Feral Cat
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 Rescue 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.
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 SPAYS & NEUTERS ARE BACK!
We have found an angel who would like to donate the kind of funding it would take to continue this program! The Cowichan Valley Regional District has contributed $10,000.00 to support our low cost program for another year. We are incredibly lucky to be living in this community with such a progressive local government. I wish you all would drop them a line or call your local director to thank them on behalf of everyone in this community who cares about the welfare of our pets and our disadvantaged people.As a result, application forms will be back in Duncan Pets by the end of the May long weekend and appointments will be set up within a week or two after that.
Please pass the word to any one you know who can get the word out to those who need to hear about it — cat and kitten owners living below the poverty line.
We are always up to something in the fund raising department, so be sure to check out our Events Page for what’s new!
We are wishing all of our friends and supporters, our feeders and trappers and foster homes, our donors and everyone else whose life is touched by a cat the very best of the season, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

** 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.
