And important message for our wonderful followers 😺 if you follow our page consistently, you know that this year has been exceptionally hard at the Rescue. We’ve seen a HUGE jump in cats coming into our care, and a DECLINE in Fosters and adopters. This spring, also known as “kitten season” has been the hardest season we’ve had to deal with in Rescue thus far. We have decided to take July and August off and concentrate on the cats and kittens already in our care and of course take care of our mental health. We can’t take care of kitties if we can’t take care of ourselves.
TCSR is a very small rescue (2 women with a passion for cats, and a handful of wonderful,extraordinary volunteers and fosters) who care for 60 + cats everyday. Every loss felt deep, every win celebrated, and every cuddle cherished.
Emails and messages will be checked periodically. Donations can be dropped off at a few drop off locations in Lethbridge and Coalhurst. Just message us for the address!
Please respect our need to step back and give us time to heal and reflect, so we can come back stronger and healthier! Our cats deserve the best versions of us.

Always much love ❤️
Ash & Steph

🐾 "I found a kitten, but I already have 3 cats..." 🐾

We hear this one a lot, and we have a little secret to share...

YOU are the help. 😂

Every time someone contacts a rescue because they found a kitten but already has a few cats, we have to gently explain that most rescue volunteers aren't operating a magical kitten-free sanctuary somewhere. We're sitting in our houses surrounded by cats too.

You have 3 cats? That's adorable.

Most of our volunteers have 15+ cats, plus fosters, plus bottle babies, plus the occasional animal that showed up and never left. 🤦‍♀️

Rescues aren't buildings full of empty cages waiting for kittens. We're regular people opening our homes, spare bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and sometimes our sanity to animals in need.

So when you find a kitten, congratulations! You may have accidentally become part of animal rescue. ❤️

We'll help with advice and resources when possible —but sometimes the biggest difference-maker is the person who found them.

And yes, we know. One kitten somehow takes up more space than 15 adult cats.

Remember the abandoned kitten from the colony? Well he’s doing amazing 😻

Would there be anyone in the area that would be willing to help us move the Catty Shack (a 12x24ft building) from its current location to another location across a highway (maybe 1-2 km)? If you are able to help with this, please message the Rescue.

We are in need of evening and weekend volunteers at our Catty Shack! If you have a couple hours to spare every week or every other week, we would greatly appreciate your help. Students if you’re looking for volunteer hours, we got them! Please message us if you have some time we know everyone has busy lives, but we also know we can’t do this alone and it takes many people to keep doing the work we do! So if you can help, please reach out!

Update on box kittens! We unfortunately lost 3 of the sweet babies, but they were not alone and they knew love for there final day. In a crazy turn of event, we found mama! She was found in a tree near the area where the kittens were found the day before. The finder noticed she was producing milk and took her home. She thankfully kept her safe for us until we could pick her up this morning. We were a little hesitant cause how often does something like that happen? Well as soon as we put mama in the room with the kittens, they were all over her and she seemed much more at ease. That is definitely something we were not expecting, but so glad it did. We were also fortunate to team up with a local rescue who was kind enough to take in the 7 kittens and mama for us! We are confident they will improve now that they have their mama back.
Thank you everyone for sharing the post and getting the word out there!

2nd Update-We lost 2 sweet babies. They were the smallest of the group. We are hopeful the remaining 8 will pull through.

UPDATE-We unfortunately lost 1 sweet baby. And another is not looking good. We are definitely not out of the woods yet, but they have started antibiotics and hopefully they continue getting better.

I’m extremely frustrated with people right now. We got a call last night just after 9 from Family Pet Hospital. They had a women bring in a cardboard box, duct taped closed, that she found under a bridge in Henderson lake. What was in the box you ask? 10!!!!! Kittens!!! Yes-10 kittens approximately 5-6 weeks old, all looking extremely sickly. We are not accepting new intakes, as like every other rescue we are over capacity dealing with irresponsible pet owners all over Southern Alberta, BUT how can I say no? These kittens deserve to be cared for and loved, and are in this situation through no fault of their own.
We need to do better! Some may argue the person responsible had no choice. Well I call bu****it. They put that box there hoping it would not be found and those kittens would starve to death. ZERO EXCUSES and I refuse to give anyone the benefit of the doubt who thinks it’s ok to do this. If you recognize these kittens, please reach out. I’d love to find mama, as with the state of these kittens, I’m sure she needs vet care as well. If you see anyone leaving animals in a situation where they are in danger, please say something. Record the interaction. Call the cops. We need to start holding these monsters responsible.
Thank you Family Pet Hospital & 24 Hour Pet Emergency Centre for caring for these sweet babies overnight-cleaning them up and making sure their bellies stay full until we could get there to assess this morning! Thank you to the lady who found the kittens and took action to get them somewhere safe, you saved 10 little lives!
We will update you all when we get them all settled.

Is anyone interested in fostering a very young mama cat and her sweet kittens? Sylvia is 6 months and there are 3 kittens who are 6-7 weeks. Used to a quiet home. They are all incredibly sweet and calm.
