Scenes from our visit to the Richmond Animal Protection Society cat sanctuary in 2014. The sanctuary is maintained with the help of around 100 volunteers, and is funded by donations and revenue from the RAPS thrift store. It currently houses over 600 cats on its 6-acre property, providing a safe and secure forever home for formerly homeless, helpless kitties that are feral or unadoptable.
“Although most come from the city of Richmond, RAPS has also taken in cats and kittens from throughout the Lower Mainland of Vancouver, in order to save them from euthanasia in their home community.”
It was so great to see so many cats living in harmony together, and the kitties were pretty happy to hang out with us humans too.
The RAPS cat sanctuary is open to the public every Sunday from 1 to 4 pm. Visit their website here for more information.
