Walk for the Kitties Was a Huge Success!
What an amazing day for the kitties! 🐾
On September 13, hundreds of VOKRA supporters came together at Spanish Banks and Locarno Beach for our 26th annual Walk for the Kitties.
There was sunshine, beautiful ocean views, happy walkers, wagging tails and an incredible amount of community spirit—all in support of Vancouver’s homeless cats and kittens.
Watch our Walk for the Kitties video and relive some of the highlights!
We’re not at the finish line yet!
The Walk may be over, but fundraising continues until midnight on September 30.
And we have some very exciting news: a generous anonymous donor is matching donations as part of a $100,000 matching campaign!
That means your donation can have an even bigger impact for the cats and kittens in VOKRA’s care.
Help us reach our goal!
Every donation brings us closer to our Walk for the Kitties fundraising goal and helps provide the food, veterinary care and other essential support our cats need.
There are just a few days left to make your donation—and have it matched.
All Walk for the Kitties fundraising campaigns close at midnight on September 30.

Happy Cat Day
^^ Happy Cat Day
Each year, VOKRA helps more than 1,200 cats and kittens find their forever homes. Our counsellors match you with the right companion — and we’re always here for ongoing advice after adoption.
Volunteers and fosters are at the heart of everything we do. Without their dedication, we couldn’t rescue and find loving homes for the more than 1,400 cats and kittens VOKRA takes in each year. There are many ways you can get involved and make a difference.
As a volunteer-driven non-profit, your support is vital to ending cat overpopulation and homelessness. Every donation directly funds the supplies, equipment, veterinary care, and operational costs needed to keep the cats in our care warm, safe, and healthy.
Why pairs are purrfect!
At VOKRA, we’re all about the purr-fect match! 🐱💕
Here’s why adopting kittens in pairs can be so rewarding:
✨ They learn social skills from each other.
💞 They share a special bond that keeps them happy and confident.
🎯 They grow and learn together through play.
🛏️ They comfort each other, especially after rescue.
