Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.SPUD was found outside on a large property just outside of town. He was with his siblings Kale, Mushroom and Tater Tot and they’re known as the Veggie Litter. He’s had his 2 sets of vaccines including his Rabies shot, a microchip, Advantage flea & tick medication (although none found on him) and he’s had several doses of dewormer. His neuter’s included in his adoption fee and it will be booked by the time he’s adopted and his adopter must be available to bring him to the clinic in Barrie for it. SPUD is a super friendly little guy with a big personality. He loves his humans and snuggling up with them is one of his favourite past times. He does love to run around and play with the other kitties in his foster home so would definitely suit being in a home with another cat or even with one of his siblings. One of his favourite things to do is find a sunny spot and sprawl out on it to soak up the rays. Cat beds and human beds are simply his for sleeping on and the puffier it is the better it is. He loves his food - kibble, wet and Churu. If you don’t fill his bowl up again in the evening then you can guarantee that he’ll be letting you know that he’s not happy with you.  SPUD is litter box trained and has been using it since he was just a few weeks old. This busy little guy has an adventurous side to him and loves to run around and explore his surroundings. He hasn’t met a dog so if there’s one in the home they should be a cat savvy one and we do recommend a slow, monitored introduction whilst the dog is kept leashed for an introduction. He would do well with another feline companion but one who’s not too dominant and definitely easy going like he is. He has met children and they should be age 6 years plus and be loving, caring and gentle towards animals. If SPUD sounds like he’ll fit into your family then please put in an adoption application to meet him. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 1, 2026, 11:33 pm

AGE: 3 monthsSEX: MaleBREED: Domestic Short HairENERGY LEVEL: MediumDOG FRIENDLY: Untested (most likely yes!)CAT FRIENDLY?: Yep!KID FRIENDLY?: Yep!Meet Saffron and Smudge! Saffron and Smudge are the twins you never knew you needed! These two brothers are inseparable and do pretty much everything together - from eating and sleeping to wrestling, playing, exploring, and getting into the occasional bit of mischief. Saffron is the social butterfly of the pair and has never met a person he didn't like. He'll happily greet you, soak up attention, and settle in for cuddles. Smudge is a little more cautious and likes to take his time with new people, but he takes a lot of confidence from his brother. Once he sees Saffron getting cuddles, he's usually not far behind and is becoming more comfortable with handling every day.These boys are playful, curious, and full of energy. They love wrestling with each other, battling over toys, climbing, exploring, and curling up with their people on the couch. Saffron is especially energetic, while Smudge happily joins in before occasionally deciding he needs a little break from his brother! They are litter box trained and would love a home filled with toys, cat trees, tunnels, and plenty of cozy hiding spots. They are also great with kids, with Saffron happily socializing and Smudge warming up with a little extra patience. Given their young age, they would likely do well in a home with other cats or dogs.Saffron and Smudge must be adopted together. Their personalities complement each other perfectly, and Smudge's confidence grows from watching his outgoing brother. They are truly inseparable little companions who bring so much joy, curiosity, and affection wherever they go. Whoever gets to welcome these two into their home is getting a very special pair!Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home Saffron and Smudge?

Story
DOB June 4, 2024 Carl is a funny, easygoing cat with the perfect balance of independence and affection. He loves being around people and getting attention, but he isn’t overly clingy or constantly demanding cuddles. He’s always happy to hang out near you, get some pets, and be part of whatever is going on. His absolute favourite thing in the world is playing with a feather wand. He is an incredible jumper and will happily chase and leap after the feathers over and over again. He could honestly play forever if you let him! When he isn’t playing, Carl loves finding his favourite cozy spots around the house and settling in for a great nap. His fur is brown tabby and white. One of the sweetest things about him is that he will actually meow back when you call his name. He is also extremely gentle. He is very relaxed and easy to handle, and you can pick him up and hold him, although his short attention span soon has him ready to move on to his next adventure. Carl also loves having open space where he can run around, explore, and play. He gets little bursts of energy and is so entertaining to watch when he decides it’s time to race around the house. He has a favourite grooming comb that helps remove his shedding fur, and he absolutely loves it. Grooming him is actually something he really enjoys and is a great way to bond with him. Carl is incredibly loved in his foster home, and his foster family is hoping he will find an adopter who will give him the same love, attention, playtime, and comfort. He will make a wonderful companion for the right person or family.

Story
DOB: June 15, 2025 Isabel is an affectionate, sweet gal who was rescued from homelessness in Spring 2026, along with her four babies. Although she was very young herself, Isabel was a good momma and gave her kittens great care. Her babies are now independent, so it is Isabel’s turn to be nurtured and pampered. Isabel is no longer struggling to survive as a stray and she is free of her maternal responsibilities, so she is ready to enjoy life! With her friendly, easy-going personality, Isabel is a wonderful cat companion. She adores being petted, brushed, and receiving chin scritches.  Like many cats, Isabel isn’t fond of being picked up, and she is still uncertain about snuggling, but that will probably come with time. Isabel delights in playing with catnip toys and loves the comfort of a soft cozy bed or couch. She is continuing to develop a connection with people, but already she will enthusiastically greet everyone with a warm welcome every time they walk in the room. Isabel’s gentle persona will be a warm and wonderful addition to your family. She would be suitable in a family with older children and a similar-aged cat.Adoption applications are available at http://www.forgottenones.ca/adoptions/. Please email the completed form to contact@forgottenones.ca. Adoption fees are $250.00 for adult cats (one year and older), $300.00 for kittens, and $175.00 for senior cats (10+ years old). The fee includes: veterinary health check, spay/neuter surgery, microchip, testing for Feline Leukemia and FIV, vaccinations, flea and ear mite treatments NOTE: Young kittens may not have had their spay/neuter surgery and final vaccinations at the time of their bio posting, but they are included in the adoption fee.  September 1, 2026, 7:30 pm

Story
DOB April 26, 2021 I’m Apollo and I want to be your friend! I am a sweet dude who loves to hang with his humans, especially in a nice comfortable bed. I like to sleep with my humans, play with my foster brother, and watch the birds outside the window. I am a calm and relaxed guy, not much phases me. I am a big cat, both long and tall and a little chubby, so I am on a diet and need measured portions of food to get to a healthier weight. My fur is brown tabby and white. I have epilepsy so I need medication 2 times a day to keep the seizures under control, and I need my blood tested every six months (I take my pills very easily). Note from foster parent: Apollo is a kind, sweet, and loving guy. He wants to always be with his humans or his cat pals. He loves neck scratches and his toys.
