Story
Singer is a big boy with a big personality. Although his chronically fierce facial expression might make him look mean, he is very friendly and loves people. He will demand pets when you come home from work and snuggle against you in bed the whole night long. In the evenings, he will give you big side swipes to ask permission to settle into your lap. In the mornings, he’ll ask you to hold your hands out so he can nuzzle them. This guy is a warm, fuzzy cuddle monster who needs lots of attention. Despite his sweet and loveable core, Singer can be a bit of a rascal. Growing up and surviving on the streets has made him very willful and assertive. He needs active play every day to get his energy out. He has a habit of playing aggressively with people, sometimes jumping up at legs and hands. Although we have come a long way in reducing this undesirable behaviour, Singer wouldn't be suitable for a home with children or other animals. He needs a person with lots of cat experience who can give him positive reinforcement, strong boundaries, and unconditional forgiveness and love.

Story
Raven is a chill lady. She likes to nap and roll around while you pet her. She came to us from a large group of outdoor cats, so had no experience with humans. She has blossomed and now loves to rub against your legs, lay next to you, and get lots of pets. If you leave the bedroom door open, you make wake up with her sleeping right on top of you! Raven will sometimes get involved in playing with her sister, Shadow, wrestling, and chasing wands and balls, but prefers to sit in the window and watch the world go by. She loves her foster's resident cat and spends time following him around and sitting by his side. Raven may be nervous to begin with, but she really likes her humans and the treats they bring. If there are children in the home, they should be older. Must adopt with Shadow.

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Steel — aka The Big Lebowski — but I happily respond to my nickname, Titi. I’m a sociable, easygoing, and affectionate big guy who truly enjoys being part of daily life with my people. I’ll greet visitors at the door, then quietly observe what’s going on, always happy to be nearby. At bedtime, I look forward to sharing your bed, showing my love with a few gentle biscuits before settling in and sleeping peacefully through the night. Because I rest so well, I’m able to stay active with you during the day too — with a few well-timed naps in between, of course. I enjoy short, fun play sessions, especially before bedtime. Wand toys, charging through my cat tunnel, batting around balls or toy mice, and even chasing your moving sweeper are all on my list of favourite activities! I do love my food, but I need a family who will help me keep my weight in check so I can stay healthy and happy. I’m looking for my forever family to share lots of quality time, gentle play, and companionship — keeping each other active, entertained, and loved.

Story
Pippy is an incredibly affectionate cat who loves pets and back rubs. When she gets pet, she will arch her back like a professional contortionist and purr for as long as you pet her. She may even jump into your lap and kiss your nose. The only things Pippy doesn't like are being picked up and having her feet touched. At the same time, she can be very shy and jumpy, but warms up to people very quickly, especially if you have food. Pippy would do best in a quiet home with no other pets and older children only. She can't wait to meet you!

Story
This handsome boy might start off a little shy, but he warms up quickly and shows his true colors. He's a bundle of endless energy! Orio is an acrobat at heart and loves nothing more than chasing a wand toy with impressive flips and leaps. He’ll need a home where playtime is a priority because this guy thrives on activity. Orio is also a talker - he’ll happily let you know what’s on his mind. And when it comes to food? He’s a total foodie who never misses a meal! After he’s had his fun and filled his belly, Orio turns into a sweet lap cat, curling up for snuggles once he’s finally tired out. He’s deeply bonded with his sister, Cookie, who balances his lively personality with her gentle nature. Orio doesn’t like to be far from her, so they’re looking for a home together where they can share their love and adventures. Must adopt with Cookie.

Story
This sweet little girl may start off a bit shy, but don’t let that fool you. Once she learns to trust you, she’ll melt your heart. She’ll follow you around the house like your tiny shadow and ask for gentle cuddles. Her favorite spot? Curled up on your lap for a cozy nap. What makes her happiest, though, is spending time with her beloved brother, Orio. They’re the perfect pair; her calm, loving nature balances his outgoing personality beautifully. She’s a true hummingbird enthusiast, often perched by the window, chattering away as they visit the feeder. And the moment you scoop her up, she’ll reward you with a soft, steady purr. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who thrives with her brother by her side, Cookie is ready to bring joy to your home. Must adopt with Orio.
