Fire destroyed the Humane Society building in Oshawa early Wednesday, killing nearly 180 cats, police said.
Investigators are still trying to determine the cause, which started about 2:30 a.m. ET.
By the time fire crews arrived, they were only able to save nine dogs and two cats.
The rescued animals, according to police, were frightened and freezing.
"We got those animals that were able to be saved and put them in police cruisers, and kept them warm, and comforted them until the experts showed up from animal services," said Cont. Dave Selby of Durham Regional Police.
A meeting will be held to decide the immediate future of the humane society in the region.
For now, the Toronto Humane Society has sent a van with pet food and blankets, and is prepared to house the surviving animals if needed.
