Chloe is part of the 5 we rescued from a farm - they were all sick 🤢and we had not 🚫 been told that until we arrived and at that point, we were not going to leave 5 sick kittens to die in a barn.
Oopsie Daisy, Chloe, Char, Gryphon and Pumpkin were all rescued. Pumpkin perished at the vet's office the same day we picked them all up and rushed them to Cottage Country Animal Clinic for immediate help. Thank you 🙏🏿 doctor Natalie Eves for your compassion and how hard you tried to save little Pumpkin.

🚨KITTEN UPDATE🚨

After a call for help when a momma cat and her kittens showed up at a remote area outside of Parry Sound, momma & 5 kittens have been secured and are safe in a temporary foster home.
Thank you 🙏🏿 Marla for immediately jumping in with your expertise and help with guiding thr home owner with live trapping them with BOND TRAPS.

Momma Gypsy, definitely belonged to someone. We don't know if she dumped pregnant in the bush or if she was dumped with her kittens in the bush.
She is a GOOD MOMMA. She has kept her babies safe and she has taught them not 🚫 to make a peep so she could keep them safe on the bush. Gypsy is EXHAUSTED.
The property owner has seen wolves, coyotes, fishers around his home the last few weeks.
She's one heck of a smart momma to have been able to keep her babies safe.
It's almost like she went to this home 🏡 for help.
We don't give animals enough credit.

We have names and genders :
Mom- Gypsy
3 Boys- tabbies
Oakley - grey tabby with white feet and underside
Forest- mackerel tabby
Aspen- classic brown tabby (bold stripes and swirls)
2 Girls - Calicos
Fern- very tiny (see side by side pic) perhaps last born?
Sage- Seems to be the Alpha and the largest of all the kittens

Thank you Marla ♥️ for spear heading this rescue mission of this family and temporarily taking them in.

🚨FOSTERS NEEDED 🚨

We will be requiring FOSTERS for the following:

☑️The mom cat & 5 kittens 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈that were captured over the weekend.

☑️A male 3 year old Rottweiler - we are looking for someone that has breed knowledge-he's a big guy and true to his breed traits.
more info and pictures to come soon.

☑️Thomas - the ginger cat 🐈 - there already is a post about him

☑️We've had interest in Maisy the cat that we posted and are fairly confident that she has a placement.

FOSTERING SAVES LIVES‼️
We are a foster based organization and we depend on fosters to be able to intake animals in need.
Without committed fosters, we are unable to help animals in need.

⚠️Our page and Instagram page will be a little quiet this week - I am going on a 6 day vacation (where I'm going doesn't have cell service) and one of our team that does admin and correspondence is also leaving for holidays on Wednesday.

🚨MOMMA CELEBRATION 🎉🚨

When a "momma" gets adopted before her babies do, that is call for a celebration....that rarely happens.
Usually all the babies are adopted and momma sits waiting and waiting in foster care.

Well this is not 🚫 the story for FREYJA.
Freyja's story is very much a Cinderella 🪄story.

Freyja is ADOPTED and is settling in at her forever family.
Thank you 🙏🏿 Mandi and family for adopting this girl and we just know that she's going to have her best life and best days ahead of her ♥️

Here is FREYJA'S story 👇with its many twists and turns to get where she is today.

We had 2 urgent pleas for help from 2 different individuals about two cats that were left behind when their owner was evicted from her home and left the cats behind.
Thankfully the landlord cared about the cats and was feeding them but they didn't know what to do with the cats.
Nancy & I went to the house to meet the cats. They both were lovely. Katy-Kat was shy and then there was a VERY PREGNANT Freyja that was "hi!!! Pet me pet me pet me !!!"

Katy-Kat was spayed & vaccinated 2 days later and her foster mom ended up adopting her and Kay-Kat is living her BEST life with Elaine and family❤️

Freyja went to the very capable and loving foster home 🏡 of Sara and family. Freyja had a HUGE beach ball belly and gave birth to 6 kittens a few days later. Freyja is such a good momma. From what we know, this was her 4th litter of kittens 😭
Thank you Sara for taking such good care of FREYJA and all her kittens - they are all getting neutered/spayed at the end of September- 4 of Freyja's litter are pre-adopted and 2 still are looking for their forever homes 🏡

We are happy to announce that there will be no more litters of kittens for Freyja and she just gets to "cat"
In her prior life, Freyja was an indoor /outdoor cat 🐈 thus the pregnancies and we were told that there was a period of 8 months where Freyja was missing but somehow made her way back home.
Freyja is NOW an indoor ONLY cat 🐈.

This is where the story gets absolutely lovely and we know it was meant to be where Freyja now is.
Mandi and her daughter saw our post about Freyja asking for a foster home 🏡 for her to have her kittens in. They decided that they'd like to do this but then saw the post that a foster home had already been found for Freyja.
So they watched ....and they waited for when Freyja would be available for adoption.
In the meantime they adopted another young female cat from another rescue with the hopes that Freyja would join when she was available.

And here we are!!!! Freyja has a new cat friend and a dog and a lovely family.

Tell us what you think ???
Is she enjoying her new life ???

