Our story…

Annex Cat Rescue was founded in 1997 when several residents of the Annex neighbourhood, located in downtown Toronto, joined together to care for a local feral cat colony. We are a 100% volunteer-run, not-for-profit registered charity that does not operate an office or shelter. We receive no government funding.


Over the years, ACR’s service area, both for cats and volunteers, has grown to span the city. We now have several managed colonies stretching from Dixon Road in the west to Scarborough in the east.

We also endeavour to assist members of the community via our feral/stray email outreach program, founded in 2011 and answering requests for help for homeless cats and kittens in various situations. Through advice, referrals, and medical/trapping intervention where possible, we work to empower community members to become involved in cat care.

Since its inception, ACR has provided compassionate cat rescue work in Toronto forging partnerships to help the most vulnerable cats in our city. 


Our strength comes from our network of volunteers and our work is only possible due to the generosity of our donors and supporters who work tirelessly to improve the lives of community cats in our city.

Description

Annex Cat Rescue is dedicated to eliminating cat homelessness in Toronto. 

Until that time, we care for cats and kittens in a variety of ways including (but not limited to) daily feeding and colony management, medical/dental care, socializing, fostering, adopting or, in the case of feral cats, spaying/neutering and returning (TNR). ACR remains 100% volunteer-run with nearly 90% of monies raised helping cats in partnership with veterinarians who provide services at reduced rates.


Annex Cat Rescue relies exclusively on donations. The year 2022 marked our 25th anniversary; an amazing accomplishment for a charity that began with neighbours gathering to help homeless cats. This success is due to many committed volunteers and the generosity of our supporters. We continue to face extraordinary challenges including (but not limited to) cats requiring urgent medical and dental care as well as spay/neuter and vaccinations. Our work supporting homeless cats in our community cannot happen without ongoing support.

Please consider donating. Any amount helps!
