AndrewAndrew

Domestic Short Hair-Black And White
Size: Medium
Age: Adult
Sex: Male
PetFinder ID: c244-11-09

Andrew is another of our over-looked cats, still waiting for a forever home.

He was brought to our shelter after being hit by a car in early November 2009. Unfortunately, one of his front legs couldn't be repaired due to previously poorly-healed fractures, so the leg was removed. We wonder what terrible conditions he must have been living in, to have had such physical trauma and such poor (if any) medical care.

After a few months of healing, sweet Andrew came out of his shell and now purrs up a storm when petted. He loves being a lap cat and isn't bothered by other cats at all. In fact, his cage has become the local hangout when it's play time!

Andrew has had so much hardship and trauma in his life, yet he still has an abundance of love to give. If you can offer him a home without dogs, please come and meet him today. If ever a cat deserved a loving forever home, it's this lovely boy!
  
Andrew is neutered and is up-to-date with routine vaccinations.

Prince
Domestic Medium Hair, Tabby - Brown
Size: Medium
Age: Young
Sex: Male
Pet ID: c21-02-09

Handsome Prince is another long-time shelter resident who has been waiting for almost a year and a half for his forever home.

Prince arrived on February 9, 2009 after being hit by a car. Fortunately, his injured leg was repaired with pins and he made a complete recovery. He is a quiet and affectionate cat who enjoys the companionship of other laid-back felines and who loves his grooming time. He would be most suited in a calm home setting, free of dogs and young children, as he easily is unnerved by a lot of activity. If you have a loving home to offer him, please come and see him today. He doesn't deserve to wait another year and a half to be adopted.

Prince is neutered and is up-to-date with routine vaccinations.

Peppermint was the tiniest of the litter and did have a severe upper respiratory infection. She was placed in a specialized foster home and had a treatment of steroids to clear her lungs, which worked perfectly. She's now put on weight and is the picture of health, she likes other cats and is fine with dogs too. She'll fit well into just about any household and is more than ready to find her forever home.

Size: Large
Age: Senior
Sex: Male, Neutered
Petfinder ID: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/16273084

WANTED: RETIREMENT HOME
Looking for a family who would appreciate a mature (approximately 10 years young), non-rambunctious companion. I'm not a chewer, chaser or jumper, more like a snoozer!

ABOUT HOWIE
Howie is a walker hound/lab cross who was found wandering alone, lost and very hungry. He was placed in foster care to allow him to gain weight and to better judge what his needs would be for his future adoptive family. He does require a daily dose of arthritis medication, and this allows him enjoy his walks, though on some days stairs still present a bit of difficulty for him. Howie enjoys the companionship of people and doesn't mind other animals. If you're looking for a quiet, loving canine companion, Howie could be the perfect fit!

Howie is up-to-date with routine vaccinations and is house trained and neutered.
PenelopePenelope Peep
Domestic Short Hair-Black
Size: Small
Age: Young
Sex: Female
PetFinder ID: c46-05-09

Pretty Penelope, who looks like she's laughing at a good joke, was born on May 6, 2009 to a feral mom. She was abandoned at 4 days old and hand raised by a foster mother. She's a very-well socialized young lady cat who has been in foster care with other animals (cats, kittens and large dogs) and with children. She just assumes that she is part human, and she is involved in all aspects of family life. She would be perfect in a multi-cat home, as she would be very lonely without companionship from other felines. If you have room in your home and heart, come and see her today!

Penelope Peep is spayed and is up-to-date with routine vaccinations.

Tanya came to us on December 17, 2009 as a pregnant spray that someone had befriended. She soon gave birth to her kittens, who all have found their forever homes. Tanya, though, still is waiting.

She is a sweet girl who will make an ideal pet for any home environment. She's very laid back, gets along well with other cats, loves having people-time, will play with toys or even just hang out.  You couldn't ask for a better cat companion!

Yvette
Yvette

Female dilute calico
Size: medium
Age: Adult
Petfinder ID: c83-06-09

Pretty Yvette arrived at our shelter in mid-June 2009, already spayed. She was never claimed, so was obviously abandoned. Shelter life was a tough adjustment for this lady, and on arrival she let us know how unimpressed she was with other cats. While she since has learned to cope surrounded by other felines, she has a very strong personality and would do best as the only pet in the household.

Yvette's favourite thing is her one-on-one time with humans, so if you are looking for a lovely cat who will give you an abundance of affection in the form of head rubs and kisses, come in and see her today. She's been waiting a long time for her forever home!

