Story
Hi, my name is Tie! Male (neutered) Domestic Short Hair My bio is going to be basically the same as my sister pepper! We’re very similar :) My foster mom found me, my siblings and mom on the road and couldn’t leave us there! We’ve been with her ever since and we loveeee being in the house. We all love to snuggle with each other and groom one another. We’ve gotten baths and nail cuts without any issue. I love to snuggle! I’ll lay on you and purrrrr my little heart out! My reactions to: Cats - our foster mom has 2 cats of her own but we haven’t really met them yet! But I do have my 3 siblings and mom with me and we love each other very much Dogs - I haven't interacted with any dogs yet but we have seen our foster mom’s dog and we’re not 100% sure about that yet. Mom just wants us to get comfy before throwing us to the wolves (or Samoyed) Meeting New People - if you want to pet me and snuggle me, I’ll be your new best friend! Children - I've met kids of all sorts of ages - I have 3 year old twin boys in my foster house right now and they’re great! Sometimes they’re a little quick for me but I’m really good with them. Litterbox - You don't have to worry about me! I use my litterbox with ease Playtime - i love to play! I love my scratching post, my bell balls and strings! Moms gonna bring the laser out when she finds it 😅

Story
DOB: Sept 3, 2025 Goupille is being fostered at one of Toronto Cat Rescue’s pet store partner locations. Please note that if you’re approved to adopt, you’ll need to pick them up from the store within 24 hours of being approved. Goupille is a sweet, gentle Torbie girl who is still getting her bearings at the adoption centre. Although she’s a little reserved in her new surroundings, one thing is already very clear: Goupille absolutely adores people. Calm, friendly and very affectionate, Goupille loves being close to her humans. Once she’s near you, she’ll happily rub against your legs, lean right into your hand for pets, and soak up all the attention she can get. She seems to genuinely enjoy companionship and would love a home where she can stay close to her people and receive plenty of affection. Goupille has ventured out of her enclosure to explore the centre, but the presence of other cats seems to make her uncomfortable. For now, she has decided that her enclosure feels like the safest place to retreat to. She has also been known to grumble when other cats are nearby, so she may simply prefer having her space, and perhaps her humans, all to herself. For this reason, Goupille may be happiest as the only cat in the home, where she can relax, feel secure, and enjoy being the centre of her people’s attention. She’s still very new to the centre, so there’s undoubtedly more to discover about this lovely girl as she settles in. But if you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will ask for pets, rub against your legs, and happily soak up some one-on-one love, Goupille might just be your girl.

Story
DOB: May 28, 2024 Queen Elizabeth is being fostered at one of Toronto Cat Rescue’s pet store partner locations. Please note that if you’re approved to adopt, you’ll need to pick them up from the store within 24 hours of being approved. Queen Elizabeth, AKA Lizzy, is a sweet and elegant young lady. She is a very calm, mild-mannered, and affectionate kitty with a nice laid-back personality. She very much likes attention and will seek you out, likes spending time near her people, but she also does well on her own. But don't let her gentle temperament for you, she's also a playful girl! She loves chasing wand toys and will really appreciate anytime you spend enriching her life with some play time. She's mostly well behaved when being pet or playing, and if she starts to get a little too feisty a quick word will settle her down. She seems very trainable this way, and she listens and understands when you tell her not to do something. She is very docile and easy to pick up and carry around, including on her back where you can give her a tummy rubs while walking around with her. Really and truly an incredibly gentle calm kitty. She does well with children. She tolerates other cats, but doesn't seem to seek out their company, and can be a little spicy sometimes launching little ambushes (but nothing serious). Although she would be fine with other cats, she would do quite well in a single cat household.  This beautiful and delightful young lady is ready to find her forever home.

Story
DOB: June 7, 2026 Zanka is being fostered at one of Toronto Cat Rescue’s pet store partner locations. Please note that if you’re approved to adopt, you’ll need to pick them up from the store within 24 hours of being approved. Zanka was the smallest of his litter, and because of that, he became an early cuddle bug who loved the warmth and comfort of having someone close by. But don't let his small size fool you! He has always been a determined little kitten with plenty of personality. Zanka became especially attached to one of his foster parents, often choosing to spend his time lying close by. While he is active and playful, he is definitely a people-oriented kitten who wants to be near his humans. Two of his little spots almost form an adorable heart, which seems perfectly fitting for this loving little guy. Zanka has spent lots of time with children and other cats and would do well with both. He can occasionally be a little demanding when he wants attention, but in the cutest way possible. He has a small but mighty purr and loves being part of the action. Zanka doesn't mind being picked up and carried as long as he is held carefully and gets plenty of pets or cheek rubs along the way. He is definitely a kitten who wants to spend time with his people and may form a very close bond with his forever family. If you're looking to adopt a pair, Zanka would do well with his sister Cucumber. He could also thrive in a home with a young, friendly resident cat who would enjoy having a playful companion.

DOB: June 7, 2026 Cucumber is being fostered at one of Toronto Cat Rescue’s pet store partner locations. Please note that if you’re approved to adopt, you’ll need to pick them up from the store within 24 hours of being approved. Cucumber is an adorable, sweet-tempered calico girl and definitely the softest of her sibling group. She can sometimes become quite determined when she wants pets and attention, and she isn't afraid to let you know with her little squeaky meow. This is a kitten who will definitely appreciate your time, attention, and plenty of cheek rubs! Cucumber loves cuddling up next to you in bed and is all purrs, no hisses, and 100% adorableness. Much like her mother, she is likely to grow into a relaxed, well-behaved, and friendly cat. She enjoys sitting up high and watching the world below, cuddling with her siblings, and getting plenty of scratches and pets. Cucumber is good with other cats and is familiar with children. She has been heavily socialized and is comfortable being picked up, although she doesn't particularly love being carried around. If she isn't enjoying something, she'll give you a little meow to let you know. Fortunately, a few cheek rubs are usually all it takes to win her back over! If you're looking to adopt a pair, Cucumber would do well with her brother Zanka. She could also thrive in a home with a young, friendly resident cat who would enjoy having a playful companion.
