RCR's annual garage sale
Our annual fundraising garage sale is happening from June 2-4, and we need your help! You can help Regina’s abandoned cats by donating items (in good/working condition), helping set up, sort and price items, or by working at the garage sale. Donations will be accepted starting on Tuesday, May 23 at 3338 Westminster Road. If you can volunteer to help out, please email us. And remember to stop by the garage sale in June to support RCR by purchasing some goods, enjoying a hot dog and other treats! More details about the garage sale will be available soon on our upcoming events page.

May's Metro Cat
Thanks to Metro Pet Market for Spaying It Forward! This month, Metro paid for Tamara’s spay surgery as part of their on-going mission to foster responsible pet guardianship. Tamara is a sweet and affectionate girl who came into Regina Cat Rescue’s care when her owner became terminally ill and desperately needed to know that Tamara would be safe. Now Tamara is spayed and ready for adoption! Check out her adoption profile here and for more info about Metro Pet Market, please visit their website.

Canada Life gives back
Canada Life is celebrating 125 years of service and is marking the occasion by generously donating 125 $1,000 employee grants to organizations where their employees have volunteered more than 50 hours in a single year. Two RCR volunteers, Connie Yasinowski and France Watters, thoughtfully applied for a grant for their volunteer work and were each awarded a $1,000 donation to RCR. Thanks so much to Canada Life for giving back to the community, and to Connie and France for their dedication and support! This $2,000 donation will go a long way to help care for Regina’s abandoned cats!
