Her Story:
Autumn was rescued alongside Spring, Breeze, and Rain from a long-standing outdoor colony behind Sobeys in New Hamburg. Years of ongoing construction slowly took away every bit of shelter they had — first a shed, then their sleeping space inside a food compactor. Mostly seen only after dark once traffic settled, Autumn survived with the help of a dedicated volunteer who fed the colony nightly. When it became clear the cats had nowhere left to safely exist, they were welcomed into foster care where Autumn could finally rest indoors.
Life in Foster Care:
Autumn is adjusting to indoor life at her own thoughtful pace. She coexists well with other cats and is familiar with dogs. While cautious of sudden movement or an outstretched hand, she has moments where her playful inner kitten shines — especially when her track toy comes out.
Personality Highlights:
🍁 Stunning long-haired calico
🍁 Good with cats; familiar with dogs
🍁 Playful — turns into a kitten with her track toy
🍁 Startled by reaching or fast approaches
🍁 Food and treats may be the way to her heart
🍁 Observant, sensitive, and quietly endearing
Ideal Home:
Autumn is looking for an experienced, patient cat guardian who understands fearful kitties and the beauty of slow trust. With time, routine, and gentle encouragement (plus snacks!), Autumn has the potential to continue building confidence and showing more of her sweet, playful self.
🍂 Autumn doesn’t rush — she waits for the right season, the right person, and the right kind of love. 🍂
