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

BAKE SALE
🧁 Mark your calendars! 🧁
Saturday, February 14th - Unit 16-1421 St James Street - 1 to 6pm
We are struggling a fair amount financially at the moment, so we have decided our shelter will be celebrating Valentine’s Day this year with a BIG bake sale fundraiser! 100% of the proceeds will be going to our fur babies in care!
Our shelter front will be FULL of packaged baking and goodies, the baking is nowhere near our furry friends.
Who wouldn’t love to spend their Valentine’s Day snuggling kitties and stocking up on sweets for yourself?! 🥰
🍪 Currently on the menu - Chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter marshmallow squares, brownies, cinnamon buns, banana chocolate chip mini muffins, sugar cookies, Portuguese milk tart, lemon loaves, puffed wheat, sugar drop cookies and so much more!
💞 We will also have a section of GLUTEN FREE cookies, squares & muffins.
🐾 We are also hoping to have a selection of all natural pet treats, too!
We hope to see you there! ❤️
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!
