April's Metro Cat
Thanks to Metro Pet Market for Spaying It Forward! This month, Metro paid for Louisa's spay surgery as part of their on-going mission to foster responsible pet guardianship.
Louisa is a sweet young cat who turned up hungry and lonely at the home of a cat-loving family. Now she's making herself right at home in RCR foster care while she waits to be adopted. Check out her adoption profile and for more info about Metro Pet Market, please visit their website.

Make a donation by buying a “paw” at Pet Valu South and support local rescues! Plus, when you buy a paw (minimum donation $1), you’ll receive a voucher for $5 off your next purchase over $40 at Pet Valu. Proceeds from paw donations in April will be split between Regina Cat Rescue, Bright Eyes Dog Rescue and The Pack Project. RCR will also be holding an adoption event at Pet Valu on Saturday, April 16. Volunteers and adoptable RCR cats will be ready to meet you from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Pet Valu South (4662 Gordon Road). We hope to see you there!

Who is RCR? Q&A with an RCR volunteer
Bottle feeding neonatal kittens is such a demanding job that RCR currently only has three volunteers available to take the task on. This month we catch up with one of them, Danielle Gauthier Kratz. Danielle has been involved as a volunteer and employee with animal welfare organizations for over 20 years. In this Q&A she shares the ups and downs of caring for young kittens, and how she fits feeding them every two hours into her daily schedule.

Meet Gizmo!
This month’s feature cat is Gizmo. This seven-month-old sweetie is playful, energetic and affectionate. He gets along well the other cats in his foster home and would make a great addition to any family looking for a fun feline friend.
