More about Chatopia
Animals in Need
Working within close proximity of the Montreal SPCA, no animal in need is turned away. (In some instances, we also handle purebred pet surrenders - interview and evaluation required).
By rescuing, fostering and rehabilitating these animals physically and behaviorally, Chatopia gives these animals a second chance eventually placing them into forever homes.

Miss Muffet's Story
Chatopia Cat Rescue is Canadian charitable volunteer organization dedicated to the health, safety and welfare of abandoned, abused and neglected cats that specializes in purebreeds.
Miss Muffet, a beautiful young Persian, struggles to breathe even when she is standing still. While the other cats at the Chatopia Pure Breed Cat Rescue run, jump, and play, Miss Muffet watches sadly from the sidelines. This beautiful cat was born with a genetic flaw that left her with very small nostrils. The condition can be repaired surgically by removing pieces of the nostril wall and widening the nostril passage. But as a rescue organization with limited resources, affording surgery is easier said than done. Miss Muffet will have a much better quality of life and an increased chance of adoption once the surgery is behind her. Without surgery she will continue to struggle to survive – and her chance of finding a forever home will be slim.

Our Chatopia Center is a unique environment
Our wonderful Chatopia center allows the cats to have freedom in a home-like environment (no cages), a place that is happy and bright. Our warm and friendly Chatopia setting certainly challenges current public perceptions of abandoned animals and the typical animal shelter!

Our Partners
Chatopia works with several other rescue organizations, SPCA's, Animal Control's, security, police, and animal cruelty inspectors to ensure that no animal is turned away, so while we do focus on purebred rescues, our neighbours gladly step in when needed. Our physical shelter is right next door to the Montreal SPCA.
The Montreal SPCA, as a large unlimited admission shelter, is able to save the number of lives that it does due its ability to place animals not only through our own programs but also through the important work of rescue organizations and other community partners. Working with rescue organizations is an essential part of shelter work and the Montreal SPCA appreciates the support and collaboration of rescue organizations that choose to work with us to help us achieve our mission.
Purrfect Tails
We feel as though we owe you a debt of gratitude, and I am sure the cats agree. Chip and Augusta would never have been able to settle in and let their guards down like they already have in our home had they not been so warmly and kindly cared for.
Sara Simpson and Boris the HimalayanI don't think that coming out of the environments they they were found in, either of them would ever have been able to trust us so quickly had they not come to know how caring and gentle people could be during their stays in Chatopia.
John C. Marshall and Nikita the BengalI believe all of your care and attention in such a safe and warm environment readied them for a loving home.
