Sheltered Paws

Greater Edmonton Animal Rescue Society (GEARS) will act as a caretaker for cats in distress found within Strathcona County Limits

Under the Animal Protection Act distressed is defined as:

  • deprived of adequate shelter, ventilation, space, food, water, veterinary care, or reasonable protection from injuries heat or cold
  • injured, sick, in pain or suffering
  • abused and subjected to undue hardship, privation or neglect

Citizens are encouraged to make attempts to find the cat’s owner prior to contacting GEARS. As cats who are healthy are more likely to return to their owners if left in the community, healthy cats should be monitored and will only be admitted if found to be in distress.

Please note that as of September 1, 2023 we no longer have a physical location. We are still intaking in distress cats found in Strathcona County, just at a limited capacity.
We are unable to intake feral cats at this time.
We hope to have a new location for 2024.
