This is why we need to spay and neuter our pets and help get stray cats in our neighbourhoods spayed and neutered, too.

Five kittens, only days old, were outside in the cold last night. Without someone noticing them and finding help, they might not have survived.

Getting this one litter and their mom to safety involved four rescuers, two homeowners, hours of work continuing past 4 a.m., and many more people helping online.

Thank you to the person who kept contacting organizations until they found help, and our previous adopter who saw the posts and drove over to search despite the slim odds. They helped locate the family within about 45 minutes, then stayed with us until nearly 1 a.m. to help catch mom.

Thank you to the neighbour who answered their knock, found the kittens beneath the bay window and carefully retrieved all five.

We’re grateful for the overnight help from Home at Last Rescue, which will be taking the family into care, and from an experienced trapper who volunteers with Annex Cat Rescue and brought a drop trap to help catch mom.

The family is now safe together, and veterinary assessments are underway. Thank you to everyone who shared posts and helped make this possible. ❤️

It took all of these people to help one family. We can’t count on every litter born outdoors being found in time.

With winter approaching, please reach out about stray cats visiting your yard. We may not always have room to take them into care, but we’re happy to help you navigate the next steps, from checking for an owner to exploring spay/neuter options and finding a rescue that may be able to help.

We know how overwhelming it can be to keep calling and hearing “no.” You’re welcome to contact us, even if you’re unsure where to start.

🙌💜 UPDATE: Mom and all 5 kittens are safe! Please read comments for more details on where they’ll be landing and how you can help.

🚨 ETOBICOKE: HELP US FIND MOM & HER KITTENS TONIGHT

📍 Benedict Road and surrounding yards, near Islington and The Kingsway

A litter of 5–6 young kittens was found in a backyard today, October 26. In the early evening, mom was seen carrying a kitten away and was reported moving her kittens toward neighbouring yards in the direction of Benedict Road. Their current location is unknown.

Mom is described as a small brown tabby wearing a purple collar. Do you recognize her?

❄️ A frost advisory is in effect for Toronto tonight. We’re very concerned about these young kittens spending the night outside.

Purrfect Paths Rescue is ready to help bring this family to safety, but we urgently need nearby residents’ help finding them.

Please quietly check your own yard, especially under bushes, decks, porches and covered patio furniture, and around sheds. Listen for tiny kitten cries and ask your neighbours to check their yards too.

Please don’t chase mom, move the kittens or disturb their hiding place. Only enter another property with permission.

📞 IF YOU SEE THEM, CALL OR TEXT PURRFECT PATHS RESCUE IMMEDIATELY: (437) 367-7877

Please share the exact location and time seen privately, rather than in the comments.

Even if you’re not nearby, please share with neighbours and local groups. 💛

Photos were taken today, October 26: the kittens this morning, and mom carrying one of them away in the early evening. Their current location is unknown.

We’re so proud of Nani and Lilo! 😻🥰

Last month their sister Stitch went to the most amazing forever home (adoption post coming soon!) and these brave girls have made amazing leaps and started not only exploring the house more but also posing for a family portrait. For context, they have been in our care for over a year and were too skittish to make an appearance in the main parts of the house for the entire time. We had to rely on the camera in their room to ensure they were healthy and well as they were too afraid to show themselves around humans.

We would love to give them a bit more time to learn that hoomans aren’t so bad before we officially start searching for their forever home. But we would definitely consider adoption applicants from patient families who are able to give them the time and space they require to blossom.

As of right now we don’t know if they will be as affectionate as their friendly sister Stitch is so we’d only consider applicants who are ready to love this pair from afar 💖

🏡 Marble & Midnight need a home ❤️

Marble and Midnight are a bonded sister and brother looking for a safe, loving place to land together.

Our greatest hope is to find their forever family so that their next move can truly be their last. But finding the right home for two cats can take time, and these two need placement soon, so we are also urgently looking for a foster home where they can settle while we continue their search.

Marble and Midnight have been together their entire lives. They’ve experienced a lot of unexpected change recently, and through all of it they’ve had one constant: each other. They will be placed together. ❤️

Marble is the quicker of the two to warm up. She loves affection, follows her people around, and takes mealtimes VERY seriously. She wants to be close to you, although she would prefer you keep all four paws firmly on the ground. 😂

Midnight is the more sensitive one and needs some time to feel safe after a change. Give him that time and you’ll discover an affectionate, playful boy who loves attention and has absolutely no respect for personal workspace. Your laptop keyboard is apparently a perfectly reasonable place to stand when you should be paying attention to him instead.

Whether their next home is forever or a safe stop on the way there, what these two need most right now is somewhere calm and patient where they can decompress, settle into a routine, and feel safe together.

