7 Questions with Toronto Cat Rescue

Interview by Allan Tong (photos: Jenn Wilson)

n 1994, a group of volunteers banded together to help Toronto's feral cat population and strays. Toronto Cat Rescue grew as other organizations formed also to help ferals. TCR's executive director, Belinda Vandersluis (above), explains how her rescue, one of Canada's largest, has evolved.

What is TCR's mission?

To rescue and find homes for abandoned, sick or injured cats from abuse, neglect or imminent euthanasia. We take care of cats having a hard time at a shelter or who need extra support to become an adoptable cat one day. Cats can be sick, shy or scared. With our network of foster homes, we can take time to assess a cat, help it be more social, get it the veterinary and dental care it needs, and provide a loving home for as long as it takes until the cat is adopted.
