Description The RAPS Cat Sanctuary is the only one of its kind in Canada and among the largest in North America. The Sanctuary provides a safe, forever home to hundreds of feral, abandoned and surrendered cats, most of whom are unlikely to find a family home. The Sanctuary is at the heart of RAPS’ no-kill promise. Under our care, no animal is ever euthanized due to lack of space, treatable illness, physical defect, age, behavioural or socialization issues.

Lovely people, lovely cats :3 Some cats might bite or scratch sometimes, but don’t take it to heart LOL Keep in mind that there’s over 300 cats here, which means it SMELLS like there’s hundreds of cats.

This place, though expensive, is SO WORTH IT. I’ve been wanting to visit RAPS Cat Sanctuary for so long and I’m so glad that I finally did. I understand that the price (around 17$) might be a lot for people but the hour/hour and a half I spent here was the best thing I’ve done all week. There at MANY friendly cats some even wanting to sit on you. The volunteers were so sweet and knew all the names of the cats and they made me feel so welcomed. The place is such a haven for these beautiful kitties. I would want to live here if I was a cat. It was so fun wandering around the pretty big space and just meeting and looking at all the cats. THERES SO MANY!! If you don’t have a cat (like myself) but love cats and want to spend time with them I recommend RAPS so much. It’s so much better than a “CAT Cafe” and honestly the price goes towards a good cause (to feed and continue nurturing these kitties) so it’s so worth it honestly. Will definitely be back with my friends.

I visited on a Saturday with my husband right when they opened. We were informed there are almost 400 cats! Many cats are friendly, and some are a bit skittish or reactive (those with collars). We had a blast and took our time saying hi to all the cats. Also, the volunteers are so kind and knowledgeable! We will definitely be coming back before they close for the season.

You and they both need healing, you both need love affection and that warm touch. Cat is not a very friendly animal so don’t expect that they are gonna cuddle with you like a puppy or a dog but yes they need equal love attention and that affectionate warm touch. But don’t dare to invade their comfort 😋 So I am starting here from Cats right it’s a cat sanctuary. If you really love cats then you sure gonna love it there. So many cats there sone need your attention sone just giving you cold shoulder yup this is the personality of the cats. So I suggest you to sanitize your hands before going inside. When you enter in there the first cell is having those cats who love to play with you and maybe a one or two may like to sit in your lap but it’s not a sure. There are toys to keep them busy. Brushes to groom them and at entrance you can pic a treat for them to feed or to attract 🤔 So there are many cells for cats and when you’re entering and leaving a cell then every time you need to sanitize your hands close the cell every time. In different cells are different personality some doesn’t not like you to touch them do just try to play with them with toy or just click a memory. Or just simply with them and observe them it’s fun doing that. Some cats are not very healthy and are in completely different cell so be very gentle with them. Now come to volunteers: Every volunteer is doing great there they are knowledgeable they love to give you tour and some are so experts reading you that they know what you’re looking for and they just help you with that without even asking from them. They all are very gentle with cats and taking care of them like their parents. Parking: there’s parking place for almost 14 cars in just front of sanctuary but a 150 meters away you can park many cars. Toilet: they have one neat and clean toilet adjoining with the first cell. Cleanliness: it’s very clean and nice but so many cats are there so hopefully you are not expecting no hair there, are you. So yes it’s clean in it’s own way. Smell: it’s a cat sanctuary!! Got it? I am attaching few Photos here so you may fall in love with these lovely faces.
