Hoping to connect with cat loving people on Walker Ave, Orillia. We are seeking a colony caretaker(provides food, water and some shelter) for cats that need to be returned.

It has been observed multiple pet cats have snuck out the doors in the last few weeks. There is nothing worse than not having your baby come home.

If I may make a suggestion to all you animal loving people. Through the summer months when your kitties are adamant to get outside I highly recommend airtags or the Samsung equivalent and put a breakaway collar on ALL your indoor cats. Or if you live in suburban areas or the country to check out Tractive trackers. This is NOT a promotional post, just a highly recommended product we use for our own household.

Having these tracking capabilities on your cats makes finding them 100 times easier and quicker.

Airtags & the Samsung equivalent work excellent in town/ cities. They use cell phones and other airtags for communication. Whereas in the country they aren't ideal because phones and other tags are too far apart.

Tractive is deadly accurate in the bush; our phones hardly work but Tractive provides our kids location within 1foot of actual location.

Please consider/prepare for these situations, just like you would a fire. Having this sort of equipment will surely give peace and a quick reunion.

We can move mountains when we work together!! Today is a day of mountains being moved.

TWENTY kittens and FOUR Nursing Mom's were collected from a Cat Invasion. Not a hoarding situation, not a true colony situation, a slu of serious medical issues causing extended periods of time where the hardly adults were taking care if the house and cats infiltrated to caring hearts and BOOM Cat EXPLOSION! Approximately 40+ cats from this situation.

So TWO lessons to be talked about
1) SPAY/ NEUTER YOUR ANIMALS!! EVEN IF YOU NEVER LET THEM OUT!!
2) Working together is how we overcome problems and create blossoming relationships. Be kind to one another, help one another.

A HUGE thank you to Upper Credit Humane Society for being able to accept ALL 20 kittens and 4 Momma's you guys are FANTASTIC!!

Also, much love and shout out to the fabulous Comfie Cat Shelter, it has been a pleasure working alongside your rescue! So blessed to have a relationship with you and to have accomplished the incredible feat we did today.

Note: unfortunately it was unexpected that the some of the kittens weren't ready to be weaned so 5 carriers just squeaked by getting everyone out. It is not ideal or recommended to put that many kittens in one big carrier due to over heating risk. Thank you to my vehicle with great AC to get us back safe and cool.

We've had quite the day.
Thank you Muskoka Bay Animal Clinic for getting our big Goober in so quickly.

Let Zeus's new position be a lesson for all. Wildlife is on the move and while GPS fencing keeps the loved ones on our property, it does NOT keep wildlife out.

Being a small rescue with the heart of Golden Tempo & Secretariat we have surpassed helping 510 cats in 17 months. We normally look forward but sometimes the numbers are jolting to our systems.

We have the utmost respect for our friends in other rescues & shelters. The saying power in numbers is exactly what it takes to help so many kitties.

We by fluke just recently detained a cat that had been maliciously relocated by a neighbour, to a busy area likely for sadistic reasons returned to his owner and got them on board to fix the old boy.

We have seen outrageously high numbers get into shelter to be adopted as pets, what a HUGE success!!

We have helped some significantly injured animals onto better days or peaceful passings.

We have had some wonderful barn placements and our networking is growing each and every single day.

We have met some of the kindest, hard working people we've ever been privileged to meet.

I have not done the math of the amount of kittens we have now prevented from being born on the streets, but this year's quarterly numbers are in. Right now we average 1.25 cats a day we bring in and figure out.

Looking forward we aim to change the world for as many cats as possible, if you've never saved & changed the life of a feral cat, you may never understand the quiet gratitude, but for us the evil we see is what propels us to keep looking forward so we hopefully see less animals in horrible situations.

Thank you Comfie Cat Shelter for opening your doors to sooo many kitties.

Thank you Furever Homes - Cat Rescue/ TNR program for always being there for us.

Thank you Lynne Fadden for being a super hero, your kindness will never be forgotten, proud to be able to walk in similar shoes as you.

Thank you Anna Bifolchi for all your hard work with the Godderich colony, you deserve a metal for your marathon😘

Lastly, thank you to all the people making the call to get help getting your kitties snipped!! It starts with you🩵

Sensitive topic; it's important that until you've walked a day in rescue/shelter life and fully understand just what reality is, it's like our parents taught us, if you don't have something nice to say than don't say anything at all. Rather put those words into action in whatever manner you can to take the overpopulation crisis into some sort of positive outcome. We are a firm NO JUDGMENT rescue and ask only for respect and kindness to be given to those walking in our shoes, not just in our rescue but EVERY rescue.

Drowning/shooting cats or kittens is a much more barbaric way to deal with the situation than a pregnancy spay, leaving cats unaltered creates a snowball of grim possibilities for the cats AND KITTENS, it's the REALITY of the world and why each and every one of us get up all through the day & night to man traps, drive MILLIONS of miles to fulfill the logistics of what rescue takes, spend as much time as we can to figure out the best plan for each and every cat/kitten.

Big HUGS to every vet, vet tech and team member at high volume spay/neuter clinics. We FULLY support you and will protect your mental health any chance we can.

We may not all agree on this very sensitive topic, but please be respectful. In other words, if you don’t have anything nice to say . . . scroll on.

We want to express how much gratitude we have for the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society Barrie and District Animal Centre Spay/ Neuter vet clinic. They have helped with us with countless spay/ neuters, vet exams, vaccinations and peaceful endings.

Today we said goodbye to Cocoa a Siamese cat we took in, in January. She was battling what is believed to be cancer. A community cat that touched the lives of a lot of Baysvillians. She wouldn't have made it through the winter in her fragile state. She found comfort in the warmth of our bathroom, didn't have to struggle for food or water. She was loved, even though she didn't want human interaction.

Her decline was imminent and the decision was made unanimously between community members and family members.

Her passing was the kind of peace one would hope for. Easy, calm & with love.

The people who make up this clinic are always smiling when we come in, always willing to help, always treating us and more importantly our kitties with love & respect. We couldn't & wouldn't be here without this fundamental clinic.

I was fighting back tears, trying to be strong knowing clinic team members have to go through so much day in and day out. As the tears rolled down my face smiles and kindness was on clinic team members faces. I couldn't have asked for a more comfortable, peaceful and loving ending.

For all that you do, it is graciously noticed and appreciated. You guys are hero's & we are blessed to be able to work with your clinic helping as many kitties as we can🩵

Today we embrace the hard days that were met with many happy days before.

Sweet Kirby came to us last year, near death, it's actually a miracle she survived months without a real meal, water and shelter in the blistering heat of the summer all at the ripe age of 18+

An emergency trip to Huronia, followed by an emergency appointment at the wonderful North Simcoe Veterinary Services weeks of sub q fluids, subtleties of care and love. Kirby didn't give up, she knew there was a bit more to life for her.

Once she stabilized we saw her off to her adopted home with none other than Cathie Davidson Goslar who is a HUGE hero of ours. She is a one in a million kind of lady & we are very thankful & grateful we are both neighbour's and have her undying support to our rescue.

Kirby had almost a year of unconditional love and care with the Goslar family. Cathie's hubby was often relaxing with Kirby and their beloved Chihuahua in the beautiful cottage setting of south Muskoka.

Unfortunately 18 years is a very long extended life for a kitty and after being lost/uncared for, for months her body finally stopped ticking the way it used to. While I write this in tears, Kirby you were loved by many! You gave us all strength in your story.

Kirby crossed the rainbow bridge on Monday and is now back running and playing like she once did, before we met, but I believe she is an angel looking down on the Goslar family, protecting them in the heavenly way.

RIP sweet Kirby💜
