Story
Are you looking for a sweet and cuddly kitty, a big softie that loves snuggles and kisses?Well.... Leila is NOT the cat for you! Leila is not grumpy, she is happiness challenged! She can can come across as crotchety, but that's just to those who misunderstand her!Leila is a loyal kitty who came from a loving home. Leila lived happily with her owner since she was a kitten. Unfortunately, due to a very sad set of circumstances, Leila's owner was no longer able to care for her. So now, Leila is here, with new people who she doesn't know. And she's not really a "People Person"!!Leila would like an adult only quiet home with no other animals. She would do best with experienced cat people.Leila loves to lay on the couch and relax. When living with her mom, she really enjoyed pets and rubs around her face and neck. She allowed her mom to pick her up and brush her. She will come to you but does not want attention when she's not in the mood. We all know someone like this right?! It's not really that uncommon! At only 9 years young, Leila has lots of life and energy and really likes playing with toys. Leila will warm up to someone new given time. She is not enjoying being here at the shelter. She needs to go home.Since arriving at the shelter she is definitely coming around to the staff and being more patient with us and more tolerant of her kennel being cleaned. She really likes treats and can definitely be bribed to like you using Temptations!!Leila will let you know when she's not happy, she gives you plenty of warning! She's good at communicating her feelings. Adopting a cat like Leila can bring excitement but then a rewarding feeling of love when she feels comfortable with you and allows you to get close and rub her.If you have some patience and want to adopt a very special girl that really needs a furever family please take a chance on our Leila.

Hi I'm Ace, I'm a big softie! I just love people. I adore attention, crave cuddles, thrive on tenderness. My favourite thing is when people come to see me and give me lots of rubs and snuggles. I will rub up against you and nestle right in for some neck rubs and cheek scratches. I'm a social butterfly and I dream of having a loving family to call my own. Ace is a beautiful cat, inside and out. Unfortunately Ace has gone through a bit of a hard time and wasn't in the best shape when we got him in. Ace is diabetic. Like in humans, these days diabetes is easy to deal with. Since arriving at the shelter, Ace has done so well and is now healthy and is being treated for diabetes and is doing amazing. He looks great and feels great. Ace requires an injection of insulin in the morning and evening. He is such a good boy, he is literally one of the sweetest and most loving cats we have ever had. He is no problem to inject. It's a tiny needle that goes into the scruff of his neck with a tiny amount of insulin. He lets us do it no problem at all, hardly notices! He has such a gentle temperament, he is always happy and so affectionate. He loves kisses and cuddles and nudging his head into you to show his love. He's so laid back and is content just to be around you. He likes playing with toys, but cuddling and getting rubs and scratches are his favourite things! You know when he's really enjoying it when he drools. It's very endearing! He's the cutest.Ace truly truly deserves a second chance. He's the best boy and we all love him here at the shelter. If you have room in your house and in your heart for a very special boy, then please call us, we really want to see him going into a loving home where he can be spoiled and lavished with all of the love and attention that he deserves.

Hi I'm Potato,Who doesn't love a potato! I am a big bundle of love and cuteness just waiting to be cuddled and adored. I am a happy girl, I'm curious and fun and always interested in what you're up to. When people come to my kennel I'm immediately down from my perch to meet them and say hi. I'm very personable, and easy to get along with. I'm a laid back girl looking for a nice home to call my own and a furever family that will let me be included in their daily lives and give me lots of attention and just love me. I have so much love to give and I have lived with other cats, so I'd be a good companion to an existing cat, or I'm quite happy to go home with just hoomans too. I'm not fussy, I adapt well and I have a great positive outlook on life. If you're looking for some extra company and a big squishy cuddle companion, come meet me.

Sheldon Male neutered Grey Tabby Vaccines up to date DOB: July 2023 Sheldon is a very handsome kitty with stunning eyes! He has a beautiful grey coat with stripes and dark spots like a wild cats' coat. Sheldon is a hilarious cat. He will often bring toys to play fetch with. He loves to play with a dragging toy, especially if it has a feather at the end. He likes pouncing on grocery bags. He has a great meow when he wants attention and is quite vocal. He can open up doors! He's a good mouser. He lives in a busy household with other pets and kids but would also be happy as an only cat. He loves being brushed and having attention. My reactions to: Children - He lives with a child age 10 and they love to play with him. Dogs- He has been socialized with dogs and guinea pigs Cats - He lives in a household with a senior cat and they get along well. They like to cuddle with each other.

Story
Mabel is a sweet and lovely spunky kitten. She was born August 23/23 and is bonded with her sister Dixie. It took us awhile to find a suitable foster for these two sweeties but they are now starting to soar in a quiet household with some house cats. Mable is extra cautious around loud noises and sounds and an adult only home is probable where she will be happiest. Mable will sleep on the bed at night with you and all the other cats but prefers the bottom of the bed. Her safe space is under the bed but will soon come out to see what the fuss is about. For some reason she loves to want belly rubs when you are in the middle of cleaning the litter box. Mabel and her sister Dixie love to chase each other around the house and wrestle. Her favourite toy is the ball tower. Mabel will sit beside you for pets while her sister likes to sit in your lap. Each morning their foster mom picks them up for some quick good morning kisses. Would you welcome these two sweethearts into your home and love them forever?

Dixie is a sweet loving cat. She is bonded with her sister Mabel. They were born Aug.23/23. Dixie is very food motivated especially treats and this is the way to earn her trust. Once trust is earned, she is very loving and loves to snuggle on your lap for pets. She gets along with the other cats in the house and loves Leo one of the house cats. At night, all the cats will sleep together on the bed but Dixie waits until you are almost asleep and then wants scratches and pets. Loud noises and sound scare her and she will run under the dining room table for a safe space. She is the braver one of the two and Mabel will follow her These girls are not very vocal and have a quiet meow. They favourite toy is the ball tower. They love to chase each other around the house and wrestle. Each morning their foster mom picks them up for some quick kisses. These girls will do best in an adult only quiet home to continue to thrive. Would you be the one to open your home and hearts for these two sweethearts?

My name is Slider Male neutered Vaccines: Rabies and FVRCP initial and booster received. DOB January 20, 2024. I'm a grey kitten with a tiny bit of white on my left black toe. As you can see my eye is a little cloudy (the vet is monitoring it) but it doesn't slow me down! I run and play and get around just like my sister Catcher. We actually compliment each other perfectly, I'm a little more quiet and reserved, while my sister is more boisterous and outgoing. I love my belly rubbed and purr when I see my foster mom. I enjoy kitty tubes and treats. I love springs and feathered wand toys and looking out the window in the sun. My sister Catcher and I can't wait to meet you, everyone knows two cats are better than one! We are bonded, so we need a home together, double the fun! My reactions to: Cats: I live with two other house cats and I love to play and sleep with them Dogs: Although I have not been exposed to dogs, kittens like me adapt quickly. Meeting New People: At first I am a little shy but once I get to know you I want my belly rubbed. Children: I have not been exposed to young children but I can adapt .
