C.A.R.E.S. - Canadian Animal Rescue and Extended Shelter

C.A.R.E.S. was formed in 1993 when a group of animal lovers wanted a shelter for animals that were homeless. We provide shelter for stray, abandoned and unwanted cats in a safe, loving, cage free environment. There is a no kill policy at C.A.R.E.S., therefore any animals that are not adopted will be able to live the rest of their natural lives at the shelter.

A SAFE AND CARING HOME – THE BASIS OF A GOOD LIFE:

In February of 1998, C.A.R.E.S. began an alliance with PetSmart in Langley, British Columbia. Cats that are rescued receive quality food, shelter and veterinary care, and many of those cats are then taken to the PetSmart adoption centre in the Langley store. From February 1998 to December 2011, we have adopted out over 5400 cats from that location.

As a small, non-profit organization we rely on our community of volunteers to help us keep the shelter clean and the cats well loved. Our volunteers assist with adoptions at PetSmart as well as cleaning, caring for the cats, fostering cats and kittens and generally providing love and protection for abused, injured, hungry, lost and abandoned animals.

C.A.R.E.S. is funded entirely through memberships, adoption fees, fundraising events and the generous tax-deductible donations of caring individuals and corporations. C.A.R.E.S. is a non-profit Society and a registered Charity. All donations over $10 receive a tax receipt.
