November's Metro Cat

Thanks to Metro Pet Market for Spaying It Forward! This month, Metro paid for Savannah's spay surgery as part of their mission to foster responsible pet guardianship.

Meet Zima!

He's a delightful, mature fellow whose favourite activity is snoozing in sunbeams. This laid-back cat has been fostered with other cats and introduced to dogs, but would also do well as an only cat. Learn more about Zima .

Amazing solo rescue.
A big shout out to Darren from the Lumsden area for his extraordinary efforts in one amazing rescue. Darren rescued and socialized a beautiful kitty he named Brucey this summer, but he didn't stop there. He covered the cost of Brucey's spay surgery, and undertook finding her a home. When that home ended up being with a friend in B.C., Darren even covered Brucey's flights to her new home two province's away. Impressive work, Darren!

Forever homes found:
A total of 33 cats were adopted in October.

What is love?
Jayna Nicholson is selling copies of her book What is love? A story of mama cat and baby cat and will be donating a portion of the proceeds to RCR. D etails available here .

Cecil, Blanche & George:
Our crowdfunding kitties are thankful for all the support! Blanche's surgery was performed on Oct. 23 and she's recovered wonderfully. Cecil's surgery is scheduled for Nov. 30 and George's surgery is scheduled for Dec. 1. Good luck, boys!
