North Toronto Cat Rescue 100% volunteer-run charity, genuinely concerned with the welfare of needy animals. WE FOUND OUR FUREVER HOME! However, we still need your help.

REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE ON THE MOVE?

“Gray skies are going to clear up, put on a happy face.” Just like the lyrics of that old song, NTCR is still saying “good day, sunshine” as we look back on the incredible journey that brought us to where we are today. Nearly three years ago, we faced the challenge of losing our previous shelter location, just as the pandemic’s impact was being felt by all. With

no fundraising events and reduced donations, we were uncertain of the future. But thanks to the dedication of our volunteers and the incredible support from our community, we were able to temporarily place our cats and kittens in loving foster homes—saving lives and ensuring no one was left behind. Then, the day we had been waiting for arrived: we moved into our own fur-ever home! Today, we are thrilled to say that we’ve settled into our new shelter, and it’s been an amazing journey. In the past three years, we have continued our mission, and we couldn’t have done it without the ongoing support from all of you. The costs of running a shelter are ongoing, and our veterinary bills, supplies, and the day-to-day expenses of caring for over 150 cats and kittens remain high. We are still fundraising just as hard as ever to ensure that we can continue to provide the best care for our feline friends. Your generosity is what keeps us going, and we need your continued support to ensure that we can continue our lifesaving work. Together, we’ve saved over 4,000 cats in the last 36 years, and we know that, with your help, we can save many more. Thank you for being a vital part of our journey. We are excited for the future and the many more lives we can change with your support.

☀️ Heat Alert for Our Wildlife & Pets ☀️

With temperatures rising, our outdoor friends are struggling to stay cool and hydrated. 💔

Please help if you can:
💧 Put out shallow bowls of fresh water (in the shade if possible)
🌿 Add a few stones so bees and small critters can land safely
🚫 NEVER leave pets in cars — even for a minute. Temperatures can become deadly in no time.

Wildlife, stray animals, and even birds rely on small acts of kindness like this to survive the heat. Every bowl of water can save a life. 🐾

Let’s look out for those who can’t ask for help.

🔥🚗 This Heat Can Kill — Don’t Leave Your Pet in the Car 🚫🐾
With temperatures soaring, it takes minutes — not hours — for a parked car to become a death trap for pets.
Even with the windows cracked, the inside of a car can reach dangerous levels. Pets don’t sweat like we do. In extreme heat, they can suffer heatstroke, seizures, and death in as little as 15 minutes.
🚨 If you see an animal in a car in distress:
📞 Call 310-7722 (Ontario – no area code needed)
📞 Or call 911
💔 If emergency help is delayed and the pet is clearly in danger, you’re legally allowed to break the window to save a life.
Please don’t walk by. Don’t take the risk. Not even for a minute.
📢 Share this and help save lives this summer.

Mild Salsa💔

From a Taco Bell in Ajax to the safety of our shelter, our spicy Salsa turned into mild Salsa. Over eight years, she shared her days with our MusCATeers and many fur-friends from playing on the turbo scratcher, to cuddling with her friends, to climbing up on a lap to be the first to get a Tubi treat.

Rest Peacefully, Mild Salsa. ❤️

Happy Victoria Day!

Paws up for a day of sunshine, snuggles, and maybe a few extra treats! 🐾

Whether you’re soaking up the sun, enjoying a lazy day, or being lovingly supervised by your fur babies (as they do best 😸), we hope your day is filled with smiles, cuddles, and a little extra joy. ❤️

From all of us at North Toronto Cat Rescue—have a purr-fect Victoria Day!🐾

🎆 Fireworks & Our Pets… and Wildlife Too 🐾

While fireworks may be a tradition, they can be terrifying—and dangerous—for pets and wildlife.
Pets can panic, bolt, or injure themselves trying to escape. Wildlife is impacted too birds can be startled from nests, and animals flee into unsafe areas with nowhere to hide.
As we head into the Victoria Day long weekend, please celebrate with care:
🐾 Keep pets indoors
🐾 Close windows, curtains, and blinds
🐾 Use TV or music to help mask noise
🐾 Ensure collars and ID tags are up to date
🐾 Provide a safe, quiet space

🌿 When possible, consider reducing or skipping fireworks for all the animals who share our world. Let’s celebrate responsibly and keep them safe. ❤️🐾

Meet Honey DOB: October 2024
Honey is one honey of a kitty! This former kitten mama, so calm and so kind, may love being stroked and brushed but she’s not a fan of being held for too long. Passionate about playing with toys and her various feline friends, happy little Honey now hopes to sweeten the lives of an adoring adoptive home. If this is your home, please fill in an adoption application https://northtorontocatrescue.com/adopt/application-for-adoption

Meet Sasha DOB: October 2024
Beautiful Sasha with her round face and eyes is an independent, sweet and social kitty extremely responsive and very affectionate towards every Hooman she meets, she greets them with purrs, rubbing up against their legs and hands, leaning into their caresses, and if she is perched up high, comes running down. Now Sasha is hoping to make some happy home even happier now and fur-ever. If this is your home, please fill in an adoption application https://northtorontocatrescue.com/adopt/application-for-adoption/

Please SHARE to help Roxy find her Fur-ever Home and Family!
Meet Roxy: DOB: October 2024
Roxy, lushly robed in black, is learning to trust us more and more each day. She now allows gentle chin scratches and enjoys taking treats right from our fingers. When she’s not playing with Cooper, she relishes perching up high to watch what’s going on before coming down to sit snugly with the other cats. Now Roxy would truly relish a patient and loving home with room for both Cooper and her. If you want to be the one to help Roxy on her journey of trusting and have room for two contact us https://northtorontocatrescue.com/adopt/application-for-adoption/
