your work within the organization, please e-mail us or apply online.Here are some ways you can help. Our experienced volunteers are always there to support you, and even a few hours of your time every month can make a big difference.
More information can be found on the website. Volunteer Email: volunteer@annexcatrescue.ca Fostering.Since the Annex Cat Rescue does not have an animal shelter, we use a network of foster homes to nurture, socialize, provide companionship, love, respect and temporary shelter for our kittens and cats on their journey to finding forever homes. Our foster parents pay for the food and other basic necessities, for which they can receive charitable tax receipts; ACR pays all medical expenses. Foster homes must also be comfortable about having potential adopters visit their cats, at a mutually convenient time. Fostering Email: fostering@annexcatrescue.ca |

Abandoned and feral cats are a community problem. Community groups like ours, as well as bringing people together, contribute to solving that problem. By spaying/neutering and adopting out these cats, and by educating our neighbours about responsible pet ownership, we can: |
Since humans originally domesticated small wild cat species for our own purposes, we believe that we are now responsible for their care and well-being. Contact: ferals@annexcatrescue.ca
