We have lots of news since our last update!
NEW ADOPTION NEWS
Slinky
has finally been adopted since coming into our care in December of last year. And to make his adoption even more special, he was reunited with his ‘sister’
Hermoine! Hermoine’s adopters decided they could add another kitty to the fold, and who better than Slinky! We wish them both a long happy life in their new home…
Lucy
All of Melissa’s
foster kittens were adopted, as you know. But their mom
Lucy remained without a home…until last week when Melissa’s parents decided to adopt her! How awesome is that?! She is such a sweet girl, they just couldn’t resist. Lucy will be living in the lap of luxury and will be spoiled silly for the rest of her days. And of course, Melissa gets visitation rights. Yay Lucy!
NEW FOSTERS
Ava
We rescued a lovely girl named
Ava. She’s being spayed this week at the
OSPCA Spay Neuter clinic, and will be ready for a new home soon after. Her foster family reports that she has constant ‘happy feet’ and never stops purring. Ava is a fantastic cuddler. She loves people and other cats. She will make a great addition to any home looking for an extra affectionate kitty.
FOSTER ANIMAL UPDATE
'mean mom'
We were lucky enough to find a home for our ‘mean mom’ after her kittens were old enough to be on their own. If you remember, this was the stray cat that we took in the day after we rescued her four newborn kittens from a high-kill shelter. She wasn’t much of a people cat, and the foster home did an amazing job of looking after her while she raised her kittens…despite her less than personable demeanour. Big thanks to
Touch ‘n’ Go Equestrian Farm for giving ‘mean mom’ a forever home.
Olive
Turns out that our girl
Olive has some mobility issues. She was diagnosed with
Bilateral Luxating Patellas, which basically means her knee caps will randomly dislocate. She’s having surgery this week to correct the problem. It’s not an inexpensive surgery by any means, so if you were thinking of donating to the LAS, now is the time! We always hope the animals in our care won’t ever need major surgeries like this one, but like people, animals develop health problems throughout their lives and have to have them treated. We have a wonderful vet who is going to do Olive’s surgery at a discounted rate, but we still need help with the cost. Any amount will do. And please know that when you do donate, your money goes directly towards the animals in our care.
