2 TORONTO CAT RESCUE ANNUAL REPORT / JUNE 2013 Letter From The Executive Active Volunteers: Adoptions: 1,786 Colonies Actively Trap-Neutered- Returned (TNR): 29 We are very proud to be part of an organization that is lucky to have many dedicated and passionate volunteers. Our volunteers work endless hours to save and care for cats until they reach their forever homes. We are unique in that we have a foster care based rescue where our cats are given plenty of TLC before they are posted for adoption. We know our cats well which is how we are able to place them in ideal homes. Toronto Cat Rescue's strengths lie in our ability to rescue as many cats as we can and have them adopted quickly into new homes. We want to continue build on those strengths in the future and look at how to streamline the work we do so we can be more successful and more effective. Sincerely, Kyra Augustyn on behalf of the TCR Executive 2

3 TORONTO CAT RESCUE ANNUAL REPORT / JUNE 2013 Highlights of TCR s Activities We had a record-breaking 1,786 adoptions in 2012! We raised $31,400 at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon in October 2012 We answered 1,204 calls on our Help for Cats hotline between January-May 2013 We had a very successful Adopt a Black Cat special in the month of February 2013 with 22 black cat adoptions, representing 20% of our February adoptions. We raised $16,800 at our 9th annual Bowl-a-thon for cats in May 2013 We welcomed many new volunteers in all areas of need. Join us and volunteer today! Thank you to our supporters: volunteers, adopters & donors 3

4 TORONTO CAT RESCUE ANNUAL REPORT / JUNE 2013 Volunteers We are very grateful to our 500+ volunteers who make our organization possible. Toronto Cat Rescue is 100% volunteer, with no paid employees. Join our passionate, dedicated team today by filling in our volunteer application, available on our website. Our volunteers donate their time helping cats by: advertising, adopt-a-thons, bottle feeding, t-shirts, communicating, cleaning, coordinating, driving, designing, ing, events, fostering, colony feeding, Facebook, fundraising, grooming, giving medicine to kitties, helping the public, ironing, jumping for joy with each adoption, keeping lists, liaising, listening, answering & asking medical questions, naming kittens, PR, pamphlets, paying bills, picking up money, paperwork, phoning, questioning potential adopters, rescuing, recovery, screen printing, spay/neuter booking, sub-q, screening adopters and new foster homes, taking pictures, tax receipts, trapping, Twitter, updating lists, vet appointments, website, x-rays, yawning at midnight, zipping around the GTA! Feature: TCR s Post-Adoption Counsellor TCR s small but committed Post-Adoption Counsellor team plays a critical role within the organization. Our coordinators Darlene, Glenda, Jenn, Marcia, Nalini and Taunya are there for adopters after they have taken their new cat home should they have any questions or concerns, thus reducing the likelihood of return or abandonment. Support during and after the adoption process is equally important and ensures that each cat finds their perfect forever home. Post Adoption Counsellors also help facilitate bringing cats back into the program when their forever home doesn't work out. The work that the team does is so valuable. Thank you! 4

5 TORONTO CAT RESCUE ANNUAL REPORT / JUNE 2013 Rescue In Action TCR Volunteers better the lives of cats of all ages and personalities. We rescue cats from: - High-Volume Shelters - Feral Cat Colonies - First Nations Reserves - Stray Rescuers & Owner Surrenders Pictured: Allen, rescued January 2013, adopted. Allen's story is truly one of rescue and is a testament to what love, dedication and patience can do to build trust and a strong bond between an animal and a human. Allen was living outside of a TCR foster homes' house. The foster mom would see him on a regular basis and felt sick to know he was outside in the cold of winter trying to survive on his own. So she started to feed him. Once he started to come to the house every day for food she trapped him to get him neutered and checked over by the vet, and more importantly to have him assessed so she would know if he was adoptable. The vet determined he was feral and should be released to a barn. Well, his foster mom decided to instead release him back outside of her house because that was the environment he knew and was comfortable with, and this way she could also feed him and provide shelter for him. So that is what she did. Eventually after months of this Allen started to sit at the door and look into the house. He would watch the other cats inside playing and they would sit on the other side of the glass at the door and paw at him - also inviting him to come inside. He never did! His foster mom kept talking to him and telling him to just come inside and be warm and safe and then he would never have to be alone again. Then one night as the weather reporters were calling for the storm of the winter Allen's foster mom left the front door open a crack and walked away. Allen finally came into the house! He just walked in. It was like he knew he couldn't survive another big snowstorm with frigid temperatures. Allen became a totally social cat; even fine when new people came over to his foster mom s house. He adored the other cats in his foster home and followed them around everywhere. He learned from them how to be a cat: how to play, how to relax, how to enjoy pets and cuddles and how to love! 5

6 TORONTO CAT RESCUE ANNUAL REPORT / JUNE 2013 Rescue In Action Featured Feral Colony The 707 Colony Location: Kennedy/Eglinton in Scarborough Colony size: 32 cats 28 cats are fixed, 1 died, 3 disappeared 12 cats were rescued from the colony and adopted Pictured: Geisha In December of 2011, a woman reported that she had been feeding approximately 15 feral cats in Scarborough. She was moving to another province and needed someone to continue the feeding. TCR answered her plea and what we saw was nothing but chaos and a burnt-out caregiver. We were shown six different feeding spots within a one-kilometer radius. All of the cats were intact and breeding and no shelters were in place. Further assessment revealed that there were actually cats. This figure did not include the 20 spring kittens that died harsh deaths from sickness, cold, predators and cars. This colony was in dire straits, and our steadfast TCR volunteers sprung into action to end the cycle of breeding and harsh deaths. In January of 2012, the TNR work began. By March of 2012, a committed group of volunteer feeders were found, insulated shelters and proper feeding stations were put in place and the original six feeding areas were narrowed down to two spots. Narrowing down the feeding stations stopped the cats from crossing a busy major intersection. It has taken well over a year to stabilize the population in the 707 colony due to one trap savvy female that we named Geisha. She has had 3 litters since the TNR work began, but because it became a properly managed colony, all the kittens were brought in for socialization and adoption. TNR requires time, patience and perseverance to effectively complete the job. After various trap strategies, our elusive Geisha was finally trapped and spayed, thus ending the kitten cycle in the 707 colony. These days, 707 feeders merrily greet nothing but ear-tipped cats in this fully TNR d, properly managed colony. 6

7 TORONTO CAT RESCUE ANNUAL REPORT / JUNE 2013 ADOPTED! Angus (new name: Rollie ) Rescued in September 2012, Adopted in March 2013 Sweet Rollie spent six months in a TCR foster home before he found his forever family. We estimated him to be about 5 years old at the time. It is not uncommon for middle aged or mature cats such as this big boy to have a harder time finding their forever home, but when they do we are always thrilled! When Rollie was originally rescued he was covered in fleas and had a bad case of tapeworm. After being treated, he grew (literally) into a healthy, rotund boy. Rollie s new mom wrote to TCR: Rollie comes up to me often and looks at me with those beautiful pale green eyes of his. I give him cuddles and strokes and he seems to love that. Even though I have dry food out 24/7, Rollie looks as though he has lost some weight, in the past 7 months, probably because of the exercise he gets playing. He is a happy boy now, very affectionate and sweet. Always playing with my kitten, Monkey who will be one year old on October 1. They run and spar and lick each other. Rollie is forever grooming Monkey. I named him Monkey because when he was little, he repeatedly climbed up my body and sat on my shoulder. It just kind of stuck.
