Introducing the "RockStars"
This litter came to us without a mama - so they moved in with Maddy and Mittens.
Debbie Harry is the only girl rocker - and with 3 brothers you bet she’s a bad ass. She’s fierce and cuddly and playful and loves attention and being held. She purrs non stop and loves being with her siblings.
George Harrison. He is brave and curious and fearless and cuddly and loves to explore. He purrs non stop and is a happy kitten.
Paul McCartney - the "cute boy" of the bunch, he is gorgeous and playful and friendly and sweet and cuddly and purrs non stop.
And Ringo Starr He is very passionate about some of his toys and is still learning to share.... He is playful and cuddly and happy and purrs all the time. He likes to jump and run and climb and be a silly kitten.

Introducing – Cloud!
Such a sweet boy!
This handsome fellow came to Compassion For Paws from a shelter near Temiskaming (about 7 hours away)
Cloud is a sweet cat – very affectionate and respectful. He is good with other cats so a cat friend or two would be lovely, but he would probably also be fine on his own with a family, or a single person who is home much of the time.
He would probably get along with kids and is good with respectful dogs as well.
DOB May 9/22, he is neutered and vaccinated.

Presenting - MITTENS!
Mittens is confident and playful and active. She grew up without siblings so is very independent.
Four orphans joined her at 9 weeks of age and she really enjoys their company, but is still learning how to be a big sister.
Her mama was a very young and cautious mom and Mittens picked up a bit of this behaviour. Loud noises make her run and hide on occasion and she is still learning to enjoy being picked up.
She is not a cuddly kitten - she is too busy for that! She is quiet and curious and she loves to play with the wand toy and chase any anything that moves, She is quite a character! Her favourite thing is attacking the broom when you sweep, she just thinks that the best thing ever.
She would do best without young children only because they are loud and have quick movements and this makes her nervous.
Ideally Mittens should be adopted into a home with another active and curious young kitty friend

Presenting - MADDY!
Maddy came to us as a very young teenage mom (only about 6 or 7 months old herself) Babies having babies...
Now she is coming up on a year old and looking for a stable home of her own
She is absolutely the sweetest, most gentle and docile soul.
Maddy is incapable of being cranky no matter how many kittens are climbing all over her.
She is not phased other cats, but is still spooked by loud noises. She likes to play but is still anxious of new people and new situations. She doesn’t lash out, she will just run and hide.
She loves, loves, LOVES! to be petted but is not yet fan of being picked up. I do think this will change in time as she gains confidence.
She need to be adopted with someone who spends time at home as she likes to "Netflix and chill" with you

Angajuk and Amka are a mother / daughter duo from the far north - on the shores of James Bay
Anjajuk is the beautiful dilute tortie - her name means "girl's older sister" This mama is about 3 years young and she has the most AMAZING feet I have ever seen! She is multipolydactyl on all 4 feet - I think she has almost enough toes for 2 cats!
Amka is the soft pale orange daughter - her name means "one with a friendly spirit" She is about 2 years young and she also has many extra toe beans
Both of these lovely ladies are super sweet, curious and outgoing. They get along great together, but we would allow they to be adopted separately to the right homes.
Both cats are social and curious but not overly needy - meaning they want to see what you are working on, want to be near you and with you - but won't be super pesty and photobomb your zoom meeting!
The adoption fee is normally $275 but will be reduced to $500 if you are the right home to keep the girls together

NEBULA and ASTRA
These beautiful kittens had a rough start - they were born outside under a shed and had two mamas...
Six little kittens (two litters) were born and raised together and apparently the mother cats were mother and daughter and were co-parenting the whole group.
The beautiful Nebula and Astra (gray male, gray female DOB~April 30/24) have become very social and charming They sometimes take a minute to warm up to new people and situations, but they are active and love to be petted They are looking for a home with people who are willing to give them a bit of time to acclimate. They will reward your patience with two super new friends.

Presenting Gloria and Hermione
These dynamic sisters are playful and energetic, but at the same time, are so cuddly, sweet and loving! They 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!
Gloria and Hermione are two beautiful, kind and funny sisters who are a joy to live with! They came to our foster home at the beginning of last summer and we love them! They were spayed in our care, and they had a bout of ringworm that they have recovered from
Gloria is a cautious little one who is so, SO curious. With a quiet home, she builds her trust and loves to be petted. She is not one for laps, but she does run and play when she’s comfy with her surroundings. Although they can rough house as siblings do, she loves her sister Hermione.
Hermione is an outgoing, gregarious sister who is full of energy and curiosity. She is literally bright eyed and bushy tailed! She confidently explores and seeks out her human family as soon as she feels settled in a new home! She is a great sister for Gloria because she shows her how to explore and trust!
The perfect home for them is an experienced cat home that can adapt and love both shy and outgoing cats! They should have a home that can start them in a quiet space and allow them to build up their confidence. They have been used to older children who are very respectful of their needs and personalities. It will be very hard to say goodbye to these special girls, but we are very glad we helped them when they needed rescue, and we are thrilled that they can find the perfect forever home.

Presenting Grayson and Lucas!
These two adorable, fun-loving and handsome brothers are the best boys! They came to our foster home at the beginning of last summer. We fell in love with them, and they are a pleasure to live with! They both recovered from neuter well, and both overcame a bout with ringworm.
Grayson is the outgoing, rough and tumble rascal of the pair! He is very smart and loves both cuddles and playing. He loves attention and will even try to open door knobs to get to his humans. He will rough house with his brother Lucas to the point where we’re exhausted just watching them! Aside from his hyper nature, Grayson is actually very loving and so sweet. He definitely is a good brother in that he shows Lucas the ropes.
Lucas is slower to approach his humans, but once we does, he gives little kisses and often likes to “clean our hair” by tapping his paw on our heads. If we are sitting on the floor with him, he will come over, stretch up to reach our faces and give our face a gentle pet with his paw! He is a very inquisitive and smart guy. He is more quiet than Grayson, but he really looks to his brother.
These really lovely boys will be greatly missed in our home. We wish we could keep them forever, but we are glad we could help them when they were in need. Their perfect forever home would be one that is experienced, kind, calm and very attentive. They are used to two older children who are very respectful of their needs and shower them with love, but also with quiet space when needed.

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.
