B.C. Workers Unite to Rescue Feral Cats Amid Pulp Mill Closure

Posted on January 23, 2026

As the pulp mill in Crofton, British Columbia, prepares for closure, a dedicated group of workers is striving to secure the future of the feral cats residing at the site. The mill, which has been operational for 68 years, will cease production in early January 2026, leaving approximately 350 employees without jobs. Tawni Marcil, a lead hand at the mill for 12 years, has taken the initiative to rescue these feline residents.

For the cats that cannot be adopted, plans are in place for them to be sent to the RAPS Cat Sanctuary in Richmond, B.C. This sanctuary will provide the necessary care and a safe environment for the cats to live out their lives.
