Feral cat rescue in British Colombia

RAP society - Richmond Animal Protection Society in Richmond, British Colombia, operates the largest cat rescue in North America. Their program began back in 1989 as a grassroots attempt aimed at aiding feral/street cats that had a high kill rate when taken to typical animal shelters due to their timid personalities. A handful of volunteers took on the task of getting the cats spayed or neutered,  fostering,  socializing, and finding forever homes when they could. In 1999 a generous donor arrived and pushed RAP forward to become what it is today - 6 acres of multiple buildings, enclosed outdoor climbing areas, patios, and even a wishing well! They home over 800 animals; cats and kittens who were abandoned or found on the streets. Tame cats cohabitate, while new arrivals have 6ft tall enclosures to adjust in while personalities are assessed.
