Story
SALT | FEMALE | estimated DOB 07/01/2024 *Currently being fostered in Hamilton, ON Meet Salt! Salt came into our care as a devoted mother to three newborn kittens. While lovingly raising them, she was also healing from an injury of unknown cause that sadly led to the amputation of one of her back feet. Despite this, Salt has shown incredible resilience and has adapted very well to her amputation. Salt is an affectionate, people-friendly cat who enjoys quiet companionship. She loves being near her humans, relaxing and softly purring when she feels safe and content. Her calm and gentle nature make her a soothing presence to have around the home. With her relaxed and peaceful demeanor, Salt would thrive in a calm, loving environment where she can enjoy routine, comfort, and attention at her own pace. Salt moves confidently as she goes about her day, and her amputation in no way diminishes her loving personality or her ability to form strong bonds with those around her. During her time in our care, Salt proved to be a patient and nurturing mother. Now that her kittens are ready for their next chapter, it’s Salt’s turn to be cherished in a home of her own. If you’re searching for a sweet, laid-back companion to share quiet moments and cozy days, Salt is ready to be your loyal and loving friend. Salt has been: • Spayed • Vaccinated You can find more videos and pictures of Salt on our Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok pages! Follow us @helpaws or www.facebook.com/helpaws

Story
Meet Milo 😸🐾 Milo is a tabby kitten who purrs like a tiny engine and believes personal space is optional. A true Velcro cat, his favourite place is on you, beside you, or firmly attached to your lap. When he’s not cuddling, Milo loves zoomies and wrestling with other cats and would do great with a playful feline friend. He’s endlessly curious and proudly carries his mouse toys around like important hunting trophies 🐭 ✨ Special note: Milo has a sensitive tummy and is currently thriving on a vet-prescribed Royal Canin gastro diet (approx. $50–$60 per bag). Other foods have caused digestive issues, though he may outgrow this as he gets older. We’re happy to chat more about his needs. If you’re looking for a cuddly, playful little shadow who will keep you company (and supervise everything you do), Milo is ready to move in and take over your lap 💛

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If your interested in adopting me please fill out an adoption application! Finnegan is a gentle boy. He is submissive and shy. He gets along with cats and kittens love to sleep and cuddle with him. He has been living with Alex/Lady Pearl, who admires him, and five kittens for the last few months and is very gentle and patient with them. He has been around a dog for the last few months and met her face to face calmly. He loves all cat toys especially catnip, cat tree and sleep on a chair by the window. He is tall with long legs and strong. He does not like to be held yet but is slowly trusting humans. Baby steps and patience needed. He has come a long way since he was found outside. He does fear anything from above but at treat time finally accepts petting from head to tail for a moment. He should start in a small room with a window and a hiding and safe space where he can calmly sleep and lounge but also easily accessible to feed and pet him and get to know his new owner. Slow and steady familiarization with positive reinforcement will help him trust humans and grow to be the wonderful cat he is.  ***ADOPTION INFORMATION: The adoption fee of $295 per feline includes a veterinary exam, parasites treatment, spay/neuter, vaccination and microchip. The adopter will be responsible for the first, second and third sets of vaccinations if they haven't already been administered.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 1, 2026, 5:54 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If your interested in adopting me please fill out an adoption application! Alex/Lady Pearl is the gentlest and cuddliest girl around. She can be held and will melt in your shoulder like butter. She is submissive and shy. She loves to sit on the cat tree and look out the window or sleep in a bookshelf. She loves Finnegan and will talk to him when he gets up. They have been together for the past few weeks and got along immediately. Baby steps and patience needed. She still fears people and retreat around humans until comfortable to come out, walk around and lounge.  She should start in a small room with a window and a hiding safe space where she can calmly sleep but also easily accessible to feed and pet her and get to know her new owner and environment. Slow and steady familiarization with positive reinforcement will help her trust humans and grow to be the wonderful cat she is. ***ADOPTION INFORMATION: The adoption fee of $295 per feline includes a veterinary exam, parasites treatment, spay/neuter, vaccination and microchip.
