Cat and Kitten Paws

NOTE: We regret that we are unable to respond to all applications.
We are only able to phone those applicants who have sent in an online adoption application where they match what the particular cat or kittens' needs are. We regret any inconvenience

Ricky is still waiting for someone to give him the loving home he deserves — and time is becoming critical.
Through absolutely no fault of his own, this sweet 8-year-old neutered male tabby has found himself without a permanent home. His original owner has gone into long-term care, and his current caregiver unfortunately cannot continue to give Ricky the time and attention he deserves.
Ricky is sweet, affectionate, and snuggly. He is up to date on his vaccinations and is simply looking for someone who will love him and give him a safe, permanent place to call home.
Ricky at a glance:  8-year-old male, Neutered, Domestic Short Hair / brown tabby, Vaccinations up to date, Sweet, affectionate & snuggly

​We are now urgently looking for a new home for Ricky. His current caregivers are considering surrendering him, and we desperately want to find him a loving home before that becomes necessary.
Could you be Ricky’s happy ending? Or perhaps you know someone who could give this deserving boy the second chance he needs.
Please share this post! Even if you cannot adopt Ricky yourself, sharing could help us reach the person who can.
If you are interested in Ricky or would like more information, please contact compassionforpaws.ca

This beautiful lady with a face of wisdom is Eddie
A very healthy (recently vet checked) 15 year old well loved companion, she recently lost her person who has gone into care and will not be coming home
Eddie is used to living with just one person and is looking to find another quiet home where she can be the centre of someone’s universe
If you can open your heart to give this gentle soul a great place to lay her paws, please apply online at compassionforpaws.ca
Thank you!

Presenting Jade and Spring!
DOB July 15/23
These sisters are lovely! Full of sillyness on occasion, they are mostly sweet, quiet and very well behaved.
Jade is the tortie girl and her sister Spring is a boldly marked tabby...Yes! They did actually come from the same mama!
Both cats are calm and non demanding. They don't ask for affection, but are happy when you offer a good scritch or gentle petting.
They are good with other cats and with gentle dogs. They have not been around children but would be fine with older kids. They are not the kind of kitties that you are going to pick up and carry around, but if you are working from home, they will stay in the office with you and keep you company. 
I would prefer that they be adopted together but would consider separating them if you have another gentle cat in the home already

Presenting - Silver!
Beautiful Silver came to us as nursing mama. Found homeless with her babies, she moved in when they were only a few days old.
Now that her babies are grown and adopted, she is looking for a warm safe place to lay her paws too.
Silver will need a very special adopter who will give her the time and space she needs to blossom
She has NEVER shown any signs of aggression or protectiveness, even when her babies were small. 
She is still learning to trust and will come up to her foster for head scratches once in awhile. But she is hyper aware of sounds and afraid of anything new.
You can’t run over and pick her up - but she will come to you if she trusts you and she’s in the right mood.  
She needs someone who has patience and time to spend with her.
Her ideal home would be a quiet and calm place with one or two humans who are home a lot of the time.
She has great potential to blossom into a sweet, loving and gentle companion


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 $325. 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.

We Would Love to Hear From You Soon!
