Adopt Judi 💜

Judi is domestic shorthair black and white female who is approximately 5 years old.

Meet Judi, an adult feline with a heart full of love. She’s as sweet as honey, always ready to share a friendly purr or a cuddly moment. Her gentle spirit shines through in her mellow demeanor, making her a joy to be around. Judi is also quite independent, content to explore her surroundings or find a quiet corner to relax in. Yet, she’s incredibly smart and loyal, always returning for more affection. When she wants more pets, she’ll gently bump your hand, a silent plea for more love. She is also very playful, she loves to chase her spring toys or play with her catnip kickers. Judi is not just a cat, she’s a companion, a friend, and a source of comfort. Adopt Judi to add a touch of sweetness and loyalty to your life.

Judi is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated for FVRCP and Rabies. She is FIV and FeLV negative. Her adoption fee is $300. To apply, please submit an adoption application found on our website.

Anya and Rosetta are still waiting for their forever family 🧡 They absolutely love their humans friends, always running up to them for lots of snuggles and to play!

Rosetta is a unique blend of cuddly and playful, happily snuggling into your lap one moment and chasing her tail the next. With a playful spirit that’s contagious, she’ll keep you entertained with her antics. Yet, she also has a mellow side, content to simply bask in the warmth of your company. She’s smart too, quickly figuring out puzzles and toys. But what truly sets Rosetta apart is her sweetness and love for her human friends.

Anya, named after the strong and resilient Anastasia, she embodies similar traits of loyalty and intelligence. Anya’s a cuddly little bundle of joy who loves nothing more than to snuggle up for some quality time. She’s also very goofy, often amusing herself with her favoruite toys. Her sweetness is infectious, making every moment with her a delightful experience.

Anya and Rosetta would love to go to a home together as a pair or to a home with a young cat or dog friend they can bond to.

Anya and Rosetta are both spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated for FVRCP. They will need their rabies vaccine when age appropriate which will be the responsibility of their adopters. The adoption fee is $300, or $550 as a pair. To apply, please submit an adoption application.

They are available to meet at PetSmart- 7 Clair Road W, South Guelph

Bach, Tchaikovsky, and Wagner are 2 month old domestic shorthair kittens with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). CH will not progress or cause their lives to be any shorter than any other kittens, it just makes them a little extra special and wobbly. Please read on further to learn more!

These little maestros are sweet as sugar, radiating friendliness to everyone they meet. Their loyalty is unshakeable, and their gentle nature will soothe your soul. They all have a special funny bone that never fail to amuse, and a smart mind that’s always ready for a new challenge. Their curiosity knows no bounds, and their cuddly demeanor is the perfect antidote to a long day. These kittens are waiting to orchestrate a lifetime of joy and companionship. Adopt a maestro and let them serenade your life with happiness.

Bach, Tchaikovsky, and Wagner have cerebellar hypoplasia which is a congenital condition affecting the part of their brain responsible for motor function. Long story short, it causes cats to be uncoordinated and wobbly, which does not stop them from being able to do anything a cat needs to do. They love to play and wrestle together and are able to eat just fine. They are using the litter box with no troubles while at rescue and in their foster home. Each of the kittens have varying degrees of the signs of cerebellar hypoplasia. Noticeable signs include swaying back and forth when sitting, walking, eating, and drinking.

We have a veterinary resource on cerebellar hypoplasia which we are happy to send to anyone interested in adopting our composer kittens but wanting to know more about CH. We recommend speaking with your veterinarian first to know all the ins and outs of adopting a kitten with CH.

They would be best paired and adopted with one of their siblings, who would no doubt make their adoptive new family extremely happy and give them years of laughter, love and fun. Or with a young pet friend for them to bond. All the composer siblings love to wrestle and would greatly benefit from a young cat in the home to play with and learn from. They do not like to be alone and need a furry companion to groom and cuddle with.

As predicted, Saturdays do not disappoint! Congratulations to all of our kitties who were adopted to loving families today! We are ecstatic to see so many of our rescue cats head off to their safe, warm, caring homes! At the start of the week, we set a goal of 35 adoptions! We have now set a new goal of 50 adoptions! Can you help us achieve our goal?

Let’s finish out National Adoption Week on the 7th and final day tomorrow! We will again be at PetSmart - 7 Clair Road W from 11-6! We hope to see you there! We still have 12 kittens and 5 adult cats hoping to meet the family who will be their happily ever after! Might it be you? Come on out and meet our cats to see if you make that special connection!

Adopted today and pictured here are:
Marmalade, Adele & Joni, Sprite & Dr. Pepper, Higgins, Arctic Char, Bert & Ernie, Pink & Slowpoke, and Tidbit!

Pictured very last are DRK’s own rescue coordinator Jivanna and rescue manager Cherise! They’ve been working very hard with their director Cailey, special event adoption counsellor June, and their team of 25+ volunteers who provide animal care and adoption meet and greets 7 days a week! As well as their amazing foster families who help these kitties grow and become socialized and accept all the love so they’re ready for their forever homes. Let’s give them all a huge round of applause for surpassing their goal of 35 adoptions this week and continuing to raise the bar by setting a new goal of 50!

Thank you to the entire PetSmart team Partnering with all of you is invaluable for our small rescue! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️

Looking for the perfect pair of bonded baby bunnies to brighten up your bad hair days? Look no further than Taveuni and Vanuatu.

These brothers are sure to make your day brighter with their incredibly affectionate nose boops and wildly fluffy ears that constantly move around with their binkies and zoomies.

Taveuni and Vanuatu have been in the shelter since they were only weeks old. They have been handled daily and would be great for prepared first time rabbit owners or experienced rabbit owners. They are accustomed to being around other rabbits and cats.

They are neutered and up to date on physical exams and parasite prevention. We offer exclusive rabbit adoption packages which include the essentials to set your rabbit up for success, or set up your own space and take these boys home during week.

Taveuni and Vanuatu are available as a bonded pair only. Please visit our website for single rabbits available for adoption.
