Pet Patrol is an entirely volunteer-run, non-profit organization in the Kitchener - Waterloo area. We give cats a second chance, and an opportunity for a full life as we are NO KILL. Pet Patrol helps cats that have been abandoned, found ill, or homeless find new families. We are a registered charity and rely solely on donations to cover our extensive Veterinary costs, which can total $40,000 per year. We receive no assistance from our municipality or government. Pet Patrol does not believe an animal should be euthanized if they are unwanted or ill and can regain their health. We do everything in our capacity to make sure that all opportunities for the cat are met. We not only rely on conventional Veterinary care, but also alternative therapies. We also work to educate the community on the proper care of cats, and provide information aimed at reducing the homeless cat population in the KW area.
