Story
Martha female –calico– date of birth March 8, 2018 – spayed, vaccines up to date-microchipped Martha is such a gentle and so affectionate girl as well as a bundle of joy. She loves to be petted and have her tummy rubbed. She especially enjoys her head, under chin rubs and curling up on a soft blanket or pillow beside you on the couch for a petting session. Martha loves sleeping with her foster mom therefore she requires a home that will allow her to sleep on the bed with her adopter otherwise she will cry at night. Martha doesn't mind being picked up and held. She was rescued from a greenhouse where she had been living until it became apparent that she was friendly. It was then decided that Martha could have a much better life indoors and she was brought into foster care. Martha has finally learned how to play and she is truly enjoying herself. She loves to bat random toys around or play in her cat cube and tunnel. Martha also enjoys interactive play with wand toys or chasing a laser light. You will find Marth sound asleep on the couch or curled up in her bed for her afternoon naps. She also enjoys watching the wildlife from the window in her cat tree. Martha is not fond of other cats therefore she would do best in a home as an only pet and where she would receive all the love and attention plus playtime for herself. She has a tendency to be a bit shy at first with new people therefore she would be best suited to a quiet home with a single adopter or a quiet couple. With time and patience her sweet personality will become apparent and she'll become a truly loving companion. Martha is looking for her forever home where she can play, have a soft blanket to rest her head and just be loved. Please give this sweet little girl a chance at the life she deserves and has been patiently waiting for all of her life. Martha is located in Kitchener If you are interested in adopting martha please contact her foster mom Linda - lsadows@outlook.com Her adoption fee is $250.00

Story
Trixie is a truly sweet girl. She will flop over for gentle tummy rubs as soon as she's petted. Trixi is fine with being picked up and held for short periods of time. She is a very happy girl and she lays around and purrs for no reason other than she is so contented. Trixie will lay beside you for some pets on the couch or she may curl up behind you if you happen to lay down. She loves to follow her foster mom around the house and she cries for attention and pets. Trixie was born outdoors and she showed up during the snow storm last Christmas with her mom and two siblings at a home. The home owner was kind enough to feed them and provide them with a heated winter shelter. Trixie was very timid when she was rescued at 5 months old but she has come a long way. She has since learned to play and she loves interactive play with wand toys, truly loves chasing a laser light or she can keep herself occupied by batting her toys around or wrestling and interacting with her siblings Toby and Tessa. Another of her favourite past time is just sitting in the window watching the birds and squirrels. Trixie is still shy at first with new people and places therefore she is looking for a patient adopter who will give her the time it takes for her to become comfortable. Once comfy in her new home you will see just how affectionate and playful this little girl really is. Trixie would do best with a single adopter or a quiet couple because of initial shyness. She has always had other cats around therefore she would love to be adopted with one of her siblings, Toby or Tessa she would do best with a young friendly cat in the home to play with and give her confidence. Trixie is at last looking for a home of her own where she can run., play, feel loved and just be a carefree kitten. If you are interested in adopting Trixie please contact her foster mom: Linda - lsadows@oulook.com If you are interested in adopting Trixie with one of her siblings there would be a reduced adoption fee for both.

Story
Toby was born outdoors. He showed up at a home in the country during the winter storm last Christmas with his mother and two siblings. The owners were kind enough to feed them and supplied a heated shelter to keep them warm. He was rescued at 5 months old and it has taken him time to become comfortable being indoors and with trusting people. Toby has come a long way and he has become a very sweet boy. He purrs loudly when being petted or he'll just lay around purring loudly to show his happiness and contentment. Toby can be picked up however he is not comfortable with being held. He knows when its time for his wet food and he'll sit and scream until its placed in front of him! (no patience this time of day!) It's actually quiet funny! He'll also cry when he wants you to pet him. Once Toby learned how to play he has not stopped. . He is very active and he absolutely loves chasing the laser light, interactive play with wand toys, or you will find him running around the house chasing or wrestling with one of his siblings, Trixie or Tessa. When he does have a bit of downtime you will find him sitting in the window watching the birds and squirrels. Toby would love to be adopted with one of his siblings, Trixie or Tessa otherwise he would do best with another young active cat in the home to play with and help him settle in. Toby is still shy at first with new people therefore he is looking a patient adopter and one who is willing to give him the time it takes for him to settle in. Once he is truly comfortable you will see just how sweet and playful this boy really is. Toby would do best with a single adopter or a quiet couple. he will not do well in a busy home or with children because of his initial shyness. Toby is now ready for his forever home where he can just be a carefree kitten. If you are interested in adopting Toby please contact his foster mom: Linda-lshadows@outlook.com Toby's adoption fee is $250..00, however the adoption fee would be reduced if you were interested in adopting him with one of his siblings.

Story
Hi my name is Prince! I am a sweet and loving you man that can't wait to warm your heart and you lap. I love to snuggle right up on you and will refuse to get off, unless there is food available. I am told I play a little rough, so I would love a cat savvy home with no young children, and definitely no other cats please!A note from his foster family: Prince is such a sweet boy. He absolutely loves to cuddle & will spend all day on my husband's lap while he works from home. He loves attention and is fine with being picked up and having his belly rubbed. He is so playful and loves the cat springs. He plays well with my other two cats and is cautious but calm around my large dog. One funny thing he loves to do is drink the tap water, he will sit in the bathroom waiting for you to turn it on for him!***NOTE*** Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets. They will be experiencing a new environment and meeting new people, which means they may not exhibit the same behaviours they did in their foster videos or while in foster care.If you are viewing this animal through 24Petconnect by PetPlace or Adopt-a-pet, please visit our website https://kwsphumane.ca/adopt/process to submit an application.
