Hello my name is, Seinfeld!I wanted to give you a little bit of history about myself, I previously came from a home with other cats. My friends Costanza, Kramer, Elaine, and I were all roommates! I would very much enjoy a home with another cat to help me build confidence. I can be shy when in new environments or when meeting new people. I can be be timid or skittish with sudden movements or noises as well. I do however, LOVE treats! These are the key to my heart! With a little patience and time, I'll be eating out of your hand in no time!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: I could live with older, respectful children.OTHER CATS: Yes, I have lived with other cats before and could do so again with a gradual introduction!DOGS: I could potentially live with a calm cat-savvy dog after a proper introduction.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: I would love a family who can read my body language and know when I am feeling nervous.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-mediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?

Hello! My name is Chester!I am a friendly boy who can be nervous at first; once I get to know you and I feel at home, I am a big softie! When I'm feeling unsure, you may notice my tail swooshing and that's my communication to say I need a little break. Once I feel comfortable with you, I will rub against your legs, sit on your lap and tell you how much I love you with my little meows. My new family should know that I came to GHS with a history of IBD/enteritis - thankfully my friends at GHS worked very hard to assess me and developed a plan that has been very successful! I am on a special diet and a few supplement to keep me feeling happy and healthy. I am looking for a family that is committed to continuing my treatment plan so I can feel my best self!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Older, mature children may be okay; I would be best suited to a calm, mature homeOTHER CATS: I have lived with cats before and could be a good match after a gradual introduction.DOGS: Yes, with a respectful dog and gradual introduction.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: No, I would do best with someone who has previous cat experience.

Hi, my name is Izzy!The GHS family thinks I'm awesome because I can play "hard to get" but I am a big softy once you get to know me! Some of my favorite things include catnip, catnip, and more catnip; if you bring me a pinch or two, I'll show you my wild and goofy side! I am a low-key lady who likes to spend the rest of my day lounging when I'm not being loved on by the shelter staff. My new family should know that I have a progressive FeLV infection, which means I need to be an indoor cat. Feline leukemia (FeLV) is contagious to other cats, and therefore, would recommend consulting with your veterinarian on risks of adding me to a feline-friendly home. My new family should be prepared that I may start to show symptoms related to FeLV or take longer to recovery from ailments that wouldn't be a "big deal" to other cats. I can still live a very happy life in a quiet environment and with regular veterinary care, so the GHS recommends speaking to your vet prior to adopting me. I would make a wonderful addition to a calm and cuddly home - take me home today!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Teenagers or older respectful children please!OTHER CATS: Potentially, if they are also FELV + and with a slow and careful introductionDOGS: Potentially, with a calm, respectful dog.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: Potentially, if you have some cat experienceSOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-mediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?

Hello! My name is Basil!I'm a fun little guy who is learning that humans aren't so scary. They appear to be quite fun, they make toys move and they bring me tasty food. My siblings have been adopted and I'm the last one left because it's been taking me a bit longer to feel confident enough to move into my future adoptive home. I'm still timid and I'm looking for a home that has some cat experience and has a patient and gentle approach to make me feel comfortable. I would love to join a home that already has a confident and easy-going cat so I can have a buddy and also learn how to be a confident kitty from them!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: No, adult only would be best to set me up for success.OTHER CATS: Yes, I would prefer a home with another cat, particularly one who is confident and easy-going.DOGS: Yes, a friendly dog.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: No, I'm looking for someone that has cat experience.

Miss Jenkins is a domestic shorthair black female who is 9 months old. She is currently at PetSmart. She previously was in foster care with Oliver. Meet Miss Jenkins, a young feline with a heart full of affection. Her sweet and friendly demeanour is sure to win over anyone who crosses her path. Miss Jenkins is also playful and smart, making her an entertaining companion. Despite her independent streak, she enjoys seeking out attention and love from those around her. However, she prefers to keep her paws on the ground and isn't too fond of being picked up just yet. Miss Jenkins can be a little shy, but once she warms up to you, her love is endless. Miss Jenkins would make a wonderful addition to any home, offering both companionship and a unique personality. Her blend of playful energy and loving nature makes her the perfect pet to bring joy and happiness into your life. Miss Jenkins came to us with an eye infection and upon treatment, the vet has noted she does have one eye that is smaller than the other which just makes her extra cute. She has been treated for her eye infection and cleared by her veterinary team however, she does have a weepy eye at times, especially if she is feeling stressed. Hey eye should not cause any issues long term but we want to make sure her new family understands her special quirk. Miss Jenkins is spayed, microchipped and is fully vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies. She is FIV negative and FeLV negative. Adoption fee is $300. To apply, please submit an adoption application.

