Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This sweet, 3-year-old, former momma is very inquisitive and sweet. We’re confident that this sweet girl was previously a house cat, but we think may have had some unfortunate experiences with people in the past. She may take time to adjust to meeting her new family, but once she does, she loves attention. She is very inquisitive about life, and loves watching TV! She is great with other cats as she has offered no issues with her foster’s three cats. She will make an amazing companion to an ideally slower household, or potentially a family, who is understanding of her body language and accepts that she may need time to fully trust them. Her foster is happy to teach Shiloh’s new family her body language cues to set everyone up for success.. Shiloh is available for adoption through Grand River All Breed Rescue. The adoption donation is $325 per cat. All of our cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application.

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, my name is Cali (solid tabby), I am very shy at first but once I get to know you, I am very affectionate. I am the only princess of the family and am bonded to my brother Joey, we are inseparable. We have a night/morning ritual and I thrive off of routine. Where there is one you will always find the other. I am a natural hunter and I like to chase feet, play with toy springs and stuffed mice. When my favourite humans come near me I greet them with my purr, I’m just happy to be near them. Like my brothers I counter surf, I’m very smart, a fast learner but I love heights and you’ll often find me sleeping on the highest surface. I am being raised with two goldens, two older kittens, and my two brothers Joey and Socks. Hi, my name is Joey (tabby & white), I am very shy and take my time getting to know new humans. When I arrived at my foster home I would always run away from attention, but now I sit still and allow them to pamper me with affection. I am bonded with my sister Cali, she is the one that showed me that touch was safe. I am spunky and love to sprint around and play, my favourite game is to chase my brother and sister up and down the hallways. I need a companion who doesn’t mind my company, I will leave toys at your feet in hopes you will throw them for me. My favourite human works from home so I get a lot of attention and play. I love my scratching post and I’ve never clawed at the furniture. Cali and Joey are available for adoption through Grand River All Breed Rescue. The adoption donation is $325 per cat. All of our cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application.

Dahlia

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 5 yrs

Cambridge, ON

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Dahlia is the mama of the four kittens. She is approximately 1 to 2 years old. She came terrified, unsure how to behave around people but that changed when she learned she was getting the help she needed and her sweet personality bloomed. She has a lovely voice ranging from soft meows, chirps, and trills to let you know she is very happy. Dahlia yearns for attention and loves to weave around your legs, asking for pets on her head and along her back. She is most content when all four feet are on a solid surface. Although Dahlia is not fond of being held or snuggled, she may come to accept in the future that these things are nice too! Dahlia is very good at using her litter box! In fact, she does such a good job at covering her mess that it is recommended that she have a large or covered litter box as she tends to kick litter further than she needs to. Dahlia usually minds her own business and is happy to sleep in a quiet corner away from other pets, so should there be other pets in her new home, they should be introduced slowly and with absolute patience. Dahlia’s kittens are also available for adoption: Teddy, Linus, Percy, and Molly. Each kitten is available for adoption through Grand River All Breed Rescue. The adoption donation is $325 per cat. All of our cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application. You can also reach us by email at GrandRiverRescue@hotmail.com.

Story

Poppy is approximately 5.5 months old (as of January 1, 2024). She came into rescue at approximately 3 weeks of age when she was found as a stray in Hamilton. She was a tiny little girl with a severe upper respiratory infection and a large ulcer in her left eye. We are happy to report that she is doing well now and the ulcer in her eye is almost completely gone and her infection has resolved. Poppy loves everyone and everything. From the first moment she came into her foster home she was not afraid of anyone, even the large resident dog. She is especially fond of sleeping on her foster mom’s laptop. She has met the other fellow foster cats and the resident cat and she gets along and tries to play with everyone. She will be suitable for any family although she would do best with a family who has a respectful dog or playful kitty. If you think Poppy would be a nice addition to your family, please go to our website and fill out an adoption application. Poppy is available for adoption through Grand River All Breed Rescue. The adoption donation is $325 per cat. All of our cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application.
