Story
🎨 Meet Marble – A Resilient Tortie Beauty 🎨 📍 Fostered in Kitchener | 🐾 Female | DOB: April 2022 | 💉 Spayed, Vaccinated, Microchipped | Special Needs About Marble: Marble’s journey has been one of courage and survival. Rescued pregnant from the country, her past injuries were only discovered later through x-rays: both of her back legs had been broken in several places and healed on their own. Against all odds, Marble not only walks—she thrives! While she can’t jump very high, she moves confidently, climbs stairs, and enjoys life’s little pleasures. Skills & Personality: 💕 Affectionate Companion – loves pets, cuddles, and even being held 🎶 Chatty Girl – will let you know when it’s time for attention (or moist food!) 🪶 Playful Spirit – enjoys chasing the laser, wand toys, and lounging in her tunnel 🛏️ Routine Lover – naps daily in her cozy cat bed, often followed by birdwatching from the window 🐾 Independent but Loving – a little shy at first, but blossoms once she trusts you Special Notes: 🩺 Marble has arthritis from her past injuries and receives a monthly Solensia injection ($70+/month depending on vet) to keep her comfortable and pain-free. 🐕 Not tested with dogs. 🐈 Would thrive best as an only pet so she can soak up all the love and attention. Ideal Home: Marble would do best with a single adopter or quiet couple who can provide her with stability, patience, and lots of affection. She’s ready for her second chance—a forever home where she can finally receive the love she always deserved. 💜 Adoption Details: Apply to adopt at rtcrescue.ca ✨ Give Marble the happily-ever-after she’s been waiting for – she’s ready to fill your home with love.

Story
BIJOU Female DOB May 26, 2025 Spayed, vaccinated including rabies, dewormed, debugged, microchipped •fostered in Cambridge, ON BIJOU was rescued from outside during the winter alongside her mom, BLANCHE and has been learning ever since that life indoors is safe, warm, and full of love. She’s that sweet, shy girl who will come running for attention… and then zoom right past you. But once she’s comfortable, she’ll rub against your legs and quietly ask for affection in her own gentle way. Bijou absolutely adores her foster friends and takes a lot of comfort in being around other cats. She especially loves her mom, Blanche, and is often found curled up cuddling with her. They can be adopted together, or Bijou must be adopted into a home with another friendly cat or kitten to help guide her. She just needs a patient, loving home that will give her the time and encouragement to build her confidence, and in return, you’ll get to watch a shy little soul blossom into something truly special!!!
