Introducing – McCoy!

All the way from North Bay!
This amazing boy is playful, friendly and so very, very sweet!

McCoy came from a home with too many cats - and is looking for a home where his social nature can shine! He is good with other cats and he loves people. Ideally, he is looking for a home with other feline friends or possibly with his friend Malone.

DOB May 24/24 he is neutered and vaccinated.
His adoption fee is $325

Introducing Edward and Oscar!
These boys are also from the North Bay house, and just as sweet as their brothers...

These boys came from a home with too many cats. They are good with other cats and they love people - but they are very bonded. They share food, toys and usually sleep snuggled on top of one another in a big, squishy orange puddle.
DOB ~May 24/24 they are of course neutered and vaccinated.
​Normal adoption fee is $325 per cat - but they can be adopted for $600 for the pair to a great home that wants to keep them together

COURTESY POST but applications through CompassionForPaws.ca
Benny Bear is a beautiful 1 1/2 year old marble male Bengal with charisma, charm and character! He loves getting into his harness and taking you for a walk. He scopes out the trees and loves to climb the best ones.

He is brave and curious and likes to be active, but when he slows down, he enjoys a nap in his hammock with a view. He doesn't demand affection, but definitely shows his appreciation when you clean his litter or feed him. He is a great sleeper and usually spends the whole night in bed with his human and wakes you up 10 minutes before your alarm. He patiently takes a love mauling, purrs and drools when he's really happy, especially at bedtime.

Benny showed up at my home and after a search for his owners, I found out that he was intentionally abandoned in a park. That broke my heart, so I kept him and poured the love on him. His comfort, trust and confidence has grown in the time that he has been with me.

Benny is a great eater and not too picky. He loves treats and I feed him raw food twice a day and soft canned food twice a day. I put dry food and treats in a treat wheel and he has fun with that. He eats out of a time polar feeder when I am at work.

I think Benny Bear would be an amazing adventure cat. I think camping, hiking and possibly gentle water sports would be fun to try. As long as he builds his trust in you, I think he will be happy to go anywhere.
Benny would do well in a house where he is the only cat. He might do ok with older children and dogs, but I think it would be best in a quiet house. I would like to see him go to someone who has Bengal experience and who will love him and keep him active outdoors and get him into a better routine. A catio, frequent walks and supervised backyard time on a leash would do him wonders.

Presenting Jade and Spring!
DOB July 15/23
These sisters are lovely! Full of sillyness on occasion, they are mostly sweet, quiet and very well behaved.
Jade is the tortie girl and her sister Spring is a boldly marked tabby...Yes! They did actually come from the same mama!
Both cats are calm and non demanding. They don't ask for affection, but are happy when you offer a good scritch or gentle petting.
They are good with other cats and with gentle dogs. They have not been around children but would be fine with older kids. They are not the kind of kitties that you are going to pick up and carry around, but if you are working from home, they will stay in the office with you and keep you company.
I would prefer that they be adopted together but would consider separating them if you have another gentle cat in the home already

🩺🐾 Did You Know? Community Cats Can Be Affected by Several Common Viruses. 🐾❤️

Just like our indoor pets, community cats can be exposed to illnesses that impact their health. The most common viruses include:

🦠 FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) – Weakens the immune system and can lead to serious health issues.

🦠 FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) – Most often spread through deep bite wounds. Many FIV-positive cats can still live long, happy lives with proper care. 💙

🦠 Panleukopenia (Feline Distemper) – A highly contagious virus that is especially dangerous for kittens.

🤧 Feline Herpesvirus & Calicivirus – Common causes of upper respiratory infections, resulting in sneezing, eye discharge, and congestion.

💚 The best way to help protect community cats is through TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), vaccination, good nutrition, and early medical care when needed. Every cat that is spayed/neutered and vaccinated helps create a healthier colony for everyone.

🐱 Together, we can make a difference—one cat, one colony, and one community at a time. Thank you for caring about the cats who have no one else. ❤️🐾
