Richmond Animal Protection Society built and operates North America's largest cat sanctuary in order to rescue and protect homeless and abandoned cats and kittens.

Located in Richmond, British Columbia, the sanctuary shelters hundreds of animals that have been removed from city streets where they faced starvation, injury, disease and a shortened life due to the many hazards in their environment.

The cat sanctuary provides a safe permanent home to more than 800 animals. 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.

The facility is maintained primarily by a large number of dedicated volunteers who have succeeded in creating a loving, comfortable and stimulating environment that is truly a home for the animals. The cats' health is monitored by a highly specialized team of animal care workers who have been trained to handle and medicate feral cats, and who work closely with local veterinarians. RAPS believes that every life is a valuable life and spares no expense in ensuring that the cats receive high-quality care throughout their lifetimes.

Open to the public every Sunday, the RAPS cat sanctuary is a favorite spot for visitors who are encouraged to bring treats and make their laps available from 1-4:00 p.m. (less info)