Yvette is spayed and is up-to-date with routine vaccinations.


Dusk Dusk
Domestic Medium Hair-black and white
Size: Medium
Age: Adult
Sex: Female
PetFinder ID: c250-11-09

Dusk was found on November 16, 2009, a walking skeleton. Her body had gone so long without food that every notch on her spine was visible. Where had she been and how long had she been starving and suffering?

Dusk was rushed to the vet for care, with one of the many challenges she has had to face being how to get her body to accept food after being so long without it. Her will to live has been amazing and what is most remarkable about this lovely lass is the pure enjoyment she exhibits when she is approached or petted. She will sing and roll on her back and even drool with happiness. If ever a cat deserved her own forever home, with no fear of starvation and deprivation, it's Dusk. Come and see her today; in spite of her terrible ordeal, she has an incredible amount of love to give and will be a wonderful four-legged companion.

Dusk is spayed and is up-to-date with routine vaccinations.

Mr SilverMr. Silver
Tabby - Grey
Size: Medium
Age: Adult
Sex: Male
PetFinder ID: c30-04-09

Mr. Silver was brought to us mid April 2009, so hungry that he had been eating bread that had been put out for the birds. He was very skinny and even though this handsome lad is well-fed now, food still is extremely important to him. This is understandable, given that he had been starving; he doesn't realize that the days of deprivation are behind him.

Mr. Silver can be timid at first, but once he's comfortable and knows he's safe, he's a sweet and affectionate cat. Come and meet him today; he's been waiting so very long to be loved and cared for.

Mr. Silver is neutered and is up-to-date with routine vaccinations.



NicoleNicole
Domestic Short Hair-black
Size: Medium
Age: Adult
Sex: Female
PetFinder ID: 09-01-09

Sweet Nicole, whom we featured in July, is still waiting for her forever home. In this day and age, it's amazing how often black cats still are discriminated against and left to languish in cages while other cats are adopted.

Pretty Nicole was a pregnant stray who made her way into a gentleman's home through the brick foundation of his house. She gave birth to a premature litter of kittens that sadly weren't able to survive. She came to us very nervous of people, but what a turn-around she made! This sweetheart now soaks up human companionship and would love to relax beside you on your couch. Please don't let her wait another seven months for her forever home.
 
Nicole is up-to-date with routine shots and is spayed.

Cartman
Cartman
Domestic Short Hair-black
Size: Large
Age: Approx. 4.5 yrs old
Sex: Male
PetFinder ID: c129-08-09

Sleek, handsome Cartman came to us on August 8, 2009 as a befriended stray. A very caring family had taken him into their home 3 months earlier and had him vaccinated and spayed. They did all the right things for him but he was was terrified of their two gentle Golden Retrievers and would remain hidden in his "safe" spot in their house. Cartman simply couldn't be convinced that the dogs meant him no harm. Who knows what his experiences were when he was on his own, trying to survive? It's quite possible he had been traumatized by a dog in the past, generating a life-long fear of canines. So it was with very heavy hearts that this generous family turned to us for help.

Cartman now has settled in to shelter life and while he enjoys the company of the other cats, he waits for his forever home, one that is dog-free. He will be terrific in a home with other cats or even on his own, so come and see this sweet boy today. Start your new year off a great footing by giving this very worthy feline a home to call his own, one where he will feel safe and secure and will be loved and cared for all his days.

Cartman is neutered and is up-to-date with routine vaccinations.


RobTabby - Grey
Size: Large
Age: Approx. 2 years old
Sex: Male
PetFinder ID: c135-08-09

Handsome Rob was found abandoned with  his roommate, Roy, and brought to our shelter on August 13, 2009. They thoughtlessly and callously had been left behind when their humans moved out, which makes us wonder why some people even bother to have pets in the first place.

Rob, being a typical sociable male cat, enjoys the company of the other cats at the shelter, and so would be the purrfect addition to your family. If you don't already have pets, consider adopting Rob and another cat together, for twice the companionship and joy.

Please visit us today and make Rob's holiday wish for a forever home come true.

Rob is neutered and is up-to-date with routine vaccinations.

PetFinder ID: c252-11-08

Brewster was one of eight kittens born on November 19, 2008, though only he and his two sisters survived. He spent his first months in foster care, until he was ready for his forever home. That was a long time ago and he's still waiting for someone to give him the happy home he so deserves.

Brewster definitely is the leader of the pack and seems to have unlimited energy. He can turn anything into a toy and will be a wonderful companion for a family or a roommate for non-dominant cat. Please come and see him today!
