Kittens and cats in Milton, Ontario

Hey everyone! It’s me, Baby! Do you remember me from the adoption centre? It’s been awhile since I’ve been there. I’ve been enjoying my long, extended vacation at my foster dad’s house. It’s been soooo nice to have the place all to myself and not be pestered by other cats. In case you forgot, let me tell you a bit about myself. I’m seven years old and while I was known for being grumpy at the adoption centre, I’ve really changed since I’ve been in my foster home. Foster dad says I really am a friendly guy. I like pets and head rubs, just as long as they’re on my terms. You know, when I feel like, not when you feel like it. I love bedtime and will cuddle and use foster dad as a pillow. Sometimes I even wake him in the night for attention. Hey, when I want attention, I want attention! I still don’t like to be picked up or sit in your lap, but I like to nap in the same room as you. I’m always looking for a new place to snooze. I love me some serious nap time! I like to talk a lot too. You usually know where I am, as I’ll often walk around announcing my arrival or presence. Sometimes I forget my manners and might give a little nip. But just give me my space and I’ll stop. I’m a manly cat, but I have to admit – I’m afraid of loud noises. I have to run and hide when that noisy vacuum comes out. I can be a bit skittish at times, but foster dad reassures me and makes me feel safe when I’m scared. Dad says that overall, I’m really an easy going kitty – most of the time. You already know that I don’t like cats and dogs. That hasn’t changed, so I really need to be your one and only pet. In case you forgot, I was surrendered with my brother when our family came upon hard times. My brother got adopted almost right away when we went into the adoption centre, but I had a really hard time adjusting and I spent a LOT of time there. Even though I made great progress with all the wonderful volunteers there, I still wasn’t completely comfortable or happy. That’s when I went to my foster home for my extended vacation. While I’m having the time of my life at my foster home, the time really has come for me to find my forever home. My new family will have to understand my need for time and space to get used to all the new things. I need someone who is okay with my occasional nip or grumpiness. Once I settle in, I’ll be snoozing on your bed in no time. I really do deserve my own forever home, where I can lay down my own permanent roots, just as much as every other cat. I sure hope that home is with you! What do you say? Do you want to meet me? I’m going to hang with foster dad until my new family comes along, so contact the folks at the rescue at (905) 301-3532, email: info@ninthlifecatrescue.org or fill out an online application: http://ninthlifecatrescue.org/adopt/adoption-application/ and they’ll connect us.

This adorable pair of one year old sisters is Emory & Eden! Emory is an affectionate little purse panther who loves to rub on people’s legs to let them know she would like some attention. After being allowed to sniff your hand, she welcomes pets and scratches as well! Her favourite places to be scratched are the sides of her face and her chin. Emory LOVES toys! She can play all by herself, or with her sister, or with her humans. She loves wand toys the most! She will even play fetch sometimes if you are patient with her! She will pick a spot to “hide” all of her favourite toys from her sister. When she feels comfortable, (or when it is clearly PAST dinner time) Emory loves to chat. She has a tiny little mew that is just so precious, yet so demanding at the same time. She will jump up next to her human to snuggle as soon as she trusts that she will not be picked up without her permission. She loves to snuggle and she and Eden are often found in an adorable cuddle puddle atop a comfy couch or blanket. Emory will allow you to pick her up only after she gets to know you and begins to trust you more deeply. She is good with other cats, and is usually fine with being a follower instead of a leader. Eden is a tiny but mighty little girl. She is shy until she gets to know you, but the wait and experience are so worth it. She tends to watch Emory first, and then join in when she feels safe. Eden LOVES food. All food. Any food. Though she is small, she has a BIG appetite! Eden knows when it is almost dinner time, and makes sure that the humans know it too! She even tries to convince one human that another human has not yet fed her, when she knows very well that she has just eaten her whole meal. Though Eden is a bit more shy than her sister, she still has a big personality. She likes to be the leader of all felines in the house. Eden prefers not to be picked up just yet, but may very well change in the near future. She certainly does like to be close to her humans and feline family members. Eden & Emory will do best in a quiet household with no dogs or children. These girls deserve to be the centre of attention and must be adopted together. Emory & Eden were found as strays and rescued from animal services. Because these girls were feral until about six months old, they do still sometimes have a tendency to be frightened of new people and new places. They are learning to trust more and more quickly though, and will need a family that has the patience to let them comfortable in their new home. These two babes have been in foster for over six months, and have always been treated as part of the family. Now, they deserve their own forever family, who will love and cherish them always. If you would like to meet Emory & Eden, please contact Ninth Life Cat Rescue at (905) 301-3532, email: info@ninthlifecatrescue.org or fill out an online application: http://ninthlifecatrescue.org/adopt/adoption-application/

