Who is RCR? Q&A with an RCR volunteer
RCR's fundraising team does some of the organization's most important - but often overlooked - work. They're constantly planning, developing and executing fundraising initiatives to help RCR pay its veterinary bills. Without their vital work RCR wouldn't be able to help cats in need. In this edition of Meet our Volunteers, we catch up Krista Hopko who has been volunteering with the fundraising committee for the last six years.

June's Metro Cat
Thanks to Metro Pet Market for Spaying It Forward! This month, Metro paid for Jersey’s spay surgery as part of their on-going mission to foster responsible pet guardianship. Jersey’s a sweet and spunky kitten who was orphaned along with her littermates at a young age. Now Jersey is spayed and ready for adoption! Check out her adoption profile here and for more info about Metro Pet Market, please visit www.metropetmarket.ca.

Forever homes found. A total of 20 cats and kittens found their forever homes in May.
Foster homes needed. RCR desperately needs foster homes willing to take adult cats both for short-term placements (1-2 weeks) to help cover foster homes' summer holidays and normal placements (lengths vary from a couple of weeks to a few months). If you can open your home and heart to a cat in need, complete the volunteer application form here.
Pet Valu adoption event. RCR will be at the Pet Valu Rochdale location with adoptable kitties from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 11. Come meet the newest feline member of your family!
Love brunch? RCR will be hosting a 'BrunchRaiser' at The Capitol Restaurant & Cocktail Bar on July 10. So save the date and stayed tuned to our upcoming events listings for more info as it becomes available.
Election results. The provincial election may be long over but the results for RCR are just now rolling in. Four RCR volunteers worked the election and donated their pay to RCR for a donation of over $1,000. A huge thanks to those volunteers who put in a very long day in support of RCR and democracy!
BINGO! RCR always needs help working fundraising bingos. Upcoming shifts include June 14, 24 & 29. More info here!
