Team Cat Rescue We are a Registered Canadian Charity #81125 5371 RR0001, 100% Volunteer-run & Foster-Based Cat Rescue in Toronto (GTA). We save death row cats only.

WE DO NOT HAVE A SHELTER. We do not have the resources to help with strays or ferals.

We assist and rescue displaced cats that find themselves dumped and abandoned in kill shelters and gassing pounds. We do NOT take strays or owner surrenders! We are currently restricting our a

doption area to the GTHA. All fosters homes and adopters are subject to a strict set of requirements: application, interview and reference checks. All of our adoptables are spayed/neutered and microchipped, dewormed, given preventative & fully vaccinated. Our adoption fee is $250 for adults, $300 for kittens and $150 for seniors (10 years old and up). Unless a cat is in a store, you will be required to fill out an application prior to meeting a cat.

❤️READY FOR HER FUREVER HOME❤️

Streudel is a lovely girl and as sweet as her name implies!

Her favourite things to do are: protecting the house from intruders by eliminating feathered enemies on strings (“da-bird” wand gets her into zoomie-mode in 0.1 seconds); having a well deserved nap in the middle of a queen sized bed; eating pineapples and treats while drooling a river (she also drools when she’s happy - and really, who doesn't?); and lastly, surveilling the balcony and catching bugs.

Strudel can be a shy girl who needs some time to warm up but it doesn’t stop her from greeting strangers immediately. She will be your best friend as long as you have treats! She would do best in an adult-only home, as she is ready for the quiet life. She is currently on amitriptyline daily which has done wonders for her demeanor. This is an inexpensive medication that we recommend is continued. She is good with a calm cat.

If sweet Streudel sounds like the cat for you, please reach out to Team Cat Rescue today!

"When you try your best, but you don't succeed"... Sadly yesterday, upon the recommendations of vet internists and neurologists, we said goodbye to little Fortune Teller. He came to us a few weeks ago as a young kitten with unexplained blindness. We discovered more issues that would make his life questionable in longevity and comfort. Even though we were willing to go the distance with whatever he needed, we were told that a positive outcome will be unlikely. So surrounded by love, he was guided over the rainbow bridge. Dear Fortune Teller, you mattered!

And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you"

❤️READY FOR HER FUREVER HOME❤️

Sweet Shelby was found outside and arrived in our care with a severe infection called pyometra, which threatened her life. She resiliently fought through, and has overcome exceptional circumstances with her health! This stunning girl with expressive green eyes didn’t know who to trust at first, but with time, she’s realised that she can feel safe with people. Throughout the past year in her foster home, Shelby has come such a long way, blossoming into a calmer, more trusting kitty who seeks out affection and company! Shelby loves following her foster mom from room to room, curling up on her lap or by her feet for a snuggle session. Shelby greets her foster mom with kisses in the mornings and keeps her company, adorably snoozing on her laptop throughout the work day.

Shelby has also started to play with her foster family, excitedly chasing crinkle balls that are thrown her way. For a girl who has endured such a difficult journey, Shelby is quite friendly around new people, and will bravely greet guests in the home. She also makes for the purr-fect welcome committee, devotedly running to the front door each day as you arrive home! Shelby can get annoyed from prolonged affection or eye contact, instead preferring short cuddles and brushing sessions on the floor (instead of the chair/couch/desk) so that she can easily walk away. Shelby’s other favourite pastimes include lounging on her beloved cat tower, and gobbling down delicious food! This girl has a fabulous appetite, and treats in moderation can be a helpful way for her future adopter to bond with her.

Shelby requires a patient adopter with a big heart in an adult-only home, who is willing to learn her unique body language and take the time to solidify a deep, loving bond. Shelby is so deserving of a devoted home where she can relax and shine as a cherished member of a fur-ever family. If you are ready to open your home and your heart to this lovable girl, please contact Team Cat Rescue today!

