About Us
Rescue the mistreated. Save the injured. Love the abandoned.
Tails Of Freedom Rescue Inc. is a non profit, primarily foster based organization located in Winnipeg, MB.
Founded in 2019, Tails of Freedom Rescue Inc. saw an immediate need to save three cats from being euthanized. After rescuing Prince, Cornell, and Elvis, we provided the necessary veterinary care with the help of dedicated volunteers and the donations of many caring people. Since then, we have grown into the organization we are today that has rescued over 3200 animals and counting.
In the summer of 2025, Tails of Freedom Rescue moved into their first official physical location, operating as a small adoptions centre and intake facility.
Join us at our new location:
16-1421 St James Street
Hours of Operation:
Thursday: 12:00 - 6:00
Friday: 12:00 - 6:00
Saturday: 1:00-6:00
Sunday: 1:00-6:00
FOOD DRIVE
We are currently going through at LEAST 320 cans of wet food a day. 2,240 cans a week. 8,960 cans a month.
It is a constant struggle to keep up with wet food, and the costs. Our next supply day is Feb 7th, we will not have the wet food to provide our fosters which means we will have to do a huge shop. We are starting a wet cat food drive and running it until Feb 5th to help prepare and possibly not have to spend thousands on food. 😫
Would you like to help fill the bellies of some of our fur babies in care? There are currently 214 with more coming in this week!
