Calico kittens & cats in Hamilton, Ontario

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.

At eight years old, Taffy has perfected the art of being shaped like a very elegant ottoman. Plush, round, and delightfully substantial, she’s what one might politely call curvy…generously upholstered…magnificently plush. The truth is, Taffy carries a little more fluff than is comfortable, which means grooming herself can be tricky. She may need a patient human who can help her with the things she can’t quite reach. Life hasn’t been very steady for Taffy lately. She’s been moved around more than a cat ever should, and it’s left her feeling a bit unsure about the world. When hands come toward her too quickly, she sometimes responds with a small hiss or a grumbly complaint — her way of saying, “Please go slowly with me.” Underneath that cautious exterior is a cat who simply hasn’t had the chance to feel safe for a while. Taffy isn’t looking for perfection. She’s looking for patience. She’ll do best with someone who understands that trust takes time, especially for a sensitive soul who has had her routine turned upside down. She may not be the kind of cat who enjoys being scooped up and fussed over right away. But give her a calm home, gentle voices, and the space to settle in, and she’ll show you the quieter kinds of affection — sitting nearby, keeping you company, and slowly letting her guard down. Because of her size, Taffy may benefit from a gradual wellness plan — a little help with grooming, a thoughtful diet, and encouragement to move at her own pace. Nothing extreme. Just small, loving steps toward feeling better. What Taffy really needs is someone who sees past the hisses, past the extra fluff, and recognizes a cat who has been through a lot and still has so much heart left to give. If you have a warm home, a gentle approach, and a soft spot for a slightly grumbly, magnificently plush companion…Taffy might just be waiting for you.

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.
