Kitty Kare
About Us
Kitty Kare began in 2010 as a result of volunteering at the City of Thunder Bay Animal Services and witnessing the number of unclaimed stray and abandoned cats and kittens being euthanized due to condition or space issues. We could not stand by and allow so many innocent lives be destroyed.
We are 100% volunteer run, not-for-profit registered charity and receive no government funding. We are not a cost recovery rescue in that we do not have a set adoption fee. We pay all our vet care and foster expenses out of pocket and rely on our fundraising activities and donations.
What Does Kitty Kare Do
We rescue felines destined to be killed at Animal Services due to condition or lack of space. We place them in quarantine (buffer homes) to treat/monitor their health and when stabilized, place them into foster homes. Through fostering we provide a loving environment in a real home.Felines receive veterinary care as needed. All cats are vet checked prior to adoption: de-wormed, vaccinated and spay/neutered if age appropriate. When kittens are adopted out, our adoption contract requires that it is spay/neutered.
Cats remain in foster care until a permanent home is found.
We work to educate the public through our displays/handouts and also by visiting elementary, secondary and post secondary classes. This helps to create an awareness of the unnecessary suffering cats endure as a result of overpopulation and to promote spay/neuter programs within the community.
We believe that every cat has value and deserves a chance to find a loving home. Our goal is to rescue and find forever homes for as many cats as we can.
Sanctuary : Making Dreams Come True
Believing in the work we do, a local business person has graciously donated land to Kitty Kare. This land is located just outside the city limits. It has been cleared and has road access.
We will not have to depend on the number of foster homes available which currently determines the number of cats and kitten we can rescue. We will have a place to shelter more cats that come to us from Animal Services.
The Sanctuary will be a special place were citizens of our community can share their passion by visiting, volunteering and/or adopting a rescued cat.
It is time to begin the search for funding. Kitty Kare welcomes and appreciates any and all donations that you are able to make.
