The goals of Country Cat Sanctuary are no more homeless cats and ensuring a quality life for our permanent feline residents
WEBSITE CLOSING DOWN MARCH 2026 - FACEBOOK WILL STILL BE ACTIVE
Dear Friends,
I actually started rescuing in 1998 and dedicated myself ever since to the cat's well being... I promised them I would care for them, try to find a great permanent home of their own regardless how long it would take , they would be safe till that time here....... no more freezing outdoors, starving and scavenging for a few morsels to eat, no more being unseen and unloved ever again. Over the years I quickly became more of a feral cat rescue since no one would give them the time of the day. Had many many ones saved, socialized and adopted out to loving families and yes the ones which could not be socialized had a permanent home with me till their natural end of life. From that time onwards up to now, for so many years, all our dear friends helped me to socialize and rehome a lot of these forgotten little souls and so many of you supported me with your funds, donations and physical help to run the sanctuary; we can never say enough thank you for your kindness. We ALL together can be so proud of the number of cats who found permanent homes, ending their sufferings and preventing unwanted kittens to be born in to a miserable cruel life and die. I looked upon it as a mission and as a calling to do so ....had the stamina and the land to build them accommodations suitable to their needs .No different than a regular home JUST LARGER. Heated and air-conditioned in warmer months and most importantly NO CAGES !! except for the isolation for a sick one to heal.... free inside and free outside in secure outdoor catios which they could use at their own pleasure. We are down now to 83 cats - you would faint if you knew what our largest number was 📷 the remaining ones are unadoptable due to many reasons, old age , did not want to be socialized and health issues like me 📷 Our website has not been managed for few years now and certainly not needed anymore nor justifiable for the cost to keep it up. However we will always have our COUNTRY CAT SANCTUARY FACEBOOK PAGE to keep in touch with our friends and share our good and not so good stories.
We CERTAINLY still need your continued support and donations for me to provide them with their care be it food, medical or emergencies. Even though the numbers are much lower now it is still imperative to give them the care they are used to receiving and still need all our help. The WEBSITE will expire this month sometime ... that money will do more for vet bills , food, medication and emergencies. Please continue to support us till we can say " all our promises to the cats have been fulfilled and all of them had a happy comfortable life till the time came for them to leave us "
You can always use CANADA HELPS our registered charity # 8227788279 RR001 our charity name is COUNTRY CAT SANCTUARY. You can also do a E-Transfer direct deposit no password needed to feralcatladytoo@gmail.com.
Once more we want to THANK YOU ALL for being on our side and sharing our ups and downs and supporting us all these years. Please do not abandon us now and help us to make our promises come through for the cats. Our greatest appreciation and gratitude from us and from the cats who needed our help and the ones who still need our help a little bit longer
GOD BLESS YOU ALL ![]()

Her undying affection and dedication for all cats
By adopting a feline from Country Cat Sanctuary, you save two lives - one by providing a forever home to a very deserving cat and two, by making more room for Gwen to save another cat. In addition, you are adopting a cat that has been spayed or neutered; treated for internal and external parasites and is or will be vaccinated as part of the adoption fees. You can view all the adorable adoptable cats by clicking on ADOPT in the menu list above. If you see one that you think might be just the perfect one for you, call Gwen to arrange a visit. Gwen is here to help you find just the perfect match!
Country Cat Sanctuary is at full capacity so is unable to accept ferals or surrenders any longer. Ferals are a life time commitment to care and due to this requirement and with a heavy heart, Gwen is no longer able to accept any additional cats such as ferals and/or surrenders due to the numerous reasons why they can no longer be cared for by owners.
Country Cat Sanctuary is a 100% volunteer charity dedicated to addressing the plight of homeless cats in the Greater Ottawa-Gatineau area and relies solely on donations. All donations support our life-saving work. A list of items that would lovingly help the sanctuary are listed under "THINGS WE NEED" button above.
Country Cat Sanctuary undertakes humanely trapping of homeless kittens and abandoned or stray adult cats, feeding and providing medical care for feral cats, curbing population growth through spaying and neutering and vaccinating; and educating the public on the compassionate treatment of homeless cats and responsible pet ownership through our Facebook page.
