Kittens and cats in Paris, Ontario

Mikey has a big personality. He is super fun, playful and confident. He loves to play with a feather on a stick as much as he loves your attention. He would do well in an adult home or one with older children.

Calypso was an only baby for her mom Camille. She is very outgoing and playful. She joined another litter to play so she knows the rules. Ideally we would love to see them stay together but we will not hold her back from a good home as she loves to play.

Meet Simba & Tigger! These sweet gentle boys are now about 2.5 years old. They were rescued from the streets scrounging for food. Tigger is a social, well-adjusted cat but Simba is still very shy and looks to his brother for confidence. From their foster mom – “Tigger loves his snuggles. Simba is getting there slowly. He will now sleep with us on the bed. He comes out when people are over which is a big step!” They have come a long way from their days on the street. Simba & Tigger would do best in an experienced home with the patience to give them some time to adjust. They are on a veterinary grade diet for their dry food (Hill’s Urinary CD Stress) and Fancy Feast for their wet. Simba had blood in his urine when we brought him in. The likely diagnosis is Feline Idiopathic Cystitis due to stress as there was nothing found in urinary tests (no crystals/no infection). The CD Stress diet cleared it up and he should remain on this diet for the rest of his life. We are happy to supply 3 months of the dry food to get you started. Veterinary diets are better quality but more expensive than pet store brands. These two boys so deserve a loving forever home. If you have room in your heart & your home for Simba & Tigger, please contact us here, email heartstohomesfelines@gmail.com or fill out an application at www.heartstohomes.ca. They have been neutered, vaccinated microchipped and tested negative for FIV/FELV.

Meet Willow! Willow is a beautiful, ~ 3.5 year old, medium haired Tabby who came to us with 4 kittens in tow. She is a gentle soul who allows her foster mom to pick her up and trim her nails. She is on the shier side in her current foster home as she does not like the other adult cats in the home. She hides from them or chases them. When Willow feels safe in a room with a closed door, she is social and has even been caught watching Ninja Turtles with one of the children in the home – LOL! Needless to say, Willow would do best as an only cat in a calmer home where she feels safe. She would be fine with respectful children and could also be adopted with one of her kittens who are 4 months old now. Willow will be spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped and vet checked. We are also doing a dental for Willow as she has a cracked tooth that should be removed. If you have room in your heart & your home for Willow or Willow & one of her kittens (refer Flower, Daisy, Lily listing), contact us here or fill out an application at https://heartstohomes.ca/adoption-application/. The adoption fee is $250.

Meet Charlie & Sundae! Charlie came to us from the streets in the middle of winter with a very serious neck wound. He had a rough start – first with the neck wound, then with FIP. He is in good health now. Charlie is a very sweet and smart boy – about 3 years old. He is also known as Uncle Charlie having helped raise a few litters of kittens in his foster home. He is great with children, other cats and cat savvy dogs. He is also a very smart boy – he taught himself how to open doors LOL! Sundae came to us pregnant from a rural property and raised 4 kittens with the help of ‘Uncle Charlie’. Sundae’s kittens have all been adopted now. She is also about 3 years old. Sundae is a shy gentle soul who will need a little time adjust to a new home. Sundae is fine with children, other cats and the larger dog in the foster home. This unlikely duo fell in love in their foster home and have become very bonded. Charlie gives Sundae confidence and they so deserve a happily ever after. Charlie & Sundae have been neutered/spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Sundae tested negative for FIV/FELV. Charlie tested positive for FIV and negative for FELV. We will provide a 2 year health guaranty for Charlie and here is more information on FIV: About FIV -------------- FIV is a feline only virus that is not transmitted to people or other animal species. FIV is not passed between cats through casual contact like sharing food bowls or litter boxes or through playing, wrestling or licking/cleaning each other. FIV is passed between cats through a deep bite wound – deep enough to inject saliva into the bloodstream of the other cat – commonly occurring in unneutered outdoor cats who fight for territory. Purdue University’s College of Veterinary Medicine conducted a long-term study in cat shelters and found that FIV-positive cats can live with FIV-negative cats and not infect the FIV-negative cats during normal day-to-day interaction. Studies over the last 10 years have also shown that cats with FIV often live as long as otherwise healthy cats that do not have this virus. For more information, please check out the links below. Research Evidence: Studies (such as research from the University of Florida Shelter Medicine Program and Purdue University) show that cohabiting FIV+ and non-FIV cats rarely transmit the virus if they do not engage in serious, aggressive fights. [1, 2, 3] “Dr. Zarah Hedge, chief medical officer of the San Diego Humane Society, says some people believe that FIV-positive cats should always live separate from other cats. Not true, she says: FIV-positive and -negative cats can live together as long as all cats are spayed or neutered, remain indoors and interact peacefully.” https://ontariospca.ca/blog/positive-doesnt-need-to-be-negative-adopting-and-living-with-an-fiv-positive-cat/ https://www.humanesociety.org/news/fiv-positive-cats

Meet Cleo! This beautiful Torbie is about 2 years old. Cleo was found on the street begging for food in the middle of winter. Cleo is very shy but has come a long way from when she was first rescued! Cleo loves attention from her foster family but is still skittish. She avoids the other cat & the dog in her foster home. She would do best in a calmer home with the patience and time to work with her to build trust. It is so rewarding when that shy cat starts coming for pets and snuggles. Cleo has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and tested negative for FIV/FELV. If you have room in your heart & your home for Cleo, contact us here, email heartstohomesfelines@gmail.com or fill out an application at www.heartstohomes.ca.
