We have two lovely little black kittens, Joni and Brandi, aged 8.5 weeks (born March 3) and available for adoption. Their brothers have already found their furrever homes, now it's their turn! Send us a message if you're interested.
We are a few regular people volunteering on our own time and dime 100k+ homeless cats that roam WPG. We hope to give them a second chance.

We are a network of volunteers, dedicated to rescuing homeless cats from the streets of Winnipeg. We aim to curb the feral and stray population which is estimated at 100,000 felines. We are working on rescuing feral kittens in the Meadowview area of Winnipeg in particular at this time.
Feral cats suffer various ailments, starvation, dehydration, predation, physical abuse via human interaction, car accidents, fear, and have a life expectancy of approximately 3.5 years. The luckier cats that find themselves members of a cat colony may survive up to 8 or 10 years. A healthy housecat, with warm shelter, balanced nutrition, and lots of mental engagement through toys, teasers and affection, can happily live well into their 20s.
Female cats can become pregnant 3 times per year, and then run the risks of defending their offspring as well as themselves. At three litters per year, with an average of 4 kittens per litter (this number ranges from 1-12 kittens per litter), one feral mother can produce up to and well beyond 42 feral kittens in the span of roughly 3.5 years. With approximately 50,000 female strays on the streets having around 12 kittens per year, numbers can snowball into the millions over a few short years...
Rescuing feral cats is not just to deal with nuisances, nor is it just for the heart-melting adoption videos; feral and stray cats pose a great environmental threat as well. Cats are surplus killers, meaning they kill for fun, more than they need to survive. They are currently linked to at least 63 species extinctions, largely affecting the already delicate balance of songbird populations, as well as mammal and reptile populations. This is having a devastating impact on our already fragile and at-risk ecosystems. An indoor cat that is leash-trained when outdoors is not considered to be part of this issue.
