Town of Strays

















This gorgeous group of cats are all rescued strays from the nearby town of Balgonie, where they were trying to survive the winter under the steps of local businesses, foraging for whatever scraps they could find.

Luckily, Balgonie has it's own team of cat rescuers, a local family that has rescued numerous strays over the years, and spent many hours working with timid cats to help them trust people again and find adoptive families.

It's not unusual for communities and acreages surrounding Regina to see a lot of strays. Sadly, many of them experience "animal dumping", a practice in which people dump pets outside when they are no longer wanted. Other strays may make their way into town from local farms looking for food when it's cold.

Whatever their origins, this little group of strays is lucky to be safe, warm and well-fed after struggling in the recent cold. They are in the process of being spayed / neutered and vaccinated will soon be available for adoption.

We are looking for a foster home or two to help care for some of these rescues until they are adopted as six rescues at one time is a lot! If you are interested, please contact us at saskpeopleforanimals@gmail.com
