Story
DOB: January 29, 2020 Please note, this is a posting through the Courtesy Adoption Program. Please contact the current owner directly for more details. Their details are below. Quinn requires a very experienced & extremely patient owner who does not have small children or any other pets in the home. Quinn is almost 3 years old and was saved from a home of abuse, which has left her with PTSD. She is very affectionate, sweet and cuddly. When we first met Quinn, she was anxious and easily triggered into extremely violent outbursts. As a result, she has been prescribed medication. The medication has been working well with managing her PTSD and she is easy to medicate. She takes 1 pill every 24 hours in the evening with her dinner and we have not had any further bouts of aggression since. She is currently being cared for in a home with other cats, which inhibits her ability to make more progress. She does not do well with other animals. It has taken us a few months to get to a point where Quinn fully trusts us. Once she does trust you, she turns into the most loving and loyal cat ever. She loves to snuggle on top of her humans with her face pressed right against yours, and will paw at you for more attention. She is also quite expressive and will announce everything she does with copious amounts of trills, chirrups, and chirps. Despite not being the most coordinated with general cat toys, she is incredibly agile with trapping her wand toys and the laser dot. Her favourite pastimes include; snuggling, lengthy brush sessions, laser dot hunting, and watching the world outside from the safety of her cat tree. Oh, and she has a thing about sniffing feet - it’s kinda like her version of a handshake. This is not a case for the faint of heart. If you are courageous, experienced, and looking to help save a life, having Quinn at her best will be an incredible reward. Quinn is participating in our Courtesy Adoption Posting Program and is not the property of Toronto Cat Rescue. Toronto Cat Rescue does not accept responsibility for any pet placements that result from this service. If you need more info or would like to adopt please contact Jordan at jordan.g.rinaldi@gmail.com Thank you!

Story
FIV/FeLV negative, microchipped, DOB July 19, 2018 Tuck is a super cuddly and loving little guy. He loves to play and run around the house, but at the end of the day he just wants to fall asleep cuddled up next to you! Tuck does get easily overstimulated and he struggles with aggressive tendencies at times. He tends to bite and scratch if he wants to be fed or to play, or if he starts to feel uncomfortable (such as if anyone touches his stomach). It can occasionally happen completely unprovoked, but it's never anything major, as he means no harm. That said, he should go to a forever home with an experienced, patient, and understanding adopter who doesn't have other cats or children. Once you take the time to understand him and learn about his needs, you will see a major change in Tuck - he just wants to feel safe and loved! He can be a very talkative cat when hungry or when he wants something. He will also cuddle up to you like a baby, leaning on your shoulder or chest, etc. It's absolutely adorable!

Story
Microchipped, DOB: July 31, 2021 Lilo is a sweet, beautiful, friendly and playful girl. She still has a lot of kitten energy and LOVES to play, especially with you! She is a smart, curious and adventurous investigator that can jump very high. A home that can be catified to include vertical space would be great for Lilo. Lilo is a chatty girl and will tell you about her day or her desires for food, play or attention. Lilo enjoys snuggling with her foster mom and will sometimes ask her for pets with little head bumps; the pets will be in moderation of course. Lilo is also a culinary connoisseur of sorts. In the past, she has foraged for food on counters, in sinks or garbages, or trying to get your food, likely due to food insecurity. With deliberate strategies, these behaviors have been greatly reduced. However, you would need to be aware and keep taking steps to prevent them. Lilo is great with her scratching posts and doesn't scratch furniture. She doesn't usually bite electrical cords, however she did chew her foster mom's headset cord- oops! She has recently shown some interest in the outside world, so you will need to be cautious when opening the door. Lilo has a strong personality and would be best suited for an experienced cat parent. Lilo will likely try to push boundaries, but is very receptive to training and has made amazing progress with her foster mom. She would do well with patient humans who can give her the love, attention and play she needs. Lilo will need a lot of enrichment and stimulation in her forever home. She would do best in a home where she is the only pet. Note from foster parent: Lilo is a special girl who will show her love for you in her own way. She has taught me to always give her the benefit of the doubt. If you’re able to commit to her, she’ll bring a lot of fun and joy to your life.

