How are my funds used?
As cats/kittens come to RCR and into one of the loving foster homes, they receive sterilization, vaccinations, and treatments to ensure they are clear of worms and ear mites. While in foster care, RCR provides all supplies the cat/kitten may need such as hard and wet food, water and food dishes, cat litter, litter box and scoop, toys, bedding, and more.
Cats assessed as unable to adopt into loving homes, due to their long life on the streets, are sterilized and treated for ailments before being released into one of RCR's or an independent safe colony. In RCR or independent colonies, cats continue to receive the love and care they need to thrive, by a group of dedicated volunteers that go daily to provide food and water - no matter the weather.
At times, RCR is faced with challenging decisions on medical treatment for cats such as dental surgeries, limb removal, medical imaging, etc. that can range in the $1,000s + to cover. However, as RCR believes every cat deserves humane treatment, we are dedicated to ensuring each cat/kitten that comes through the door is given the utmost fighting chance to thrive. These costs are often unexpected and tend to hit rescues the hardest, and while we do our best to manage and plan for unexpected costs - they have been increasing in numbers over the years.

Sponsor a Spay/Neuter
Unable to adopt or foster but still want to help rescued pets? Sponsoring the spay or neuter a Regina Cat Rescue cat or kitten is a great way to make a difference.
As no cat leaves the care of Regina Cat Rescue without being sterilized, sponsoring the spay or neuter of our foster cats or kittens will help get them ready to be adopted by a wonderful fur-ever home.
The full cost of sponsoring a spay is $300 or neuter is $250, and your sponsorship will be acknowledged on a cat's website profile and through a social media post.
To sponsor a cat's spay or neuter, you can donate through Zeffy, e-transfer, or cheque. All donations are welcome, and donations of $20 or more will receive charitable tax receipts. Find out more
Please note that once the amount required for care of the cat or kitten (spay/neuter, vaccinations, etc.) has been reached, donations in excess of the required amount will be directed towards another deserving rescued cat.

Making a charitable bequest in your will to Regina Cat Rescue is a wonderful and positive way to leave a legacy that will improve the lives of abandoned cats and kittens on Regina's streets.
Charitable will bequests allow you to make a significant gift that may not always be possible to make during your lifetime. There are many benefits of creating a charitable will bequest, including:
● Reduced Taxes for Your Estate — A charitable gift is an effective way to reduce taxes for your estate. RCR will issue an official tax receipt for the full value of the will bequest when it is received. This receipt can then be used to reduce the tax payable on your final return.
● Flexible and Revocable — A charitable gift may be made for any amount, no matter how old you are. As well, a will bequest gift is revocable at any time, should your financial situation change.
● Help Abandoned Cats and Kittens in Regina — Your charitable bequest will make a lasting difference to abandoned cats and kittens on our streets.
● Leave a Lasting Legacy — Your charitable gift will be a lasting legacy for you, your family or anyone you wish to honour.A will bequest can be as simple as a sentence or two naming Regina Cat Rescue in your will or adding a codicil to your existing will.
There are different kinds of bequests and for each, you must use very specific language to indicate the precise direction of your assets, and to successfully carry out your final wishes. Please see your professional adviser (financial analyst, lawyer, or planned giving officer) to make arrangements for your bequest to Regina Cat Rescue
