Salt Spring Cat Orphanage is a small, foster-based rescue committed to improving the lives of the most vulnerable felines—neonatal, orphaned, and abandoned kittens. Through our dedicated rescue efforts and compassionate foster care, we provide these kittens a safe haven and the chance to thrive. By focusing on kittens that need additional care, we help free up other foster families for our rescue partners.

Years of experience have given us invaluable knowledge and skills, from hand-rearing neonates to assisting timid or traumatized kittens on their journey toward building trust and confidence. This includes caring for the smallest neonates requiring round-the-clock attention, as well as kittens with ringworm and parasitic infections that need extensive quarantine measures. We tailor our approach to meet each kitten’s needs, ensuring a fear-free and choice-driven socialization process.

Our commitment goes beyond rescue to include education, advocacy, and outreach as we strive to raise awareness about the importance of spaying/neutering, responsible pet ownership, and the welfare of our feline companions.
