Whisker Rescue is a non-profit charitable organization (#85142 3426 RR0001) located in Red Deer, Alberta, 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 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 and FIV viruses, vaccinated, de-wormed, spayed or neutered, and tattooed or micro-chipped. The adoption fee is $125, and cats 8 years and older are $65.

We are fortunate to work in cooperation with several facilities in Red Deer that have generously donated space to help us adopt our lucky felines into loving homes. 

Our cats can be visited and adopted in Red Deer through the Deer Park Pet Hospital at 420-Allan Street, Piper Creek Veterinary Hospital at #1-166-37428 Range Road 273 or our Whisker Rescue Adoption room located in the All In One Pet Care Facility at 4831-53rd Street, and at several PetSmart locations across Alberta;  RedDeer (5001-19th Street), Edmonton (3289 Calgary Trail & 2066-38th Ave NW), and Calgary in South Trail Crossing (81-4307-130th Ave SE).A

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 off the surrender form here), 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)
