My story

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

DOB: November 11th, 2017

Meet Shakira — A Sweet, Affectionate Girl with a Gentle Soul (8 years)

Shakira is a beautiful 8-year-old cat with a loving heart and a quiet, charming personality. She is declawed on all four paws and would do best in a single-pet home, as she doesn’t enjoy sharing her space with other cats.

This sweet girl is on the quieter side and doesn’t meow often — but when she does, her soft, high-pitched voice is absolutely adorable. Shakira enjoys affection on her own terms and prefers to come to you when she’s ready, making her a wonderful match for someone who respects feline boundaries.

Once she chooses you, Shakira is incredibly loving. She adores laying on your chest, happily making biscuits on your chest or stomach, and will gently headbutt your hand when she wants more pets. She’s also a bit of a lap cat and enjoys cozy cuddle time when the mood strikes.

Shakira is very playful and active for her age! She loves wand toys and laser pointers, and she’ll often greet you when you come home with sweet, playful flops that show just how happy she is to see you.

Shakira is looking for a calm, cat-savvy home where she can be the center of attention and loved for the affectionate, independent girl she is. In return, she’ll offer devotion, cuddles, and plenty of heart-melting moments.

If you’re searching for a loyal companion who balances affection with independence, Shakira may be your perfect match.

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!
