Vanier Street Cats-The Foundation to Furever

Vanier Street Cats-The Foundation to Furever Building Foundations for local Rescues and Pet Owners in Need. Changing the world together Furever for Pets. We are not a rescue. We fund the gaps.

Vanier Street Cats is the home of the Rescues in Need Foundation. We are the support system that keeps Ottawa’s rescue community moving. Our work focuses on three core areas:
✔️ Helping local pet owners keep their animals through direct support and resources.
✔️ Supporting local rescues by funding critical overhead costs like transport, logistics, and volunteer expenses.
✔️ Backing up volunteers w

ith the financial help they need to keep going. When no one else can move the work forward, we do. We manage the chaos. We build the infrastructure that makes local rescue sustainable—so the people saving animals don’t burn out and the animals aren’t left waiting. We’re starting in Ottawa. And this is where rescue support begins.

I am transitioning to the Rescues in Need page for local rescue as the Vanier Street Cats are officially now sanctuary. Old age means I can't do what I could before but I can still look after cats.

However now you can help local rescues with a small donation every month I plan to draw and one half stays to cover monthly expenses the other goes to another local animal rescue YOU CHOOSE!

You will win a courtesy prize we make stickers and all kinds of neat things now so we would love it if you can help us to help other rescues too, its my dream come true.

Please $5 can help raise funds for the Vanier Street Cats and other local area rescues that you choose to support.

Since the cyber attacks I have been wary about the use of our community page.

Please feel free to contact me on my personal page if you don't get a reply as I have been working more with the community and on the Rescues in Need - Ottawa page as well as the retail pages that I was supposed to launch when we were brutally hacked by whomever the people are that do not want us to find alternatives to begging.

Thank you for everything you do and to ensure that I keep my security and my outreach tight please contact me on my own page if you are having trouble getting a reply on this one.

I truly want to see a vet with my little guy but for some reason we can't seem to find donations.

Debit transfer: [email protected]

Thank you for caring and for helping me to look after Courage.

I have found a new vet I hope wont want to put my disabled Courage to sleep. However not only does he need vet funds he needs CLEAN Blankets a couple of new cat beds and lots of blankets and sheets.

We are desperate for puppy pads and for the things that he eats which is Fancy Feast Pate becasue courage can't drink water he gets a syringe full that is a big syrine to suckle on and we add water to his wet food but recently he's been having trouble with his legs and so I need to find socks for him that will cover his legs.

Courage means the world to me, this month is his Gotcha Day and he turned 3 in June. I don't know how much time I will have with him but whatever God gives me is not going to ever be enough I love him so much.

For now all I need to do is protect and love and make sure he is comfortable and I'm rebuilding his wheels to compensate for his front legs his back legs are still working his front are giving him trouble why I want to get him to a vet that won't suggest death I am so sure there's a medication that can help my little buddy.

Thank you for everything you do Courage means the world to me and I am grateful to the people who promised to help but sometimes you can't keep promises when your family runs into issues themselves.

I appreciate the shares and even the tiniest donation I hope to work hard this week even tho I'm sick again, looks like the cancer may have come back I hope not, but if it did its in for a fight just like the other times it came after me.

Anything you do for our wee courage and our sanctuary houses means the world to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Little Mamacita a feral momma to be needs your support for her and her kittens that are coming.

Wet and dry kitten food, blankets, towels, sheets and puppy pads are needed along with any additional KMR or feeding supplies just in case we have complications.

please I need your help I'm bringing in this elder cat abandoned I fear since I have no replies to any of the lost and found reports I filed I will not let Leon die out there old and alone he's coming into my home!

Leon needs a new dollar store litter box, clay litter, flea treatment, wet and dry food, comfy beds, clean blankets and towels and anything for him that will make the rest of his life comfortable with me.

I already know a vet is going to tell me to put him down, NO HE WILL TELL ME WHEN HE WANTS TO LEAVE and for now he's going to live in sanctuary with me and my other special needs until the day he says Kelly I need to leave...

Thank your for everything you do, I petted him on the head tonight when my trap failed dismally he came back close enough to thank me for his dinner.

I am sure in my heart that tomorrow he will let me pick him up but by tomorrow I will have a working trap Leon is coming home and that home will be with me.

I am so very sad that I can't find support to pay the bill for this doggo especially when my lovely vet does so much for us to help with inhouse passing.

Debit transfer: [email protected]

Please I have antoher pet to take across the bridge but I can't until I pay off the debt for this guy and you know its not right to pass with a debt, it just seems like it holds up your trip to the other side and I know this dog he has family waiting to love on him.

Thank you for caring, all dogs go to Heaven ALL of them and I just want him to not have a bill on earth is all.

Kelly and Buddy who is at the rainbow bridge waiting for the doors to open I'm sure.