🚨UPDATE - Sunday, August 31 at 2pm ⏰ momma has been secured AND kitten #5 that no one knew about. A live trap was left behind in hopes that if there are anymore "surprise kittens" left from the litter, that they will be caught too .
Stay tuned.......
*********************
🚨UPDATE - ALL 4 kittens have been live trapped and are safe in foster care.
Now to get momma 🤞🤞🤞🤞🙏🏿🙏🏿

🐈🐈AND IN KEEPING WITH THE CAT-URDAY THEME ....

This 👇is happening RIGHT NOW‼️

Our "BOND TRAPS" (named in memory after the cat of the donor of the traps) are being put to good use last night and today!!!

We were contacted after someone stated to see a mom cat 🐈 and her 4 kittens coming around their home 🏡. They are in the country outside of town.

The Bond Traps were set up last evening.
Two kittens🐈🐈 were caught through the night.
Thank you 🙏🏿 Marla for dropping everything today and going and picking them up.
Another phone call was phone 📱 received a few minutes ago and kitten #3 has been caught.
Marla is on her way out there again to pick up #3.
***1 more kitten to go plus MOM‼️

Please send some good vibes that we get the WHOLE FAMILY.
Babies are looking like they are 4 weeks old, so ya, they still need their mom and siblings.
We will keep y'all posted.

We thought we were done for the year. Apparently not 🚫
Spay and Neuter your cats!!!
Don't drop them off in the middle of nowhere. Odds of survival are not high in our area with all the wildlife and our frigid winters.
We need tougher laws that actually are imposed for those that abandon their animals.

🚨FOSTER HOME URGENTLY NEEDED 🚨

We are looking for a foster home, so that we can take Maisy into our care. The owner is overwhelmed and has been out of work for over a year now. They are losing their current living arrangements and don't know what the future holds or where they will be or how they will provide for Maisy.
*To be clear, when we were approached by them, Maisy had fleas & worms -we offered and supplied assistance to get Maisy flea treatment and deworming treatment. That was accepted and Maisy is good now.

About Maisy :
✅3 years old
✅Spayed
✅Needs vaccines updated - we will take care of this as soon as we have a foster home 🏠 secured
✅She has lived with other cats 🐈in the past
✅Good with small dogs 🐶
✅Good with children
✅ Affectionate and a total lap cat 🐈
✅Kitty litter trained and no "accidents" outside of her box
✅Maisy has always been an indoor only cat and will remain one

Please apply to foster Maisy:
https://forms.gle/xGJtLaSiZnSDAxfV9

This is an unfortunate situation for Maisy. Times are tough and we have offered assistance because we would rather keep an animal in existing home 🏠 if the owner loves and cares for the cat.
The owner does love Maisy very much.
The owner doesn't see a way out or anything improving with their personal situation and has asked for our help to find Maisy a new home.
So here we are...
Please help us find a new home 🏡 for Maisy.

🐈Happy Cat-urday from Joey🐈

Joey is our perfectly, imperfect Tail Pull boy.
In our eyes 👀, Joey is perfect.
He is still with our rescue after 2 years and that's ok ...and yes, he's available for adoption.
He needs his bladder expressed 2-3 times a day. This is a result of an injury that happened to him when he was only 6 weeks old. He was dropped off at a Quebec shelter already with the injury - could have been picked up by his tail, could have had his tail stepped on, we will never know how it happened. As a result of his injury, the nerve endings in his tail base were disconnected. Joey has a limp tail. He runs, plays just like any other cat would.
We saved him from euthanasia and he went to a wonderful foster Jessica who took him to many specialists in the Toronto area..
He then came to me at about at a year of age when Jessica was going on an extended vacation....
He has stayed with me ever since.

Joey is sweet, affectionate and loves to nuzzle his face into yours. While I'm expressing him he nuzzles in under my chin and he PURRS. It's like he knows it is helping him.
He starts each night when I get in bed, by sleeping on my chest and obnoxiously head bumping me and pawing me for pets. Then he moves over to his cat bed and sleeps there for the rest of the night. Joey knows his name and comes when he is called. He is a super cool 😎 cat. He walks well on a leash and harness.
We know he's a bit of extra work but he's SO WORTH IT ❤️

There are THOUSANDS of cats 🐈like Joey out there. I belong to group on Facebook that has over 10,000 members and the wealth of knowledge on the group from the admin is incredible. I have tapped into their knowledge multiple times over the past year.
Joey is not 🚫 hard to look after.
Once I had the expressing technique down, all was good.
Joey's quality of life is GOOD. It just takes a little extra effort.

I am going on my first holiday in 2 years starting Monday.
Thank you Justine Ilene for arranging to come into my home so that Joey feels comfortable. Justine will be popping by 2x a day to express Joey. I have other help from my family that are staying at my home while I'm gone.
Thank you to all involved to let me have this little break. I appreciate you all ❤️

🐈INTRODUCING PIP🩷🐈

PIP is one of 6 kittens that were born to Freyja (Freyja was left behind in a house by her owner when she was evicted-we worked with the landlord to get both Katy-Kat and a very pregnant Freyja safe and into our care)

Pip is getting SPAYED at the end of September - she will be 16 weeks old. She can go to her new home after she is healed.

Adoption fee is $300 - you are getting a spayed/vaccinated, dewormed/flea treated kitten.
