PAWS - Peoples Animal Welfare Society

Cat rescue in Toronto, ON

PAWS is a registered charity that has been providing unique assistance to all animals since 1972. We enforce a strict no-kill policy and are managed exclusively by devoted volunteers. We not only spay/neuter and vaccinate the cats we rescue ... we also blood test each and every one to either rule out or confirm FIV or FeLeuk. We are in the early stages of constructing a special shelter for the FeLeuk cats (who may never actually develop the disease but who must not interact with the others) and WE COULD REALLY USE YOUR HELP! Thank you :)
