Every Cat Deserves a Second Chance.
Welcome to North Toronto Cat Rescue. We are a 100% no-kill, volunteer-run shelter dedicated to the art of healing and rehoming.
We’ve served the Greater Toronto Area since 1988, and are humbled to be a trusted, 100% volunteer-run charity.
The dedicated care we provide our cats, including socialization and a safe, cage-free environment, makes us one of the top choices for feline adoption in the region.
