My story

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

DOB March 11, 2020

Astra is a playful, friendly, energetic, chatty, and gentle girl. She absolutely loves running around and playing with any cat toy she comes across. She will happily play by herself with her mouse or foam ball toys, or with her humans and a wand toy. She loves being petted, and will throw herself on the floor for belly and back scratches. Once she is settled in, she will come and greet you at the front door when you get home and is always very excited to see you. She loves rubbing against your legs and will follow her favourite human from room to room.

It’s important that Astra’s new family will provide a sanctuary space for Astra to decompress as she settles in. She will be a little shy at first, but once settled in she will love you endlessly.

Astra also has a tendency to eat too quickly, which has been resolved by the introduction of an automatic feeder. Her new family should consider purchasing one or employing slow feed methods.

Astra has been diagnosed with an allergy but is doing wonderfully on her exclusive hypoallergenic food. She is also prone to Herpes Virus (FHV-1) flareups, which are typically triggered by stress. Providing immune support like L-Lysine, low stress, and a humidifier are helpful for reducing the symptoms.

She is a very vocal cat and will let you know when she has things to say, or call when she can’t find you. She is also an excellent climber, and will scale any height she sets her mind to. Her new family will need to provide her with lots of enrichment such as places to climb and toys. She also loves her cat bed, and will sleep wherever it is.

Additional adoption info

Adoption fee is $250 per adult cat, and $330 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 $250.
-Our adoption fee for an adult bonded pair (8 months or older) is $192.50 per cat vs. $385 per cat. Thanks for giving two loving friends a home together!
