Presenting - The Saffron kittens!
This crew is becoming more brave and confident each day. Mama kept them to herself in the beginning so they are still a tiny bit cautious of noises and new things. They are eagerly exploring and open to new adventures.
Munchkin is the follower in the group, he waits until everyone else has tried something and then gives it his all. He loves to eat, really loves to follow his siblings around, but when it’s nap time, he finds a soft place to rest even if the others are still playing. He just discovered he loves head scratches and his favourite thing is climbing to the top of the scratching post and being the king of the castle.
Sox is the bravest of them all. Did you catch his cute pink nose? He has a very healthy appetite and as soon as he’s done eating, he’s off playing. He just loves to be out and about and enjoys climbing and scampering around. His favourite things are jumping and neck scratches.
Sephora is the leader and loves to try new things first. She is first to eat and first to play. She’s a mellow girl and enjoys watching over her siblings. She’s a fast runner and her favourite thing is the ribbon wand.
Tiffany is the observant one. She watches whats going on then joins in whatever activity looks most fun.. She always waits until the others are done eating so she can finish up at her own pace. She is cuddly and curious and her favourite thing is climbing the tree house.

Presenting Gloria and Greyson (two grey and white kittens) and
Hermione and Lucas (calico and black kittens)
These dynamic brother/sister duos are such a powerhouse of energy, but at the same time, are so cuddly, sweet and loving! Both are very curious, which is another way of saying that they are into everything all the time! They run, climb, and bounce, but when you sit with them they are just little purring motors!
They came into our foster home bringing such a positive, loving and fun-loving vibe with them!
They will do well in a forever home that realizes how much energy they have right now, and how much trouble kittens will get into! They will benefit from a home where they can safely run, explore, climb and tackle each other! They do well with their humans who are willing to throw cat balls with bells, swishing feather toys around, and providing cat climbers and scratchers, which they require so as to try to redirect them from scratching other things around the house. That being said, they are still kittens and will try to get into everything else! They will need regular nail trims. For all the energy they have, they will also need their favourite plush cat beds, along with brushing, cuddles, and lots of love from their humans.
In our foster home, they have had the experience of living with 2 very calm and kind human kids, and they do very well. They have had the experience of meeting a resident adult cat, and they did a good job there, too. So far, they have not met a dog. We think because of their happy, sweet nature, they would do ok in a home that had a dog, as long as they were introduced very gradually, and as long as the dog is calm and gentle with cats.
They must be adopted in pairs unless you have a kitten of similar age in the home already

These handsome boys are about 2 years old and the very best of friends!

They did NOT want to be barn cats! So they were taken in by the shelter, then came south to the bigger city to find their forever place.
Currently being fostered in Guelph, these fellows are playful and silly and very affectionate.
Apply online to make them your new best friends!

Presenting Calum!
It took months of intensive strategy to gain the trust of this fellow
When his foster mom noticed him outside last fall, he was wearing a collar and had a complete tail.
We later found out that he had escaped his carrier while enroute to the vet for a checkup and had been lost. Sometime later his tail was cut? Squished? Caught in something?
Anyway, infection set in and chunks of tail started falling off, frozen to the ground. Was it gangrene? Frostbite?
His foster mom was determined to get him in and get him help. For many weeks she blasted a space heater into her basement bathroom, and opened the window (under her deck) - to lure him to come in.
She heated up bowl after bowl of food - and finally the day came when he was far enough inside that we could shut the door.
He had a visit to the vet where the remaining tail needed to be amputated back to healthy flesh, and hes doing so much better now.
Calum is a very shy fellow. He does not like to be petted but really likes other cats.
He is about 2 years young, and would love to have a cat friend to play with, or a quiet home with people that will give him space. If that is you, please apply online at compassionforpaws.ca

Presenting Amy and Feathers!
Amy is a small, people-loving, playful kitty. She is black with white patches on her throat and tummy. She loves to be held, played with, petted and brushed. She was rescued during a huge snowstorm with her best friend and possibly sister Feathers, who seems to either have to adopted Amy or been her sister.
Feathers is a sweet, gentle, motherly, shy, medium-length haired tortoiseshell kitty who is loved by, and clearly loves people and the kitties around her. She takes gentle care of whomever is near her or seeks her out, especially, but not only, Amy, She loves to be brushed with a soft brush and petted, and she loves to either play or watch others play, deferring to them.
Both were found outdoors trying at 15 weeks young to walk.through snow 3 feet deep against a bitter wind. Both kitties are now a young and healthy 7 years old and they love to watch the outside from the safety of their cat tree bed, and lie in the sun.
Amy loves to play with balls and string toys, and she happily plays tag with Feathers.
Kind and gently affectionate, this beautiful pair would bring special joy to a calm household.

Presenting Dewey and Chewey!
The handsome gray and white boy is Dewey - and his friend Chewey is a total sweetie!
They had a rough start as outdoor cats - but when their home was being torn down to build condos, they managed to find an indoor place to settle.
Chewey was outdoors, badly injured and scared, and it took 3 months of dedicated trapping every night, before he was brought in. As you can see his ear is folded a bit. He was feral but now enjoys the attention of being petted. Dewey was tame from the beginning - he was probably lost or abandonned but was indoors at one time.
These 2 friends are inseparable and fully bonded either each other.
They must be adopted as a pair.
No dogs or young children please

Introducing Rosa!
Poor Rosa has had a hard-knock life so far, but is hoping for something wonderful to come her way - she really deserves it!
Rosa came to us as a single, pregnant mom along with the one surviving (4 month old) kitten from her last litter.
She raised her kids and they have all been adopted - now she needs and deserves a home of her own.
But here is the challenge - Rosa has been let down by humans so far and still doesnt trust.
She prefers to hide from new things, but has NEVER shown the slightest hint of agression.
She will occasionally allow you to pet her gently, but does not seek out attention yet.
Rosa is fine with other cats but does not seek their attention.
The perfect home for this fluffy and elegant cat is one with another gentle and social kitty around for companionship. Or a quiet person who doesnt mind if she keeps to herself.
Rosa may never be a lap cat - but she will be a beautiful companion and you will have given a sweet kitty a new lease on a happy life.

Adopting a Cat
The matchmaking is the most important part! We work hard to make sure that cat finds the best possible home for them We carefully match cats to homes for which they are suitable and compatible.
And we work with applicants to assess and match their lifestyle with the right cat.
After an initial interview, applicants will be asked to provide references.
Because of Covid, adopters must agree to a virtual home check prior to adoption.
An adoption contract will be sent by email, and it must be signed and dated, scanned and returned.
An adoption fee is required. Our adoption fee is currently $250. each for cats that have been spayed/neutered.
We do reserve the right to deny an adoption applicant.
All of the cats in our rescue are spayed/neutered if they are old enough, may be current on vaccinations and microchipped depending on their specific situation and health.
Other veterinary care as needed and appropriate will have been done.
For many reasons we only adopt to residents of Ontario.
To apply to adopt a cat, use our online form to submit an adoption application. or
download the application, fill it out and email it back to us.
Shelter animals come from diverse situations and backgrounds.
Often they have lost their home through no fault of their own but due to changes in their previous family's life.
They are not broken or damaged, but just need a home and love.
