VOKRA - Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association Details
In 2000 we formed our rescue, with the plan of caring for very young, mainly bottle-feeding, kittens. This age rarely survived if found without a mother cat as there are so few people who know how, or are able to do, the round the clock care and feeding necessary. We soon found that older kittens, under the age they could safely be vaccinated, also would do much better in a foster home. Mother cats both tame and feral joined the list. Before we knew it we had gone from an average of 150 or so per year, to where we are now…at over 800 a year! We are not a shelter. We do not have a shelter. Instead we provide over 100 individual foster homes throughout the lower mainland. By organizing this way we are able to protect the very young from colds, distemper, ringworm and other contagious diseases. In a home environment, they are safe & well socialized, with lots of love and attention. If you are looking for a new friend or two for your home, please take a look through our site and then fill in an application to adopt. We have a great many cats and kittens for adoption at this time of year. VOKRA is a no kill, non-profit, registered charity. VOKRA is a committed group of volunteers dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing of homeless or unwanted cats. VOKRA provides safe homes and high-quality care while promoting responsible cat guardianship through its education, advocacy, and feral cat/trap-neuter-return programs. VOKRA is a no-kill rescue organization.