Story
Microchipped, DOB: April 28, 2017 I am a big, active, and affectionate kitty. I love to play and get attention. I’m not a lap cat but I will sleep by you on the couch or at your feet at night. I’m a little overweight so I’m on a diet, but my foster mom will tell you how to keep me on track. I need a family that can provide me with lots of toys and play and attention. I love affection and will rub up on you or gently paw at you for it. I can be prone to getting over-stimulated and nipping at your hand but my foster mom will tell you my signs and if you stop petting me when you see them I am way less likely to do this. My favourite pastime is stealing clothing or blankets and making biscuits on them. I am full of love and energy and want to be your bestest friend.

Story
LOCATED IN AYR, ON DOB 2-Apr-2022 Breed: Oriental Chinchilla (short hair) Microchipped Koi is a star here at Ayr Animal Hospital for many reasons, but she is famously known for her gorgeous, soft and silky coat, and for her sweet/sassy attitude! Koi greets clients and loves to be around the staff at the clinic. She does well with other cats/dogs and children that have been to the clinic adore her. She loves to run around chasing her bells and other toys. Koi is very curious and adventurous; she is always finding new spots for her afternoon naps and enjoys a cuddle! She has a very easy-going personality and would make a wonderful addition to many types of homes! We do advise her new family of one issue in particular... Koi came to us with a constipation problem that has never completely resolved. Periodically, Koi tries to have a bowel movement and can’t finish the process, requiring manual extraction of a piece of stool from her rectum. She requires medication and a special diet as well. Koi would benefit from additional testing to determine the exact cause of her problem but most of all, she needs a loving and caring environment where she can be her best self!

Story
Microchipped, DOB: June 20, 2013 Yoda (aka Yoda Bean aka Yodee) is a rambunctious, sweet “senior“ cat who has no teeth so makes him even more Yoda-like. He’s been in our home since July with our 2 resident cats and has gained weight and has adapted to his lack of chompers very well. He LOVES his wet food and ADORES his post med Temptations. (More on this later). We put “senior” in quotes because at times he has way more energy than our 2 resident cats (4 & 9). The vet has told us that Yoda is believed to be about 15 years old, but he acts like a 4 year old. Yoda enjoys a cozy warm spot to snooze but is never far away from the action. While he hasn’t connected perfectly with our 2 resident cats, he is very playful and wants to have fun. He runs with his crinkly balls, relishes in the laser pointer fun, and chases after the string on a stick. Recently he has discovered cat TV and peeps at the birds and jumped at the screen to try and catch a squirrel. He seems to want to be near cats but ours are not open to his overtures. Yoda was diagnosed with feline stomatitis which a painful condition that causes severe inflammation mouth and gums, resulting from an abnormal immune response. Most cats respond very well to full mouth extraction but some cats, like Yoda, require life-long care to suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation of the gingiva. The medication is not costly, however, best practise would be get bloodwork done every 6 months. The good news is that Yoda is the BEST cat to give meds to (and I’ve given lots of meds). When he finishes his breakfast or dinner, he sees the pill pusher and he jumps up on the back of the sofa to receive his meds without complaint. Because after he has his meds he knows it’s treat time!! He then loves to receive a handful of Temptations on his little mat. He’s a delightful guy. He likes brushies, playing with his toys, naps, cat TV, Temptations and being a part of the family. He has never had a litter accident. We would love to see him go to a family that will set him up with many cushy spots to sleep and lots of wet food and love. He likes to wrestle on the floor -on his terms- and sometimes gums your hand when he’s really riled up. He has been ok with toe nail trims. And while he has not yet become a lap cat, with the right house that could come. We would absolutely keep him if our 2 weren’t so closed minded to a third. 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 $200.
