Whisker Rescue 100% Volunteer run! Dedicated to rescuing cats, Community Spay/Neuter Programs and spreading kindness We sincerely thank those who give so generously!

Whisker Rescue is a nonprofit charitable organization that is run by a small group of dedicated cat loving volunteers! We strive to provide purrmanent and loving homes to cats and kittens that are homeless, abandoned and otherwise in need. Our love knows no age limit, our rescue will take in cats of every age, from newborns to seniors. We are proud to be one of the only local rescue groups to offe

r community support through our subsidized programs, such as our Senior for Senior, CALICO (Caring About Low Income Cat Owners) Subsidized Spay and Neuter Program and our Roundup TNR Subsidized Spay/Neuter program! We hope to be part of the solution to end the stray cat overpopulation crisis! Our society is 100% funded by public donations and dedicated volunteer fundraising. We can offer tax deductible receipts for donations $20 and up! Although we do not have a public building, we are grateful for our loving foster families who open their hearts and homes to cats in need! Our privately owned Sanctuary houses over 100 cats, including our Purrmanent residents, Seniors, or those with special needs. Here we care for those with health conditions such as diabetes or kidney failure as well as kitties that are paraplegic or have other mobility issues. It is a hospice to our cats with terminal illness and a safe place for our feral cats or kitties with behaviour issues that may make them un-adoptable. Our volunteers consider this to be a labour of love and they work hard giving their time to all the cats in our care! Thank you to Royal Canin for making us one of your shelter partners!

Blue was surrendered to us when his senior owner had to move and could not take him along! He was what we would consider a “special needs” Kitty. He is a senior himself, who doesn’t like other cats, dogs or kids. He had a grumpy disposition at first and he did not want to be touched. We knew his chances of finding another home was incredibly slim but we wanted to give this unique kitty the chance he deserved. He had to stay in a bathroom all by himself because he could not be integrated into homes with other cats. He hid for the first few days, barely ate anything but then he decided he would let his true purrsonality show and with a little bit of patience and understanding he was rubbing against our hands and begging for attention! We received an email from the most amazing person that happened to be looking for a special needs kitty! One that did not get along with other cats (as they did not have any others) and we couldn’t believe our luck! He went for a trial run, was introduced to the household Bunny and within a couple days the adoption was made official! We could not be happier! He truly found his Happily Ever After! 🏰🦢💫 💕♥️

It’s Feline Friday! Meet Igor, Phantom and Panther! These are three kitties out of a litter of six that we took in recently. They were born to a feral mama so they are still a little bit shy and need some work, but Marilyn, our wonderful Dream Team Foster mom is working hard to earn their trust and show them love! She sent us this video update and we are so grateful to her! They are up for adoption so please email [email protected] for more information or to make them part of your family! 💕♥️#foster #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #helpinglocalcats #localcatsmatter #strays #localstraysmatter #purrmanentresidents #sanctuary #rescue #supportlocalrescues #ittakesavillage #spayandneuter #indoorcats #keepcatssafe #catoverpopulationcrisis #nowagesjustlove #purrsareourpayment #helpingthecommunity #communitysupport #givingback #caring #guardianangel #subsidizedspayneuterhelp

It’s Feline Friday! We are highlighting some of the kitties that are STILL in our care looking for homes! We can’t believe Jewel hasn’t found her forever family yet! She is the sweetest little bobble head kitty and she will steal your heart! She came to our rescue along with her siblings and her mama, with poor health, needing lots of medication. Thanks to our loving foster mom Andrea who is part of our Whisker Dream Team, they were nursed back to health but little Jewel suffered cerebellar hyperplasia. Now she has the sweetest little wobble. She can climb cat trees but she does have trouble going down stairs. She is a wonderful special needs Kitty looking for her perfect home!

It’s Wings Wednesday, the day we THANK our Guardian Angel Sponsors! We welcome Jenn and Julianne to the Guardian Angel program family! They are tucking Ella safely under their wings! They saw her gorgeous grumpy face and knew she was the one they wanted to sponsor! Their monthly contribution of $25 purr month helps cover her care fees to keep her healthy and happy! She came to us a few years ago as a very angry young lady. She did not like to be touched or held and she had terrible dental disease. Since she has been with us we were able to give her the dental care she needed but she will still need future dental care and pain management due to stomatitis. She is a Sanctuary Purrmanent resident and we could not do this work without amazing angels! Please email whisker [email protected] if you would like to become an angel sponsor to one of the many cats in our care!💕♥️ #sanctuary #sanctuarylife #permanentresidents #specialneedscats #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #helpinglocalcats #localcatsmatter #strays #localstraysmatter #purrmanentresidents #rescue #supportlocalrescues #ittakesavillage #spayandneuter #indoorcats #keepcatssafe #catoverpopulationcrisis #nowagesjustlove #purrsareourpayment #helpingthecommunity #communitysupport #givingback #caring #guardianangel #subsidizedspayneuterhelp
