The RAPS Animal Hospital is a full-service, not-for-profit veterinary facility operated by the Regional Animal Protection Society. Our devoted, empathetic veterinary professionals are equipped with innovative technologies and proficiency in the most advanced methods of care. In addition to caring for your furry family members, the RAPS Animal Hospital exists to provide medical services for the animals in the care of the Regional Animal Protection Society. RAPS operates the City of Richmond Animal Shelter, the RAPS Cat Sanctuary, a fostering network and a social enterprise Thrift Store. As contracted by the City of Richmond, RAPS is responsible for the care and control of animals in Richmond, including domestic animals, farm animals and wildlife. With more than two decades of roots in Richmond (first as Richmond Homeless Cats, later as the Richmond Animal Protection Society), RAPS changed its name to the Regional Animal Protection Society in 2017, to more accurately reflect the geographical reach of our services. As a no-kill animal-serving agency, animals come to us from jurisdictions throughout British Columbia where they would be euthanized. By trusting RAPS Animal Hospital for your pet’s veterinary care, you are not only ensuring top-quality health care for your animals, you are supporting RAPS in saving and improving the lives of more animals than ever before.
