Adopt Mudgy!

June is all about adults cats at Toronto Cat Rescue!  All of our gorgeous cats born prior to October 2012 have a reduced adoption fee of $100 for the month of June (vs. our standard $175). These stunning felines are getting over looked because kitten season has begun, so we are hoping to help them get noticed with a reduced fee.

1. Did you know that at this time of year everyone wants to adopt a kitten? Why not adopt an adult that already knows his/her manners and household etiquette.

2. Did you know that an adult cat is much less demanding than a kitten? Adult cats are frequently more at ease being left at home for extended periods of time than a little kitten.

3. Did you know that some adult cats don’t photograph well? Don’t pick a cat just by looks or cuteness factor. Much like humans, cats should not be judged by their outer beauty alone. The MOST important aspect of having a great adult cat is their inner beauty. Come and meet some of amazing adult cat at their foster locations.

4. Did you know that many adult cats can be adopted into a single cat home? Adult cats are much more cat-knowledgeable about finding their own sources of entertainment.

5. Did you know that some of these amazing adult cats have been waiting for years now to find their forever homes? How rewarding would it be to give them a home – don’t forget that you save two lives every time you adopt: the one you are adopting and the one you are making space for at the foster home.

ALL cats in the Young, Adult or Senior sections on our Adoptable Cats page are $100 – it is a great deal as you get an amazing new family member that has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and comes with six weeks of complementary pet insurance!

Fun-Loving Polka Dot Seeks Forever or Foster Family!

polkadot2What a character Polka Dot is. He entertains everyone with his silly antics and playful nature. He often walks around the house with a toy ball in his mouth or spends his time chasing dust flecks in the air. He is currently seeking his forever home, or a single-cat foster home until he gets adopted!

Wherever he is and whatever is around him he can turn it into a game. Polka Dot is a happy boy who doesn’t appear to have a care in the world. When he is done with all of his playing, he also loves attention and will curl up in his foster mom’s lap to sleep while she watches TV. He rolls on his back for a belly rub and is fine to be picked up and cuddled. He has a cute little meow he makes when he wants attention. Polka Dot is a sweet boy with a gentle soul and a playful nature.

polkadot3He was rescued from outside along with his mom (Amber) and his siblings (who have all been adopted). It is Polka Dot’s turn to find his forever family. Polka Dot is Feline Leukemia Positive. Despite having the virus he is currently in good health, but most likely the Feline Leukemia virus could cause complications down the road. However, for now he is a engaging, stunning boy who deserves a proper chance to have a forever home. Although he does get along with other cats, he can only go to a home with other cats if they are also Feline Leukemia positive, as it is a contagious virus to cats only. He lives with big dogs and a child and he is fine with all of them. Polka Dot is a real show stopper and is guaranteed to make you fall in love with him.

In hopes of finding Polka Dot his purr-fect family, we are waiving our standard adoption fee of $175 for a donation of your choice.

Polka Dot was born July 30, 2012 and has been neutered and vaccinated.   To adopt, call us 416-538-8592, press #1 / email us:  tcr.adoptions@gmail.com / fill in our adoption online form on our Adopt A Cat page.  To foster (single-cat family please), fill in our Foster Application.

Special Foster Homes Needed

These kittens are currently in need of being rescued.

TCR is in desperate need of socialization foster homes.  During this time of year, TCR finds litters of kittens outdoors or in colonies that need some work to socialize them so they are ready for adoptive homes.  At this time, TCR is not able to rescue many of these kinds of cases because we do not have foster homes who are willing to take them.  TCR rescues kittens under 8 weeks of age who can be socialized easily before adoption.

Socializing can be a highly rewarding experience for a rescuer.  Often, all it takes is a small space (like a bathroom), treats, and tonnes of cuddles and playing to help a kitten become used to being around people and ready for adoption.  Not only does a foster home know they have saved a life, they get the satisfaction and fulfillment from knowing how they helped kittens become affectionate and friendly house pets.  Foster Home Coordinators and experienced foster homes are here to support you through your fostering experience and give you tips and tricks to help your fosters along.  If you are interested in this kind of experience, please fill out our online foster application and indicate in the comments section that you are able to help socialization cases.
