My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

DOB 19-Mar-2023

Wendy is being fostered at one of Toronto Cat Rescue’s pet store partner locations; Pet Valu liberty Village. Please note that if you’re approved to adopt, you’ll need to pick her up from the store within 24 hours of being approved.

Wendy has many, many wonderful qualities, and at the same time, would definitely prefer to show you these gifts on her own. Wendy does not enjoy the company of other cats, and prefers the company of people. She is friendly and affectionate to everyone, including complete strangers, who she will instantly regard as a friend. Wendy would probably thrive in a home with multiple adults, but if you are the only person there she will be at your side constantly.

Once at home, she will hide for about an hour and then quickly start exploring her new home. She is very curious but polite about her surroundings, except when it comes to socks, which she will relocate throughout the house, sometimes while triumphantly yelling. She is also very fastidious about her litter habits, but probably would prefer a box with slightly longer sides so that she can kick away to her heart's content.

Wendy does not have any strong preferences for food brands or types, and seems to prefer wet food. She treats dry food as a treat that she goes to in the middle of play sessions. Speaking of play, she loves wand toys, small plush toys, bells, foam balls and virtually anything other than large kick toys, which seem to intimidate her. She also loves catnip, but be warned that she will drool. A lot.

Also be aware that she is not only a lap cat, but a chest, armpit, forehead and foot cat. To show her appreciation, she will enthusiastically face-bump you and make biscuits on or near you for as long as it takes for you to notice her work. Her unusual tail does not cause her any discomfort. You will notice it wiggling in the air when you approach her and despite its small size, she uses it to communicate.

Wendy prefers to be the only kitty in the home! Wendy proves to be a wonderful companion who is very easy to care for and love.

Additional adoption info

Adoption fee is $200 per adult cat, and $250 for kittens (under 8 months old).

This ensures that the cats that come into our care receive the attention they need, are spayed or neutered, and receive a rabies vaccination at the appropriate age. For City of Toronto residents, the adoption fee includes a mandatory City of Toronto cat license that is valid for one year. As you can imagine, these fees only begin to cover our costs; donations and ongoing fundraising efforts carry us the rest of the way!

Note:
-Senior cats (8 years or older) have an adoption fee of the adopter's choice, vs. our standard adult adoption fee of $200.
-Our adoption fee for an adult bonded pair (8 months or older) is $150 per cat vs. $200 per cat. Thanks for giving two loving friends a home together!
