Earlier this week, we shared an exciting first for Regina Cat Rescue—one of our community cats was officially adopted! Today, we’re thrilled to share Bailey’s heartwarming story. In 2019, Regina Cat Rescue was called to help a group of community cats living near an auto sales business. Five cats were trapped, sterilized, and cared for, with four returning to their outdoor home. One cat, Nitro, had a different fate in store. A year later, Nitro started hanging around a local family’s yard, watching from trees and rooftops, never getting too close—earning him the new name Bailey, because he was always bailing over the fence. Over time, he built trust, accepting pets but refusing to come inside, even in brutal winter temperatures. His family set up a cozy outdoor shelter, heated water bowl, and food station, doing everything they could to keep him safe. Then, the -40°C cold finally convinced him to step inside… for three days. Over the next few years, Bailey came in during storms and deep freezes, but never for more than a few days at a time. When his family moved in December—right in the middle of a -35°C cold snap—they knew they couldn’t leave him behind. What happened next shocked everyone. In a new home, Bailey made a choice: after five years of careful trust-building, he finally embraced the indoor cat life. Now officially adopted, Bailey spends his days warm, safe, and loved. Bailey’s story is a reminder that every cat moves at their own pace, and sometimes, love and patience can change a life. 💛 #CommunityCatToCouchCat #AdoptDontShop #ReginaCatRescue #BaileysBigMove #CommunityCats #YQR #YQRCats #catsofinstagram

Community Cat Team

Did you know we have a Community Cat Team? Here’s Leanne Toth to tell you more! At Regina Cat Rescue, volunteers from our Community Cat Team go out every day to care for stray and feral cats. By providing food, water, and shelter, we ensure these cats are safe and healthy. Through our Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program, we humanely manage the community cat population by spaying or neutering feral cats and returning them to their community where they will be happiest. Cats and kittens that are adoptable are brought into our care, where they are socialized and placed in loving homes. We aim to create a better life for every cat we encounter while reducing overpopulation. Together, we can make a difference for community cats!

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. #YQR #AdoptdontShop #YQRCats #Kirby #ReginaCatRescue #RCR #rescuecat #rescuedismyfavoritebreed

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
