He loves his new life as an inside cat and is happiest when things around the home are calm. He also loves self-motivated playtime, and loves to bat plastic springs around at night.Rodney has a sensitive soul, and if spooked by his fosters, he doesn’t claw, bite or hiss - he just gives a sad little mew.

Jimmy is a handsome, black, long-haired boy. He is the other half of the Riff/Jimmy duo. Jimmy’s backstory is that both he and Riff were living outside of a colony in the north of Toronto and had been fed by a caring member of the public for their entire life. Their feeder was leaving Toronto and needed to be retrieved from their colony, as there was no replacement feeder for them to turn to.Jimmy is the more outgoing of the twosome; his morning routine is to approach his human while they are lying in bed so that he can have his head and back scratched, enticing them to get out of bed so that he can get breakfast. Like Riff, they both dislike being picked up. He and Riff will play with the other cats in their foster home, running back and forth playing a game of chase.Jimmy has idiopathic epilepsy, which means that he sometimes has seizures that have no identifiable cause. He has been evaluated by a neurologist and does not currently require medication to manage his condition, but he may in the future. Potential adopters will need to take Jimmy in for annual rechecks with a neurologist to monitor his condition. Jimmy has also had a surgery called an FHO (femoral head ostectomy). After his neurological episode, he was limping on his left back leg and was seen by a vet, where x-rays were performed. The X-rays showed advanced femoral head necrosis. Since the surgery, he is no longer limping and has a full range of motion in his back leg. Jimmy is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. He is FIV & feline leukemia negative. He has also had his teeth cleaned at the end of September 2024.Jimmy is meal-fed twice a day; he is accustomed to this method of feeding and will eat his entire meal when it is offered. He is larger than his brother Riff, but still has a healthy body weight. He says he looks bigger because of all the fluff. Jimmy is an adorable and lovely guy, and he loves his brother Riff greatly. They will make a great addition to a patient adopter and, with time, will learn to trust and bond with their human even more so.

Introducing Her Royal Highness, the Grand Duchess Anastasia. This fluffy former colony-cat reigns supreme over her indoor kingdom, spending countless hours sleeping or lounging while binge-watching `Bird TV` from her throne (the couch).While her subjects may long for a royal snuggle, Anastasia prefers to keep her distance - with an aversion to physical contact that would make even the most aloof monarch proud. While she does not bite, Anastasia does regularly hiss and may swat at you out of fear if she is startled upon approach. But her hisses serve as a reminder of her boundaries, telling all who dare to encroach upon her sovereignty that she is not to be trifled with. We admire a lady who speaks her mind.When not busy issuing decrees, Anastasia engages in charitable work, and is a patron of the bread bank - kneading away on her favourite sweater. She also enjoys climbing her cat tower to gaze upon her kingdom and royal subjects. In the middle of the night, Anastasia emerges from her royal chambers to chase balls and spring toys. She also finds joy in the humble cardboard scratcher, a simple scratching post, and cat dancers.Anastasia seeks an experienced adopter of royal caliber - one who appreciates her independent spirit and respects her boundaries. While she may not grant the gift of pets or cuddles, her willingness to share her space speaks volumes of her generous spirit. She will require much patience and understanding as she acclimates to her new domain and in time will grace her chosen companion with the privilege of her presence, basking in their company from a distance. For those with the wisdom to accept her on her own terms, Anastasia promises a companionship as unique and cherished as the crown jewels themselves.Anastasia has grown to love her foster family so she can be adopted into a home with a friendly resident cat. She especially likes the energy of younger cats. She would also be fine as the only cat in the home.Anastasia has a history of mild tartar and may need future dental cleanings. She is negative for FIV and FeLV. Like all ACR cats, Anastasia is up-to-date on vaccines and has been treated for fleas and parasites.
