My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello everyone! My name is Sunkist. Doesn’t that make you feel warm & fuzzy? I was named Sunkist by my foster mom cuz she said my nose looks like its been kissed by the sun - no idea what that means but I kind of like the name so I think I will keep it for now. I’m only two years old. I’m a little bit shy, but I’m better now that I’ve been inside with my foster family for awhile now. I love being groomed (I have my own special brush). It feels really nice when I get my daily brushes. I roll around on my back so mom can get all my favourite spots. I got to try lots of different food, but Salmon wet food is my all time favourite. I’m even discovering that toys are kind of neat too! It might take me a little bit of time to warm up to you, but when I do, just know that I LOVE belly rubs and chin scratches! I love to snuggle up next to my foster mom and fall asleep with my head on her lap. I will need a little time to warm up to new people, but I promise it will be worth it - I have a lot of love to give and hope there is a family out there that will give me a place to call my own. I have met a few cats along the way and think with proper introductions and a gentle cat I could be very happy. I have not met dogs so not sure I would like them. I also think that older kids would be best for me.

I can’t remember how long I was a stray but it felt like a really long time. I even had a few litters of kittens outside before a nice family started feeding me and providing me shelter. At first I was wary, I didn’t know why they were so nice and so I ate all the yummy food they put out for me but I wouldn’t let them get too close. Eventually my kittens all wandered off (I really hope someone nice helped them) and the weather started to get really cold and snowy. It got so cold I decided to go inside the house of the nice family that kept feeding me. They gave me a nice warm bed and lots of food. Unfortunately, they couldn’t keep me, so they called this rescue place and my foster mom came to get me and took me home right away. I had decided by then that I liked inside living, with warm beds and constant food. My foster mom took me to a vet (I didn’t like that too much) and got me vaccinated and spayed….boy do I feel better knowing I will never have to have any more kittens.

Now that I’m becoming less shy and really starting to get to enjoy being spoiled by people, I think I am ready to find my own forever home. I will be a little nervous at first and it will take me some time to trust new people, but I know it’s safe and I really want to live inside, in my own forever home, with my own forever family.

If you think you might like having me cuddle up next to you than come out and meet me at the adoption centre. I will be at PetSmart Etobicoke soon, or if you want, you can contact Ninth Life Cat Rescue at (905) 301-3532, email: info@ninthlifecatrescue.org or fill out an online application: http://ninthlifecatrescue.org/adopt/adoption-application/