❤️READY FOR HER FUREVER HOME❤️

Our beloved girl Tabitha arrived in our care showing drastic signs of neglect. In just a few weeks, this resilient beauty with bright golden eyes has blossomed into a healthy, affectionate, and playful companion who LOVES to be by your side! It has been heartwarming to see Tabitha transform into the confident and happy cat that she deserves to be. And now, she is eager to share her newfound zest for life with you!

When it comes to affection, Tabitha is the queen of pets and cuddles - she simply can’t get enough! Though she may hide at first, Tabitha will make you the centre of her universe once she gets comfortable. Whether she is stretched out on your bed or lounging nearby as you relax at home, this gentle gal will soak up all the love that she can get. And she will gladly offer plenty of it back to you in return! Tabitha’s other favourite pastimes include exploring and playing, as well as excitedly watching birds through the windows! While she's also content to entertain herself, Tabitha will at times voice her desire for attention with her cute, endearing meow.

This sweet gal would thrive in a calm home as a solo cat or with another gentle kitty companion. Tabitha has endured a lot in her short life and is ready for a loving home where she can shine. If Tabitha sounds like the purr-fect friend for you, please contact Team Cat rescue today!

PLEASE WELCOME these two 15 year old sweethearts. Both with tumours - one on the head and one in the mouth. We received an urgent plea from a local shelter that was full and these loving ladies were on the euthanasia list for today. Even though we have no fosters open, we are saving these cats.
Many of you would ask, why save old cats with costly medical needs? We believe in compassion for all cats and do our best to consider the old along with the young, the sick along with the healthy, the scarred along with the cute. We try our best even when it is not fiscally or logically feasible. Rescues make choices with their hearts.
We don't know what the future holds for these ladies but we know it will be expensive. If you can donate towards medical costs (you will receive a tax receipt) or foster one or both, please contact us at [email protected]
Donations can be e-transfered or Paypal to [email protected] (pls add your address for tax receipt). You can also donate to our surgery fund at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/team-cat-rescue-incorporated/
Please share and TIA!!

“Officially been one year since I brought home this sweet, goofy girl!!

Mo (formerly Morocco/Momo) has been such a ray of sunshine in my life 🤍 Not sure when her birthday is or exactly how old she is, but hoping for many many many more years with her!

Thanks to Team Cat and all of her past foster parents for taking care of her before I found her 🥰”

❤️READY FOR HER FUREVER HOME❤️

Meet Meera, a stunning white and orange kitty who has travelled all the way from Bahrain in search of a better life. A shy girl, Meera is still getting adjusted in her foster home, but she becomes braver each and every day! As she finds courage, Meera has been venturing out from her favourite hiding places (currently behind the washing machine and in the closet) to explore the world around her. Though Meera is still timid around people, she loves her kitty companions, who are helping her blossom into the confident girl that she is destined to be!

Take one look at Meera’s adorable and curious face and you will be smitten! At night time, Meera enjoys sneaking glimpses of her foster mom and snacking on some delicious Fancy Feast. Meera will also make the most endearing meows and chirps when she thinks that no one is listening, a charming trait which adds to her lovable purr-sonality!

Meera’s foster in Bahrain had described her as an affectionate, energetic girl who loves to snuggle and play. This little sweetie is now seeking a home with a patient and loving adopter who is willing to give her the time and space she needs to truly shine! A quiet home with another kitty companion would be ideal for Meera, as she continues her journey towards self-assurance. Her forever home will also need a few hidey holes where Meera can feel safe and reset before coming out to socialise again.

With time and patience, Meera is sure to bring so much joy to her fur-ever family. If you would like to provide this lovable, resilient kitty with a second chance at a wonderful life, please contact Team Cat Rescue today!