Handsome and sweet, this two year old boy is Gigi! Gigi’s foster mom says he just loves attention. Gigi doesn’t like it when you leave the room because he like to sit with you and cuddle on your lap. He has his own room at his foster home, but foster mom thinks that he would definitely like to sleep with you! Gigi loves his cat nip toys and he loves being brushed. We’re not sure how he is with other pets, but with a proper introduction, he should be fine. Gigi can nip sometimes when he gets over stimulated, so it’s probably best he’s in a home with older children only. Through no fault of his own, Gigi was surrendered by his owner, who could no longer care for him. Gigi would love to find his forever home as soon as he can! He’s looking for a permanent lap to cuddle on. Is that with you? If you would like to meet Gigi, please fill out an online application: http://ninthlifecatrescue.org/adopt/adoption-application/ and we can arrange a meeting.

This gorgeous, long haired calico is Paprika! Paprika is approximately six years old and is loving life in her foster home. She’s a petite girl, with a big personality. Paprika loves her wet food and being petted on her head. For some reason, she does not like her back touched, but will give headbutts for attention. Paprika is a chatty girl with a very loud purr! She does not appear to like other cats and was not happy with anyone being too close to her for more than a few minutes at a time while in the adoption centre. But, being with her current foster, she is proving to be lovable and sweet, as is often the case with cats in the adoption centre who don’t like other cats. In her foster home, her favourite hangout is lounging on the couch and she sleeps on her foster mom’s bed every night! Paprika’s ideal home will have no other pets, so that she can be your one and only. Paprika was rescued from Animal Services and is very excited to find her new forever home now! If you would like to meet Paprika, please fill out an online application: http://ninthlifecatrescue.org/adopt/adoption-application/ and we can arrange a meeting.

Booker is a 6 and a 1/2 year old neutered male who is desperately in need of a foster home. He has been in a shelter since the end of January. There was a domestic dispute and he was left at a hotel. He is quite shy but is starting to come around. A very sweet boy. He will do much better once he is out of the shelter.

Adolphus is a striking, white long haired beauty with crystal blue eyes. He arrived calm and relaxed and appeared to be the polar opposite to his spritely roommate. But don’t judge this cat by his cover, he is now giving Jet a run for his money and is proving to be a fantastic playmate. Jet lives up to the expression dynamite comes in small packages. He is a spunky little kitten, full of energy, covered in soft black fur and stuffed with affection. Jet and Adolphus, more affectionately known as “Scampy” and “Floof”, meow and moan at the door when they get separated. Play time involves high speed chases and vigorous wrestling followed by exhausted sleeping. They take turn pouncing and pinning each other down, with Jet usually emerging with a mouthful of white fluff. Jet assumes any trip to the kitchen must be to get him food and reminds you of this with big eyes and sweet purrs. While Adolphus’ neuter wound has been healing, Jet has found a friend in a stuffed toy sheep who he enthusiastically tackles and practices stalking moves on. Adolphus loves balls with bells in them. He has almost mastered the art of fetch and eagerly waits for a ball to be rolled for him to bound after. Both cats are fascinated by the washing machine and its strange noises and movements. Almost anything is a game for Jet, including computer screens, TV screens and phone screens. Adolphus remains the gentler, composed kitty, but loves to nibble and whack the rubber on the end of spring door stops. Both cats would do well in a house together, or any house as long as there is another cat for company with similar energy levels.
