Calico kittens & cats in Hamilton, Ontario

Abandoned to the streets she faced a very harsh life. When she was found her two older kittens were with her. They were adopted and now Zara needs a loving and forever home. She loves her pets but will be timid at first so we are looking for a loving and patient adoption.

Jamie is a very vocal little gal. She loves to call for her human asking for attention, then play hard to get! She likes to be pet, butt scratches are her favorite. She loves to play with her ball tower and chase anything that moves. She is an independent girl and is happy to watch the birds and squirrels outside the window. She would like her forever indoor home to have lots of activity, but also a quiet space for her. She is FIV/FelV negative, flea treated and dewormed, up to date on her vaccines and has been spayed.

Eadie Female DOB Oct 31, 2018 (7 years young!) Spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, FIV/FeLV Negative *Meet her at Pet Valu Ira Needles starting April 17 after 1pm Eadie is a love bug! She came to us when her person passed away. She was found under their bed and taken to a rural pound. She was terrified there, the sights, smells and sounds were overwhelming so we were contacted and bailed her out! Since being in our care she has shown us just how sweet she is! She loves being pet and adores being brushed! Catnip toys are her all time favourite. She needs a quiet home where she will get lots of attention and be allowed to sleep in her persons bed--which is where she can often be found. She certainly enjoys a cuddle! Eadie is a voluptuous girl at 18.5lbs. She needs help to very slowly lose this extra weight. Oddly enough she isn't a big foodie and can be a little picky even. More playtime and a healthy diet should help her shed some weight in a new home. She isnt interested in other cats and we feel she would love being queen of her castle as the only pet.

Meet Honda – the smoothest ride you’ll ever take home!! (case #8729) At 5 years old, this handsome little hatchback of a cat is fully broken in, road-tested, and ready to run his motor straight over to his forever home. Turn the key (aka open a can of food) and you’ll hear that steady purr engine fire right up. Honda is the total “boy next door” model — friendly, dependable, and easy to love. No high-maintenance sports car drama here! He’s built for comfort, companionship, and long-lasting loyalty. Safe around the house, reliable with his manners, and smooth in every interaction, he’s the kind of cat you can count on for years of happy miles. When Honda first pulled into the shelter garage, he had a bit of a rough start thanks to a flea infestation, so he’s still sporting a few patchy spots. Think of it as cosmetic wear from a previous owner — his fur is already tuning itself up and will grow back in beautifully. Under the hood (and under the fluff), he’s in great shape and ready for the open road of home life. Honda is also FIV positive (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). FIV is a virus that affects a cat’s immune system, meaning Honda may need a little extra care to stay healthy. The good news is that many FIV-positive cats live long, happy, completely normal lives with proper care. FIV is most commonly spread through deep bite wounds between cats, so it’s not easily transmitted through casual contact like sharing bowls, grooming, or lounging together. Because of this, FIV-positive cats can often live peacefully with other friendly cats, and they thrive best as indoor companions where they can stay safe and healthy. If you’re looking for a safe, reliable, well-loved companion who will cruise by your side through every season, Honda is ready to pull into your driveway and stay parked in your heart forever. Please complete an adoption application: https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only. This allows our Adoption Staff to spend quality time with each potential home to ensure the most successful matches are made between the animals and their new families. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario

