Story
Microchipped, DOB: Dec. 9, 2014 Looking for a calm, affectionate companion who loves being near you without always being in your lap? Meet Mildred, a loving senior lady with a heart full of purrs and personality. Mildred is the definition of sweet and gentle. She’s a calm presence around the house, content to lounge nearby and keep you company until she gets a burst of energy and zooms through the room like a kitten again! Her playful side comes out with wand toys and laser pointers, and just 15 minutes of playtime a couple of times a day keeps her perfectly happy. Though she’s typically quiet, Mildred will speak up when she’s hungry or craving attention, using her charming meows to get her point across. She’s not a fan of being picked up, but she’ll always be nearby, offering head boops, rubbing up against you, and soaking up pets, especially on her ears, chin, and around her face. She loves being brushed and will even roll onto her back for a little belly fluff session. Mildred is on a small pill every other day for suspected asthma, and she takes it easily when hidden in a bit of wet food or Churu. She’s also working on slimming down with a weight management kibble, something she’s very motivated to stick with thanks to her love of food. She’s a rockstar at the vet, calm in the car and perfectly fine in her carrier. If you’re looking for a quiet, affectionate best friend who wants nothing more than to be near you, Mildred is ready to bring her sweet, soothing presence into your home. Thank you for welcoming a senior cat into your family - an adoption fee of your choice is appreciated, vs. our standard adult cat adoption fee of $250.

DOB: Sept 23, 2021 (3.5 years old) Please note, this is a posting through the Courtesy Adoption Program. Please contact the current owner directly for more details. Their details are below. Mars is an adorable little man who loves to snuggle (but only when he's sleepy) when he's at his most awake, he loves playing with his cat toys, climbing up nigh, and play fighting with his sister, Toby. We are looking for a calm home for Mars and Toby to call home, preferably with no dogs and no kids. Mars has a history with urinary blockages, but with the right diet, he is a very happy and healthy guy. Mars and Toby are very sweet kitties who would be a lovely addition to any family looking to make their space two furry friends richer. Mars and Toby are currently living in Bolton.

Story
DOB: Match 19, 2016 Fall in love with this irresistibly grumpy gentleman—Fenton! This distinguished senior prefers a quiet, low-key lifestyle and tends to keep to himself, but he’s always nearby, gently keeping tabs on his humans and their daily routines. Fenton is a master of comfort. Most days, you’ll find him curled up in his favorite cozy bed, though he makes a nightly appearance on the couch for his beloved stretch sessions (and maybe a little attention, on his terms). Despite his grumpy charm, Fenton is a friendly companion who enjoys affection and being part of the household. He’ll happily soak up pets and attention—but like any wise old cat, he knows his limits. When he’s had enough, he’s not shy about saying so, and may give a quick warning nip to let you know it’s time to give him some space. Don’t let his age fool you—Fenton still has a playful spark! He has a soft spot for the occasional laser toy chase, though he’s far too wise to be fooled by most other cat toys. He’d much rather spend his time basking in a sunny window, watching the world go by, and feeling a soft breeze through the screen ruffle his whiskers. This low maintenance gentleman has hyperthyroidism, but it’s easily managed with pills. Fenton would thrive in a calm, loving home where he can enjoy the simple pleasures in life and be appreciated for the charming, grumpy companion he is.

Story
DOB: October 12, 2017 (8 years old) Please note, this is a posting through the Courtesy Adoption Program. Please contact the current owner directly for more details. Their details are below. Ragdoll / Snowshoe mix, seal point with white markings. Weight 14 lbs. Piggy is a beautiful seal point girl with the most expressive deep blue eyes you've ever seen — and a personality even more beautiful than her face. She is the textbook definition of a velcro cat: she will follow you from room to room, curl up beside you while you work, and gently headbutt your face the moment you lie down to sleep. She talks to her humans constantly, "asking" for attention with the sweetest little meows, and she absolutely thrives on being noticed and loved. Piggy is incredibly easy to live with at home. She uses her litter box reliably, isn't picky about food, and is wonderfully tolerant of handling — nail trims are no fuss at all, and she can be picked up and cuddled by anyone. She is not shy with strangers and will happily greet new people who come to visit. Her health is excellent: aside from routine annual checkups, she has never had a single medical issue in her 8 years of life. She is slightly above her ideal weight at 14 lbs and would benefit from portion-controlled feeding. Piggy would do best as the only cat in a calm, indoor-only home. She does not enjoy the company of other cats and would much rather have her humans all to herself. She would be a wonderful companion for anyone who can give her a stable, loving home — someone settled, calm, and willing to be her devoted person. A few things her new family should know, in the spirit of full transparency: - Piggy finds car rides and travel very stressful. As long as her new home is permanent and she lives as a settled indoor cat, this is never an issue at home — she is calm, content, and completely at ease in her own space. - At the vet clinic, Piggy can become defensive and reactive due to the combination of car-ride stress and the smell of other cats in the clinic environment. We strongly recommend choosing a nearby vet clinic to minimize travel time, and pre-visit gabapentin (a safe, commonly prescribed anti-anxiety medication for cats) can make vet visits much smoother. This is very manageable.- None of this travel/vet anxiety appears at home. The moment she's back in her own space, she is the same gentle, affectionate, talkative little princess she always is. We are rehoming Piggy with great love and great care. Our future involves an international career that will require frequent travel, and we have come to accept that this lifestyle is not one Piggy can adapt to — she has shown us, clearly and repeatedly, that she needs stability to be happy. She is looking for her final, forever home: someone settled in Canada long-term, ideally a local Toronto resident, who can promise her she will never have to move again. If that sounds like you, she will reward you with years of the most loyal, affectionate companionship you could ask for. An adoption fee applies that covers all of Piggy's belongings, current food, litter, and complete vet records (please email for details). Serious inquiries only. Please include in your initial message: - A brief introduction about yourself and your household - Your living situation (house/apartment, owned/rented, how long you've lived there) - Whether you have any other pets (Piggy must be the only cat) - Your experience with cats, especially with handling vet visits - Why you are interested in adopting Piggy Piggy is participating in our Courtesy Adoption Posting Program and is not the property of Toronto Cat Rescue.

Story
DOB: Aug 17, 2018- FIV Positive Hobbes is a mature cuddle-loving cat looking for a calm, loving home. He has some anxiety and may take a little time to settle in, but once he feels safe, he’s incredibly affectionate, patient, and full of joy. Hobbes loves to play, wakes you up with the softest cuddles, turns into a little food goblin at mealtime, and enjoys curling up to watch TV with his person. He is a very charming fellow and his foster parents have loved having him in their home. Hobbes has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). FIV+ cats can live long happy lives with a good diet, low stress, indoor homes, loving families, and annual vet check-ins. They don't require medication and can live in a home with other non-FIV+ cats, as the virus is only passed to other cats by blood (i.e. deep bite marks) and can't be passed to dogs or humans. Please don't judge them based on a blood test! This handsome gentleman can’t wait to bring his joyful loving personality to his new forever humans.
