🖤PRINCE🖤 Male | 3Y | 5.5 KG | Domestic Short Hair | Neutered | UTD on shots | Crate Trained | Untested with dogs | Not kid tested | Currently taking gabapentin | Fostered in Hamilton This royal cat is looking for his forever home! Prince is a social and playful cat, with lots of energy to spare. And what better way to burn off all that energy than zoomies up and down the stairs? Prince can be quite nervous when meeting people for the first time, but he's so sweet once he's settled. He loves head kisses and being picked up once you've gained his trust. Prince loves catnip toys and watching the traffic go by from his cat tree. As Prince can be reactive in stressful situations, his fosters have used a crate as his safe space. Currently, he will spend nights in his crate and needs it to calm down when overstimulated. During the day, Prince will spend time both in and out of his crate, depending on how he's feeling. He loves lounging at feather toys from his hiding spots and chasing crumpled paper balls. When Prince gets stressed out, in situations with prolonged eye contact or unexpected noises, he can become terrified and try to protect himself. It's important to recognize how Prince is feeling and encourage him to go into his crate before episodes to help him calm down. An ideal day for Prince would be spent lounging by a window and not being bothered by humans unless he chooses to bother you! He would do best with a cat friend around his age with a similar rough play style to run and wrestle with. Prince is looking for a family willing to dedicate time to gain his trust. He is so intelligent and affectionate. Even though he can be anxious, it's very clear that all he truly wants is love and someone to build trust with!

Story
Miss Jenkins is a domestic shorthair black female who is 9 months old. She is currently at PetSmart. She previously was in foster care with Oliver. Meet Miss Jenkins, a young feline with a heart full of affection. Her sweet and friendly demeanour is sure to win over anyone who crosses her path. Miss Jenkins is also playful and smart, making her an entertaining companion. Despite her independent streak, she enjoys seeking out attention and love from those around her. However, she prefers to keep her paws on the ground and isn't too fond of being picked up just yet. Miss Jenkins can be a little shy, but once she warms up to you, her love is endless. Miss Jenkins would make a wonderful addition to any home, offering both companionship and a unique personality. Her blend of playful energy and loving nature makes her the perfect pet to bring joy and happiness into your life. Miss Jenkins came to us with an eye infection and upon treatment, the vet has noted she does have one eye that is smaller than the other which just makes her extra cute. She has been treated for her eye infection and cleared by her veterinary team however, she does have a weepy eye at times, especially if she is feeling stressed. Hey eye should not cause any issues long term but we want to make sure her new family understands her special quirk. Miss Jenkins is spayed, microchipped and is fully vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies. She is FIV negative and FeLV negative. Adoption fee is $300. To apply, please submit an adoption application.

Story
Poptart is a black and white domestic shorthair male who is approximately 3 years old. He is currently in foster care. Poptart originated from an abusive home where he was found tethered to his litter box with a very short lead. His spirit is like no other, and he is the most loyal cat once he's bonded to his people. Poptart is the most fun loving and playful boy. Once he warms up to his new surroundings, he will come and curl up in your lap and ask for lots of head and ear scratches. He has a huge personality and lots of energy, you'll often find him zooming around when he is excited! He loves playing with other cats and would likely do well in a home with another cat where they can play to their heart's content. At the end of the day, Poptart loves nothing more than to snuggle up with his person. If you are looking to add a handsome, playful, affectionate cat to your family, Poptart is your boy! Poptart was previously adopted to a home where he was the only cat, and his adopter worked outside the home for 8 hours a day. After a month in his new home, it was very apparent that through no fault of his adopter or Poptart that he needed a home where someone was home the majority of the day. Poptart was returned into our care to find such a home. Poptart bonds fiercely to his person and sometimes will go on a "hunger strike " protest at his person leaving for too long. In these situations, he needs to be hand fed and given extra loving. His intense love is like no other. Before Poptart came into DRK's care, he had entropion surgery and is fully recovered.. Entropion surgery is when the eyelid rolls inward and the fur contacts the eye surface. His eyelid has been surgically corrected to prevent his eyelid touching the surface of his eye. As such, you will notice that Poptart's eye is slightly mishapen from this surgery, and his eye will weep from time to time and need a soft warm cloth to wipe away his eye crusties. Poptart is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and FIV negative and FeLV negative. His adoption fee is $300. To apply, please submit an adoption application.
