Regina Cat Rescue (RCR) performs an on-site assessment and advises on requirements when necessary.

RCR confirms that requirements are met prior to transport (by phone/email), and verifies in person at the time of transport.

RCR ensures that a shelter is available/constructed and is adequate for our harsh winters, including: 

• adequate warmth for winter; straw bales and bedding, heat lamp if additional heat needed

• protection from elements; shelter from wind, snow, rain, cold, heat.

RCR ensures that there is agreement that the cat(s) will be confined for a period of no less than 2 weeks, as it adjusts to new surroundings.

RCR ensures that the cat(s) will be reasonably safe from predators or dogs, including:

• that safe places to hide (straw bales, outbuildings, barn, shelter) exist on the property.

RCR ensures that the cat(s) receive fresh water (heated water bowls are recommended).

RCR ensures that cats receive a high protein dry cat food as part of their diet (wet food supplements are recommended).

RCR performs a follow-up inquiry on status post transport to farm and post surgery (sterilization).
