My story

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

DOB February 4, 2019

Hi, I’m a cheerful, affectionate kitty with a great balance of independence and love! I might come across as a little shy at first, but I warm up quickly—especially if you’re lounging on the couch. The moment you lie down or rest a pillow on your lap, I’ll be there, ready to snuggle up and purr away on your chest or legs.

I love being around my humans, especially when things are calm—whether you're sitting, lying in bed, or just relaxing. I’m also a great little sidekick and will happily follow you around the house, always curious about what’s going on. Guests? No problem! I’m polite and friendly with them, too.

One of my favorite cozy habits is climbing under the duvet (but never under the sheets!) after my foster parents get up. I’ll snooze there for hours—it’s my happy place.

I dabble in toy play, especially when my humans join in, and I might just find a favorite if you introduce me to new ones. I’m gentle and well-mannered—I allow handling and being picked up, even though it’s not my top hobby. I never scratch or bite, even when I’m unsure.

Health-wise, I’ve been on a urinary care diet to help prevent crystals and have done very well on it. While I had some upper respiratory symptoms in the past, I’ve been healthy and symptom-free for the last three months in my foster home. Once I’m settled in my forever home, I may be able to transition to a high-quality regular diet.

And if you’re wondering how I start my day—I’ve got a whole morning routine! As soon as I hear your alarm, I dash into bed, climb on top of you, and start my gentle (but persistent!) nudging for pets. I even let out a cute little whine if you slow down—it’s my way of asking for just a bit more love.

If you're looking for a sweet, snuggly, and well-behaved companion, I'm your cat. I can't wait to find my forever cuddle buddy!

Additional adoption info

Adoption fee is $225 per adult cat, and $300 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 $225.
-Our adoption fee for an adult bonded pair (8 months or older) is $175 per cat vs. $225 per cat. Thanks for giving two loving friends a home together!