❤️READY FOR HER FUREVER HOME❤️

Meela travelled all the way from Bahrain in her search for a better life. This stunning girl with big amber eyes is still wary of people, but she gets braver every day! It’s impossible to know what kinds of experiences she had with humans in the past, but she tends to be much less nervous around new cats than she is around new people. In her foster home, Meela has started to claim more space outside of her bedroom, and explore the cat shelves in the living room. She lives with multiple people, but has especially bonded with her roommate. She has even started to cuddle up with her in bed, and will mew inquisitively at her when it’s time for dinner but food is nowhere to be found! She is slowly warming up to the other people in the household too, as she can sometimes be found watching them cook from the entryway to the kitchen. Meela enjoys observing everything around her, and although she doesn’t seek pets or physical affection, she still loves to be a part of the action! And she'll even sometimes let her roommate gently brush her.

Meela has lots of play energy, and one of her favourite things is to run through her tunnel and bat toys around overnight! Sometimes, she even pounces at her roommate’s feet! Play is another method her future adopter can use to bond with her. Meela is a fan of Temptations, but refuses to eat Blue Wilderness cat treats - picky kitty! Meela would fit in wonderfully in a multi-cat household, where she can follow the lead of more confident cats. This girl has so much love to give, but needs a patient adopter who understands that she requires time to overcome her past and journey to Canada. As her human roommate has discovered, when Meela finally trusts you, she really loves you! Due to her shy nature, she’d do best in a home without young children.

You can see more photos and videos of Meela at on TikTok and Instagram. Watch as she goes from a cowering kitty to a talkative, more assured gal! If you’re willing to take a nervous little lovebug like Meela and give her the patience to show her true colours, please reach out to Team Cat Rescue today!

❤️READY FOR HIS FUREVER HOME❤️

Carl’s baby face will have you at ‘meow’! He’s a loving lap cat that adores attention, and knows just how cute he is! Carl loves a cuddle, or even just being in the same room as his humans.

He may act like a scaredy cat with sudden loud sounds and movements, but he’ll be purr-fect again after a little human reassurance that he’s okay. Carl's sweet soulful eyes and easygoing demeanour will make him the ideal cat for your home! He may be open to another kitty family member as well, after a proper introduction. He has not been tested with dogs.

Carl is so affectionate that he’ll give you a big booping headbutt when you pick him up! If this sweet, stunning boy sounds like just what you need to liven up your heart and home, please contact Team Cat Rescue today!

❤️READY FOR THEIR FUREVER HOME❤️

👯BONDED BUDDIES👯

Darius and Flanders are two sweet and handsome boys who are the best of friends! Whether they are snuggling or playing together, these two bonded buddies compliment each other purr-fectly! Together, they are seeking a home where they can find humans to love as much as they love each other!

Darius is a majestic little king who loves to cuddle. With his cute little meow, Darius will adorably follow his foster family around, requesting pets and affection. Darius also enjoys chasing his beloved wand toy, and playfully wrestling with his pal, Flanders. This is all in good fun, as Flanders is his best friend, his most trusted confidante, and the viceroy to his kingdom!

Flanders is a sweet, gentle soul who shares his buddy’s love of being brushed and cuddled. His greatest joy is having his belly rubbed, and being cradled like the adorable little baby that he is! Flanders moves a bit more slowly due to his mild CH, also known as wobbly cat syndrome. CH requires no meds or treatment, and it doesn’t stop him from living his best life! Flanders still enjoys running over for treats and jumping around during playtime. He is best suited to a home with kids over the age of 10.

Darius and Flanders are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. These best buds are very social and would likely thrive in a home with other cats and/or dogs. If you want to give these boys a second chance at a great life together, please contact Team Cat Rescue today!

❤️READY FOR HER FUREVER HOME❤️

Hi, I’m Sugar and I am every bit as sweet as my name implies! I travelled all the way from Bahrain with my sisters, because we were all at risk of being thrown out of our home there and left to endure life on the streets. I feel so lucky to now be in a safe, comfortable foster home here in Toronto thanks to Team Cat Rescue, and I cannot wait to meet my fur-ever family!

