CatSpan Ferals Registered Charity (CFRC) is a non-profit, registered Canadian charity. For 30 years, CFRC has cared for thousands of abandoned, stray, and feral cats in the Oceanside community on Vancouver Island. We are strictly volunteer-based and rely solely on donations and fundraising events. 100% of all proceeds go directly towards feline care. CatSpan's initiatives include:
- Responding to concerns about abandoned, stray, and feral cats and assisting as needed.
- Organizing adoptions for cats who are ready for life with loving humans.
- Providing vet care for all of our felines, from basic spay/neuter and vaccines, to urgent rescue cases in need of life-saving treatment.
- Educating the community about cats in need and other important feline topics.
CURRENT NEWS
Kitten Season is here... and we need your help!
|
We have several groups of kitten in our care right now, plus many other hungry mouths to feed! We feed nursing momma cats high-calorie kitten food, so she can make enough milk to nurse her little ones. Other kittens in our care are starting to eat solid food. Another group of kittens is in a growth spurt, eating six cans of kitten food a day, as well as having bottomless bowls of kitten kibbles. AND we have a number of ‘teenagers’ and adult cats in foster care. We’re going through a lot of food.
Please note: Current cats and kittens in our care will be posted on our Adoptables page and social media when they are ready for adoption. Applications will not be accepted prior to posting. |
