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!

We welcome this poor little frozen ear-tipped stray into our rescue! He needs a very special name! He is such a friendly little sweetie that is only about seven months old. He has some gastrointestinal upset and is on medication but once he is feeling better he will be neutered and up for adoption! We THANK all our loving supporters who help us to be there for kitties like him! 💕♥️

We have the most AMAZING foster homes who give their all to our kitties while in their care! They treat them like they are part of their family! We THANK Randy and Shauna M. for fostering Steve and François while they wait for their forever homes to come along! Steve is now up for adoption location, but his brother François is still in foster care. As you can see he gets along great with other cats! These boys have been with us since they were about three months old and they desperately need homes of their own! Please stop in to the pet store or email [email protected] for more information! 💕♥️

As a small volunteer run rescue, you won’t see a page on our website listing cats for adoption, why is that? We feel we are one of the luckiest rescues to have many adoption partners, including five pet stores and two vet clinics located in and around Red Deer, so instead of looking on a screen, this gives you the opportunity to go and meet our wonderful kitties in person! We have handy links on our website so you can click on each store’s page to get updates on the kitties that are there, see cute photos and videos and the great sales or events that each Pet store offers, so we strongly promote our partnership with these caring stores! Because Whisker Rescue is 100% Volunteer run, we would rather use the funds that are donated to us for cat care or helping the community spay and neuter instead of paying someone to update a website. We understand this isn’t always convenient but our volunteers can also answer questions or send photos of adoptable kitties by email. If you have any questions please feel free to email [email protected] or simply watch our Facebook and Instagram pages for updates on adoptable kitties!💕♥️

As a very small, 100% Volunteer run Rescue, we can’t express what the fundraising efforts of caring people like Mary Ellen Ashman and all those who give, mean to us! No matter the amount, it all adds up, just like her swear jar lol before you know it …we have enough to save a life or many lives by helping the community spay and neuter! We are so grateful for every item crafted, baked or donated, and for every dime put in our cash can! We couldn’t do this work without all your generous hearts! Thank you so much Mary Ellen! You can purchase these adorable socks at the Deer Park pet hospital, located by our adoption Kennels!💕♥️

It’s Sanctuary Sunday! We are SO grateful to the loving volunteers that make up Whisker Rescue! We are 100% volunteer run and we have relied on caring and loving individuals (like Terra) to give our Sanctuary kitties all the cuddles they need! Our loyal volunteers are simply amazing, giving their time to clean and cuddle every week day, weekend, evening and even on every special holiday! We truly could not do this work without them!💕♥️

Bella found her Happily Ever After! 🏰💫 She had been previously adopted through our rescue but was found living outside, matted, cold and thin! 😿 She is now living her best life in a new loving home!💕♥️

Tessa is cute as a button and is looking for a very special home! She is estimated 3-4 years old and she gets along with most other cats. She is cuddly, sweet and oh yes, she may try to nibble your neck in the middle of a passionate embrace. She likes to tenderize your neck ahead of time by giving loving kisses.

We absolutely LOVE our foster families! We want to THANK Jacqui for being the most amazing foster mom, she has had so many of our kitties for weeks or sometimes months on end! She gives them so much love, attention and any special diet they need! She goes over and above like so many in our Dream Team and we honestly could not do this work without wonderful people like her!💕♥️#foster #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #helpinglocalcats #localcatsmatter #strays #localstraysmatter #purrmanentresidents #sanctuary #rescue #supportlocalrescues #ittakesavillage #spayandneuter #indoorcats #keepcatssafe #catoverpopulationcrisis #nowagesjustlove #purrsareourpayment #helpingthecommunity #communitysupport #givingback #caring #guardianangel #subsidizedspayneuterhelp

Finnegan was found as a tiny boy in a dairy barn, dragging his hind legs behind him 😿 He was brought to our rescue where he has grown big and strong but he has never regained the use of his legs and he is incontinent. Nothing slows this sweetheart down, and every Christmas he gets a special treat of cream which he asks for, sitting right in front of the fridge! He never forgot where he came from!💕♥️ #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #helpinglocalcats #localcatsmatter #strays #localstraysmatter #purrmanentresidents #sanctuary #rescue #supportlocalrescues #ittakesavillage #spayandneuter #indoorcats #keepcatssafe #catoverpopulationcrisis #nowagesjustlove #purrsareourpayment #helpingthecommunity #communitysupport #givingback #caring #guardianangel #subsidizedspayneuterhelp

ALL these INCREDIBLE supplies were lovingly donated to our rescue by an anonymous Angel! We feel SO lucky to have this AMAZING support! Our kitties will LOVE each and every item! This definitely brings grateful and happy tears to our volunteers! We send a very big THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! 💕♥️ #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #helpinglocalcats #localcatsmatter #strays #localstraysmatter #purrmanentresidents #sanctuary #rescue #supportlocalrescues #ittakesavillage #spayandneuter #indoorcats #keepcatssafe #catoverpopulationcrisis #nowagesjustlove #purrsareourpayment #helpingthecommunity #communitysupport #givingback #caring #guardianangel #subsidizedspayneuterhelp
