We do the same! Some cats are just not cool with being around people and/or indoor living.

At this moment, we have 4 cats awaiting spay/neuter who fit this criteria. Unfortunately they’ve been indoors for the last few months and haven’t built up their winter coats thus needing a location that is sheltered from the elements and warm. So if you need a warehouse kitty or two- hit us up!

At the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society, we strive to find loving homes for the animals that come into our care.

Sometimes community cats come into our care who can’t return to their original outdoor colony and aren’t suited for life as indoor pets. Instead, they thrive in non-traditional homes like barns, workshops, greenhouses and other quiet spaces where they can do what they do best — patrol and keep pests at bay.

These cats are healthy, spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. While they prefer minimal human interaction, they’re happy to work in exchange for food, water, basic shelter and vet care when needed. Adoption fees are waived, with just a small cost for a winter shelter to help keep them safe and warm.

If you think your property could offer a second chance to a working cat, read the full blog to learn how the program works and what to expect.

🐾 Meet Wayne — The Lover, the Explorer, the Biscuit-Making Gentleman 🐾

Adoption Fee: $250 — includes neuter, vaccines, and microchip
Birthday: February 14th, 2025 💘

If you’re looking for personality, boy do we have the cat for you. Wayne is a one-of-a-kind Valentine’s baby with equal parts goofy charm and sophisticated manners. He’s 50% cuddle-bug, 50% adventurer, and 100% devoted to his human.

✨ Wayne’s Vibes:
• Playful, curious, vocal, and absolutely convinced he should be the center of your world
• Loves to perch on your lap, shoulder, or anywhere that puts him in the spotlight
• Enjoys gentle love bites, “teef” rubs on your face/forehead, and plotting escape missions to the outdoors

🐾 Social Butterfly Status:
Wayne has done an amazing job learning that sharing is caring. He’s been socialized with other cats — his former food aggression is now a thing of the past — and he’s even learned that dogs are pretty awesome. You’ll often find him waiting by the crate to greet his canine buddy, or snuggling up to the bars to keep her company while she’s “doing time.” 💕

He also enjoys intense storytelling sessions with the household rats, especially while eating Temptations treats (it’s giving “stand-up comedian on snack break”).

😼 Reformed Bad Boy → Distinguished Gentleman
Once a fearless counter-climber, Wayne has discovered the mysterious force known as the spray bottle… and let’s just say, he has transformed into a respectable member of society. Now he channels his energy into toys that squeak, move, or make noise — and leaves your houseplants (thankfully) alone. 🙏🌿

💚 Wayne’s Love Languages:
• Chest rubs
• Ear rubs
• Butt scritches
• Soft blankets
• Sleeping beside you at night
• Endless cuddle sessions on the couch
• Baking biscuits like it’s his full-time job 🥐 (his new home must meet his bakery requirements, please and thank you)

😺 Catnip Enthusiast:
Wayne LOVES catnip and will absolutely growl like a tiny demon during playtime — it’s hysterical and iconic.

🏡 Wayne’s Dream Home:
Somewhere he can explore, cuddle, narrate his daily adventures, and stay close to his person. With Wayne by your side, every obstacle is just another adventure waiting to happen.

If you’re ready for a cat who will keep you laughing, loving, and covered in biscuits, Wayne is waiting. 💛

📩 Apply with Nickel City Cats to meet him!

🌱💚 Meet Little Leaf — A Tiny Warrior With a Wobbly Walk! 💚🌱
(The little black one playing with her foster brother Mango)

Have you ever heard of Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) in cats? It’s a neurological condition that affects the cerebellum — the part of the brain that controls balance and coordination. Cats with CH often have a wobbly or unsteady gait, tremors, or a bouncy way of getting around. But here’s the most important fact of all:

✨ CH is not painful, not contagious, and doesn’t get worse over time. ✨
Kitties with CH can live long, happy, playful lives — they just move a little differently!

Little Leaf is a perfect example. 🌿
Although she’s wobbly, she’s just like any other kitten when it comes to the things that matter most: she loves to bounce around and play, curl up for cuddles at nap time, and eat every delicious bite she can get her paws on! 😸🍗

Her confidence is incredible — every day she gets stronger, braver, and more determined. Watching her navigate the world is a reminder that disabilities do not define ability, joy, or spirit.

Cats with CH often:

✔️ Learn to adapt quickly
✔️ Use their environment to move with confidence
✔️ Become the most affectionate, people-oriented companions
✔️ Show incredible resilience and personality!

Little Leaf’s wobble is just a part of her charm. 💕
She doesn’t know she’s “different” — she just knows she’s loved, safe, and ready for her next adventure.

If you’ve ever considered adopting a special needs cat, let Little Leaf be your inspiration. CH kitties don’t need pity — they need patience, support, and someone who believes in them. And in return, they give endless love.

🌟 Different doesn’t mean less — it means special. 🌟

🌶️ Meet Salsa — Sweet, Silly, and Ready for Her Forever Home! 🌶️�
$250 | 2 years old | Spayed, Vaccinated & Microchipped�Available through Nickel City Cats

Salsa is a gorgeous all-black beauty with bright yellow eyes and the softest heart. When she first arrived, her fur was quite thin — but with love and care, most of it has grown back beautifully. She still has a tiny bald spot on her bum, but it doesn’t bother her one bit (and honestly, it just adds character 💁‍♀️).

This girl is peak cozy. She loves sleeping in your bed, soaking up pets, and snuggling in whenever she can. When she’s not being affectionate, you’ll find her watching cat TV, batting around q-tips, or playing with her favourite little pom poms.
Salsa is wonderful with other cats, great with kids, and does well with calm dogs. She truly just wants to be part of a loving home where she can continue to thrive.

If you’re looking for a cuddly companion with a playful streak and a heart full of love, Salsa might be your perfect match. 💛

🐾 Meet Cookie Dough! 🐾

Adoption fee: $375 (includes spay/neuter, vaccines & microchip)
📅 Born September 16

This sweet little white fluff is the ultimate cuddle bug — seriously, the most lovable kitten of the whole bunch! ❤️

Cookie Dough lives for snuggles:
If there’s a lap, a blanket, or a warm chest nearby, he’s already on his way to curl up and purr himself to sleep. He’s confident, outgoing, and always the very first to come say hello. He wants to be held, loved, and involved in everything you’re doing.

If you’ve been looking for a kitten who will choose snuggling over literally anything else, Cookie Dough is your guy. A true companion for someone who wants a shadow, a cuddle buddy, and a best friend rolled into one adorable little package. 🤍

📣 Meet Halifax! 📣

Ready to add a touch of elegance (and a whole lot of love) to your home? Say hello to this adorable little lady!

🐾 Adoption Fee: $375 — includes spay, vaccines, and microchip
🐱 Name: Halifax
🎂 Birthday: September 15, 2025

Halifax is the definition of sweet patience. While her bold sister Windsor bounds around like a tiny “bull in a china shop,” Halifax hangs back like a true little lady — waiting calmly for her turn at cuddles and attention. She’s observant, gentle, and has a soft, soulful way of connecting once she trusts you.

Don’t let her polite manners fool you though — Halifax loves to play, explore, and chase toys, she just has a slightly quieter approach to fun. And when it’s time to relax? She is ALL about curling up in your arms, purring away the evening like a cozy little cat-shaped weighted blanket.

Halifax would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a snuggly, easygoing kitten with a soft spirit and a loving heart. ✨

Thank you so much to everyone who came in to see me for a reading with an open mind and an open heart - and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your donations!
