Kittens and cats in Port Dover, Ontario

Please visit ladybirdanimalsanctuary.com for more info and to apply to adopt. This sweet old man was found as a stray in October, but no one claimed him. He was brought to Hamilton Animal Services, and because he is such a snugglebum, they got him ready to be adopted out. During routine medical exams, a lump was found in his neck and it was discovered that he had hyperthyroidism. This, along with being FIV positive, meant he was off the shelter’s adoption list. Because Hamilton Animal Services is overrun with so many cats right now, this, heartbreakingly, meant Arthur was put on the euthanasia list. Thankfully Ladybird were able to scoop up Arthur with literally with days to spare. This guy is absolute delight. In the mornings he yells until he gets cuddles and only then will he eat his breakfast. His favourite place is snugged up right beside his person, even if there really isn’t space for him. He will grumble if you disturb his nap or dare to move while he is relaxing beside you. In November, he had his thyroid removed, and we are happy to say he is doing much better. A post surgery test showed that his bloodwork was still at the right level, so he was taken off his thyroid medication. Since then, he has become much more active. He is a fan of anything he can chase or catch. His most recent checkup showed that his blood levels are still good, so he could finally stop getting thyroid food as well (which is good cause he does NOT like it). Arthur has not met any dogs or cats since coming into Ladybird’s care. He is FIV positive, so though not necessary, a household as the only cat would be best. He is a shy guy – he will hide if any visitors arrive. Arthur’s story highlights why it is important to adopt, not shop. Adopt from a shelter so they have space for more animals and don’t have to euthanize due to overcrowding. Adopt from a rescue, so they, in turn, can rescue more animals. Every person who has adopted from Ladybird has allowed another animal to be rescued and given another chance. If you can’t adopt, think about fostering. If you can’t foster, donate to Ladybird and other rescues. This allows more animals like Arthur to be saved! Please adopt Arthur!

In October, Hitch came to us with a severely injured leg. In November, Tuesday came to us with a degloved tail and injured leg. Hitch’s leg has healed wonderfully. Tuesday’s tail had to be amputated, but she has made a fantastic recovery. They were both in the same foster home, but they had been kept separate until our vet gave the go-ahead to introduce them. It was an almost immediate bond when they met and they've been inseparable ever since. Tuesday and Hitch are now ready to find their forever home! Both cats are healthy, happy, and healed from their surgeries. Because of Hitch’s healed leg injury, adopters should be prepared for him to possibly suffer from arthritis in adulthood, but it’s not an immediate concern. Here’s a note from their foster family: “A great duo, Hitch & Tuesday are the perfect pair. They get along great with each other and with our other cats. Hitch has a full battery that drains quickly. He loves to play hard before settling in for long nap – ideally under a mountain of blankets. This cuddly guy will let you know when he’s ready to be picked up to sit on your lap. He’s not shy about getting your attention. Tuesday offsets Hitch’s energy slightly. She prefers to start her day playing with Hitch before finding a nice nap spot. She loves her food and is always curious what’s cooking in the kitchen. Hitch can get a bit growly when it comes to his food, but he doesn’t lash out or get aggressive. Thankfully, Tuesday isn’t phased by this one bit. These two will be hard to say goodbye to. They’re going to be making someone very happy.” Please adopt Tuesday and Hitch! ❤️ See their full rescue stories and apply to adopt at their profile pages: 🐾Tuesday: ladybirdanimalsanctuary.com/las1604/ 🐾 Hitch: ladybirdanimalsanctuary.com/las1591/ Adoption fee for the pair is $350

Please visit ladybirdanimalsanctuary.com for more info and to apply to adopt. Katsura! AGE AT ARRIVAL: Approximately 10 years old ARRIVAL DATE: October 14th, 2023 GENDER: Spayed Female ADOPTION FEE: $200 Katsura ended up at Hamilton Animal Services as a stray and was not claimed. She is microchipped, but the chip was not traceable. This is your reminder to keep your pet’s microchip info up to date with the chip company! If you move or change your phone number without letting the company know, they won’t be able to contact you if your pet is lost or stolen. When Katsura arrived at the shelter, her ears were full of debris and they were very itchy. Her abdomen was distended, and her spine was prominent. Because of the overwhelming number of cats currently at Hamilton Animal Services, Katsura ended up on the euthanasia list because of her age and possible health issues. We were happy to get Katsura out of the shelter when HAS staff reached out to let us know her life was in danger. Thankfully, we had a foster home open up just at the right time, and they love fostering senior cats! Win win! Over the next few months, Katsura had many vet visits and was eventually diagnosed with calicivirus and mycoplasma it took a long time to get her healthy enough to be made available for adoption, but she’s ready! Because the possibility of future flare ups of the calicivirus and mycoplasma, Katsura should be the only cat in the home. Here’s a note from her foster family. “Katsura has to be the cuddliest cat that we have ever fostered. She is constantly on our laps, snuggling in our beds or can be found nestled in some blankets or clean laundry. She has a fantastic purr and will roll with you while sleeping- she doesn’t care if you roll over, she will just re-situate herself. Katsura has a fantastic purr and when she is really in a happy place, she definitely drools a little bit. Katsura is also a fantastic alarm cat. She knows exactly when it’s feeding time and will let you know when you are 30 seconds late with the cutest little me-ow. She adores her food and treats. Katsura contracted calicivirus and mycoplasma during her stay at animal services. These both will be a part of her life and she might have some flair ups during moments of stress and will have to go on antibiotics to make sure it doesn’t end with a sinus (and connecting ear) infection. Katsura’s ears were a mess when she first arrived at Ladybird and they tend to be a sensitive part for scratches so the we have learned to avoid scratching her ears unless Katsura lets them know its ok. Katsura has a fantastic warning growl before she swipes and now that her ears are cleaned up and not bothering her, those growls are few and far in between. Katsura is being fostered with a pupper who adores cats. She has no problem letting the dog know that she is the boss and to back off when he is getting too excited and it fine with ignoring him completely when just living together. We definitely have come across Katsura and the dog sleeping together on the couch. Although Katsura is estimated to be about 10 years old, she has bursts of energy and loves chasing toys around the house and attacking the feather duster. She also gets the cutest zoomies when it’s dinner time and will run around the house to get your attention that it’s time to eat.” Please adopt Katsura!
