Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Brighton, Ontario

Mareep came to the shelter from an area with a colony of unsocialized cats. Staff could tell that although skittish and standoffish that with time, patience and work she would learn to trust humans and could be a good companion. A staff member took her home to foster and work with her in a more comfortable environment. She has done a wonderful job settling into a foster home and getting more comfortable with humans. She always approaches her foster mom and welcomes her into the room and even occasionally rubs up on her legs. She can still be shy and skittish of loud noises and commotion. She does enjoy being pet on the head with gentle pets, but can get overwhelmed with vigorous petting and can mouth when she gets overstimulated. She does not tolerate being picked up and prefers all four paws on the floor. She loves food and meal times and gets very excited. When she's comfortable and feels like nobody is watching she enjoys playing with her toys as well. We feel she would be happiest as the only cat in the home so she can be the queen of the castle without any hassle. Due to her skittish nature it is recommended that her new home has no dogs and older children 12+. Being a shy girl she likely won't show her true personality during a meet and greet, but her foster has lots of pictures and videos to show what she is like once she settles and gets know you.

Desna came into the shelter as a stray who was not claimed. She is a very sweet but quite timid girl who takes a bit of time to warm up to new people. She would do best in a quiet, low commotion home so she can settle and feel comfortable. She may hide for a period of time at first, but once she warms up she is a sweetheart and loves attention, leaning into your hand while having her head pet. We recommend a home without other cats. She has not been dog tested but this can be arranged with an approved application. Having a shy demeanor Desna would do best in a home with quieter older children 10+. Staff are still getting to know Desna and her personality.

Meet Fern, a delightful adult feline with a heart full of affection. Despite her cerebellar hypoplasia, Fern doesn't let anything slow her down. She's a bubbly spirit, brimming with love and playfulness. She enjoys a good game of chase the feather, and her cuddly nature makes her the perfect companion for cozy evenings. Fern's condition requires special care, but her sweet disposition more than makes up for it. Her infectious joy and resilience can brighten up any home. Fern would like a home where she is the only feline but would likely settle with a calm canine friend. She will require some modifications in her home to keep her safe when her wobbles get the best of her! A separate room with no hazards is a must. Ferns foster mom is more than happy to talk with potential adopters about the modifications Fern will require in the home.
