RAPS Adoption & Education Centre

They pleasantly took receipt of our Ronin's (who passed over the rainbow Bridge recently) stuff.I'm happy his toys and trees will be used for their cats. I was worried I couldn't find a place for his old things.We had a chance to visit with the cats that were up for adoption, and they were really well taken care of. Happy and clean.I hope to help out this organization more in the future. I'm glad they are around.

Shame on them. I won't even go into the story, but they lied, interrogated, and manipulated me and my vet after a very difficult and sensitive time for us. We felt horrible for the cats there, they clearly don't get enough attention as they all jump and cry as soon as we walked it. The person working there told us most applications are rejected, and though spca is fortunately very low on cats, raps has wayyyy too many. Now we now why. If you can endure them and bless an animal, bless your soul. Don't expect to be treated with respect or care though.

It's a very clean and well organized place. The cats are well cared for in every way. Medical staff are always on sight taking care of those cats who need medical attention. Many other staff are there working hard to take care of the cats and to keep the place clean. Many volunteers attend on a daily basis to feed the cats, clean the litter boxes, and to wash their blankets and dishes. Kitty comforter like myself and my husband like to go and brush the cats, welcome the new comers of stray cats, visit the sick cats, and help shy cats to gain self confidence. It's a big team of paid and unpaid people who loves being with cats. Not to mention the volunteers who takes care of the gardening, bushes, and flowers around there. If you haven't seen it yet, you need to check it out one day on the weekend when they are open.

RAPS literally saves lives. When Coco was found in distress by Nanaimo Animal Control on Vancouver Island, she needed significant surgery to repair her jaws, which could not be done on the island. RAPS stepped up and provided her surgery pro bono. Coco's case required coordination between several agencies who teamed up to rescue her, and RAPS could not have been more caring, generous, and willing to help. Please support this amazing agency.

This is a really good place to get education when you are thinking about adopting, a new pet, i.e., a dog, cat, rabbit,. They provide a lot of knowledge for you before you even get your pet. It’s a great learning experience.

It's a great, caring place for cats that have suffered

I looked online to see if raps was open. It said it was open so I went there, when I got there the gate was closed. The sign on the gate said closed to the public". I think they should update their website to "temporarily closed" to prevent confusion in the future.We went there today to see what's up to adopt. nice place with friendly staff."

After doing a fair amount of research, my wife and I decided to have our dog's dental work done at RAPS.The amazing team at RAPS took such good care of Dany that we are switching all vet needs for both our pets, despite it being an hour drive round-trip for us.RAPS is a non-profit with a heartwarming and inspiring history (check out their Wikipedia).The level of care provided is absolutely amazing (search Reddit for many confirmations).RAPS is also more affordable than most other animal hospitals (other than some shady ones that should be avoided).I honestly can't recommend them enough... wish there was a 6th star!Thank you RAPS Team, you truly are heroes. <3

This place is heaven on earth! LolIf you're a cat lover, you must go visit these lovely felines. The volunteers are super friendly, really knowledgeable and welcoming! I am hooked and fell in love with this baby Dodger, one of the indoor cats, and I will definitely be back for more snuggles!

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. We found ACE the first second into the room. The process of adoption was very smooth. ACE is now getting along well with our another cat QQ. Thank you again for us to meet ACE!
