We Did It!!!!!

As of 5:30pm today, ALL the cats at the River St location have been adopted! There were only 2 cats remaining at the Vic Park location, and people were still lining up.

I want to thank all the people that opened their hearts and homes to these cats, read this blog, and passed along the message to family and friends. We could not have done this without you!

If you are still thinking about adopting, there are many other rescue organizations in Toronto that are struggling with the homeless cat crisis. The foster homes in these rescues are overflowing, and kitten season is just starting. With the THS now closed, there is more pressure than ever on these small rescue organizations, and they also need your help.

Toronto Cat Rescue currently has over 400 cats and kittens that are waiting for forever homes. Every cat that is adopted from them makes space to rescue another kitty from the streets or the euthanasia list at a high kill shelter. By adopting a cat you are literally saving the life of another.

If you cannot adopt, please consider fostering, volunteering or donating much needed money or supplies.

Once again, THANK YOU!

Heather, your blog has been so instrumental in getting the word out about these kitties! I see that Crystal is now pointing people to rescues like TCR and to TAS. We need to keep the momentum going. A silver lining to the THS cloud could be that the public wants to line up and help.

You've done awesome work!
