Calico kittens & cats in Hamilton, Ontario

DOB: December 12, 2017 Pooch is being fostered at one of Toronto Cat Rescue’s pet store partner locations. Please note that if you’re approved to adopt, you’ll need to pick them up from the store within 24 hours of being approved. Pooch is a gentle soul who deserves a home filled with patience, tenderness, and peace. Though shy and anxious at first, once she begins to trust, her sweet and affectionate nature slowly shines through in the most heartwarming ways. She loves quiet moments, cozy naps, soft brushing sessions, and the comfort of belly rubs when she feels safe enough to fully relax. Pooch will often let you know when she’s ready for affection, rolling onto her back or softly meowing for attention. She enjoys her scratching post, the occasional wand toy play sessions and having calm spaces where she can retreat and recharge. Pooch is looking for a calm and understanding home where she can finally feel secure. She would do best as the only pet, or with another animal who shares her very gentle temperament. Pooch doesn’t enjoy being picked up, but when she feels comfortable, she may curl up beside you or rest peacefully on your lap. Pooch has been through a great deal, and what she needs most now is someone kind, steady, and loving who will give her the time and safety to blossom into the beautiful companion she is meant to be. Thank you for welcoming a senior cat into your family - an adoption fee of your choice is appreciated, vs. our standard adult cat adoption fee of $225.

Meet Starfish — a beautiful 3-year-old grey tabby and white lady with a gentle spirit and a thoughtful, observant nature. Starfish is on the shy side and prefers to take her time getting comfortable in new spaces, often choosing a cozy hiding spot where she can quietly watch the world go by. Once she feels safe, Starfish will start to show her sweet side. She’s happy to come out for calm company and enjoys gentle, respectful pets from people she trusts. Those quiet moments of connection are where she truly shines — soft, subtle, and sincere. Starfish is not yet comfortable with being handled extensively, and she can find medical procedures stressful. She’ll need a patient home that understands this and is willing to give her the time and space she needs to build trust at her own pace, without pressure or expectation. With kindness, consistency, and respect for her boundaries, Starfish has every chance to blossom into a deeply rewarding companion. She’s looking for a calm, understanding home where she can feel safe enough to slowly come out of her shell and be loved exactly as she is.

With a name like Kestrel, it's no surprise this lovely five-year-old has an eagle eye for spotting kind people. She'll happily keep watch from across the room, and before long she'll be making her way over for a gentle hello and some well-earned affection. Kestrel may look like she's had her feathers a little ruffled lately. A pesky flea allergy left her with some missing fur, but the fleas are gone and she's well on her way to a full, beautiful coat again. In the meantime, she wears her unique look with grace and it only makes her sweet personality shine even brighter. Calm, friendly, and ready to spread her wings into a forever home, Kestrel is looking for someone who sees beyond a little missing fluff and recognizes the wonderful companion underneath. Give her a cozy place to land, and she'll reward you with quiet companionship, gentle affection, and a lifetime of loyalty. Kestrel is ready to soar into your heart. Could you be her forever flock? Meet her at our adoption partner, PetSmart. The address is 1779 Stone Church Road East, Stoney Creek. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario

Some cats stroll into a room. Alphonso Davies arrives at full speed. Named after Canada's world-famous superstar and one of the best left-backs on the planet, Alphonso is a big ol' tomcat with an even bigger personality and, as you'll immediately notice, an absolutely enormous head. Scientists have yet to determine whether it's filled with advanced tactical knowledge or just thoughts about snacks. Like his namesake, Alphonso is built to cover ground. One moment he's relaxing in his own half, the next he's somehow appeared across the room investigating your dinner, supervising your chores, or launching a surprise attack on a toy mouse. His acceleration is impressive for a player of his size, and his ability to insert himself into every situation has earned rave reviews from scouts. And just like the soccer star's trademark attacking runs from defense, Alphonso has never met a boundary he didn't want to cross. Closed door? He's involved. New room? He's involved. Conversation between humans? He's definitely involved. The photo says it all: alert eyes, confident posture, and that tongue-out expression that suggests he's either plotting his next move or just finished cleaning up after a successful snack opportunity. Either way, he's ready for action. As a senior member of our Canadian Men's National Team Cat Collection, Alphonso combines veteran presence with elite athleticism. He's the kind of cat who makes things happen simply by showing up and with a head that size, showing up is hard to miss. Player Profile: Age: Experienced professional Position: Left Back (and occasionally everywhere else) Strengths: Speed, confidence, room-to-room coverage, offensive support Signature Move: Sprinting from nowhere directly into your business Physical Attribute: One of the largest heads in the league Weaknesses: Occasionally forgets he's not actually the size of a lion Alphonso is looking for a forever home where he can patrol the flanks, lead counterattacks toward the food bowl, and use his world-class pace to beat everyone to the sound of a treat bag opening. Important Note: Due to his exceptional speed and oversized cranium, Alphonso may appear in rooms before you've finished entering them yourself. Side effects of adoption may include laughter, constant companionship, and regularly asking, "How is his head that big?"
