About Us
Annex Cat Rescue is a 100% volunteer charity dedicated to addressing the plight of homeless cats in the Greater Toronto Area by:
- Humanely trapping homeless kittens and abandoned or stray adult cats for placement in our foster and adoption program
- Feeding and providing medical care for community cats in designated colonies
- Curbing population growth in those colonies through trapping, spaying/neutering, and vaccinating
- Educating the public on the compassionate treatment of homeless cats and responsible pet ownership
- Improving urban environments through community cooperation
Annex Cat Rescue is a proud member of the Toronto Feral Cat TNR Coalition.
As a 100% Volunteer run organization with no office or shelter, the success of Annex Cat Rescue depends on the dedication of our volunteers.
Cat Adoption With A Difference
Annex Cat Rescue receives no funding and relies exclusively on donations to maintain our services.
Each cat receives good food and medical care and lots of personal attention. We get to know each cat, so we can help you find the best cat for you.
How To Adopt
Please contact us if you are thinking of adopting a cat or kitten.
Check out our Adoptable cats and then contact us to let us know which cat(s) you are interested in.
One of our Adoption Team volunteers will contact you to schedule an adoption interview.
Following an adoption interview, we will schedule a meet and greet with the foster cat, in person or virtually.
If it’s a match, we will help you finalize the adoption.
Our Success Stories
Happy Tail: Riker(formerly Ponzu)
Finding the right cat for your home is tough, and so is finding the right home for cat. It needs to be a perfect fit, so the cat can be safe and happy and thrive, and the humans can get all the joy a new family member can bring. For Riker, that perfect fit was with Kimberly and Andrew.
Happy Tail: Louise
Louise is a sweet cat with a big heart. This spunky girl came into the ACR’s care and because of her bodacious personality, she immediately won over Marissa, Louise’s foster as well as adopter, making this Happy Tail a “foster fail.”
Happy Tail: Cleo
When Aaron came across Cleo’s profile on the Annex Cat Rescue website, he immediately said to Lisa, “This is our cat!” She was a mature cat at five years old and was known to groom and cuddle up to other cats in her colony. “If we were going to get a friend for Sass, Cleo seemed like a great fit,” said Lisa. “It was meant to be.”
Happy Tail: Mr. Parmesan
When Chloe and Britton came to meet Mr. Parmesan, Joanne knew they would make great adoptive parents. They got on the floor with him and were very gentle and patient. Although he was such a joy to foster, Joanne knew that this was the right match for Mr. Parmesan and was happy to see him going to a home where he would be so loved.
