Toronto Cat Rescue

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been sharing information about legacy giving as part of Leave a Legacy Month.

For many people, this is something they think about gradually, or not at all until the right moment. And that’s completely okay.

Our goal is simply to make sure that if this is something you’re curious about, the information and support are available to you.

Cats like Grizzly are one of the reasons legacy gifts matter so deeply.

When Grizzly came into our care recently he was in rough shape: underweight, older, and living with a noticeable heart murmur. At TCR, we believe every cat deserves the highest quality of care, regardless of their age or medical needs. That’s why we invested in a full echocardiogram for Grizzly to better understand his condition. Thankfully, he does not currently require medication.

We are especially proud of our senior cat program, where we commit to giving older cats the care, rehabilitation, and soft landing spot they deserve to enjoy their golden years in comfort and safety. Since moving into a loving foster home and out of the shelter environment, Grizzly has truly flourished. He has gained weight, become more relaxed and confident, and is now preparing for adoption.

Stories like Grizzly’s are possible because compassionate supporters choose to create a future where cats always have somewhere to turn, no matter their age, medical needs, or condition when they arrive. Legacy giving doesn't require large wealth or complex planning. In many cases, it can be as simple as adding a charitable gift to an existing will, and it can always be changed later. If you would like to learn more, ask a few questions, or talk it through, we would be happy to connect. Visit https://signup-can.keela.co/fundraising-legacy-eoi to learn more!

We’re grateful to incredible volunteers like Kyla and her family for dedicating so much of their time to helping us give cats the care they need. Swipe ⬅️ to learn more about Kyla’s story and journey with Toronto Cat Rescue!
