Good with cats,
Story
DOB: Nov 10, 2022 Meet sweet Vanessa! Vanessa is the kind of cat who fits right into your life — easygoing, affectionate, and full of personality. She loves being near her people and will happily follow your rhythm, syncing up with your wake time, bedtime, and everything in between. Miss her while you're out? She'll be waiting by the door. Gone a little longer? She'll still come running the moment she hears you walk in. She's playful and curious, with a particular weakness for teaser sticks and a front-row seat to whatever's happening outside the window. She can get a little spirited during play, but she's easy to redirect — she just loves a good game! When she's not in action, you might find her napping in the bathroom sink, which she has fully claimed as her own. Mornings with Vanessa are especially sweet. She's a cuddly alarm clock who loves to knead — your tummy, your legs, wherever she can reach — and she'll let you know she's happy with a whole repertoire of little mews. She has different meows for different moods: short, frequent mews when she's enjoying a good rub, and long, whiney ones if something startles her. She even has a habit of meowing when you sneeze, which never gets old. Vanessa recently had her two top canine teeth removed and is still getting used to her new smile. The result? Her top lip does the most adorable things, and her tongue makes surprise appearances throughout the day. Truly, a face you can't stop looking at. One small practical note: Vanessa has a quirky litter box stance — she perches her front paws on the edge while she pees — so a high-sided or covered box works best to keep things tidy. Vanessa is relaxed around other cats and loves people of all kinds, though she hasn't been around dogs or young children. She is, in every way, an absolute joy — independent when she wants to be, devoted when it counts, and genuinely easy to love.

Good with cats,
Story
DOB: Dec 31, 2019 Don’t let her furrowed brow and intense gaze fool you, The Undertaker is a super sweet lady who happens to know what she wants. First off, The Undertaker loves getting under things. Blankets, under them. A towel hanging on a chair, under it. A play tube, in it. You get the idea. Second, she’s also a great communicator. You’ll know when she wants to play or hang out. You’ll often be greeted with a little grunt and a head nod in attempt to coax you. Also be ready for cuddle time if you’re working at a desk. The Undertaker loves to chill out on a lap while you try and be productive. She’ll also enjoy having her own chair to sit next to you, providing a little breathing room. She has great litter box habits, uses the scratcher and has a small appetite, preferring dry food. The Undertaker dislikes wet food and, living up to their name, will attempt to bury it with invisible dirt if presented with some. She has also been known to nom on a plant or two, so keep an eye out for small nibbles on the ends and move toxic plants out of reach. The Undertaker would probably love some cat grass. While The Undertaker is OK with other cats, she doesn’t really seem very interested in making friends with them. So if you’re looking for a tag team partner with a little attitude and independence, The Undertaker is waiting!

Story
FIV/FeLV negative, DOB: Aug 31, 2020 Personality: Sir Fluff is a sweet, curious, and remarkably intelligent boy who wants nothing more than to be near his people. While he isn't quite a lap cat yet, he is a dedicated "sidekick" who will cuddle up against you on the sofa and loves to sleep close to his humans, day or night. He is a social boy who will follow you into the kitchen to supervise your cooking and will be waiting patiently at the door the moment you get home. Funny quirks: -He has a distinct, regal gait that makes him look like a miniature king of the jungle. -When it comes to playtime, he prefers to stalk his favourite wand toys or the Cat Dancer from a distance for a long time before making his grand pounce. -When he’s feeling particularly playful and wants your attention, he’ll let you know with a playful paw or a gentle "love bite" at your ankles. -He isn't much of a climber. Instead, he prefers the finer things at ground level, like tunnels, closets, and cozy dark spaces. History: Sir Fluff came to Toronto Cat Rescue after his previous family found they could no longer manage his specialized health needs. Now five years old, he is looking for a forever home that can provide the consistent care he needs to stay healthy and handsome. Sir Fluff is a cat who requires a dedicated owner to manage two main areas: Skin Care: He has a skin condition that is easily managed with a quick dab of transdermal steroid cream on his ear every other day. During Toronto winters, he also appreciates a humidifier to keep his skin hydrated. Sensitive Tummy: He has a very sensitive stomach and must stay on his vet-prescribed diet. Because certain treats can cause tummy upset, he needs a family that can be disciplined with his snacks. Fitness Goals: As a "big boy", Sir Fluff is on a journey to a healthier weight and will need a family to help him stick to his diet plan. Special note from the foster family: Sir Fluff truly lives up to his valiant title. When he first arrived, he was struggling with significant fur loss, scabs, and tummy issues that seemed impossible to solve. Watching his transformation has been one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives. Today, he is a different cat: his coat is long, thick, and beautiful, and his health is stable and managed. He’s ready to face the world!

Not good with cats,
Story
FIV/FeLV negative, DOB: Jan 13, 2021 Ernie is a laid-back, gentle boy who loves comfort, calm spaces, and quiet companionship. His favorite things include napping (especially under blankets), getting pets and head scratches, and playing. He has playful bursts in the mornings and evenings—his favorite toy is a bird wand—but overall he’s more of a relaxed, easygoing guy. When he’s not tucked under a blanket, Ernie will politely wait nearby and meow to let you know when he’d like food, playtime, or a little attention. He’s calm and quiet at night, comfortable being picked up, and very gentle. If he ever gets annoyed, he’ll give a soft paw tap instead of scratching. Despite having a tough start in life, Ernie is truly a softie at heart. He did get into some fights with another neighbourhood cat when he was a stray though, so it seems he’s not his usual softie self when it comes to other cats. Funny quirks: -Thinks blankets are both his enemy and best friend. He wants to hide under them but is personally offended when they move. -Will wait for you outside of closed doors and slide his paws underneath to get your attention -Absolutely goes bonkers for the feather string toy. -Really likes scotch tape rolls and is intrigued by origami making History: Ernie began showing up in a Toronto neighborhood in mid-September of 2025. At first, he appeared healthy, so it was assumed he had a home. By November, he was visiting a Toronto home more frequently, and it became clear he was living outdoors. He was very tough and territorial with other cats, but still showed moments of friendliness and allowed occasional petting. As winter set in, life outside became harder and Ernie grew more defensive. After the New Year, during a period of extreme cold and snow, it was clear he had been abandoned and was surviving fully outdoors. Flyers were posted, but no owner came forward. Around this time, Ernie appeared with visible injuries to his face and ear. Concerned for his safety, he was coaxed indoors with food and given a secure sanctuary space, marking the start of his journey off the streets and into care. Special note from my foster family: My family really bonded with Ernie, he is a wonderful cat and who just got dealt a bad hand. When we first picked him up the vet said he was very scared. He was a little scared at first, but very quickly he became comfortable and a big old softy. We couldn't believe Ernie was a big boss on the streets just because of how friendly and chill he is. Overall, Ernie is the kind of cat who quietly steals your heart. He’s affectionate, easygoing, and full of love, and he’s ready to share that love with a forever family who will give him the safe, cozy life he deserves.
