She has also received her core vaccines and rabies.

Lucy was the kitten to a Mother cat dropped off at my parents' farm. She was born in August 2019. We brought her home in Sept 2019. She loves boxes, and loves to look out the window. She cuddles with our big boy cat Lewis. My youngest daughter was 10 when we got Lucy. Lucy did great with her. She is very timid around the 2 dogs that have moved in along with my college aged daughter (in 2021). Before the dogs came, she was the perfect cat. She never messed outside the litter box, she let Lewis let me vocally know it was feeding time, she loved scritches on her head & loved sleeping on my youngest daughter's bed. But the dogs are too much for her & she is now very stressed and anxious. I have tried anxiety medicine & have tried a separate Cat room, but she is still reacting to the dogs. Lucy would be a loving companion for someone in a house with no dogs or puppies. She needs some time to know that no dogs will chase her slobber on her, and once content, will make a great friend.

Meet Lola. Lola is about 5-6 years young. She has lots of energy, is very friendly and LOVES her toys. Lola has lots to say and will tell her stories all day. While she is quite affectionate once she warms up, she is still a bit shy and will take time to adjust in a new home. A calmer home with patience would be best. Lola is tolerant of other female cats but does not like males. She had a female roomie for a few months, and they were best buddies. She is now living with 5 other female cats, and gets along great with them, but she would also be perfectly happy as an only child. Lola so deserves a loving patient forever home that will take good care of her. Lola has had a hard life. She was living outdoors on a rural property where she had litter after litter. As you can see from her pictures, she did lose an eye - this was due to chronic untreated infections. She has had dental work done including most of her teeth removed. While Lola is FIV positive, it does not slow her down – please refer below for more information on FIV. Lola has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. If you have room in your heart & your home for this deserving girl, please message us here or email heartstohomesfelines@gmail.com. The adoption fee is $200. FIV ----- FIV is a feline only virus that cannot be transmitted to people or other animal species. FIV is not passed between cats through casual contact like sharing food bowls or litter boxes or through playing, wrestling or licking/cleaning each other. FIV is passed between cats through a deep bite wound – deep enough to inject saliva into the bloodstream of the other cat – commonly occurring in outdoor cats who fight for territory. Purdue University’s College of Veterinary Medicine conducted a long-term study in cat shelters and found that FIV-positive cats can live with FIV-negative cats and not infect the FIV-negative cats during normal day-to-day interaction. Studies over the last 10 years have also shown that cats with FIV often live as long as otherwise healthy cats that do not have this virus.

Meet Arebus (male, black) & Trixie (female, calico)! Arebus & Trixie are about 3.5 years old. They were surrendered to our rescue due to allergies. Once they settle in, you will find Trixie to be more outgoing & social – she enjoys pets and snuggles but also has that Calico independent streak. Her partner in crime, Arebus, is shier and will take a little time to warm up but once he does, here is what his foster mother has to say ‘Arebus is ridiculously affectionate. He is my lap cat! Truly one of the most lovable cats I’ve met. He loves touch and stares into my soul when we’re cuddling. He just needs time!!!’ Both are gentle and playful and would be fine with another gentle cat. They are fine with the male cat in their foster home. They had a very difficult time with the hyper active puppy in their original home and consequently we do not recommend that they be in a home with dogs. Arebus’ original owners decided to declaw him in the front earlier this year because he was scratching the furniture. We do not support declawing for any reason and truly wish they had surrendered him to us before declawing him. It is shameful that any vet in Ontario would declaw a cat because he is scratching furniture. Arebus also had a urinary issue in 2022 that we believe was the result of poor diet & stress. We are firm believers that all cats should get wet food every day. A tablespoon of wet food twice a day and lots of fresh water goes a long way in helping to prevent urinary crystals caused by a dry kibble diet alone. They are both on a urinary diet now and Arebus is doing great. Arebus & Trixie have been neutered/spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. If you have room in your heart & your home for this gentle bonded pair, contact us here or email heartstohomesfelines@gmail.com. The adoption fee is $400 for the pair.

Meet Luna! Luna is about 8 months old now. She was found on the street at the beginning of winter begging for food. Luna needs a calmer home where she will be the only pet. She hides from the cats and the dog in her current foster home – she was likely bullied/chased as a kitten. Luna loves attention and likes her foster mother to sit with her. She will sleep on top of her. She will also let you know when she has had enough & is done with pets. Luna needs a loving home that will give her a little time to adjust. Luna has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped vet checked and tested negative for FIV/FELV. If you have room in your heart & your home for Luna contact us here or email heartstohomesfelines@gmail.com.
