My story

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

DOB 16-Sep-2024

Rutherford is being fostered at one of Toronto Cat Rescue’s pet store partner locations. Please note that if you’re approved to adopt, you’ll need to pick them up from the store within 24 hours of being approved.

Hi there! I’m Rutherford, a lively little kitten with a heart full of joy. I'm a sweet, friendly guy who loves nothing more than playing with my brothers and making everyone around me giggle with my goofy antics.

I'm gentle and a little bit shy, but I've got plenty of energy to keep you on your toes! My favorite pastime? Helping you sweep the floor! I can't explain why, but there's something so satisfying about chasing that broom around. You'll never have to sweep alone again! I have so much energy and am still so tiny, so a home with another young cat would help you sleep at night.

If you're wondering who the other two kitties are in the photo, those are my brothers Mariner and Boimler! Can't wait to meet you

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!
