My story

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

DOB: August 23 2023

Webster, or Webby, is a curious, playful, and vocal cat who enjoys cuddles on his own terms. He often purrs while snuggling against you. When he’s very relaxed and sleepy, he sometimes drools, which is quite cute.

Webby communicates with charming chirps as you pass by, and he’s eager for a play partner. He’s exceptionally smart—it's clear he’s always thinking and learning!

Webby has a slight head tilt to the left, which doesn’t bother him, though it can affect his balance occasionally. It's only noticeable when he jumps down too quickly or from unfamiliar surfaces. The cause is uncertain, but it may stem from an old injury, as tests for other issues, like ear polyps, have been negative.

He absolutely loves playing fetch with small paper balls, chasing them and bringing them back endlessly—it's his favorite game!

Webby’s playful aggression requires training to redirect his behavior. Distraction techniques, such as shifting his focus to a favorite toy, work well. We also use “time outs” by placing him in a separate room for 15-30 minutes when he shows aggression to help calm him down.

Note from foster: I believe Webby would thrive in a home without other cats or with a young, playful cat or kitten. Currently, he lives with a senior male cat, and his rough play style is too aggressive for the older cat. Webby’s playful aggression is something we’re working to curb. He can quickly go from cuddling to biting or attacking, so his adopter should be ready to address this behaviour and focus on training.

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!
