Story
Please visit ladybirdanimalsanctuary.com for more info and to apply to adopt. Katsura! AGE AT ARRIVAL: Approximately 10 years old ARRIVAL DATE: October 14th, 2023 GENDER: Spayed Female ADOPTION FEE: $200 Katsura ended up at Hamilton Animal Services as a stray and was not claimed. She is microchipped, but the chip was not traceable. This is your reminder to keep your pet’s microchip info up to date with the chip company! If you move or change your phone number without letting the company know, they won’t be able to contact you if your pet is lost or stolen. When Katsura arrived at the shelter, her ears were full of debris and they were very itchy. Her abdomen was distended, and her spine was prominent. Because of the overwhelming number of cats currently at Hamilton Animal Services, Katsura ended up on the euthanasia list because of her age and possible health issues. We were happy to get Katsura out of the shelter when HAS staff reached out to let us know her life was in danger. Thankfully, we had a foster home open up just at the right time, and they love fostering senior cats! Win win! Over the next few months, Katsura had many vet visits and was eventually diagnosed with calicivirus and mycoplasma it took a long time to get her healthy enough to be made available for adoption, but she’s ready! Because the possibility of future flare ups of the calicivirus and mycoplasma, Katsura should be the only cat in the home. Here’s a note from her foster family. “Katsura has to be the cuddliest cat that we have ever fostered. She is constantly on our laps, snuggling in our beds or can be found nestled in some blankets or clean laundry. She has a fantastic purr and will roll with you while sleeping- she doesn’t care if you roll over, she will just re-situate herself. Katsura has a fantastic purr and when she is really in a happy place, she definitely drools a little bit. Katsura is also a fantastic alarm cat. She knows exactly when it’s feeding time and will let you know when you are 30 seconds late with the cutest little me-ow. She adores her food and treats. Katsura contracted calicivirus and mycoplasma during her stay at animal services. These both will be a part of her life and she might have some flair ups during moments of stress and will have to go on antibiotics to make sure it doesn’t end with a sinus (and connecting ear) infection. Katsura’s ears were a mess when she first arrived at Ladybird and they tend to be a sensitive part for scratches so the we have learned to avoid scratching her ears unless Katsura lets them know its ok. Katsura has a fantastic warning growl before she swipes and now that her ears are cleaned up and not bothering her, those growls are few and far in between. Katsura is being fostered with a pupper who adores cats. She has no problem letting the dog know that she is the boss and to back off when he is getting too excited and it fine with ignoring him completely when just living together. We definitely have come across Katsura and the dog sleeping together on the couch. Although Katsura is estimated to be about 10 years old, she has bursts of energy and loves chasing toys around the house and attacking the feather duster. She also gets the cutest zoomies when it’s dinner time and will run around the house to get your attention that it’s time to eat.” Please adopt Katsura!

Story
Meet Cleo! 1 1/2 yrs Spayed/Female Rescued from a hoarding situation, and urgently in need of medical treatment and care, this stunning black beauty is shy to start, but warms quickly into a gentle natured and inquisitive young cat who loves petting and brushing, but does not like to be picked up or held. Cleo does well with other mild mannered cats, enjoying company, but also preferring a bit of her own space - she would make a nice fit for an older cat friend who is looking for a cat buddy who isnt into intense, active physical play, but a friend to relax and perhaps cuddle and nap with as they get to know one another and form a caring bond. Cleo was born with deformed toes, resulting in very unusual shape and growth of her toes and nails, as a result, she underwent surgery and had one front paw fully declawed to remove nails and toes that we fused together, leading to on-going pain and discomfort - Cleo will require on-going attentiveness to her nails and will need regular grooming and pedicures to keep her nails trimmed, healthy, and he feet happy and comfortable. A beautiful, well mannered and sweet natured young cat with so much love to offer a lucky new family, Cleo hopes that there is a kind and caring family out there who can show her what it is to be a spoiled, well loved and treasured Forever Cat! Cleo has been fully vetted and vaccinated, she has been spayed and is fully recovered from the surgery on her paw. An adoption fee of $200 applies. If you have room in YOUR home and heart for beautiful Cleo, please submit an adoption application today at http://priderescue.ca/

BUTTERFLY - DSH, female, spayed, black & white, DOB June 19/22 Butterfly is a wonderful companion and loves to be around people. She loves to nap on the cat tree after her play sessions.

She's loves to be petted and is very sweet. She loves to play and explore. She's discovered the joy of cat nip toys and LOVES them! She loves to run around trying to catch the laser pointer and it is so much fun watching her play. She's only 2 years old, spayed, microchipped and is up to date on her vaccines. She is very independent and is definitely a dominant cat. We feel she can be with a calm and friendly cat after a very slow and proper gradual introduction. October 10, 2024, 10:39 am

🖤ADOPT HARLEY DAVIDSON🖤 M | 2Y | Domestic short hair | Neutered | UTD on shots | Dog tested | Not cat tested | Not kid tested | IV/FeLV Negative | Litter trained | Playful | Chill | Fostered in Toronto Rev up your engines and get ready for the one and only Harley Davidson! Enjoy living life in the fast lane? Then look no further for the playful, social, feisty feline Harley Davidson. This sweet cat is looking for his forever humans to join him on his ride through life! HD adores your attention like the showstopper he is. He loves to play, especially with his scratch toy. But he also needs some time to recharge himself. He can be chill or mellow, but he can also be the Curious George who adventures through your home looking for snacks! With the love of food deep in his heart, it is advised that he be served small quantities of food at a time for his ingestion. While being fostered in downtown Toronto, Harley Davidson has no problem with the bustling city noises as he chills on his balcony. He is quick to befriend new people and introduces himself via cuddles. With his current doggie sibling, they will have a few sniffing sessions but, overall, HD is indifferent to canine companions. With the proper guidance, it is possible he can have a warmer relationship with future dog friends. He has not met human children yet, but we anticipate he'll be fond of them after proper introductions and if they respect his space, like any feline friend. Similar with cats, while not having the pleasure to meet one yet, with the proper human support, he may bond with other cats. Are you ready to come along on Harley Davidson's journey? Join his team and fall in love with the lovely, independent Harley Davidson! He's waiting for you to be a part of his adventure. Fill out the Bark at the Moon 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.

They follow each other around, groom one another, play together, and when all the fun is done, cozy up and sleep together. Due to their bond, they must be adopted as a pair. They would do best in a home where they are the center of attention or with other very confident pets. Hello, I'm Daniel. I'm a friendly and funny guy with a playful spirit that lights up any room. My best friend's name is Oliver, and I need to be adopted with him since we love to play and expend our energy together. I'm energetic, always ready for a game of chase-the-laser or a good romp with a toy mouse. But don't let my lively nature fool you, I'm a cuddle bug at heart. 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.
