Cat Safety: Lilies Are Toxic

Please remember that lilies are highly toxic to cats. If a cat ingests even a small amount, it can do severe damage to their kidneys.  If you are bringing a festive Easter lily or Spring bouquet that includes lilies into your home, please ensure the flowers are placed where your cat cannot nibble on them.

Herald is 5 years old, neutered, vaccinated, FIV & feline leukemia negative, and has also been microchipped. Herald was brought into a clinic by a member of the public that found him in her condo foyer in the beach area; he was clinging to the wall very scared, camera footage showed that he had been tossed into the entrance and abandoned by his person. It was a very cold day in February when Herald first arrived at the clinic, and they could tell that he needed to be placed in a home since he was very scared and was reacting very defensively. When he first arrived at his foster home he was also very scared. Herald is not a cat that deals well with change at first since he has had so much in such a short period of time, he needs “his space” at first. BUT since that time he has become a very loving, gentle, sweet and VERY affectionate cat when he settles into his new environment - no hint of the scared cat that first arrived at the clinic. He wants to be by your side all the time and can be quite vocal if you decide you need alone time (i.e go to the bathroom), he just wants to be your loving and loyal shadow. He enjoys being held and will give you head butts and he purrs to show how happy he is in your arms. He is smart - he knows when breakfast and dinner are and will “sing” for his meals. Herald must not go to a home with other cats and pets. He would be best suited to a patient and understanding person, especially during the settling in period, who has had cats before. Also a home without children is ideal. Herald has been through so much, he would love to find his forever home where he can settle and learn to trust people. Also, he wanted us to point out that he is humble as well as being extremely handsome. Herald is participating in our Courtesy Adoption Posting Program and is not the property of Toronto Cat Rescue. Toronto Cat Rescue does not accept responsibility for any pet placements that result from this service. If you need more info or would like to adopt please contact Cary directly at 416-690-4040. Thank you! #catsofinstagram #herald #adoptdontshop #secondchance Update: ADOPTED!! Handsome ARCHIE really needs to connect with his forever family... can you help this dude find some love by spreading the word? Archie is neutered, vaccinated and was born August 14, 2016. He shares: “I’m a sweet, good looking cat who is seeking a patient, quiet adult-only forever family. I like pats and playing, but I need to feel comfortable first with my humans. I like the company of my foster mum, so I will sit with her. My favourite things are catnip, tunnels and baby blankets. I don’t enjoy being brushed, but if you trick me with play time I might not notice you are doing it! I can get overwhelmed, so you will just have watch my body language (and you will learn to understand my boundaries). I was put with my current foster family after biting my previous caregiver. I felt bad about it, but I didn’t understand how to deal with being stressed because the home had a lot of other cats who ignored my boundaries. I’m grateful I had an understanding foster family to go to, who respected my space and gave me a chance... and who had no other cats! I dream about joining an adult-only, single-cat family (that cat being me!). While I can get easily overwhelmed, I am trying hard to be more relaxed! You just have to give me my space, respect my boundaries (like not picking me up), and let me love you at my own pace - and I promise to do the same for you! With respect and patience, I will reward you by being a loyal and loving addition to your family." Note from Archie's foster family: "Archie has a lot of love to give to the right family. He has not bitten while in my care and I’m confident he’ll be happy in a home that fits his needs. Meeting and bonding with him before adoption will be the first step to giving this beautiful cat a home where he feels safe and happy. I think you will be happy you gave this guy a chance!". Note: Archie is being fostered in Waterloo, ON and has a reduced adoption fee of $100 (versus our regular adoption fee of $175) #adoptArchie #AdoptDontShop #Waterloo #catsofinstagram Please share the love this Valentine’s Day - meet three very special cats we rescued this week: Cupid, Angel and Eros (nite: these cats are not ready to be adopted). Cupid, Angel and Eros are three purebred cats rescued from dire circumstances - they were terribly neglected. They have spent time at the emergency vet clinic this week, and they all need treatment for terrible URI’s, general care, and cleaning. Sadly, at least one ((if not two cats) will likely lose an eye. All three cats are showing signs of dental disease. Unexpected medical expenses like these are hard to absorb. We are humbly asking for you to help cover the medical bill for these three sweet cats, which we expect to exceed $5,000. Make a donation on behalf of your Valentine - thoughtful gifts are the best! Donate: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/m/46541/donation - clickable link in bio. Luckily for Cupid, Angel and Eros by coming into our program they are on the first step of their road to recovery. They are currently being cared for at one of our amazing vet clinics, and then will be off to foster care. We know they now have a second chance at a happy life in a forever home. It breaks our hearts to see cats in these conditions, but we are so grateful to supporters like you, who share your love and care so willingly, that we are able to give these kitties everything they need for a second chance. *** Toronto Cat Rescue receives no government funding and completely relies on adoption fees and donations from the public. We are blessed to have such generous and caring supporters to help these wounded and needy animals. A donation of $30, $50, $125 or whatever you can spare will allow us to keep giving the care these cats need. Thank you for your ongoing support! #RescueInAction #ValentineCats #ShareTheLove #catsofinstagram
