Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Waterford, Ontario

Lucy was the kitten to a Mother cat dropped off at my parents' farm. She was born in August 2019. We brought her home in Sept 2019. She loves boxes, and loves to look out the window. She cuddles with our big boy cat Lewis. My youngest daughter was 10 when we got Lucy. Lucy did great with her. She is very timid around the 2 dogs that have moved in along with my college aged daughter (in 2021). Before the dogs came, she was the perfect cat. She never messed outside the litter box, she let Lewis let me vocally know it was feeding time, she loved scritches on her head & loved sleeping on my youngest daughter's bed. But the dogs are too much for her & she is now very stressed and anxious. I have tried anxiety medicine & have tried a separate Cat room, but she is still reacting to the dogs. Lucy would be a loving companion for someone in a house with no dogs or puppies. She needs some time to know that no dogs will chase her slobber on her, and once content, will make a great friend.

10 Hosk- Cats were brought in from a home where the amount of animals had grown out of control. All underweight and starving they have now been medically treated and are ready to find their purrfect furrever home.Hoskinity is a younger one from the crew a very sweet and social male who loves people and attention. Very food motivated and he will do anything for a treat or a snack. He is certainly ready to go to his new home, however, he has some gastro issues and may take a vet appointment and couple of weeks to adjust to his new surroundings. We ask that the new adopter does not change his food or schedule as this will cause some gastro issues. Staying on the same food will help keep issues down.

This beautiful boy was surrendered to SimcoeDHumane. Infection caused the eye perforated. Once ruptured, eye enucleation was the only treatment. He has recovered from his eye surgery and his demeanor has changed to be simply wonderful. If you don't have room in your home for this boy, please think about a donation to go towards his care!