Story
Poptart is a black and white domestic shorthair male who is approximately 3 years old. He is currently in foster care. Poptart originated from an abusive home where he was found tethered to his litter box with a very short lead. His spirit is like no other, and he is the most loyal cat once he's bonded to his people. Poptart is the most fun loving and playful boy. Once he warms up to his new surroundings, he will come and curl up in your lap and ask for lots of head and ear scratches. He has a huge personality and lots of energy, you'll often find him zooming around when he is excited! He loves playing with other cats and would likely do well in a home with another cat where they can play to their heart's content. At the end of the day, Poptart loves nothing more than to snuggle up with his person. If you are looking to add a handsome, playful, affectionate cat to your family, Poptart is your boy! Poptart was previously adopted to a home where he was the only cat, and his adopter worked outside the home for 8 hours a day. After a month in his new home, it was very apparent that through no fault of his adopter or Poptart that he needed a home where someone was home the majority of the day. Poptart was returned into our care to find such a home. Poptart bonds fiercely to his person and sometimes will go on a "hunger strike " protest at his person leaving for too long. In these situations, he needs to be hand fed and given extra loving. His intense love is like no other. Before Poptart came into DRK's care, he had entropion surgery and is fully recovered.. Entropion surgery is when the eyelid rolls inward and the fur contacts the eye surface. His eyelid has been surgically corrected to prevent his eyelid touching the surface of his eye. As such, you will notice that Poptart's eye is slightly mishapen from this surgery, and his eye will weep from time to time and need a soft warm cloth to wipe away his eye crusties. Poptart is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and FIV negative and FeLV negative. His adoption fee is $300. To apply, please submit an adoption application.

Shrey is a domestic shorthair buff tabby male who is 2 years old. Shrey has had dental surgery removing the majority of his teeth but should require no further intervention other than yearly check-ups. Meet Shrey, a spirited and playful cat who loves nothing more than a good game of chase-the-laser. His friendly and curious nature means he's always up for an adventure, whether it's exploring new toys or sniffing out hidden treats. Shrey is also quite the comedian, often displaying his goofy side during playtime, much to the amusement of his human friends. But when the games are over, he transforms into a sweet, cuddly purr machine, always ready for a snuggle session. Shrey's fun-loving personality and affectionate nature make him the perfect companion for any family. His ability to bring laughter and love into any home is why Shrey should be your next pet. Shrey would likely do well with proper slow introductions to a new pet friend, dog or cat. Shrey is neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies.

Vidya is a domestic shorthair white and buff female who is approximately 2 years old. Meet Vidya, a charming feline with a heart full of sweetness and curiousity. Her friendly nature makes her a wobderful companion, ready to explore new corners and engage in playful antics. Yet, there's a touch of shyness that only adds to her charm. She's the kind of cat who'll quietly observe your world before stepping in, ensuring she understands you completely. Her playfulness is infectious, turning even the simplest of toys into an adventure. Adopting Vidya means welcoming a loving, curious, and playful spirit into your life, promising endless joy and companionship. Vidya came from a background with overcrowding and poor, inadequate diet and vetting. Due to this, she is showing early signs of dental disease. We want to caution potential adopters that these case will require proper oral hygiene and dental surgeries by a veterinarian in the future. We highly recommend having annual veterinarian visits and keeping her on a dental diet with water additives to maintain her oral health. Vidya is spayed, vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies, microchipped, and FIV negative and FeLV negative. Her adoption fee is $300. To apply, please submit an adoption application.

Daniel is a domestic shorthair black and white tuxedo male who is one year old. Daniel is currently in foster care with his best bud, Oliver.

I love nothing more than to curl up on a warm lap, purring contentedly as I receive all the love you're willing to give. I also love to sit in the window and watch the birds and squirrels outside. My favourite toys are springs, my ball maze and my squeaky mouse. I am not just a cat, I'm a companion, a friend, a source of laughter and comfort. I'm looking for a forever home with Oliver where we can share our joy and affection. Adopt us, and we promise to fill your life with laughter, love, and lots of purrs.
