My personality

My story

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

DOB: September 4th, 2016

Ms. Pamela is a very special girl, and not only because she is a very rare orange female!

Pamela took some time to settle and trust her foster caregiver enough to not growl or swipe when she passed by. Pamela was abandoned by her family who moved away and left her outside, so her trust issues seem understandable.

But now Pamela is comfortable with her new space and enjoys being petted from her shoulders up. She is quite an affectionate and attentive cat with her foster mom, and she is opening up more every day. She comes running to say hello when her foster people appear after some absence. Pamela also enjoys sitting at the window to watch what's going on outside.

Pamela is a very polite bed-sleeper and can almost always be found perched on the furthest corner of the bed throughout the night - so no danger of being woken up or bugged by Pamela. Pam may sometimes swipe at her foster mom's feet if she passes by too close or too quickly. This seems to be triggering for her but is not all the time and seems to be improving as she gains trust.

Pamela does not seem to like the other cats in the foster home at all. She will growl as they approach and if they don't get in her face, that's as far as it goes. If they do, Pamela will give a warning swipe to go with the growl. Not positive about dogs but it appears to be similar feelings. Definitely a no-go for kids, as Pam is easily agitated and over-stimulated. She will need patient and compassionate adults or almost-adults in her life.

Pamela is a quirky, shy girl that is extra special, loving and sensitive. With patience, play and lots of love; Pamela will be a wonderful companion for the right family. Once she learns to trust, she’ll blossom and learn how awesome life with a loving family can be.

Thank you for welcoming a senior cat into your family - an adoption fee of your choice is appreciated, vs. our standard adult cat adoption fee of $200.

Additional adoption info

Adoption fee is $200 per adult cat, and $250 for kittens (under 8 months old).

This ensures that the cats that come into our care receive the attention they need, are spayed or neutered, and receive a rabies vaccination at the appropriate age. For City of Toronto residents, the adoption fee includes a mandatory City of Toronto cat license that is valid for one year. As you can imagine, these fees only begin to cover our costs; donations and ongoing fundraising efforts carry us the rest of the way!

Note:
-Senior cats (8 years or older) have an adoption fee of the adopter's choice, vs. our standard adult adoption fee of $200.
-Our adoption fee for an adult bonded pair (8 months or older) is $150 per cat vs. $200 per cat. Thanks for giving two loving friends a home together!
