Story
***AT SHELTER***Alejandro the mysterious dancer! Alejandro is one of "the Spanish 6," a group of cats with charming Spanish names that recently arrived at EHS from another municipal shelter. Shrouded in mystery, not much is known about this quiet boy, except that he's on a journey to find his forever home. This young man is still very reserved and is trying to adjust to his new environment. His first days were spent guarding his litter box, not wanting to leave his comfort zone, and feeling scared when anyone came near. As Alejandro started to warm up, he began meowing when no one was around, singing in his sweet voice. Though he may currently shy away from the spotlight, beneath his timid exterior lies a heart as fiery as the flamenco dancers that grace the streets of Seville. While Alejandro is still getting to know some other friendly felines, it's unknown if he enjoys their presence. He may thrive in the company of a fellow companion, but he hasn't found the right one just yet. Once he taps into his confidence, the top priority for this Spanish dancer is a home full of vibrant energy where he can feel comfortable dancing around and showing off his flare. He needs someone or a family to be patient and understanding with him as he discovers himself and begins to show everyone his passionate, loving heart. Alejandro's steps echo the rhythm of his untold story. Are you ready to unveil the depths of his graceful choreography? --------------------The adoption fee for a single cat at EHS is $175. Take home an adult feline friend for your kitty and the adoption fee for the pair is $300! For kittens under six months of age, the adoption fee is $200...Or double your cuteness quotient and adopt two wee furballs for $350! If you mix and match (kitten plus cat), the adoption fee is $300.

***AT SHELTER***Esmeralda is full of "tortitude!"Esmeralda is a sweet and reserved tortoiseshell girl whose living circumstances dramatically changed when her previous owner passed away and she landed at a municipal shelter, scared and confused. Now at EHS, this girl is receiving plenty of TLC and socialization to help her through this difficult transition. The first few days were rough for her, but Esmeralda quickly realized that all the new faces staring back at her were those of kind and caring people. With that, she began to relax and settle into her new environment.When she isn't sleeping in her cubby, Esmeralda loves a good meal and plenty of attention. She actively seeks affection by head-bumping your hand, rolling around, and showing her belly. If she becomes unsure, she will sometimes let out a little hiss (i.e., her "tortitude") to let you know.We don't know much about Esmeralda's past, but given her gentle nature, she would enjoy a quiet home. Her experience with other cats, dogs, and small children is unknown.If you're looking for a sweet girl with a bit of attitude, submit an adoption application for Esmeralda, today!--------------------The adoption fee for a single cat at EHS is $175.

Story
Hi, my name is Lily. I'm a pretty shy girl and spend most of my time in my covered cat bed, but I really want to make friends. I love to be petted, especially deep ear rubs and down my back so I can do elevator butt! If you're patient and quiet, I will come out to visit you, roll beside your lap and knead and purr for you (I'm quite the biscuit maker).Food is another way to my heart. I eat wet food or soaked kibble because I had to have all my teeth removed, but that doesn't stop me from being a healthy eater, and I often have my tongue poking out in a cute "blep"! I love tube treats like Churu. I haven't shown many playful behaviours yet, but once I settle into my new home and get more comfortable I will likely want to play just like any cat.If you have a calm, quiet home for me and want lots of kitty affection, please book an adoption appointment today!***NOTE*** Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets. They will be experiencing a new environment and meeting new people, which means they may not exhibit the same behaviours they did in their foster videos or while in foster care.If you are viewing this through Petango or Adopt-a-pet, please visit our website https://kwsphumane.ca/adopt/process

Good with cats, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
FIV/FeLV negative, microchipped, DOB February 20, 2020 I can be a bit shy at first, but once we get to know each other I am all love and headbutts! I like belly rubs, and when I am getting lots of love and pets I will flop on the ground and sometimes make happy little snorting noises. It takes time for me to warm up to new people so I hope you will be patient with me! I was rescued from an overcrowding situation with many other cats, and I still really love having cat friends. They make me braver and keep me company, so I will need to have another friendly cat companion in my adoptive home. My foster parent says that I am a wonderful and loving boy! Once you earn my trust I will shower you with love.

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Microchipped, DOB March 6, 2021 Emani needs a lot of attention - cuddles, hugs, it's all about her! She only shy with strangers, only afraid of water, and prefers to be as close to humans as possible. She is also a purring machine, and likes to play with random toys around the house; springs, the cat tree, and the laser pointer are her favourites so far. Emani is a super sweet little girl who requires a lot of attention, so she might be ideal for a family with kids, or adopters who work from home. She also needs to be the only cat in her home. She hates being separated from her humans and will just quietly follow you around the house. She is also absolutely chill and never aggressive.
