Regina Cat Rescue (RCR) is a volunteer-run Registered Charity and Non-Profit Organization based in Regina and was established in 1982. Regina Cat Rescue’s legal name is People for Animals of Saskatchewan Inc. and are a member organization of Humane Canada.
Types of Animals they work with: Cats
Their Vision is that all cats in Regina are cared for and valued.
Their Mission is to sterilize and care for cats from Regina’s streets, facilitate adoptions and promote responsible pet guardianship.
RCR rescues cats and kittens found on the streets and provides them with necessary veterinary care such as spay/neuter surgeries, deworming, identification, vaccination and any rehabilitation necessary for adoption into loving homes. They also trap, neuter/spay, and return feral cats back into colonies, followed by long-term care and feeding by dedicated volunteers. Finally, they feel strongly that education is the key to success in addressing the severe plight of cat overpopulation in Regina. They educate the public on the importance of sterilization, responsible pet care, and the benefits of well-maintained community cat colonies.

Regina Cat Rescue is always looking for volunteers to help foster animals as there is no short supply in animals in need.
To be a foster with RCR you need to be located within a reasonable distance of Regina as they work with certain vets in the area and fosters need to be able to travel to these partner clinics for any medical appointments, be available for adoption events and meet with potential adopters.
RCR supplies all necessary food, litter, toys/beds, and veterinary care including spay/neuter. Their experienced team is highly responsive to support you with any questions or concerns you may have along the way. Placement of rescued cats can range from a few weeks to upwards of six months, depending on the needs of the cats and adoption activity.
