As we wrap up 2025, our hearts are full. šŸ’› Every photo here tells a story of hope, cats rescued this year, healed, and welcomed into loving homes, all because of you.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible community. Because of your compassion, generosity, and unwavering support, countless cats have been rescued.

Whether you volunteered your time, fostered a cat in need, donated supplies or funds, shared our posts, or simply cheered us on, you made a real difference. Every life saved and every happy ending is a reflection of this communityā€™s kindness.

Thank you for being part of our rescue family. We canā€™t wait to see what weā€™ll accomplish together in the new year. šŸ¾ Hereā€™s to more rescues, more feline love, and more forever homes ahead. āœØ

Thank you for making 2025 unforgettable. šŸ±ā¤ļø

OUR LAST INTAKE OF 2025 - JACOB
Rescues collaborate to help animals in need and we are happy to take on this cat that Speak Up For Paws has finally been able to secure after tracking him for months after his owner abandoned him. Their support and help with Eggnog was invaluable, and now we can return the favor. As a direct result of our pleas for fosters for our orange boy we had multiple applications and have a foster happy to provide a foster home for Jacob. Thanks to Jackie, Melanie and Stephanie for their part in saving this boy and Line Animal Hospital for his emergency care.
The name Jacob means perseverance, determination and transformation. It suits him well.

We are not sure if we are asking too much as we have already had our Christmas miracle but here we are again. Hoping for another. Our cats stay with us for as long as it takes for their people to find them. Nessa's wonderful foster parents have an extended trip starting January 12th: It is our hope than rather than move her again her people find her before then and she makes one last move - forever.
It will be a special adopter that takes Nessa to her forever home.
AVAILABLE
Name: Nessa šŸ©·
Gender: Female
Breed: DSH
Approx. DOB: March 31, 2024
Good with cats: mildly
Good with dogs: yes (cat savvy dogs.
Good with kids: likely yes (older kids who understand Nessa's need for space).
FOSTER NOTES: Nessa is a gentle soul who is steadily shedding her shyness, and last week was no exception . One of her best days ever included a long stretch out in the open while I sat on the floor nearby. She explored, played, checked out the window, and then bravely made her way to my outstretched hand. She even followed me out of the room and onto the landingā€”an incredible leap of confidence.
As wonderful as that was, Nessa kept surprising us. This week she rubbed against my legs and allowed a full-body pat, calmly soaking in the affection. Then came the true Christmas miracle: today she walked down the stairs and investigated the bathroom while I was in there. Until now, downstairs exploration only happened at night. Hallelujahā€”Nessa is truly finding her courage.
If you believe you are a match and would like to meet her over Zoom and chat to her foster Mom please complete our application form contained in our pinned post.

Eggnog has some really great people in his corner.

A generous supporter has offered to match donations up to $1000!

He is scheduled for a dental at the end of the month and as we know that will be expensive.

Today two families have increased their feline population. Two cats, one a stray and the other poised for euthanasia have many years as a loved family member ahead of them
Bowie went home with Allison and Gloria to meet his new best friend, the cutest little void Toad and Billy travelled with James and Styne to meet resident squishy face cat Chip. Both families had realised that no matter how much they loved and spoiled their solo cats a feline friend was needed.
Congratulations and welcome to the new members of the OKR family and thank you to Audrey and Helen for welcoming these cats into their homes and treating them as their own.

Our sweet sweet boy Eggnog.

We want to once again thank everyone who made this rescue mission possible šŸ©·

And to the people that support OKR, thank you for all the kind words, shares, donations etc.

This boy is ALIVE today because we are able to save him, and we are just so so grateful for this.

Believe it or not, we are still getting hate on his last post. Why do people hate us for helping this cat? They are blocked and we are not giving negative people the time.

Merry Christmas to all the nice folks out there ā¤ļø

Eggnog has been secured! Freedom drivers were off until the new year (they deserve the rest). Theresa drove 2.5 hours to pick him up in Quebec.

Huge thank you to Jackie for sorting all of this out today. Setting up transport, a dental appointment for him in Jan and getting him a soft landing place with Stephanie.

Rescue proved to be hard with public criticism when people failed to read our post.

But the rescue community is incredible. This boy will sleep in a warm bed with a full belly tonight.

We will need donations for this boy to help cover his dental and neuter.

We will be posting an update soon about Eggnog, the ginger kitty, being pulled from the shelter. The comment section beat down our spirits for trying to do a good thing. People need to gain critical thinking skills before commenting.

People unable to read and then attack us, the ones trying to save this cat. Iā€™ve lost so much hope in humanity from that comment section.

Yet all those folks never offered to foster, donate or even transport this cat. But weā€™re the bad guys for trying to save this cat from euthanasia. Make it make sense.

Thank you to all the folks that love our rescue and support us. You all make doing this hard job worth it.

Be kind to each other, and maybe read before jumping to crazy conclusions.

We have been dealing with this a lot lately and itā€™s becoming incredibly frustrating. READ THE POST PEOPLE.

We are trying to pull him from the shelter in Quebec where he is on the euthanasia list - WE DONT HAVE HIM IN CARE.

Itā€™s incredibly concerning the amount of people who donā€™t read the post and accuse us of killing innocent animals when we are the ones doing the work to actually try to save him. Itā€™s disheartening.

You donā€™t like that this is happening, apply to foster! Donate towards his vet care. Do something other than sitting behind your phones and calling us murderers.

Stop sh****ng on the people actually trying to help this cat.

Bah humbug!

ā€¼ļø scheduled for euthanasia tomorrow

We are desperately searching for a foster home for this 2 year old boy. Really hoping for a Christmas miracle.

This 2 year old boy found himself in shelter and is set to be euthanized tomorrow. He snap tested positive for felv but that has never stopped us before. Once in care with would do an actual blood test to see actual diagnosis.

He is so sweet and we donā€™t want him to die. Do you think you could foster? If you have Felv vaccinated cats or donā€™t currently have any cats in the home we would love to give this sweet boy a chance at a beautiful life

To literally save his life, please fill out our foster app https://forms.gle/HQd7diG4192RtmtAA

He is set for euthanasia tomorrow.

We know this is a big ask, but we know someone is his guardian angel šŸ„ŗ

Paula and Lilly are the best of friends and are probably united in complaining that Mom insisted they wear their best xmas sweaters. We love family photos.

Ottawa Kitten Rescue

We welcome you all in support of our new feline rescue, Ottawa Kitten Rescue. For those that know us, it comes as no surprise that we would join forces to save the lives of kittens and cats in need.

Given we both have such a strong passion for helping animals, we felt there no better way to honour this passion than to start a rescue. And so, we introduce, with so much love and excitement in our hearts: Ottawa Kitten Rescue.

Ottawa Kitten Rescue will focus its efforts primarily on rescuing abandoned neonatal kittens and will extend care and support to pregnant cats and moms with kittens.

We would like to thank everyone for their support in our efforts and we canā€™t wait to begin this journey with you allā¤ļø
