Cat Rescue, Sick Cats, Kittens, Feral Cats, Trap Neuter Return Program
Cowichan Cat Rescue was formed in 1999 when we found "Rocky," an old, sick feral cat desperately in need of help and discovered there was no help available for such cats in the Cowichan Valley.**
Cowichan Cat Recue is a federally registered charity operated by a Board of Trustees and a group of volunteers dedicated to improving life for homeless cats in the Cowichan Valley.NEW EVENTS AND PROGRAMS

Trap Neuter Return Program for Cats
Cowichan Cat Rescue operates a “trap, neuter, and return” program (a “TNR” program) for feral and wild cats. Cats are trapped and taken to one of the many local vets who support our program, where they are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, checked over and treated for parasites, and then returned to the place where they were trapped.
After their return the cats are provided whenever possible with a regular supply of food so they are no longer in danger of starving when hunting gets bad in the winter months.
Low-cost Spay & Neuter for Cats
Because domestic cats that have not been “fixed” are the source of many of the wild cats we end up dealing with, we try to have low cost spay days at least once a year for those living on very low incomes, who otherwise could not afford to get their cat spayed. We are currently researching the possibility of adding a low cost spay program to our work with feral cats.
Cowichan Cat Rescue is Now on Facebook!
Why not join us on Facebook and become a fan? We are just starting this site, but in a few weeks it should be jam packed with fun stuff and photos.
**Don't leave us hanging! What happened to Rocky???
We are happy to report that with some privately donated money, Rocky got the medical attention he needed and lived the final days of his life in comfort, surrounded by affection, warmth and food. Such should be the life of every cat.
