Street Cats Animal Rescue

I adopted my cats from SCR 4 years ago.The all volunteer run rescue bent over backwards to ensure that I was the right home for the cat. I was thrilled that they are there for the well-being of the cats in their care rather than simply adopting them get their adoption numbers higher.Thank you SCR for all you do and for my sweet girl.

Great organization ran by volunteers. They really care about the well-being of each cat in their care.They ensure each adoption is the right fit for each cat, they are not about numbers.

A wonderful organization run completely by volunteers. They put the cat first above all else! It's an organization with heart. I adopted a cat through this rescue a few years ago. Great experience. Yes, response can be slow, but I would expect that when there are NO PAID STAFF.I find it disturbing that the negative reviews on here are about how Street Cats polices effected them as a person, but make no mention about how those policies put the cats interest first. Talk about selfish.If streetcats policies dont fit with your views on regularly vet checks, delaying a neuter/spay, or anything else then look elsewhere. I commend Street cats for their advocacy on the cats behalf and making tough decisions that protect the cats interest, but may hurt peoples egos/feelings.Keep up the great work StreetCats!

My two small children and I filled out an application for a kitten that was at Petsmart through Street Cats Rescue. I have been a cat owner for 29 years, and I own my own home. I was very up front on my application, I let them know from the start that I do not take my pets for annual check ups (like 50% of pet owners. I don't see my own doctor annually for a check up either). I do however, take my dog for a rabies vaccine annually at a rabies clinic. My vet also lets me purchase flea treatments for my cat and dog without a physical check. I always take my pets to the vet if there is an issue, like when my dog got stung by a bee and swelled up, took him to the vet. When my dog had a seizure at 5am on a Sunday morning, my husband drove him to an emergency vet an hour away. When he got sick with a stomach bug we took him to the vet. All my pets have been spayed or neutered and have had all their shots/deworming as recommended for puppies/kittens. I stated this on day ONE on my application. I did not receive a call back for 36 hours regarding my application. The woman on the phone told me there were no red flags on my application. Again, I was very upfront about my pets medical history. I again verbally told her what I just wrote here; all spayed and neutered, no annual checks, rabies clinics, flea treatments, and emerg. visits. She said there are no red flags." 24 more hours later she calls back and tells me she's doing the vet references

I have been volunteering with Street Cats for about a year and half now after. It's a delight to go into the shelter every week to see their adorable little faces. The shelter is well run with multiple shifts per day so it's nice to see all the cats receive so much human interaction. It's clean, roomy, and well run. I would recommend anyone thinking about donating their time to do so here or adopt from Street Cats.

It's a shame when you feel the need to write a bad review about an organization that is supposed to be helping stray cats... however it is also incredibly unfortunate to go to adopt a cat you've been looking at for a while and be turned down to a policy that can't be explained. My friend asked why they have a policy against adopting cats out to a family with another young cat that is on the spay wait list and currently not spayed (under 1 year old). They wouldn't give an answer and told her there will be other cats when you get her spayed" implying that cats are disposable and that the cat they wanted was no different than any other. She asked to speak to management and when she recieved the phone number the woman told her she was bothering her on a sunday.. then my friend tried to say "what if i wanted to make a donation?" to try to make the point that she has supported them in the past and just wants an explanation when the woman cut her off to say that my friend was bribing her. The woman in the store then told her and her boyfriend that if their cat isnt spayed

We tried to bring a stray in need here but did not have any luck.No hours listed which makes it hard for drop offs for strays in need. Wish there was a little bit more FAQ on what they offered, including hours, stray drop offs/ available room for drop offs and adoptions. I love the idea of this rescue, just wish there was more information listed about it!Luckily we were able to help the kitten and find it a new and good home on our own, but I know that a lot of people may not have the same time to do so, when wanting to do the right thing for a furry friend in need.

Having been in the animal rescue community for the last 10 or so years, Street Cats is the most organized and reliable rescue I've worked with in Barrie. Their team is dedicated to the cats in the shelter, in foster homes, and in the adoption centre. The happiness and health of the cats, and the homes they are adopted out to is their top priority. Street Cats is absolutely about finding the perfect forever home, even if it takes a little longer to find that home, than they are about adopting out as many cats as possible just for the sake of being able to say they have the highest number of adoptions - thus, leading to permanent and happy homes for both family and kitty :) This rescue and every volunteer that works within it, volunteers with the utmost compassion and care in their hearts for the cats - treating every single one as if they were their own, and it shows. Thank you Street Cats!

This shelter is amazing to adopt from and they take great care of their animals! I am extremely happy at how much they cared about their cats while I was adopting and how much information they gave me about my cat. Every volunteer I dealt with was extremely friendly and easy to deal with and they are also very responsive in getting back to you. I would recommend this shelter over any of the others in Barrie by far.

Absolutely amazing rescue. We have 3 wonderful cats from them.
