We are a safe haven for rats and other small animals that need it. It is a lot of work done mainly alone. I love every minute of it though. We do education, adoption, rehabilitation, hospice and pet sitting. To the world you are just one person, to a rat you are the world.

ClimateScience aims to empower people to make real long-term solutions to climate change actionable through climate education. We hope our way of covering solutions makes people excited to contribute to clean energy, sustainable agriculture, and other global-scale sustainability issues – beyond reusing their plastic bags. We believe education is the most powerful tool in the fight against climate change.

People for Animals of Saskatchewan Inc. (Regina Cat Rescue) is a Regina-based, non-profit, volunteer-run animal welfare organization and registered charity which works to assist companion animals in need and to educate the public about the humane treatment of pets and other animals. In addition to conducting animal rescue and rehabilitation operations we provide them with necessary veterinary care such as spay/neuter, identification, vaccination and rehabilitate these animals for adoption into loving homes.

Regina Cat Rescue (RCR) is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization and registered charity that helps abandoned cats and kittens and educates people about the humane treatment of pets.

We rescue cats and kittens found on the streets and provide them with necessary veterinary care such as spay/neuter surgeries, deworming, identification, vaccination and any rehabilitation necessary for adoption into loving homes.

We also trap, neuter/spay, and return feral cats back into colonies, followed by long-term care and feeding by dedicated volunteers.

Finally, we feel strongly that education is the key to success in addressing the severe plight of cat overpopulation in our city. We educate the public on the importance of sterilization, responsible pet care, and the benefits of well-maintained community cat colonies.

The Regina Humane Society is a registered non-profit charity that respectfully serves animals and the community.

We offer compassionate, professional, and caring adoption, cremation, animal protection services, and educational and public safety programs.
