Kat's Kritters Rescue We help stray and unwanted animals by providing veterinary care and permanent sanctuary to animals that may not be candidates for adoption.

We are a 100% volunteer based organization that strives to help animals in need. Whether an animal ends up at a local pound or is found as a stray trying to survive on it’s own, we want to do what we can to assist. While the initial plan was to operate out of foster homes where the animal can reside in a safe, loving environment while they await adoption to a forever home, lack of committed and reliable foster homes has changed the rescue into more of a shelter facility operated out of our rescue founder’s home. In October 2016, an 8 acre rural property and home south of Sperling, MB was purchased by Kathy and rescue operations were relocated there. All animals in our care are seen by a veterinarian and will be spayed/neutered, tattooed, vaccinated, and dewormed prior to adoption. We operate on a small scale and can only take in new animals when we have space at the shelter or an appropriate foster home available and when we are in a position financially to provide the supplies and care necessary. Kat’s Kritters is unique in that we offer a cage free environment where animals in our care can live enriching lives, learn from other animals, and progress at their own pace. Please consider donating and/or volunteering to help us on this journey to save lives. We are a unique rescue in that we make a commitment to each animal that comes into our care and strive to find each animal the forever home best suited to it’s individual needs, regardless of how long that takes. We take our time getting to know each individual animal and do not rush them through our system. While we may not take in and adopt out large numbers of animals each year, every animal in our care receives the absolute best quality of life. After they have been fully cleared by our veterinarians, all animals are given an opportunity to de-stress in our Director’s home in a rural, cage free environment. Dogs co-habitate and socialize with other dogs, and cats join one of three free range rooms where they can interact with other cats. In 2020, the rescue began transitioning away from an adopting rescue and towards a Sanctuary for animals that are deemed β€œunadoptable” for reasons of behaviour or health. These animals will live out their lives at the rescue or in a permanent foster situation. We will continue to seek adoptive homes for our more adoptable Kritters, including transfer to adopting rescues we trust, but are continuing our shift towards offering an enriching, high quality life on a permanent basis for those most in need. We will also continue to expand our Community Services, to help animals and their owners in various ways through outreach programs. We are always in need of monetary and supply donations to keep us in operation! Contact us for details on how you can help and be part of making a difference in the lives of animals in need!

Rocky Blue Eyes had his first visit with Natural Healing Vet Care today. He was a nervous boy, but did very well. He had an assessment and acupuncture treatment to help with pain management of his spondylosis and other joint issues. He tried to fight the relaxation that comes for most dogs after acupuncture, but eventually gave in and had a snooze on the way home.

Donations towards the care of the Kritters are always needed and gratefully accepted!

Rose and Rolo recently passed their intake anniversaries. Long time followers may remember these very sick babies arriving, a few days apart, back in 2020. Both, but particularly Rolo, required extensive, around the clock care and it still feels miraculous that he pulled through. Rolo and Rose ended up testing positive for feline leukemia. You can see that both cats have grown into large, beautiful felines! Rose's health has remained quite steady, but Rolo has had some complications on and off. He became quite ill a few years back and required extensive dental surgery, which improved his quality of life greatly. It is likely he will need further dental surgery in future, but for now both cats are doing great! Check out the last picture to see these cuties back in 2020 after they had been here for a couple of weeks.

Rose wants to send a special birthday wish to her namesake, Rose, who recently turned 88 years young! 🌹 πŸ₯³

It was another vet day and this time it was Finch, Peeka, and Seth that made the trip. Finch saw our friends Winkler Vet Clinic for his vaccine boosters. Peeka and Seth had appointments with Dr. Cara Natural Healing Vet Care for acupuncture treatments (and laser therapy for Peeka) as part of the management of their arthritis pain.

Chloe is always very interested in watching me through the window when I'm working outside. πŸ‘€ Today is this special girl's intake anniversary! Chloe arrived in care 9 years ago, as an injured kitten with a bad degloving injury to her chin and lower jaw. She has required quite a lot of vet care over the years, including having all of her teeth extracted due to feline stomatitis. She also has chronic, but thankfully minor, upper respiratory issues. Chloe used to be very skittish, and is now a shy, but very friendly, kitty. 🐈
