Update: Winston, Anna & Elsa have been adopted!

Can we ask a small favour? Please SHARE this post with your friends and family to help give NARA’s adoptable cats and kittens as much exposure as possible!

We have mama cats in care with young kittens, and even welcomed a brand-new litter this morning! To keep our intakes open, we need adoptions to continue, even during this busy holiday season. If you or someone you know is thinking about welcoming a new best friend, be sure to check out the kitty bios below. 🐾💙

If you’re already approved with NARA, please contact us by Messenger or email so we can put you in touch with the foster. To apply, visit our website and fill out an application form!

Meet the last three kittens from our Frozen litter — Anna, Elsa & Sven — this Saturday at Total Pet during NARA's Pet Photos with Santa event! ❄️🐾

If you’ve been hoping for a snuggly lap cat to welcome into your home and heart, these three couldn’t be more perfect. They’re incredibly affectionate, friendly, playful, and love being close to their people. Expect happy meows when you walk through the door — and the possibility of waking up with a kitten snoozing on top of your head.

If you’re already approved to adopt, please reach out to us on Facebook or by email and we’ll put you in touch with the foster. To apply, visit our website and complete the adoption form. The adoption fee is $200 for unfixed kittens and includes deworming, flea treatment, and their first vaccine. Applicants must have a current vet, and adoptions are processed in the order received.

Meet Maggie!

Maggie was part of the 15+ cats abandoned in Terrace, turned out on the streets to fend for themselves, until neighbours started feeding them all.

Maggie is an athletic, spayed young female. She’s playful, and will play with her people or with toys on her own. She’s been super clean with her litterbox, but a high sided one, or a tote is best as she’s very enthusiastic with her digging! She prefers kibble to wet food.

Maggie had a very serious internal parasite issue, which required hospitalization, but she is now fully recovered, spayed & vaccinated and ready for a loving home. She is a fierce hunter; no mouse is safe if Maggie is nearby! She’s sweet, affectionate, and purrs away when you pick her up, but is not really cuddly, she’s probably been knocked about a bit in her past as she can be ‘hand shy’ around her head and tail. She should be fine with other cats, with gentle introduction – but has not been tested with dogs and kids.

The adoption fee for cats fixed while in the care of NARA is $250. If you’ve already been approved to adopt through NARA, please reach out by Messenger or email so we can connect you with the foster. To apply, visit our website and complete an application form. Please note, all adopters must have a current vet and adoptions are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Maggie really deserves a loving home after such a difficult start to life – could you be a match? She’s located in a foster home just outside Terrace – visits prior to adoption are welcomed.

HAPPY NEWS! JazzPurr found her dream home today!!

Looking for a special home for our special Jazzy. Here's her story:

JazzPurr is a spayed adult female who has had a very traumatic couple of years. She’s looking for, ideally, a single senior who she can adore and who will adore her back.

She’s had a rough time with other cats and coyotes or foxes attacking her, plus a massive and stressful change within her family home. This combination has left her with a form of kitty PTSD which we have been working with and, we believe, we have found the solutions to her issues. After the attacks and subsequent painful injuries, she needs to be indoors only and an only pet. She is so affectionate and snuggly, her new person must love cats and expect to be slept on, or snuggled next to.

When left alone, she’ll seek out a ‘safe place’, which maybe under your bed or in a closet. She’ll head there if there’s a sudden loud noise, but soon comes out again and gets huge reassurance from her special person. She comes with her small cat tower, blankies, toys, food, bowls, grooming brushes, a litter tray & litter. There is no fee as a great home is our priority. Foster to adopt is an option as is a ‘forever foster’ scheme. She would welcome visitors to come and meet her prior to adoption. Located in a foster home just west of Terrace.

Renamed her JazzPurr (Was Jasper) aka Jazzy for her new life ♥️

Bottle Guy Barry has asked us to gently remind the wonderful folk who drop off their pop cans, water bottles, milk containers, wine bottles etc. to help us raise funds, that this is only for 'returnable' beverage containers & not household recycling, which can be taken to Do Your Part Recycling Co in Thornhill. Here’s a photo from Barry taken on Sunday.
We are so grateful for these donations which last year provided just over 57% of our total income.
