✨Taking Adoption Applications!✨

The Fall Crew is ready for a change in seasons… the kids are ready to find their people!

I don’t even know where to start with this bunch: they are all so similar, it’s actually so cute. Whether you’re looking for a cutie or two (or three - no one is judging here 😂) to cuddle up with to binge spooky movies, or want a goofy cat who will always keep you entertained (what better way to reduce your screen time than by watching the kids parkour around the place 😂), The Fall Crew is the best of both worlds!

They are a very affectionate bunch, who also love to play with their toys, scale the cat trees, or hang out with whoever walks through the door — it only takes a minute for them to realize that people are awesome! They enjoy Cat T.V., and making their own fun chasing each other around, or cuddling up together for a nap.
You’ll often find the Fall kids falling asleep next to the big windows, where there’s the perfect view of nature 💕

All the Fall kids are lovely with other cats and do well with dogs with respectful introductions. They have great litter habits, and do well for nail trims! Adoptions include spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip, and multiple rounds of flea/tick/earmite and deworming treatment. Send us a message, or email [email protected], for more info, or to apply to adopt!

Note: The kids will not go to their new homes until after Halloween.

Eden and Spook are looking for their furever homes!
You may remember Eden as the sick kitten living under the shed at the Knights of Columbus building! She’s doing wonderfully, and is ready to find her people.
Spook was dumped outside someone’s home, where abandoned cats and kittens are quite common, unfortunately.

The two of them don’t let their sad starts hold them back, though! Both Eden and Spook are about 4 months old, and ready for their next chapter! Their foster mom describes them as having similar personalities. The kids are so funny and playful, with a wonderful mix of affectionate! Spook loves to be carried around like a baby, or climb onto your shoulder for the best views 😂 Eden loves attention just as much as her foster brother, and leans right in for butt scratches, and also enjoys being carried around! Wherever you are, they won’t be far away, unless they’re off parkouring around the house, or chasing their toys 😂 they enjoy spring toys, wand toys, ball towers, fuzzy mice, and Eden loves to chill on her crinkle mat!

In the evening, these two are happy to settle in for a movie, or watch the game with you, and love to cuddle up to you when it’s time for bed ❤️ there will be no shortage of snuggles and entertainment with Eden or Spook in your life!

Eden and Spook both have great litter habits, do lovely for nail trims, and enjoy the company of other cats and dogs! Their adoption includes spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, nail trim, and multiple rounds of flea/tick/earmite and deworming treatment. Send us a message, or email [email protected], for more information on these cutie patooties 💕

Seraphina and her seven kiddos (yes, the poor gal had 7 🥲) were brought into care a hot minute ago! Seraphina has been fully vetted, and, though she’s a little nervous, her feeders will be keeping her indoors 🥳 I also just want to give them a huge shoutout for being such wonderful people, looking out for this family, and for being a much needed reminder that there are good people in the world 💕 Seraphina’s kids will be ready for their adoptive homes shortly; stay tuned, or send us a message, for more info 🥰

5-month-old Jazz is looking for her furever home! This absolute angel is ready to settle in. She absolutely loves her people; she is super affectionate, and loves to play! Jazz loves all kinds of toys, from ball towers, wand toys, springs, and fuzzy mice, she’s not hard to please. When she’s not soaking up all the love, or following you around (11/10 emotional support given 😂), you may find her watching the nature go by from one of her foster mom’s big windows, or curled up for a nap in her cat tree!
Jazz also enjoys cat T.V., and is honestly just a hoot to have around - she’s hilarious!

Jazz has lovely litter habits, does well for nail trims, and is good with cats and dogs!

🐾 Update: ADOPTED! 🐾

✨Taking Adoption Applications!✨

Sweet Poppi joined us a few months ago at almost 20 pounds. This little trooper sported a lion cut for a while due to being so severely matted when she came to us, and being unable to fully groom herself. I’m happy to report that the cute haircut is no longer needed!! Poppi has shed a lot of weight, thanks to the diligent efforts of her foster mom, and is officially ready to find her people!

Poppi is about 3 years old, and is the sweetest little lady. Although a lot of things are new to Poppi, and she may be shy at first, she loves to sleep cuddled up next to you at night, and is starting to feel comfortable playing with different toys!
Poppi also has phenomenal communication skills; whether she’s softly meowing to remind you about mealtimes, or groaning like a raptor when she’s feeling the vibes, there are no surprises with our girl Poppi! Perhaps her most expressive feature is her ears: I have never seen a cat use her ears to say so much 😂
Poppi is a sweet cat, with a lovely personality, and so much love to give.

She has great litter habits, and tolerates nail trims. Her adoption includes spay, age-appropriate vaccinations, and multiple rounds of flea/tick/earmite and deworming treatments. Feel free to send us a message to learn more about Poppi, and share to help us find Poppi’s family 💕

Some exciting news… Memphis (formerly “Gandalf”) was officially ADOPTED by his wonderful foster family!! 🥳💕 The thought of him leaving was just too much, and honestly, I can’t see him living a better life anywhere else. A huge thank you to his wonderful family for all they’ve done, and for choosing to adopt this scraggly boy ❤️

The Jean boys are still looking for their furever homes!! How have they had no interest?! They’re the sweetest boys!

Jean-Lou, Jean-Karl, and Jean-Jacques are two fun-loving boys ready to settle down. The boys are a lovely blend of playful and cuddly. They love to cuddle up with their foster moms while they work, or enjoy some T.V. together 😂 Whether they’re chasing their treats, watching the farm animals outside, or giving you lil nose boops, they are just a happy-go-lucky bunch; you’d never guess they had a sad start to this wild adventure called life.

The boys do lovely with other cats, and have great litter habits!
Their adoptions include neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip, and flea/tick/earmite and deworming treatment. Send us a message, or email [email protected], for more information!

🕊️ Rest Peacefully, Rose 🕊️

Unfortunately, Rose didn’t make it back home today. Her injuries were too extensive, and she had maggots eating her from the inside out. The difficult decision was made to humanely euthanize Rose. Thank you to those who donated to her end-of-life care.

This is the reality for kittens and cats born, or dumped, outside. Please consider TNR, vetting your own pets, encouraging your friends, family, and neighbours to do the same, and confronting people abandoning these innocent beings outdoors. I’m so tired of watching them suffer, and feeling as though their blood is on my hands. Although I know deep down that this goes way beyond me, and more people need to step-up, it’s honestly exhausting.
Rose is no longer suffering; her body and soul are at peace. 🤍

To honour Rose’s memory, our page will remain silent, and I will not respond to messages, for the next 24 hours.
