Presenting Midnight and her 7 little dwarves!
The lovely mama Midnight came to us from northern Ontario where they saved the little from family from a bad situation. Midnight was very thin but trying SO hard to grow her babies up!
Now they are big strong kittens and looking for homes of their very own to make their fairy-tale endings come true!
Doc is the biggest boy of the seven dwarves and is all grey. He has always been the observant one. He likes to check out his options before deciding where his energy is best spent. He loves to eat and nap and wrestle. He is a cuddler and enjoys being held until it’s time to chase his siblings again.
Happy is a solid grey male with white toes like mom and white on the side of his nose and chin. He still enjoys kitten milk and we’ve had a few talks about being a big boy. He loves all toys and is just as happy playing by himself as he is playing with his siblings. He loves running around with his mouse and playing in the tunnel and with the wand.
Bashful is a fluffy dark male tabby who is playful and adventurous and loves to run and jump. He is Mr. Personality and has a super sweet side. He loves belly rubs and being held and really loves to sit on your shoulder.
Dopey is a male grey tabby. Being the littlest didn’t stop him from being the first to discover solid food or the first to use the litter box on his own. He is a leader and a bit of a show off with a very soft side. He loves to hang with his people and see what they’re up to. His favourite things are climbing on your back and getting belly scratches.
Sleepy is a fluffy grey female kitten with white toes and a white chin. She also has perpetual bedhead. She is slightly more reserved than her siblings, but when she gets going, she’s a force. She loves to nap and when she’s done, you’ll find her playing atop the cat tree and leaping gracefully to whatever other structure is close by.
Sneezy is the more petit of the 2 female black kittens. She is the first one to the food bowl because she has lots to do like play and zoom around. She is full of energy and when she’s done, she will plop down and take a nap before doing it all over again.
Grumpy is the larger of the 2 black females. She is the more mellow one but agrees with her sister that regular naps are the way to go. She is very curious and will take a moment to think about things before jumping in. She likes head scratches and loves playing in the tunnel.

Presenting Mirage and her kittens!
Mirage is a stunningly gorgeous girl and a very good mama
She came with her wee ones from a northern shelter and calmly sauntered out of her travel crate and started head butting and purring immediately
She is playful with her kittens and with her foster humans, and loves to cuddle up and chill
Mirage is a petite young lady with stunning eyes and the shiniest fur.
She still has her kittens with her, and will be spayed before adoption
Soot is the smallest of the crew - but has the biggest heart! He loves to be petted and held but not for too long - he’s got lots of playing to do! He has a sweet and friendly personality and loves to cuddle with his sister
Ash is a darling girl who will steal your heart! She is always the first to greet you and loves to be cuddled and held. She also plays hard and loves to chase balls and playing with wand toys. She is Queen of the castle sleeping in the cat tower with her brother

Presenting Gloria and Greyson (two grey and white kittens) and
Hermione and Lucas (tortie 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

Currently being fostered in Guelph, these fellows are playful and silly and very affectionate.

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
To contribute to his medical bills, donations gratefully accepted by etransfer to hello@compassionforpaws.ca or Paypal.me/compassionforpaws.ca

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.
