🧡Adoption Update: Romi (formerly Sweetart)🧡

We wanted to share an update on our sweet girl, Romi (formerly Sweetart)! She was a little nervous when she first came home, but she’s growing more confident every single day.

When we first met Romi, we noticed that the collar she was wearing matched one that belonged to our dog Rocket, who sadly crossed the rainbow bridge earlier this year. It felt like a little sign — as if Romi was sent just for us. 💛

Romi has settled in to our home, and is a big, snuggly, sometimes goofy, bundle of doggy love! She doesn't seem to realize how big she is, and just wants to be with her people wherever they are!

She loves to play with her older dog sister, who is so happy to have a companion. They play together, chase each other around, and then have a nice long nap.

We’ve been doing some clicker training, and she catches on so quickly. She gets the zoomies and races around our backyard, making us laugh every day. When she gets tired, she loves a good belly rub and a snuggly nap.

She’s a big fan of walks and meets other dogs easily. She’s still a little hesitant with new people but is gaining confidence all the time.

She’s growing so fast and continues to show us her sweet, goofy, and loving personality. We are so thankful that you chose us to be her family.

Thank you for all you do 🐾💛

A new home is a big deal for a pet. It takes time to feel safe, trust, and settle in. 🏡💛
Shyness, accidents, or uncertainty don’t mean you’re doing something wrong — they mean your new friend is learning what love feels like.
Trust the process — you’re building something beautiful.

Being on the frontlines of animal welfare on PEI, means we see some heart-wrenching and heart-warming stories. 💔💖 This week's video shares images that may be upsetting for some viewers. ⚠️

Ella and Marshall are two cats 🐱🐱 that have come to the shelter showing symptoms of cerebellar hypoplasia in 2025.

Their condition can cause tremors in the cats' movements which means they can be wobbly on their feet. 🤍🌀 However, their personalities remain fully intact! ✨

The PEI Humane Society takes every precaution to ensure that cats with cerebellar hypoplasia are adopted into homes that are prepared to meet their needs. 🏡💙 These special cats have normal life expectancies but may find things like stairs challenging (depending on the severity of their condition). 🪜

With modern veterinary medicine on our side, we know quite a lot about cerebellar hypoplasia. 🩺 For instance, we now know that the condition is caused when a mother cat contracts a virus during pregnancy, resulting abnormal brain development in her growing babies. 🤰🧠 Once the babies are born, the progress of the condition halts and does not get any worse. ✅

With this knowledge in hand, we are now able to educate pet owners about CH and assure them that the condition is nothing to be worried about. 🙌 It merely makes their cat extra special - and a little wobbly. 😻🫶

🧡Adoption Update: Billie (aka William P. Eng)🧡

We adopted our sweet cat, Billie, in mid-August — he has officially retired from Professional Engineering to take up a life of naps and hunting toy mice.

Billie has settled in beautifully. He’s playful, affectionate, and loves to start his mornings with breakfast followed by some serious bird-watching from the window. My nieces call him our “Halloween cat,” and he truly fits the role — sleek, charming, and just a little bit magical.

We’re so happy to have Billie as part of our family. He’s brought so much joy (and entertainment) into our home! 🖤🐾

🧡Adoption Update: Teddy (aka Jerry)🧡

Teddy (Jerry) is the sweetest little guy. He and Pete became friends within just a couple days and are now inseparable. I feel so lucky to have him as a part of our little family. He loves to chase Pete and be chased, play with every toy he can find, but is also constantly cuddling up with us for a nap. So grateful for Teddy and that Pete got his forever friend 💗 Thanks for everything!

🐱 Not every cat dreams of being a couch-lounging housepet… some prefer to clock in for work!

From patrolling barns to keeping sheds, workshops, or farm spaces pest-free — some cats feel most confident when they have a job to do 💼✨

If you have a space that could benefit from a feline “employee,” consider adopting through our Barn Buddy program!
You provide shelter, food & daily care — and they’ll take pride in earning their keep 💙
