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.

Homeless cats suffer various ailments, are abused, harm the environment and have a life expectancy of 3 years.

Happy Gotcha Day, Lyle! Our little chocolate brown kitten, now named Luke, went to his furrever home today to meet his new older brother. He hopes that you'll consider adopting his sweet and lovely littermates, Joni and Brandi (both black with white, female).

Luke's brother, Willie (light grey) is pending adoption at this time.

Happy Spring, friends! We are temporarily re-opening our doors to help out some kittens in need.

We have two male and two female kittens that were born on Wednesday, March 8th 2023 and will be ready for adoption on Wednesday, May 3rd at the age of 8 weeks.

- Vaccines included
- $50 adoption fee
- Spay / neuter REQUIRED at 6 months

It has been a very long time since we last posted! Unfortunately, due to a combination of lacking resources and issues with health, we haven’t been taking on new kitties for some time now. If you have feline friends that require assistance, be sure to contact Winnipeg Humane Society (if they don’t have space, they can at least guide you through the process).

Take meowy good care of yourselves! We will keep this page open for updates on the DDW family. Hopefully we’ll be rescuing kitties again soon!

ADOPTED - Sweet little Cirrus came in as a singleton, and is lonely as she awaits her forever home! She is affectionate, a purr machine, loves to nap; a softie just like her namesake ☁️. We are currently accepting adoption applications for this sweet little lady! Ideally, an adoptive family would have a kitty or two with whom Cirrus could play.

Applications must be filled out prior to the meet & greet. Please comment, send us a direct message, or email us at [email protected]

So beautiful. So bad. 😈

Cirrus is doing so well in his foster home! Her mama says she is very affectionate, a purr machine and loves to nap. Wouldn’t you love a cuddle with this little cloud?

I’ve been backing up photos and videos from our rescue kits this year and came across this video of Aquila. The moment she put her paw in my hand, it still gets me 🥺❤️ It’s one of those special and unforgettable moments when a former feral’s walls fall down a little bit. Aquila taught me the reward of accepting a feline wholly for who she is. It’s worth being patient, no matter how long it takes them to be ready to show you affection in the way you hope. #adopted #alumni #formerferal #displaceddomestics #winnipeglocal #manitoba #treaty1

Rescuing the Dessert Litter

Late Monday night, I learned that we had a kitten for intake. I made plans to pick him up Tuesday morning. By the time I arrived chez Dale, Louie and Ian - trappers and colony managers - the first kitten, Butters, was accompanied by his brother, Latté (and we now knew that there were still 2 more to catch). With two tiny white hissing kittens now in tow, Ian suggested we check under the car hood for the siblings (the place from which we had previously rescued Aquila and Solstice). Before he even got to the car, lo and behold, the 2 siblings, Sundae and Nilla, were sitting between the kitty house and the wall, with mama relaxing not too far away. I stood silently, my mind searching for the best way to corral them. By the time Louie and Ian had scrambled to find towels and an extra cage, Nilla and Latté had run into the little cat house… which was mighty convenient! As you will see in the video, we were able to fish them out from their hovel within 10 minutes. We had a bit of a surprise, which I extended to Chelsea and Bob - our incredible foster parents - upon intake. 😁 What is the biggest little of kittens with which you have worked? Comment below! 👇 It is a great honour and privilege to work with this amazing team and serve our homeless cat population (my partner Hunts and myself, Kara facilitate adoptions and temporary housing). We all know that people can act poorly to animals sometimes, but from what I see, the great majority of people want to help save these innocent lives. Without amazing Humans, we cannot save these amazing Felines. Our Dessert kittens are being treated with drops for their gunky eyes, and are otherwise doing great! They will be ready for adoption in approximately 3 weeks. Let us know if you are interested in adoption 🐾👻 #sweet #displaceddomestics #adoptus #kittenrescue #adoptdontshop #winnipeg #ywg #manitoba

An open door for homeless cats

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.

Street cats need help more than ever, as shelters are already largely at capacity and have not necessarily been able to partake in their usual outreach programs due to the SARS- CoV-2 global health emergency. Spay and release programs, volunteer hours, and backlogs of veterinary appointments due to lock-downs have caused disruptions in the rescue, healing times and adoption processes since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020.

As we want to create solutions to these difficulties, a cat adopted through Displaced Domestics Winnipeg (DDW) requires sterilization at 6 months, yearly vaccines, healthy food, water, shelter, and on-leash outdoor exercise (street roaming is not permitted). It is agreed that this cat will not be adopted out to anyone else except the agreed upon party. Should the cat need to be relinquished for whatever reason, DDW will be contacted for re-homing. It is also agreed that the cat will be treated humanely and lovingly. The cat will not be mistreated, mishandled or used for experiments by any one person or entity in any way. Please inquire with your local veterinarian about appointment availability and associated costs before adopting a kitten. A lot of care goes into the rescue, handling and healing of a feral kitten. Serious inquiries only, please.

When adopting through DDW, we humbly ask for a $75 adoption fee to help offset veterinary costs. As all of the kittens that come through our doors are vet-checked, as well as treated as needed, we have accrued $1 000 in costs for veterinary examinations, treatments and medications since the beginning of July 2020. Thankfully $300 of these costs have already been offset by donations and adoption fees. Consumables, such as food, litter, teasers, toys, clean linens, laundry pods are not included in the aforementioned totals. All costs come out of pocket; we do not receive funding or salaries for this work.

Please support no-kill shelters in place of breeders. There are a lot of orphaned babies out there just begging for their furrever homes. #adoptdontshop

Finally, please consider donating, fostering or adopting to keep helping innocent kittens get out of the streets!
