Meet Kirby!
This handsome young man was found with his mom and two siblings living at an RCR colony and sheltering under the crawl space of the home. Mom was tame so likely the result of a renter in the area moving away and leaving their unfixed female cat behind. No one claimed mom when she was posted as found.
With no available space in a foster home the plan was to trap, fix and return (TNR) mom and her kittens when they were of age. The kittens were getting older and then it was found out that they were not welcome to stay as the homeowners did not want any more cats around. With this unfortunate news, RCR had no choice but to trap the kittens and place them into a foster home in hopes of them being socialized.
Kirby may not have the cape to go with his batman mask but he is a super hero none the less! He loves to fly about the house, running, chasing and wrestling with the younger cats. This young super hero does have a softer side once he is done saving the day and can often been seen cuddled up in a cozy pet bed with his sister Fergie or another cat friend or will join his foster mom in the morning for snuggles and purrs.
We almost forgot to mention that he has a cute white tipped tail! Kirby loves to play with all toys, especially balls, mice, and the circle ball toy. He enjoys his cat trees and loves to sit looking out at the birds and squirrels. Kirby has a good appetite and loves all food and treats. Kirby has not been introduced to dogs or children.

Meet Uno!
It’s Day 8 of Betty’s Birthday Catstravaganza, and we’re showing you Uno! He’s a beautiful adult cat with the curiosity of a kitten. 😻Uno is a fine fellow who showed up out of the blue at a busy RCR feeding station. While we suspected he had a home, Uno was posted as found and no-one claimed him. He was humanely trapped & came into RCR care where he proved he is deserving of a loving forever home, building love and trust with his patient foster family. One, Une, Eins, Uno...no matter how you count our boy Uno will be your # 1 sidekick for life. This sweet boy has transformed from a street savvy guy who took multiple attempts to rescue. However, he adapted to life in foster care quickly and is the best cat his foster has ever seen on a leash. Uno responds like a dog on a walk. He loves to bunt and receive pets. Uno can get over stimulated from a lot of love all at once but it doesn’t take him long to want more love again. His lil chirps for love are so sweet and can’t be ignored! He has a beautiful long coat that will need brushing, which is one of Uno’s favorite things to enjoy! All you need is one good friend to get by and Uno can attest to this! Uno can thrive with other furry friends, cats/dogs alike per proper integration. Uno does well with children in a calm environment, thriving with patience. He’d make a good family pet but is also a great option to be a lucky cat lover’s one and only UNO!#YQRCats #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #YQR #RCR #ReginaCatRescue #AdoptDontShop

🎉 Betty’s Birthday Catstravaganza continues as we show you Travis! 🐾Sweet Travis may be a little shy at first, but with love and patience, his gentle, playful side shines.

Could that be with you? 🐾 #AdoptDontShop #BettysBirthdayCatstravaganza #ShyButSweet #ReginaCatRescue #YQR #YQRCats
For Day 3 of Betty's Birthday Catstravaganza, we're showing you Shade!
Meet Shade, a beautiful 10 year old feline who is looking for a very special home. Shade is a bit of a mystery - she is shy and reserved and takes her time to warm up to new people. While she may initially prefer to keep her distance, she has shown, that with patience and a bit of coaxing, she can be tempted to come out of her shell with the help of some tasty treats. It takes time but the bond is worth it!!
Shade tends to be quite cautious around humans and often chooses to hide when unfamiliar faces are around. She is more comfortable observing from a safe spot and needs a very gently approach. Her foster parents are working diligently to help her feel more at east, though she's not quite ready for lots of hand-on attention yet.
One of Shade's unique needs is assistance with grooming. Due to her size (19 lbs!!), she requires regular help to keep her clean and comfortable. Her fur also needs to be trimmed to ensure she stays tidy and healthy.
Despite her shyness, Shade has a playful side and enjoys engaging with toys on her own, like playing with a toy mouse or chasing a ball. She is also intrigued by the other cats in her foster home, showing that she has the potential to be a wonderful companion to her fellow felines.
Shade's ideal home would be a quiet and patient environment where she can continue to build trust at her own pace. It is important to note that she would do best in a home without dogs and where there are no loud children, as she finds these environments too overwhelming. Her new family would need to be prepared for a gentle, long-term comittment to helping her adjust. If you have a heart full of compassion and a willingness to understand Shade's unique needs, she might just be the perfect addition to your home.