As you can imagine, travelling all the way from Bahrain to Canada was very scary for me, and it has taken some time to adjust. My foster mom is so nice and gives me fun crinkle toys to play with, and yummy food which makes me feel closer to her each and every day! Right now though, I still prefer to spend most of my time on my cat bed or perched on a ledge in the washroom, where I can oversee the fun that my foster family is having from a safe distance. Though I am still learning to trust, I will give my foster mom my sweetest meows so that she will keep the washroom door open, which helps me to feel included as part of the gang. I also love it when she keeps me company at bedtime - it helps me feel calm and I can fall asleep easily.

I know that in time, I will bounce back into the energetic, playful girl that I was in Bahrain! I am looking for an adopter with a heart as big as my own, who can be patient with me and give me the gentle guidance and care that I need to thrive. Because of my initial bashfulness, I would be happiest in a quiet home without young kids, and with another feline companion who can show me the ropes. I promise to try my best in my forever home, and I really do have so much love to give in return!

To welcome sweet, resilient Sugar into your fur-ever family, please contact Team Cat Rescue today!

Mika, our little Miss, has gotten so comfortable and she makes us wonderfully happy.

❤️READY FOR HIS FUREVER HOME❤️

Stare into my baby blues and you will be hooked! My name is Flynn and I am a gorgeous guy with undetermined lineage, which has contributed to my sleek look and beautiful peepers. Do you want to take me home? Let’s see if we are a fit. I have questions for you… so many questions! Let’s begin:

1. Do you like to sleep? ME TOO! I love to sleep the day away in my cat bed or in a hideaway where I feel safe and secure.

2. Do you like to talk? ME TOO! I can carry out a conversation if you want to. I love to chat and let you know my innermost thoughts and desires.

3. Do you like to snuggle? ME TOO! I love to snuggle with my humans. I am not a fan of being picked up, but I can sit with you all day if you let me. I might even sit on your lap!

4. Do you like to eat? ME TOO! When it comes to food, I am not a fussy guy. I am a grazer and can eat either wet or dry food happily throughout the day.

5. Do you like to play? I’m not a huge fan. I would rather sleep, quite honestly.

6. Do you have a scratching post? AWESOME! I love a good scratching post, and won’t bother with your furniture.

7. Do you have a quiet home? GREAT! I’m in! I am not a fan of a busy home, and lots of activity may make me a bit nervous. I love a laidback lair to hang out in.

Well, those are all my questions! My foster says that I should also let you know that I am untested with kids and dogs, but I may get along with other cats after the proper introductions. I am looking for my fur-ever home and would love it if it is yours…if you answered all the questions I have for you correctly! ;) See you soon! Love, Flynn

❤️READY FOR HER FUREVER HOME❤️

Meet Meera, a stunning white and orange kitty who has travelled all the way from Bahrain in search of a better life. Meera arrived in Toronto a bashful kitty with lots of curiosity. Previously only able to catch glimpses of her in the night, her foster now sees and interacts with Meera every day!

“She loves being in the same room as me, meowing at me, rubbing against my legs, being petted, and purring all the time.” - Meera’s TEAM foster

Meera’s foster in Bahrain had described her as an affectionate, energetic girl who loves to snuggle and play. This little sweetie is now seeking a home with a patient and loving adopter who is willing to give her the time and space she needs to truly shine!

Since she is still a little skittish around new people, having another kitty companion would be ideal for Meera, as she continues her journey towards self-assurance. Her forever home will need a few hidey holes where Meera can feel safe and reset before coming out to socialise again.

With time and patience, Meera is sure to bring so much joy to her fur-ever family. If you would like to provide this lovable, resilient kitty with a second chance at a wonderful life, please contact Team Cat Rescue today!

MAY I TAKE YOUR ORDER?? We have been getting inquiries about purchasing the awesome items that we sell at events. We know that not everyone has the time or ability to come to the festivals that we participate in so we are attempting to provide those supporters access to most of our items thru an online store. We will be adding new items regularly and restocking sold out ones.
NOTE: This is our first time doing this so please bear with us while we iron out the bugs. (if we get enough interest then we may invest in a nicer storefront). If you wish to email us at [email protected] to put in an order instead, we will accept those too. Please check out our link here:
