Our Programs
Foster Home Program
Regina Cat Rescue (RCR) doesn’t operate a shelter, instead the organization manages a network of foster homes. Foster homes are the backbone of RCR. In this system, foster homes care for their foster cats or kittens as if they are their own. RCR takes care of all of the medical bills, and handles the adoption details. We provide food and litter if needed. All you need to foster is a loving heart, and a spare room. Foster cats may be integrated into the foster home or live in a separate room.
Sometimes an animal will be adopted within a matter of weeks, and sometimes it takes several months. We have found that fostering animals within a home greatly reduces their stress levels, and helps RCR to get to know the animal better. We are able to tell prospective adoptees exactly what kind of personality the animal has, and who they would do best with as a forever home.
Right now we have urgent cases that need foster homes so that we can save them from a life on the street. Can you help?

Trap, Neuter, Return & Manage Program
Regina Cat Rescue (RCR) manages 30 community cat colonies in the city of Regina. All cats at these managed colonies are trapped, neutered or spayed and then returned to their colony where they receive food, water and shelter daily. TNRM is the effective and humane approach to managing feral/community cat populations.
With support from RCR volunteers community cats can live long and healthy lives. That’s because once they’ve been sterilized the endless cycle of mating and giving birth to litters of kittens ends. Male cats no longer fight and roam. Female cats no longer bear kittens.
A community cat can be a domestic cat that was lost or abandoned and has reverted to a wild state, or a cat that was born to a stray or feral mother and has had little or no human contact. Community cats are sometimes also known as feral cats. Adult feral cats are usually impossible to tame and aren’t suited to living indoors with people. They live in family groups called colonies that form near a source of food and shelter.