Meet Ash! 8 1/2 mos. Neutered/Male Born in a colony of cats living outdoors, Ash was taken in by a member of the public as a kitten and was showered in lots of love, helping his adjust and adapt to indoor living with loving humans - he's a bit shy at first, but overcomes his nerves quickly, showing himself to be both affectionate and very playful, a wonderful young companion. Unfortunately, Ash was unable to call this his Forever Home due to allergies in the family, and he really hopes to find a family as special as he is to love! Ash has been living as the only pet in a home for some months, but we anticipate that he will do well with another cat companion given his colony-cat history and resulting fantastic social skills, but we have yet to explore this with him as he is new to his foster home and has not yet met the resident kitty! Quietly vocal in little meows and chirps, Ash loves petting, attention and affection and is quick to seek out attention from his people with many purrs to share! Ash is a very playful young guy, and he can play a little rough - this boy is known to be a little nippy and needs to be redirected toward his toys when he gets over excited and as a result of his exuberance he will be better suited to a home and family without young children who may find his rough play off-putting. Still just a baby, Ash is sure to calm down and learn better play manners with time, and well matched with an agreeable cat who can help him to burn off some energy romping and having fun these behaviors are sure to diminish with a little time and lots of fun to use up his ample energy and drive. A handsome little guy with a super soft and sleek coat, Ash has beautiful eyes that shine with affection and he's just full of personality! A loyal, fun and playful companion with loads of love to share, Ash is going to make an amazing little Forever Friend! Ash has been vet checked and fully vaccinated, he has been treated for routine parasites has been microchipped and has been neutered. An adoption fee of $250 applies.

Meet Lexi! 3 yrs Spayed/Female Lexi is a cat's cat, and her future hangs in the balance of being able to connect with a compassionate and caring pet owner who can love a cat for the sake of that cat, not for what they get in return from that cat. Lexi was born and raised among a colony of community cats, she was incredibly difficult to catch with efforts spanning more than 10 months as she diligently worked to evade even the most skilled of trappers before she was finally secured, pregnant, and ready to begin adding her own little ones to the overpopulation crisis. Thankfully, Lexi was secured before she could give birth, and her babies never had to experience the harsh reality of being born on the street. Lexi was spayed, and she has been in foster care for well over a year, but Lexi is still a cat's cat, and she has very little use for humans beyond being grateful that they can ensure her comfort and a full tummy. Will Lexi meet you at the door after a long day at work? No. Will Lexi sit up on your lap? Nope. Does Lexi like cuddles? No thanks! Does Lexi love to be petted and show her appreciation with purrs? Also no! Will Lexi sleep up in the bed with you? Not a chance. Will Lexi leap around playing with toys with you? Not going to happen. Will Lexi sit up on the couch with you? Probably not. What WILL Lexi do or offer?? Honestly? Not a lot in terms of what she will give back, or show, but she will faithfully use a litter box, she will happily eat canned and dry food and she may even meow/chatter at you at meal times, and allow a head pet or couple of quick strokes (only at meal times, thank you kindly), she will use a scratching post, and she wont try to dart out your front door every time you come and go. And she is a really great hunter should you happen to have a mouse! And that's about it. Lexi is a good friend to other cats. She settles in really well with another mellow and relaxed cat, she seems to really like the boys to pal and chum around with, and she can make a comforting presence for another cat who would like a buddy who wont try to steal the limelight or try to hog any of the love and affection, but who will just hang around, being there, to watch, cuddle up beside, and hang out with. There is a great chance that Lexi will never become any more open or affectionate. She will probably never be a lap cat, will probably never want to be picked up or held, she will never be able to give what many people are looking for when they adopt a cat - but Lexi still needs to be loved, she still needs a Forever Home, where she can be free to be herself, do her thing and thrive, despite not offering the love, cuddles and sweetness that most people are looking for in a furry family member. Lexi needs someone special to take notice of her, to see her worth despite her aloof and independent nature, and who will offer her a truly unconditional love, that means sharing a home, a life and a love that does not meet the traditional expectations of pet ownership. Lexi can consider a safe barn or shop cat post, where she will be kept safe, well fed and cared for, or would be happy to be a house cat who is simply left to do her thing as she chooses with no expectation of her changing to suit the needs of her humans while they change their focus to accept and love her for who she is. Lexi is fully vetted, vaccinated, spayed, she is microchipped has been treated for routine parasites and is is great health, she has fantastic litter box habits and is a neat and tidy little room-mate who likes to keep herself to herself and is in no rush to change that. ADOPTION FEES WILL BE WAIVED FOR A SUITABLE ADOPTER. Please submit an adoption application for Lexi today at http://priderescue.ca/