If you can’t take them in yourself, please share. We’d love nothing more than to find the home that means these two never have to move again. ❤️

Marble & Midnight need us again ❤️

Last week, we shared the heartbreaking news that Marble and Midnight’s beloved mom had passed away unexpectedly in early August.

Their mom first met these two as their foster mom. It didn’t take long for her to realize they were already home, and she officially adopted them together on Mother’s Day. They adored her, and losing her turned their whole world upside down.

Since then, her family and friends have been doing everything they can to keep Marble and Midnight safe and together while figuring out what comes next.

Unfortunately, there has now been another unexpected setback. The basement apartment where they were staying flooded, and with repairs and contractors coming into the home, they’ve had to be moved again temporarily.

After everything these two have been through, what we want more than anything is for their next move to be their last. ❤️

Now that we’ve been connected with the people caring for Marble and Midnight, their next chapter is officially back in our hands, and we’re searching for the forever family who will help them feel safe and settled again.

Marble and Midnight are a bonded sister and brother who have been together their entire lives, and we will not separate them.

Marble is the quicker of the two to warm up. She loves affection, follows her people around, and takes mealtimes VERY seriously. She wants to be close to you, although she would prefer you keep all four of her paws firmly on the ground. 😂

Give him that time and you’ll discover an affectionate, playful boy who loves attention and has absolutely no respect for personal workspace. Your laptop keyboard is apparently a perfectly reasonable place to stand when you should be paying attention to him instead.

After so much upheaval, we’re looking for a calm, patient home that will give them time to decompress and understand that they’re safe again.

We would ideally love to find them a home without other pets, although the right home with one or two friendly, respectful cats may be considered. What matters most is finding them somewhere peaceful where these two can finally settle in and stay.

They have already lost their person and their home. We would really, really love to spare them a series of temporary stops before finding their next person.

As September begins, we’re reflecting on a very bittersweet month for Purrfect Paths. ❤️‍🩹

Early in August, we were utterly heartbroken by the sudden passing of Marble and Midnight’s amazing mom. 😢💔

August also brought us some incredibly happy news. Several much-loved cats who had been with our rescue for a long time finally found their forever homes. But in the wake of such a huge loss for Marble and Midnight, their family and friends, and everyone whose lives their mom touched, it didn’t feel right to immediately jump into celebrating publicly.

So, as we begin a new month, we want to make some room for the joy too. ❤️

Chester, Stitch, and Navi all found their forever homes in August! 🏡🎉 Seeing each of them begin this next chapter has given us some very big reasons to smile during an otherwise difficult month.

They’ll each get their own adoption update as they settle in, complete with their new names and hopefully some glimpses of them getting comfortable with their new families and feline siblings. 🥰

We haven’t yet had the opportunity to speak directly with the family currently caring for Marble and Midnight, but we’ve let their mom’s friends know that Purrfect Paths is here to support them however we can. We’ve also offered to cover vet visits and vaccinations for both cats to help make things a little easier for the family during an incredibly difficult time.

When we know more and have their family’s permission to share, we’ll update our community on how these two very special kitties are doing. ❤️🐾

Here’s to September bringing a little more joy, while we continue to hold space for those we lost and the lives they touched. ❤️

Sprout 🌱

After months of frequent posts and being shared in many different groups, Maple and Sprout have received ZERO applications.

While we don’t want to split pairs if we can avoid it, their foster has noticed that mom and daughter have been spending less time together recently, and both have built strong bonds with other cats in the household. So, we decided to try a temporary separation to see if they truly are still bonded.

Sprout, being the friendlier of the two and more likely to attract adoption applicants, moved to a temporary foster home along with one of her foster brothers to help ease the transition. It’s still early days, but she’s been cautiously opening up and doing really well in her new environment. Just as importantly, Maple hasn’t shown any signs of distress without Sprout around.

As we shared in their profiles, before Maple was trapped by our rescue, she had already been separated from a cat she was bonded with when another rescue trapped him after he was injured. Once we brought Maple into rescue, she formed a very strong bond with her daughter as Sprout grew older, and we didn’t want to put her through another separation if we didn’t have to.

But in recent months, Maple has also formed great bonds with other foster cats, including Lilo, Nani, and Pebble. Seeing those relationships grow made us feel like this was a good time to at least try a separation and see how they both did.

So far, we’re cautiously optimistic. ❤️

If you have a friendly feline and would be interested in welcoming the cautious but loving Sprout into your home, you can learn more about her and apply here:

https://purrfectpaths.com/cats/sprout

We strongly believe Sprout will do best in a home with another friendly cat, so for now we won’t be considering applications from homes with no other cats, unless you’d like to adopt a pair. 😊
