My story

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

Grace and Frankie came to live with me, and my cat Quinn, last fall after spending their first few months of life outdoors in a cat colony. Over the last year, Grace & Frankie have grown from timid, shy and rambunctious kittens to confident, loving and playful indoor little ladies who enjoy spending time with me.

Frankie is a smart huntress who has become my shadow, sending me love blinks from a safe distance out of petting range. I am convinced with time she will one day ask for pets; for now, she indulges a few nose boops and kisses a day. On some mornings I even wake to Frankie purring on my chest, as she knows my arms are safely tucked under my blanket. Frankie is obsessed with chewing paper; she is happy as long as she has a cardboard scratch pad to slowly bite apart and the occasional sacrificial notebook page. She also occasionally drowns her mouse toy in her water bowl in the dead of night—this is a new quirk. But her all-time favourite is any rope; I think I won Frankie over mainly because I animate strings to hunt.

Grace and Frankie are still playful kittens but are now also well-mannered indoor cats. They enjoy spending most of their time entertaining each other—chasing, wrestling, or grooming each other in their cat tree basket. They are still itty bitty at 10 lbs each and manage to squeeze into the one basket! I believe it will take them a few more years to grow fully into their frames. Between bouts of play, Grace and Frankie are my constant companions along with my cat Quinn, always napping nearby. Grace and Frankie have good litter box habits, are spayed, and have all their shots.

They are in good health, other than being advised by the vet to eat dental kibble to care for their gingivitis. Grace and Frankie require medication for transport as it makes them extremely nervous. I leave all my cat carriers out for napping/hiding spots in my home so the girls are now easy to put into their carriers. They are well behaved at the vet and have never had accidents when travelling to and from the vet. Grace and Frankie are amazing cats who I know will continue to flourish in a loving home.

Grace and Frankie must be adopted together.

Like all ACR cats, Frankie is up-to-date on vaccines and has been treated for fleas and parasites.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info




If you are thinking of adopting a cat or kitten, please contact us. Annex Cat Rescue has matched over 1000 cats and kittens with good adoptive homes since our group started!



Annex Cat Rescue cats live in real homes with our foster volunteers -- not in cages! This way, the cats live in normal homes and receive good food and medical care -- and lots of personal attention. We get to know each cat, so we can help you find the best cat for you. It's kind of like a kitty match-making service!



All of our cats are vaccinated, have been de-wormed, and are spayed or neutered once they reach six months of age.



We are always available if you have questions or concerns as your new cat is adjusting to your home.



Here is our adoption process:




  • Please leave a voice mail or email.


  • One of our Adoption Team volunteers will contact you to find out more about the kind of kitty you are looking for. We will suggest which of our cats might be the best match for you, and put you in touch with a few foster homes for you to contact.


  • You can go and visit the cat in the foster home and see if you think it's a match.


  • If you fall in love on the spot (so easy with kitties!) we ask you to go home and think about it overnight, since it's an important decision for you and for the kitty.


  • Then, if it's a match, you can bring your cat carrier (and the adoption fee -- which is modest and does not cover all of our expenses) then take your kitty home! We ask all adopters to sign our adoption agreement, which just sets out some basics so we all understand our roles, with the kitty's best interests first and foremost!


  • A day or two later, we'll call you to make sure all is well and provide any suggestions that might be helpful, if needed.



The Annex Cat Rescue's motto is "Cat Adoption with a Difference." If the adoption does not work out (a rare occurrence, in part due to our excellent "match-making"!), whatever the reason, the cat will always be welcomed back to our organization. We want the best for our kitties!

Go meet their pets

The Annex Cat Rescue is a grassroots community organization. We are 100% non-paid volunteer-run. Our organization attempts to make a real difference for the homeless, stray and abandoned cats in this city through direct intervention and education. Every day, many people turn to us for help when Toronto Animal Services cannot.



ACR does *not* run an animal shelter. All of our cats/kittens live in volunteer foster homes across Toronto where they are allowed to blossom and grow in a "home" environment (rather than in cages), and where they receive individual attention and love.



While this prevents possible behavioural problems associated with caging animals, this also allows us to get to know each animal intimately and thus we can make excellent matches with adopters. Potential adopters are required to make appointments to view the animals in their respective homes.



Our organization is "no kill". This means that cats in our care remain in foster homes are not euthanized (except for dire humane reasons). City shelters do not have such a policy.

More about this rescue




Cat Adoption with a Difference



The Annex Cat Rescue began as a group of volunteers living primarily in the Annex neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We now have members from all over the city. We share a common bond -- a love of cats and concern for their welfare. We are a non-profit organization and have no government funding.



It is our goal to eliminate cruelty to animals by providing for the fostering and adoption of cats that are homeless, abandoned, or where their owners (through illness, age, or death) can no longer care for them. We try to educate members of our community regarding the proper care of cats and to provide information aimed at reducing the feral, homeless, and abandoned populations. Throughout the year, we assist in the feeding of many feral cat colonies and operate a trap-neuter/spay-return (TNR) program.



Please lend your support to our cause by adopting one of our wonderful cats or by contributing a small donation!







HOW YOU CAN HELP



The success of Annex Cat Rescue depends on the dedication of our volunteers -- not just the foster homes and trappers who work hands-on, but also those who support ACR's rescue work behind-the-scenes. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in becoming a volunteer, or expanding your work within the organization, please apply online.



Please see our website for some ways you can help. Our experienced volunteers are always there to support you, and even a few hours of your time every month can make a big difference.
