Miss Fern!
About 10 weeks old now and FULL of personality! She can be a bit aggressive in play so may not be a best fit for a home with little kids right now! Fern can be super sweet and cuddly too. Loves to play with her toys and likes to be miss bossy pants in the house. Fern will be ready for a forever home in a couple weeks after her booster vaccines!

Our Story
Cats TNR & Rescue was founded by Linda Desjardins(Animal Advocate) & Chantel Boersma (Vet Assistant/Animal Lover) in early 2012.
It all started with a colony of cats living at a local dump. They were living in a pile of tires scrounging garbage and scraps that kind people would bring. A Go Fund Me Page was set up and when enough money was raised some were trapped and spayed and neutered. Feed was provided and the goal was to fix the whole colony to stop breeding. Eventually a building was provided for them .
We applied for and received charity status in October of 2013 and our efforts expanded to rescuing fostering and adopting out strays. This year alone we adopted out 85 cats and did tnr on an additional 65 cats. Some were able to be adopted out or barn homes were found for them and some were returned.
We try to help the cats at the local dumps because they live in appalling conditions and are in constant danger from heavy equipment or shredding machines . Not much shelter is available at these landfills . We rescue cats from all the areas around Neepawa if we have room and resources.
Our rescue has grown in numbers of volunteers and active members but the need is so great there needs to be a rescue in every community. There needs to involvement on the local provincial and federal government level to address the huge cat overpopulation problem. Too many homeless cats because people are not spaying or neutering , too many suffering because people have failed them. This is a people problem not a cat problem.
