Persian kittens & cats in Orangeville, Ontario

DOB: February 3rd, 2014 Harry is a 12-year-old Himalayan with the most beautiful big blue eyes, a tiny pink nose, and whiskers that look like a little moustache. He has that classic Himalayan “serious” face that makes him look a bit unimpressed with everything… but it just makes him even more lovable. Even though he’s technically a senior, Harry is in really great shape. He’s friendly, active, and doesn’t mind being around people, often sitting on the back of the couch purring happily. When he came into foster, his coat was pretty matted, so he had to be shaved down. Right now he’s rocking a bit of a funny haircut, but his gorgeous fluffy coat will grow back. He’s happy to be picked up for a quick cuddle, but not for too long. Harry’s brother William is also available for adoption. They’ve always been together and seem happiest when they’re nearby each other. Thank you for welcoming a senior cat into your family - an adoption fee of your choice is appreciated, vs. our standard adult cat adoption fee of $250.

DOB: February 3rd, 2014 William is a 12-year-old Himalayan with the most amazing smooshed little face, big blue eyes, and incredibly curled whiskers that make him look like a tiny grumpy gentleman. He truly has a resting grumpy face, the kind of expression that looks like he’s quietly judging you at all times. It’s amazing. Personality wise, he’s a sweet, friendly, easygoing guy who just likes hanging out and being near his people. William came into foster with a matted coat and had to be shaved, so he’s currently looking a little goofy. His full Himalayan fluff will grow back soon. He’s in good shape for his age active, curious, and grumpy/affectionate. He’s fine being picked up for a quick cuddle, just not for long stretches. William also has his brother Harry available for adoption. They’ve always been together and seem happiest when they’re nearby each other.

When Jewel’s owner passed away, a friend of Jewel’s owner took her in. In the few weeks the friend had her, Jewel wasn’t using the litter box, so the friend brought her to Hamilton Animal Services. The friend did not give much information about Jewel, other than she was 11 years old and spayed. We wanted to give this sweet, purry persian a chance, so we took her into our care and she went straight to the vet for a health check, and much needed dental surgery. Blood and urine tests came back normal, but xrays showed that Jewel was suffering from arthritis. This was likely the cause of her litter box issues. She was started on pain medication to help her feel more comfortable. It was also noted that Jewel has a slight head tilt and a bit of a wobble when she walks. It doesn’t seem to trouble her, but she was put on medication to see if it would help. Jewel has been using her litter box perfectly since she came into our care. Her foster family provided her with a litter box made from a rubbermaid bin with the front wall cut down so she can walk right in. That, and the injectable pain meds for her arthritis seem to have done the trick! Jewel’s forever home should speak to their vet about continuing the injectable medication for arthritis so she can continue to live pain free. Though Jewel is less wobbly on her feet now, she still has moderate balance issues and doesn’t like to be up off the ground. To keep her safe, she’ll need a home where there are not a lot of stairs. Keeping her food and water on the floor as opposed to on a table would be best for her. A tray under her food helps to keep things a bit cleaner, as she can be a messy eater. She has a bowl of dry food to graze on whenever she likes, and she gets canned food every morning that she devours. She really likes canned food! A small ulcer on Jewel’s lip was biopsied, and it turned out to be an eosinophilic granuloma. The exact cause of EG is unknown, but research suggests that it is a form of allergic response. We don’t know what caused Jewel’s case, but the ulcer is now gone and she hasn’t had any reoccurrence. Jewel is a sweetheart of a cat. She loves to be petted and has a very happy purr. If you aren’t petting her enough, she will reach out and tap you to remind you. It’s the cutest thing! She isn’t thrilled about being picked up, and she prefers to sit beside you for pets as opposed to on your lap. She can be vocal when she wants attention. She likes to play with her mouse toy and will chase the string on a wand toy. She has a couple of favourite beds that her foster family would be happy to pass along to her new home – as well as her modified litter box. She is currently using Fresh 4 Life Pellet litter. Though she does like to be brushed, Jewel’s fur can quickly become matted and tangled, so hew new people will need to keep up with frequent brushing, and professional grooming when required. Other cats are not Jewel’s thing, so a home without them would be best. She has not been around dogs since coming into our care, so we don’t know how she would be with them. A quiet home where she can live out her days in peace and where she can get lots of pets would be ideal. Please adopt Jewel! Visit ladybirdanimalsanctuary.com to apply
