VOKRA began in 2000 and is a Vancouver based cat rescue. We are a volunteer driven registered non-profit.

<strong>VOKRA's mission</strong> is to end cat overpopulation and cat homelessness.  We rescue, heal, then home cats - first in our network of foster homes, then in carefully matched, loving, forever homes. We are a passionate, volunteer-driven charity with extensive cat care experience. We believe that no-kill is the only responsible approach, that TNR works, and that cats are awesome!
