Every month we feature a few kitties who are looking for their forever home. Here are this month’s lovely felines from the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA)!

Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA) is a no-kill, non-profit, registered charity dedicated to the rescue of cats in the Lower Mainland. They also coordinate rescue work with other groups in BC.VOKRA does not have a shelter. Instead, they provide over 100 individual foster homes throughout the Lower Mainland. In this way VOKRA is able to protect the very young from colds, distemper, parasites and other transmissible illnesses. In a home environment, our cats are safe and well socialized, with lots of love and attention. VOKRA covers all of the costs and provides ongoing support to foster families.Learn more about VOKRA here VOKRA is also having a fundraising walk this September 23rd, and could use your help raising donations!  The walk includes swag bags and prizes – the next prize will be for the 100th person to register. Register for the Walk for the kitties HERE.
