Our Mission
The stray cat problem in Ottawa is significant and twofold: feral cat colonies exist all over the city and are not managed in part because there are no public-accessible spay/neuter-and-release programs, and these colonies grow ever larger when pet cats are not neutered or spayed and are abandoned, lost, or allowed to be outside to breed with ferals and other strays
Get adoptable stray cats off the streets and into homes
Manage stray cat colonies
About OSCatR
OSCatR is a registered Canadian Charity (No. 83641 4573 RR0001), no-kill volunteer-run cat rescue based in Ottawa, Ontario, established in 2011. OSCatR does not have a shelter or central facility and all cats are in loving foster homes allowing the cats more freedom to be cats and maximizing the use of funds and dondations.
We take in only stray, abandoned and feral cats. OSCatR is a closed admission rescue. If you know of a stray or feral cat in need of help, please fill out the Intake/TNR form and we will do our best to bring the cat in as soon as possible.
Our Cats for Adoption
At any given time, OSCatR has 50-100 cats available for adoption. All these cats are in foster homes and have been assessed for temperment and health, and all see a vet as soon as possible to be vaccinated and spayed/neutered. We take care to ensure that homes and cats are well-suited to each other.
Our Feral Cats
OSCatR feels that feral cats deserve the best life possible, even if that life is outdoors. Community members make this possible by feeding and monitoring feral cats, which are humane-trapped by OSCatR, spayed/neutered and released back into the colony. OSCatR does not test for FIV or FeLV; instead, we spay/neuter to prevent the spread of these diseases as much as possible.
