Stray Cat Rescue Organization


Enriching lives, one cat at a time.

Whisker Rescue (whiskerrescue@live.com) located in Red Deer, Alberta, is a non-profit charitable organization (851423426RR0001)   that strives to provide basic needs such as shelter, food, medical attention, and adoption opportunities to stray, homeless & surrendered cats in our care.  We are a no-kill organization that relies on volunteers & foster families to give every cat that enters our adoption program the time, patience, love and cuddles they need until their forever homes can be found. 

Each cat is vet checked, tested for Feline Leukemia, vaccinated, de-wormed, spayed or neutered, and tattooed or micro-chipped. We have several programs where the adoption fees are variable such as "Seniors for Seniors, Positive Pals, Special Needs and also Barn Buddies (where cats unsuitable for indoors can be adopted for free)".  This also includes a Lifetime Return Policy, with a full refund within one month of the date of adoption!

Although we do not have a shelter, we are fortunate to work in cooperation with several facilities around Red Deer that have generously donated space to help us adopt our lucky felines into loving homes. Please contact us for locations where our cats can be cuddled and adopted. Also check out the links (to the right) for several clinics that help us out. We are sincerely grateful to these local participating vet hospitals that generously support our charity.  In addition, we are very fortunate and thankful for our amazing and successful partnerships with Olds College and Alberta Animal Services.  Our warmest gratitude for their support and wonderful friendship which has directly helped us in countless ways.  Together, we save hundreds of lives!  

Please understand, we are a small society run by just a few cat lovers.  We will do our best to assist those who need to surrender their cats, print out surrender form, but currently have a waiting list for the less urgent situations. 

What We Do

Some examples of what the Whisker Rescue Society has given to felines in need:

  • Financial assistance to families (when funds are available) to assist in spaying or neutering their own cats to help control stray populations.

  • A warm kennel and cuddles from our volunteers and vet staff.

  • Time spent nurturing and bottle-nursing kittens without mothers.

  • Food and supplies such as litter, litter boxes, blankets and toys for foster homes.

  • Medication for cats and kittens suffering from diseases and infections (i.e.. Upper Respiratory)
