Leto and Jack

UPDATE: Thank you. Leto and Jack have permanent homes now!

Leto (white) and Jack (black) had a good home for many years but their “mom” went into the care with serious health issues and it was impossible for her to keep them.  We are seeking a wonderful quiet indoors home for them together.  Leto is a mature adult, possibly around 10.  Jack is younger and maybe 4 or 5.  They are very good friends and have been together for a few years.  Both have mild thyroid conditions that are under control with a special diet called YD.  They cannot have any other food at all while on this diet, but this avoids a need for medication.  They cannot be in a home with other pets since they are restricted to eating only this food and not one bite of anything else.  For this same reason they should be in a home without small children who might give them something else. 

 

They are both very sweet kitties and like petting and attention.  Once comfortable with someone in a calm setting, Leto is sociable and trusting.  Jack is much more shy and requires more time to warm up to people.  However, with patience and gentle interaction over time both will be comfortable in a home with a quiet atmosphere.  Jack has been an escape risk in the past so the ideal home would be with a couple or single person since a door left open even for a few seconds without close monitoring could lead to escape.  Jack should not have access to a room with a door to the outside until he is fully established in a home.  There can be no access to a patio or to a window without a screen.  We are trying to avoid things we know would present risks.   We would be happy with a senior home.  We require someone who has had indoor cats in the recent past, has a good reference from a veterinarian, and is financially able to provide any vet care they may need in the future.  Currently on their special food they are very healthy.  They are both neutered and up to date on shots.

Diva Marie

May 2019 update: Diva has been adopted and is now in a permanent adoptive home where she is very happy and loved !

Xena

Xena has been adopted!

Xena the "Warrior Princess" Calico Tabby

This loyal indoor cat needs a kid-free, quiet home with a patient caregiver.  Xena can be a very loving, affectionate, and cuddly four legged friend; however, she needs someone who will let her take her time to get to know them. She is very protective and wary of strangers which can translate to an unfriendly demeanour.  She needs a new home as she is too territorial of her space with a toddler son in the family.  After almost two years of patience, she still will not let him interact with her and will not tolerate any physical contact with him.  This is a difficult situation.

Xena is almost nine years old, has all her immunizations, has all her teeth in good condition, has been spayed, loves ice cold water and eats dry food.  Her current family loves her very much and she is incredibly affectionate when nobody else is around.  She loves having her face, neck and back rubbed and often purrs so loud they think the neighbours can feel the vibrations.  Unfortunately, because she can’t/won’t get along with their son, they don’t feel it is safe having them in close proximity all the time.  They also feel it isn’t fair to her that she to be confined to whatever room their son isn’t in.

Bobbie

Bobbie needs a home!  Bobbie is a senior male who is healthy and has pet insurance.  He is a lovely old gentleman who was left behind in an apartment since his senior owner was not able to take him when he left.  Bobbie is sweet and friendly.  He needs a quiet home of his own without other cats or dogs.   A home with a senior would be ideal, but cats his age nap a lot so if you are at work all day that would be okay too.  The landlord of his old home is trying to find a good home for him and boarding him in the meantime as she is working out of town.  

If you can help Bobbie, please email us at catadopt@shaw.ca and we will connect you with the woman seeking the home as this is a courtesy post.

Chumley


Update January 2016

Chumley has been adopted and has a wonderful home of his own with a couple in a 3-story waterfront house where he can run up and down steps and relax in a sunroom watching seagulls.   We are happy for him after his long wait!

Buddy Junior

Update

Buddy Jr. has a fabulous home.  He was fostered and his foster mom fell in love with him and he now has a furever home!


Buddy Junior

Buddy is under 5 and is an affectionate and very friendly kitty. He is very healthy and is a very sturdy boy. He is playful and cuddly. His only problem is that he tested FIV positive which has slowed down his ability to find a great home. However, this will probably have no effect on his health or longevity! He is a nondominant cat and will get along with other nondominant cats. Buddy needs an extremely secure indoor home with NO access to the outside (not even a patio). He is very smart and engineered an escape through a 4” x 7” hole (after dismantling a portable air conditioner vent) and jumped on a roof here. He did come back the same night, but if loose in the city it would be very dangerous for him as he was an outdoor country cat stray for his early years. We are looking for the perfect home for Buddy. He is a very special boy and very sensitive. He likes direct eye contact and wants to trust people. He will be a lovely best friend for the right person or couple. Although he would get along with children, he can have a feisty playful side where he could take a nip at a hand – and also could escape if a door wasn’t closed instantly – so we are seeking a home with no kids.
