Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association Details
Formed in 2000, VOKRA rescues over 1800 cats & kittens per year, placing them in loving foster homes until they can be permanently adopted.Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA) is a no-kill, non-profit, registered charity dedicated to the rescue of cats in the Lower Mainland. We also coordinate rescue work with other groups in BC.VOKRA does not have a shelter. Instead, we provide over 250 individual foster homes throughout the Lower Mainland. In this way we are able to protect the very young from colds, distemper, parasites and other transmissible illnesses. Another crucial part of VOKRA's work is our trap/neuter/release program. Our teams of volunteers humanely trap feral cats and kittens. Pregnant feral mothers are cared for through birthing and until their kittens are weaned, at which time we spay the mother and socialize the kittens so that they can be adopted. If the mother cannot be tamed, she is returned to a location where volunteers ensure food and water are available daily, and the cat's health can be monitored. We also neuter feral male cats, and either adopt them out or release them as appropriate, with the same care arrangements.VOKRA has grown rapidly since its founding, from approximately 150 kittens and adult cats per year to over 800 in 2008, over 1400 in 2009 and over 1800 in 2013.
