Operation Tom Cat

Shelters and rescues across Alberta are overwhelmed each spring/summer season with litters of kittens. Cats are over-populated in our province and Whisker Rescue strongly believes the humane solution is spaying & neutering.

Operation Tom Cat is a no cost neuter project for male cats owned by low income families living within Central Alberta. This project is possible because of generous support from the Alberta government’s Community Initiative Program, Zoetis, and our local vet clinic partners. Each male cat will be neutered, vaccinated, and de-wormed at no charge to the owner. Whisker Rescue’s goal is to neuter 200 male cats in one year!! The application process is simple; download a form and apply today.

Guardian Angel Program

Sponsor a cat. By becoming a Guardian Angel, you can make a meaningful difference in the lives of cats in need – one special cat at a time! These cats deserve every opportunity for love, compassion and a forever home and your gift of support for the cats in our care will help to make that happen. All it takes is a monthly pledge of $25 per cat. Here’s how it works:

• Review the adoptable animals
• Select a cat to sponsor from cats waiting to be adopted or from our list of Purrmanent Whisker Residents, Special Needs cats or Senior cats
• Decide how long you would like to sponsor: until the kitty gets adopted or 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. (You can change this at any time.)
• Your name and a picture of the cat you have sponsored will appear on our Facebook page
• A tax receipt will be issued and we will notify you when the cat has been adopted
• Looking for a unique gift for someone in your life? Sponsor one of our cats as a gift, and we will mail that person a letter and photo of the sponsored cat and send you a tax receipt!

Simply download the sponsorship form, fill it out and return it to Whisker Rescue along with your first months sponsorship of $25 or the full amount of your sponsorship!

Seniors for Seniors

Our senior cats are free to seniors looking for loving companionship, and they can be returned at any time for any reason. Whisker Rescue will cover any veterinary bills that arise and can also help supply food and litter IF needed. All you need to supply is a safe indoor home, and a warm lap to curl up in.

Barn Buddies

The Barn Buddies program at Whisker Rescue is temporarily suspended.
Please try Alberta Animal Services or Klassic Kennels if you are inquiring about barn cats.

Positive Pals

These cats have tested positive for Feline Leukemia but still have lots of love to give. Consider adopting a buddy if you have a cat that has tested positive, or if you would just like to open your heart to those that need a special place. These cats are free to good homes!
