We are a 100% volunteer based organization that strives to help animals in need. Whether an animal ends up at a local pound or is found as a stray trying to survive on it’s own, we want to do what we can to assist. While the initial plan was to operate out of foster homes where the animal can reside in a safe, loving environment while they await adoption to a forever home, lack of committed and re
liable foster homes has changed the rescue into more of a shelter facility operated out of our rescue founder’s home. In October 2016, an 8 acre rural property and home south of Sperling, MB was purchased by Kathy and rescue operations were relocated there. All animals in our care are seen by a veterinarian and will be spayed/neutered, tattooed, vaccinated, and dewormed prior to adoption. We operate on a small scale and can only take in new animals when we have space at the shelter or an appropriate foster home available and when we are in a position financially to provide the supplies and care necessary. Kat’s Kritters is unique in that we offer a cage free environment where animals in our care can live enriching lives, learn from other animals, and progress at their own pace. Please consider donating and/or volunteering to help us on this journey to save lives. We are a unique rescue in that we make a commitment to each animal that comes into our care and strive to find each animal the forever home best suited to it’s individual needs, regardless of how long that takes. We take our time getting to know each individual animal and do not rush them through our system. While we may not take in and adopt out large numbers of animals each year, every animal in our care receives the absolute best quality of life. After they have been fully cleared by our veterinarians, all animals are given an opportunity to de-stress in our Director’s home in a rural, cage free environment. Dogs co-habitate and socialize with other dogs, and cats join one of three free range rooms where they can interact with other cats. In 2020, the rescue began transitioning away from an adopting rescue and towards a Sanctuary for animals that are deemed “unadoptable” for reasons of behaviour or health. These animals will live out their lives at the rescue or in a permanent foster situation. We will continue to seek adoptive homes for our more adoptable Kritters, including transfer to adopting rescues we trust, but are continuing our shift towards offering an enriching, high quality life on a permanent basis for those most in need. We will also continue to expand our Community Services, to help animals and their owners in various ways through outreach programs. We are always in need of monetary and supply donations to keep us in operation! Contact us for details on how you can help and be part of making a difference in the lives of animals in need!