🎄 Our 12th Stray of Christmas: Meet Reign! 🎄
Reign's Christmas wish is for soft food, kibble, and donations to help with veterinary care.
Reign has had quite the ride this year. Earlier in the year, he came into care with a lame leg, and it was discovered that he had a serious bone infection requiring constant medication and monitoring. There was a time when it was uncertain if Reign would need an amputation, but being the resilient cat he is, he pulled through with all four limbs intact.
However, this fall, Reign found himself in another emergency situation. He became severely constipated, necessitating multiple nights in veterinary care to clear his system and restore his equilibrium. During his time in care, X-rays revealed that he had once broken his hip. The way it healed affected the natural configuration of his intestines, impacting his ability to have a normal bowel movement. Reign has now recovered and will need to live with a special diet and stool softeners.
Reign's journey has been filled with challenges, but his resilience and strength shine through. This Christmas, let's help make Reign's wish come true and support his ongoing care. Your donations can make a world of difference for this brave kitty.

🎄 The 11th Strays of Christmas: Meet Felix & Boo! 🎄
Felix and Boo are a bonded pair with a special Christmas wish: donations of red tuck tape to help build winter shelters for their friends on the streets, along with heated water dishes and kibble.
These two beautiful girls have been in RCR's care for a few years. They came to us in 2022 as 8-week-old fully feral kittens. With time, patience, love, and dedication, they transitioned from their feral nature to shy but loving cats, ready for adoption.
Felix and Boo are prime examples of how quickly the feral instinct develops in outdoor-born kittens. Earning their trust and transforming them into house cats can take months or even years. RCR has many stories of cats who are happiest roaming their small territories, looked after by volunteers who ensure they are fed, watered, and sheltered year-round. However, we also have many success stories, like Adele and Matlock, who will be available for adoption in the new year!
Help us fulfill Felix and Boo's Christmas wish and support their friends in need. 🎁🐾

🎄 The 10th Stray of Christmas: Meet Colony Cat Charlie! 🎄
Charlie's Christmas wish is to help all his friends at the RCR colonies get the food and vet care they need. They love Kirkland kibble, Friskies wet food, and the occasional can of sardines!
Lately, Charlie hasn’t been feeling his best, but he's incredibly grateful to the determined women on the Regina Cat Rescue Community Cat team who wouldn’t give up on him. As one of RCR’s community cats, his feeding station is in North Central. The Community Cat team noticed his "kitty cold" at the end of November. Charlie, not realizing they were trying to help, did his best to avoid them, making them chase him several times a day. But on December 5th, luck was on his side when one of the team managed to corner him in the feeding station. He had taken shelter in a transfer cage, too tired and sick to put up much of a fight, allowing them to finally get him to the vet.
Charlie has a severe upper respiratory infection and will be on antibiotics for almost six weeks! For the last two weeks, he has been in what his caregiver calls "protective custody." He now understands they are trying to help him and appreciates not having to compete for food.
The jury is still out on whether Charlie will choose to become a house cat once he gets better or return to the colony. For now, he's not worried because he knows he won't be sent back before he's ready. He’s even starting to enjoy the company of these determined women who are working so hard to get him back on his paws. 🐾🎅✨

🎄 The 12th Stray of Christmas: Zachary, the Face of the RCR Calendar! 🎄
Zachary's Christmas wish is for donations to help with sterilizations and medical care for all the cats in care and those that come into care throughout the year. 🎅✨🎁
Zachary had a challenging spring and summer. Left behind to fend for himself, a kind neighbour watched over him and ensured he was fed. In June, the neighbour noticed that Zachary got into a tussle with some neighborhood cats and had take a claw to the eye, which quickly became infected. RCR was contacted, and we got emergency care for Zachary which involved removing his eye.
Zachary soon found his way to a a new foster home while he healed and was ready for adoption. In a good news story Zachary became a foster fail and has happily take up the role of little spoon and is thriving in his forever home.

🎄 Our 8th Stray of Christmas: Meet Miss Yuki! 🎄
Yuki's Christmas wish is for donations to cover vet care for herself and other cats in our care with ongoing medical needs.
https://www.reginacatrescue.com/donate#donatefunds
In 2023, Yuki and seven kittens were rescued from a hoarding situation. This brave girl had a damaged eye and had to travel to the vet college in Saskatoon to see a specialist. She was diagnosed with eosinophilic keratoconjunctivitis and needed steroids, which unfortunately led to a new diagnosis: diabetes. After months of dedicated care, Yuki achieved diabetic remission and is now available for adoption!
