My story

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

DOB: January 11, 2023

Panda is a gentle, sweet boy who is quickly learning that life as a house cat is pretty great! While he comes from a nervous background, he is steadily building his confidence. He is a "slow-burn" friend, but once he knows you, he is incredibly sweet. He’s also very "bribable"—if you have breakfast, dinner, or a handful of treats, he’ll be your shadow in no time.

Panda has recently applied for the role of "Executive Office Assistant." He’ll occasionally jump up on the desk to supervise your work and demand some head scratches while you’re mid-email. When he’s off the clock, his favorite hobby is napping in the highest spot on the cat tree or honing his hunting skills with a wand toy or a catnip stick.

Panda is a very social guy who gets along well with other cats. Having a confident feline friend in his forever home might even help him continue to come out of his shell! He currently lives with his foster brother Panther (who is also up for adoption) and they get along great. He isn't a huge fan of being held or carried just yet. He prefers to keep his four paws on the floor (or your desk!).

Panda has so much potential to be a devoted companion. He’s already made the leap from a hoarding situation to a "co-worker" who seeks out affection. He just needs a patient family who will celebrate his small wins with him—and maybe keep a bag of Temptations treats handy to seal the deal! He would do best in a home that can respect his space while he adjusts. He could likely live with respectful children who understand that he likes to be the one to initiate the snuggles.

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!
