My story

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

Microchipped, DOB: April 7, 2024

Hi there, my name is Long Black. I’m the most loving and snuggly kitten you’ll ever meet and I get along with everyone. If you’re looking for a nice scarf to keep you company while you sit on the couch or go to bed, then I might be the cat for you!

I love everyone and don’t have a mean bone in my little body. If you just look at me I will start purring and I will ask to be picked up and held. When you’re lying down in bed or sitting on the couch, I’ll come up to snuggle with you on your chest. My foster parents say it’s very uncomfortable for them, but my comfort is more important, so they always let me stay. I’ll also sometimes give you a bath by licking your eyes and ears.

I don’t just get along with humans, but with other cats and dogs too. I grew up with many other kittens and I love to play and snuggle with them. My foster home has a big dog and even though I don’t play with her that much, I can sometimes be found sleeping on her bed with her. I can be very playful and will never pass up the opportunity to play with a noisy wand toy. I’m also a bit of a chewer and with chew on the small soft toys I find.

You might have noticed in my pictures that my eyes look a bit different to other cats. I have a congenital defect of my eyelids that could affect me in the future, so before you put in an application for me you should read the next paragraph from my foster parents for very important information about me:

Long Black has been diagnosed with eyelid agenisis, likely due to a viral infection while in-utero, affecting the development of her eyelids. She has undergone a procedure at the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) in Guelph to inject a filler in order to prevent fur and eyelashes from causing irritation and to be able to close her eyes. She currently requires optixcare eye lube applied to her eyes 2-3 times a day. Adopters should consult with their veterinarian on an annual basis or as needed for any future treatment.

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!
