Cat shelter

100% volunteer-run, no-kill shelter in Montreal, dedicated to the well-being of cats

No-kill shelter

No animal is euthanized unless they are suffering from an incurable disease and no longer have an adequate quality of life.

Sterilization and microchipping

All of our cats are spayed or neutered, dewormed, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to joining their new families.

100% volunteer

The organization consists solely of volunteers. Because of their efforts, cats that have been abandoned by their owners or are homeless are offered another opportunity for a better life.

Cat lovers

The volunteers at the shelter tend to our cats and their habitat twice daily, ensuring we provide them with the highest quality care.

What people think of our refuge

My husband and I had a great experience when adopting our lovely cat Tofu (also known as Mr. Magoo) at Animal Rescue Network. We appreciated the professionalism and the rapid communication with our consultant. The adoption fees were also incredibly reasonable, considering all that they offer and how expensive vet services are right now.

Adopter

I have nothing but good things to say about Animal Rescue Network. I adopted my little cocotte there a few years ago. The process, although rigorous and with good reason, went very well. The consultant knows all about little cats' personalities, which is a great help in finding the perfect match for a successful adoption.
