Story
We acquired Bruce (purebred Serengeti) in 2018 as he was my dad’s cat, and my dad suddenly passed away. We think Bruce is now about 13 years old. Since we had our son in 2022 he has been reclusive and hides in the basement most of the time. Even more so since we welcomed our second child last year. He is very shy at first but then very cuddly, vocal, and attached to his “people”. Bruce is looking for a home without young kids or dogs, and for an owner who can give him the love and attention he deserves. Bruce is on special food and requires a transdermal steroid daily.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.TEACHER was found living in a backyard under a shed and she’d been there since the wintertime. Suddenly 4 kittens appeared with her and we received a call to get them removed and into rescue, They were rescued on the Labour Day weekend so we named them Teacher and her subjects (Calculus, Drama, Gym and Library.) She’s been spayed, had her vaccines including a rabies shot, Revolution and a microchip plus a clean bill of health from the vet. If you’re looking for the cutest most affectionate cat then look no further as here’s your girl. She loves to snuggle up with you and turns into a purring machine and will head bop you to give her head scratches.  TEACHER is litter box trained and has been since she came into rescue. She’s fostered with 2 other adult cats and is very snuggly with them and will curl up and have a snooze beside them as well. We would love to see her go to a home with another cat as she does really enjoy their company but she can be an only cat provided she’s not left on her own for long periods at a time. She’s met a puppy and there wasn’t any issues at all so would suit being with a dog. We recommend as always a slow, monitored introduction between them while the dog is kept leashed. Children should be aged 6 years and up plus be loving, gentle and calm around animals. TEACHER loves to chase the other cats in her foster home around and has been caught many a time grooming one cat or another and sharing her food bowl with them. She eats both kibble and wet food and just loves Temptations treats and lick sticks. She’ll sit in the raised cat bed for a nap and has just started to sit in the window sill and watch with interest as the leaves fall off the trees and if she’s lucky enough she’ll spot a bunny or 2 hopping around.  If TEACHER sounds like she’d fit into your family then please submit an adoption application to meet her.      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 22, 2025, 12:50 am

Story
Three year old Kevin is a special dude who's looking for an equally special home - If you love cats that are full of personality, mischief, and have a sweet n' sassy attitude, Kevin wants to get to know you! Kevin originally became a member of the Furry Friends Family after he was surrendered at our door. Although he was just a baby at the time, he was extremely frightened of everything around him and just had no idea how to exist without that paralyzing fear. We quickly discovered that hands, feet, and raised voices in particular terrified him, and in order to protect himself from these perceived threats, Kevin would bite and scratch to keep humans away. This reaction was of no fault of Kevin's own, something that clearly scared him right to his very core before we met him. It has taken almost three years to heal from his trauma, but Kevin has made absolutely incredible progress with the help of our volunteers and vets - Nowadays Kevin is a true kitty King in every sense of the word, and he continues to grow and learn every day! With an incredibly intelligent personality, Kevin likes to live life with a 'my way or the highway' mindset - He loves to push his boundaries and see just how much mischief he can get away with, which means that he needs an experienced adopter who can handle his antics! With gentle but firm guidance, Kevin knows how to be a perfectly good boy, even if he pretends not to sometimes. Playful, energetic, and an unapologetic couch potato once he works all of that energy off, Kevin loves to leap from cat tree to window ledge and back again. He has learned just recently that being brushed is GREAT, and he appreciates a well placed scratch on the head and shoulders. You will often find him melting in the sun, and he has even discovered that sleeping in a lap is amazing. Kevin can still become startled and momentarily revert back to the frightened kitten he used to be, and sometimes he will bite or scratch when he feels unsafe. He just needs a calm and steady human who is going to love him through his fears, and still be there on the other side for him. Kevin is looking for a home with no cats, no dogs, and no children. He would greatly benefit from an experienced adopter who is ready to go toe to toe with King Kevin's bodacious personality, and all of the wonderful quirks that come with a cat like him. He is also on a daily medication in order to help manage is anxiety, which he eats in his food like a champ. Kevin has come a long way on his healing journey, and with your help, he's only going to get better and better!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DEER was found living in a backyard under a shed and with her Woodland Litter (Squirrel, Chipmunk and Hedgehog) when we received a call to help rescue them from where they were living and get them to safety. She was a wonderful mum to her 3 girls and now it’s her time to shine and find her forever home. She’s been spayed, had her 2 sets of vaccines including a rabies shot, Revolution and a microchip plus a clean bill of health from her vet. If you’re looking for the sweetest most affectionate kitty out there then look no further as here’s your girl. She loves to snuggle up with you and turns into a purring machine when she gets the attention she craves. She loves being around people and everyone she meets gets greeted with loud meows. DEER is litter box trained and has been ever since coming into the rescue. She’s fostered with a few cats and kittens and is very social with them and will even curl up and have a snooze beside them as well. We would love to see her go to a home with another cat as she does really enjoy their company but she can be an only cat provided she’s not left on her own for long periods at a time. She hasn’t met a dog but if there’s a cat savvy one in the home then they should do well together. We do always recommend a slow, monitored introduction between them while the dog is kept leashed. Children should be aged 6 years and up plus be loving, gentle and calm around animals. DEER loves to sit in the cat tree and have a nap and she also uses the scratch pad attached to it. She’s very playful and loves to chase the little plastic balls around especially the ones with the little bells in. She eats both kibble and wet food and just loves Temptations treats and lick sticks. If DEER sounds like she’d blend right in with your family then please submit an adoption application to meet her.      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 21, 2025, 10:59 pm

Story
Meet Cullen - Our Handsome Holiday Vampire King🎄✨Cullen may share a name with a certain sparkly vampire family, but this large brown tabby's only true thirst this season is for snacks-and maybe a dramatic entrance or two.This food-motivated monarch rules his domain with confident authority, and he's seeking a home where he can reign as the sole sovereign. No other cats in his castle, please-Cullen believes every king deserves a kingdom all his own.He's best suited for an adult-only household that understands that even royal felines need their quiet hours. Though brooding by nature, Cullen absolutely comes alive during playtime. He loves long, theatrical play sessions, sprinting through tunnels like he's dashing through the snow, chasing his wand toy with holiday-movie intensity, and launching surprise pounces that would make any vampire proud.Affection is on his terms-he'll saunter over when the mood (and holiday moonlight) is just right. And when hunger strikes, he's not shy about making royal announcements that could rival a chorus of carolers.If your home could use a touch of gothic charm, a sprinkle of seasonal magic, and the companionship of a dramatic tabby who prowls like the prince of winter twilight, Cullen is ready to claim your heart.Adopt Cullen today-because even vampire kings deserve a warm, cozy, happily-ever-after for the holidays.🎄✨Adoption meet and greet hours are 11 am to 5 pm daily at 91 Patterson in Barrie. For more information, email barrie@ontariospca.ca or call 705-728-7311 ext 6. Cat adoption fees are $260.00 and include spay or neuter surgery, flea prevention, deworming, microchip, vaccines, and much more!
