CARES Cat Shelter

ABOUT US

Everyone's dream is of a loving home; our cats are no exception. C.A.R.E.S. provides a safe haven for homeless cats and our goal is to find permanent, loving homes for them. The cats in our care receive quality food, shelter, and medical attention. We meet the needs of homeless animals through the assistance of dedicated volunteers and from private donations. Please help give them a place to belong.

You can help the cats by:

Adopting a suitable cat
Becoming a volunteer
Becoming a C.A.R.E.S. member
Donating
Spreading the word about CARES

OUR HISTORY:

Canadian Animal Rescue and Extended Shelter (C.A.R.E.S) was formed in 1993 when a group of animal lovers wanted a shelter for animals that were homeless. We provide shelter for stray, abandoned and unwanted cats in a safe, loving, cage free environment. There is a no kill policy at C.A.R.E.S., therefore any animals that are not adopted will be able to live the rest of their natural lives at the shelter.

C.A.R.E.S. is funded entirely through membership, adoption fees, fundraising events and the generous tax-deductible donations of caring individuals and corporations. C.A.R.E.S is a non-profit Society and a registered Charity (CRA: 891350274RR0001 and the Society Act of BC: S-3201); all donations over $10 receive a tax receipt. Please contact us and make a difference!

A SAFE AND CARING HOME - THE BASIS OF A GOOD LIFE:

In February of 1998, C.A.R.E.S. began an alliance with PetSmart in Langley. Cats that are rescued, receive quality food, shelter, and veterinary care and many of those cats are then taken to the PetSmart adoption centre in the Langley store. From February, 1998 to December 2010, we have adopted out over 5000 cats from that location!

As a small, non-profit organization we rely on our community of volunteers to help us keep the shelter clean and the cats well loved. Our volunteers assist with adoptions at PetSmart as well as cleaning, caring for the cats, fostering cats and kittens and generally providing love and protection for abused, injured, hungry, lost and abandoned animals.

If you can find it in your heart to help, please call 604-532-5632 or
