Story
Wilbur is a sweet boy with a calm nature. He may be a little shy when first settling in, but once he feels safe, his true personality begins to shine. On his terms, he shows affection in the most endearing ways, especially with his signature very enthusiastic head bumps (fair warning: they’re strong enough to knock you over!).From Wilbur’s foster home:Wilbur has been shy in the home, but he’s steadily coming out of his shell. He enjoys being near people and will often observe from a cozy cat tree or enclosed space, like a cube or box. He prefers to approach humans on his own terms and doesn’t enjoy being picked up, though he’ll tolerate it briefly. He’s very food-motivated (Churus are a huge hit!) and this has helped build trust and confidence. Wilbur has a playful side that’s still emerging, he plays independently right now and is a bit bashful about joining in, but his foster is confident that with patience, his playful personality will continue to blossom. He also loves to snuggle close and keep a calm presence nearby so he can “keep an eye” on things. Wilbur has been very calm and friendly with other cats in his foster home. He greets them politely and shows no aggression. He may do well with another friendly feline, provided a slow and gradual introduction is done. Dogs seem to make him nervous. He would do best with a calm, low-energy dog who can respect his space (or a dog-free home).***NOTE*** Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets. They will be experiencing a new environment and meeting new people, which means they may not exhibit the same behaviours they did in their foster videos or while in foster care.If you are viewing this animal through 24Petconnect by PetPlace or Adopt-a-pet, please visit our website https://kwsphumane.ca/adopt/process to submit an application.

Meow, I’m TanQR. I’m super friendly and communicate a lot with my mouth. My current hobbies include playing with springs, hanging out in the cat tree hammock and eating. I know how to use my scratching post and litter box. Oh and not to forget, did I mention I’m a super cat with only 3 legs?! ***NOTE*** Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets.

Story
Popcorn is a little golden kernel ready to pop into your life.

Popcorn is an affectionate boy who truly enjoys human company. He loves pets, soaks up attention, and brings warm, cozy energy wherever he goes. His slightly stern expression only makes his laid back nature all the cuter, like a tough exterior hiding the softest center.If you’re searching for a companion with personality, Popcorn is ready to be the main feature. One meet and greet, and you’ll see just how quickly this kernel melts your heart!***NOTE*** Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets.
