Cat and Kitten Paws

NOTE: We regret that we are unable to respond to all applications.
We are only able at this time to phone those applicants who have sent in an online adoption application where their criteria matches what the particular cat or kittens' needs are.
We regret any inconvenience caused as we do our best to meet the demand.

Presenting S'mores and her brothers Gingerbread and Snickerdoodle
These lovely kittens are super social and oh so sweet!
Born about Oct 16/22 they must be adopted in a pair, unless there is a kitten of similar age in the home.
Priority will be given to an adopter who is interested in all three bundles of love
​AVAILABLE

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 Evie!
Mother of the Avengers litter - she is a real superhero herself!

She was SUCH a good mama - but now it's her turn to shine

Evie came to us very pregnant and homeless. She is very loving - adores being petted and to be near her human friends. Evie is still a young cat - she loves to play with toys and is not shy about letting you know when her food bowl is empty.​
She would do well in a home with another gentle kitty companion, or would be okay on her own with someone who is around much of the day to sit with.

Presenting Fawn!
Fawn came to us as a pregnant and homeless young mama. Just a few days after settling in, she presented us with 5 gorgeous babies. 
Her kids have been going to homes of their own - now its Fawn's chance to find a great home of her own.
Fawn is an incredibly sweet and social  young cat. She is good with other cats, but could also be happy as a single in a home with people who are around to play and interact on a regular basis.

Presenting Melody and Arietta
These lovely ladies came to us because they were both suspected to be pregnant. They were living the backyard life with a number of other cats - fed and petted, but not allowed in the house. NOT a great way to live!
Melody (calico) is about 6 years old and her friend Arietta (white and br tabby) is about 8 years.
Both are friendly, social cats, good with each other and with other cats, kids, and respectful dogs.
They are spayed, vaccinated and microchipped and ready for a home with each other, singly with other cats, or as singles.

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
​AVAILABLE

Gorgeous Hastings!
This stunningly handsome fellow has been here for quite awhile now - learning to trust and live with human houses rules. Hastings came from outside - matted and grimy, he was looking into peoples windows and sitting in their porches. 
After arriving he was taken to be neutered and brushed out.
At first, he would watch cautiously while I brought food...
Then he would come closer when I brought food...
Then he would let me pet him while he was eating...
Hastings still doesn't particularly like being picked up, but he will allow it.
He is not yet a lap cat, but he does like humans and he is great with other cats. His ideal place would be a quiet home with one or two other cats to hang out and play with, and a human or two who would be happy to admire his gorgeous face but not demand he be up on the sofa or carried in arms - at least not yet...
AVAILABLE

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.

We Would Love to Hear From You Soon!
