Story
Howdy, I’m Geralt! (That’s right, with a T!) I’m a sweet and distinguished gentleman who will happily accept your love and attention.

I may not have had the easiest life so far but I’m ready to enjoy the rest of it in the lap of luxury... maybe even YOUR lap?MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES... CHILDREN: I could be a good match with respectful children. OTHER CATS: I could be a good match with another cat after a proper introduction. DOGS: I could be a good match with a dog after a proper introduction. SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME... FIRST TIME CAT OWNERS: Yes.ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.

Story
Could this kitty “Jimmy” his way into your heart?Beautiful but timid Jimmy came from an overcrowded municipal shelter where he was defensive and scared. He has shown that fear to us, but is on a journey towards opening up and learning that humans aren’t so bad.About Jimmy- At shelter- Jimmy is still adjusting to his life at the shelter, but has shown great strides!- Due to his tough-guy act on the streets, Jimmy has developed an impressive growl. He hisses when he’s approached too quickly and swats at hands when they come too close to his face. He wants you to know that while he may not be ready for physical affection yet, he is a very strong communicator!- With his white face and gorgeous patterned body, Jimmy is a certified cutie!- Jimmy is a skittish cat who has had minimal experience with humans.- Jimmy is currently enrolled in EHS’s socialization program, where dedicated volunteers are working to help him become more comfortable around people.- Some skittish cats may remain reserved, while others may express their trust and affection in a variety of ways.- Jimmy is food motivated and enjoys a good snack! Giving him some Churu from a backscratcher or placing his food bowls in front of him are sure ways to gain his trust!- Though initially nervous and defensive, Jimmy has been relaxing into pets from the backscratcher and particularly enjoys them on his chin and cheeks.- Jimmy has been neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations.Jimmy’s Ideal Home- We are unsure how Jimmy would do with other cats or pets.- A skittish cat will benefit from a calm, quiet environment, preferably without small children.- Jimmy would benefit from having a safe space, such as a small room or bathroom, where he can stay when first adopted to help with the transition to his new home.- Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Jimmy settle into his new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Jimmy with a successful transition to his forever home.Jimmy is looking for a patient home where he can continue to learn the joys of letting his guard down. It’s been a tough road for this guy, but the future is bright! Schedule a meeting with him today!If you have any questions about Jimmy or the adoption process, please contact cats@etobicokehumanesoci

Story
Oh hello there, I’m Ronin!I’m a watchful fellow who prefers to tuck myself away here at the shelter. But if you sit near me, respect my space, and have some patience, I’ll be bunting your hand and asking for more pets in no time! I’m just a sweet boy who’s still learning the people and hands are safe. Once I’m settled into my very own home, I’ll come out of my shell. Then watch out! My handsomeness will surely blow you away.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES... CHILDREN: Respectful teenagers would be fine, but young children might make me nervous.OTHER CATS: I could be a good match with a calm and respectful cat after a proper introduction. DOGS: I could be a good match with a calm, cat-savvy dog after a proper introduction. SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME... FIRST TIME CAT OWNERS: Possibly, even better if you have some experience with shy cats.ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-medium.

Story
Hi there, I’m Blythe!I’m a sleek and beautiful black cat that can be pretty shy. But once I get comfortable and feel safe, I’m affectionate and LOVE to be on your lap! While I’m a major sweetie personality-wise, my new family should know that I do have some medical matters: I have a history of eating things I shouldn’t (like tinsel), and I sometimes won’t go to the bathroom for 2 or 3 days at a time. I can be a bit nervous with formal handling and I need a family who can diligently monitor my litterbox usage—I would be a great match for an RVT, vet student, or someone else that has medical experience with cats!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES... CHILDREN: I could be a good match with older, respectful children. OTHER CATS: I could be a good match with another cat after a proper introduction. DOGS: I could be a good match with a dog after a proper introduction. SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME... FIRST TIME CAT OWNERS: No, I need someone who has experience with cats and will know how to best monitor me for signs I’m not well.ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium If you think I would make a good match for your home, please click the `Adopt Me` button to apply!

Story
Hello, I’m Spookie!I like to take my time getting to know new places — quietly watching, carefully stepping forward, and then, once I feel brave, exploring with sweet little sniffs and tiny paw taps. The world fascinates me, especially when I get to discover it at my own pace. When I feel safe, I’m all about warm snuggles and soft purrs. I’ll curl up close, rest my little head near you, and simply enjoy being together. Calm moments are my favorite. If you’re ready for a kind, curious little companion who will bring warmth and gentle joy into your home, I could be the perfect match for you.
