❤️🐱SLEEPY SATURDAY🐱❤️

Roick (Ro-ick) hopes everyone is having a relaxing Saturday. He certainly is! 😹

But, seriously, is there anything better than a sleeping cat/dog/baby? There’s just something that touches our hearts when we see them warm, safe and cared for!🥹

❤️🐈‍⬛BLACK CAT MYTHS & FACTS🐈‍⬛❤️

Did you know black cats typically stay at shelters the longest? Why?

🐾 Outdated myths that black cats are bad luck.
🐾 They can be harder to photograph.

However, many other countries consider black cats symbols of good luck and prosperity, believing they bring happiness and wealth.💰 Black cats are also thought to enhance love and romantic luck.❤️

As for finding it harder to take pictures of these adorable shadow panthers, did you know the same high melanin content that gives black cats their dark, glossy coats often results in bright orange or amber eyes? That means their eyes really pop in pictures! And, of course, their awesomeness shows up best against a light background.

The great news?
🐾Black cats have devoted purr-sonalities and tend to develop strong bonds with their owners.
🐾It’s also thought they carry a genetic trait tied to stronger immune systems. 🤔

So why don’t you check out the black kitties we currently have at our shelter to see if any of them would be the purr-fect companion for you?

💗🐱’DOUBLE THE LOVE’ ADOPTION🐱💗

Little Nikki and Tikki certainly didn’t last long at our shelter! 😹

We can’t say we’re surprised they were snatched up almost immediately by Eddine and Cordelle. After all, these two little munchkins are the whole package: playful, confident, adventurous and cuddly!

Eddine and Cordelle came for their ‘meet & greet’ with the sisters, fell in love and promptly took them home, where they adjusted to home life almost immediately.

Congratulations, Eddine, Cordelle, Nikki and Tikki! May you have many, many years of love and laughter.

🐶❤️🐱UNBELIEVABLE SUPPORT🐱❤️🐶

We’re not even sure how to express our thanks to Jarvis’ Refrigeration Ltd and Jason Atkinson Electrical for the work they did at our shelter this week!

Jarvis’ Refrigeration Ltd donated three (3) Haier Artic Heat Pumps, including their supply and installation, in loving memory of Bill Jarvis’ mother, Hilda Jarvis, a true lover of animals.

Jason Atkinson provided and installed the electrical components for the job.

What a difference this will make with cooling the shelter in the summer and heating it in the winter!

A humongous thank you goes out to Bill Jarvis, Keith Young and Jason Atkinson for both their hard work and their incredible generosity! Their support means the world to us and the animals we rescue!

💜 MEET MISTY 💜

DOB: ~ 1 year old

This silly little grey and white female is seeking her first furrrrever home! The question is who will be the extremely lucky family to scoop her up!? 🥹🐾

Misty came into our care as a very young kitten. She was alone, vulnerable and semi-feral! However she had an incredible turn around thanks to her foster mom. She was babied, held a lot and turned into quite the confident, social, cuddly kitty when she settles into a new environment. Being held, rubbed and kissed is one of her fav things now! 😀

But first and foremost.... she wants and NEEDS to run, play, flop, zoom, climb and be free! 😂 She is a very young, active and outgoing cat who needs a home who will love her shenanigans. 😼 She is vocal, chatting and chirping allllll the time, especially when it comes to FOOD! She is highly food motivated for treats and wet food and even sometimes climbs up our volunteers legs to get into the food cupboard. 🙈 She has a lot of character and will definitely light up her new home and will provide many years of love and laughter for her new family.

Misty gets along with other active cats (with proper introduction). A home with a laidback cat would not suit Misty's active personality. She has no experience with dogs or children at this time.

Misty is completely vetted and ready to go home. Her adoption fee covers her spay, FIV/FeLV testing (negative), yearly vaccinations and flea/worm treatment.

If you are interested in meeting and adopting Misty, please ✨APPLY✨ using the adoption application in the comments below to start the process.

💔😿ALONE IN MY ROOM😿💔

Lady wrote this poem in the hopes her new mom/dad/family reads it🤞:

“They say I’m purr-fect
But no one takes me home.

I love people
But I’m all alone!

I’m soft and cuddly,
Warm and sweet.

If I got adopted,
It sure would be neat.

If you make my favourite
dream come true,

I know to you
I’d be stuck like glue!😻”

Can we get some extra love sent over Rhett's way? 🥹🫶🏻 To know him is to love him. He's the most gentle little soul, looking up into your eyes for comfort and snuggles galore. ❤️

This adorable senior cat needs a retirement home!

🖤 MEET RHETT 🖤

DOB: August 13th, 2011

This sweet little senior is seeking some nice people to find comfort in again. Just look at that face and lil' paws. 🥹❤ He has melted all of our volunteers with his kindness and soft demeanor.

Due to no fault of his own, he was recently surrendered to us. But the shelter is not the place for an (almost) 15 year old cat! He is a little nervous here, but instantly seeks comfort from volunteers and wants to snuggle in close and be with you. ❤ He is seeking a retirement home where he can have a stress free life with soft blankets, quality time with a new family and lots of paté wet food!

Rhett's adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccination(s), flea control, a 6-week free trial of pet insurance and a health care examination.

If you are interested in meeting and adopting Rhett, please ✨APPLY✨ using the adoption application in the comments below.
