COURTESY POST but applications through CompassionForPaws.ca
Benny Bear is a beautiful 1 1/2 year old marble male Bengal with charisma, charm and character! He loves getting into his harness and taking you for a walk. He scopes out the trees and loves to climb the best ones. He is brave and curious and likes to be active, but when he slows down, he enjoys a nap in his hammock with a view. He doesn't demand affection, but definitely shows his appreciation when you clean his litter or feed him. He is a great sleeper and usually spends the whole night in bed with his human and wakes you up 10 minutes before your alarm. He patiently takes a love mauling, purrs and drools when he's really happy, especially at bedtime.
Benny showed up at my home and after a search for his owners, I found out that he was intentionally abandoned in a park. That broke my heart, so I kept him and poured the love on him. Early on, I could see the anxiety while he went for walks if I walked ahead of him. He would pounce on my foot to stop me from walking. He still does that occasionally, but I think it is now more because he wants to be in charge of the walk and doesn't want me to lead him home. He is also very anxious during car rides, but will calm down after awhile and I've been seeing improvement here too. His comfort, trust and confidence has grown in the time that he has been with me.
Benny is a great eater and not too picky. He loves treats and could probably be trained with them. I feed him raw food twice a day and soft canned food twice a day and he is pretty good to eat most of it. I put dry food and treats in a treat wheel and he has fun with that. He eats out of a time polar feeder when I am at work.
I am hoping to find a better home for him because I work crazy shift work and spend long hours away, multiple days in a row where he is stuck in a tiny home by himself. Benny deserves better. He has been showing his displeasure at my long hours away by peeing on the couch and his hammocks. When I've been home for a few days in a row and sticking to the routine of walking in the morning for his bathroom breaks, he has been happier and uses the outdoors or the litter box. I do believe his peeing is directly related to my long hours away and possibly anxiety over the local feral cats. I am exhausted between work and trying to keep him happy and I do not feel capable of sustaining this lifestyle. I am not ready for a cat commitment, but I would love to be in his life and would love to be his cat sitter.
I think Benny Bear would be an amazing adventure cat. I think camping, hiking and possibly gentle water sports would be fun to try. As long as he builds his trust in you, I think he will be happy to go anywhere.
Benny would do well in a house where he is the only cat. He might do ok with older children and dogs, but I think it would be best in a quiet house. I would like to see him go to someone who has Bengal experience and who will love him and keep him active outdoors and get him into a better routine. A catio, frequent walks and supervised backyard time on a leash would do him wonders.

Introducing Edward and Oscar!
These boys are also from the North Bay house, and just as sweet as their brothers...
These boys came from a home with too many cats. They are good with other cats and they love people - but they are very bonded. They share food, toys and usually sleep snuggled on top of one another in a big, squishy orange puddle.
DOB ~May 24/24 they are of course neutered and vaccinated.
Normal adoption fee is $325 per cat - but they can be adopted for $600 for the pair to a great home that wants to keep them together

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 - Marjorie and Millicent!
These two lovely ladies came from an over crowded house in North Bay and we thought they might both be pregnant - but only mama Marjorie actually was. Her two babies were born May 31st, so she is still nursing and will not be ready for spaying and to go to a new home until mid-August but we are accepting applications in advance.
Marjorie and Millicent are lovely sisters, about 1.5 years young. They are super sweet and very good with humans and other cats alike.
It would be wonderful if they could be adopted together, but we will consider separating them.
Their new home must have at least another kitty friend

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.
