ENRICHMENT DONATIONS NEEDED!

We are currently reaching out to our friends and supporters see if anyone has a sturdy, clean, gently used cat tree that they no longer need, or your kitty is not interested in, that you may be willing to donate to provide fun and enrichment for our cats awaiting adoption.

Do YOU have a cat tree that you can donate to provide our Mom-to-be, Lily, and her coming family so they have a fun structure to learn, grow and climb on?

Please send us a message if you can help!

Meet Tucker!
1 1/2 yrs Neutered/Male

A beautiful boy who was living rough on the streets, Tucker was trapped during efforts to secure cats for Trap, Neuter, Return services at a colony in the north end of Hamilton that we began working with last fall. It was quickly discovered that while he is shy at first, Tucker is a friendly and sweet boy, and he very much would love to remain indoors in a pet home. A gentle soul who is unsure at first, he just needs a little time to get his bearings, and in short order he begins to explore and to ask for attention and affection. Tucker does not like to be held, but he can be picked up briefly with no struggles, and he loves full body petting and enjoys being brushed. He is an inquisitive little guy who tries to make a toy out of pretty much anything - from toilet paper tubes, to hair scrunchies, to paper straws, he really enjoys batting about unlikely objects, as well as carrying around little furry mouse toys in his mouth! A bit of a talker, with a very responsive nature, Tucker often answers when he is spoken to, in small grunts or soft meows, making him a really very wonderful companion and conversationalist. Tucker has done well with female cats in his foster home, but has a bit of a chip on his shoulder around males - he's only been neutered for a couple of weeks now, so this may change as his hormones continue to go down and balance out, as he was a mature neuter. Paired with female cats, Tucker seems to like to play, without being too rough, and he has even mutually groomed with one of his female foster friends, which is just the sweetest. Tucker is a very handsome boy, and he's got quite a soft and loving nature, he is sure to make a delightful companion to a caring, mature, adult only home.

Tucker has been vet checked and fully vaccinated, treated for routine parasites, he has been microchipped and neutered and is available for an adoption fee of $250.

Meet Tika!
1 yr Spayed/Female

Discovered wandering and picking through trash in downtown Hamilton in search of a meal, Tika is a tiny scrap of a thing at just a year old, who was fighting to make a life for herself on the streets, out in the cold. Lured closer and closer over a 2 week period by a kind member of the public, Tika finally came close enough to be touched - and when she was, she positively dissolved into a puddle of purrs and pleas for belly rubs, she was so grateful to be treated with kindness. We quickly make room for Tika is our program, she had recently had a heat cycle and there was concern she may have been pregnant, but thankfully she was not found to be carrying a litter so she was fully vetted and settled right into a foster home to recover from her spay. A soft, gentle, sweet and mild mannered soul who is just desperate for love and affection, Tika is a calm and mellow girl who is still learning how to play, but she excels at giving and receiving love and affection! A quick and ready lap cat who is eager to cuddle up with her people and who does not mind being picked up or held, she is a warm, friendly and very attentive little cat who loves to be warm, close and cuddled with her people. Tika has slowly become comfortable with other cats, and while she is still nervous of others, she is willing to share lap time, food dishes, litter areas and bright sunny window perches with other mild mannered cats who wont try to pounce on or wrestle with her - she would make a really nice fit for a mature family who is looking for a friend for an older, less active cat who just needs a passive buddy to cuddle up with. Sweet, beautiful, and so full of love and gratitude, little Tika is going to make a wonderful lap cat and cuddle companion in a mature, adult home, without dogs.

Tika has been vet checked and fully vaccinated, she has been treated with routine parasites, has been microchipped and has been spayed. An adoption fee of $250 applies.

Meet Chappy!
6 yrs neutered/Male
FIV+

Rescued from a harsh life on the streets, Chappy was in rough shape when he arrived to the rescue - matted, underweight, with missing and broken teeth and just full of parasites, but friendly under his rough exterior. Chappy underwent surgery at the end of December, he had 7 teeth removed, he was neutered and given a grooming to ease the tug and pull of his matting, and suffering from anemia he was treated with weekly vitamin B injections for several weeks before blood was tested again to find that his system has recovered fully from the damage done by his parasite infestation. For an FIV+ cat who arrived to us with so many issues, he has made a glorious recovery and he is now in good health with no special needs despite his FIV+ status. A passive, gentle and quiet cat who positively loves having the life of a couch potato, Chappy loves just hanging out with his people, being petted, and snacking on wholesome foods and treats. Chappy obviously faced some struggles on the street, and he is not good with other animals, so he is looking for a mature, adult home where he can be the only pet. As King of the Castle, Chappy plans to enforce strict rules around taking time for self-care and cat cuddles, he demands fine quality snax, and expect that his hearty purrs and happily kneading paws will be fussed over by his new human attendants. Offering rewards of a lifetime of love and loyalty, Chappy will rule the roost with happy paws and kisses to the fingers of his closest friends. If you have room on your lap, on our couch, in your bed and at a seat at the head of your table, for a sweet and handsome King, be sure to get your application in to adopt this wonderful boy!

Chappy has been vet checked and fully vaccinated, he has been provided with an extensive parasite treatment program, has fully recovered from his dental surgery and neuter and has been microchipped. An adoption fee of $250 applies.

HELP IS URGENTLY NEEDED FOR PHILLIP!
Mar 24/25 UPDATE

Phillip has been released from hospital care and has entered a foster home where he will continue to recover from his eye and dental surgeries.
He is a sweet and gentle soul, he is so grateful to be warm, comfortable, well fed and petted. We have no doubt he is going to settle into foster care well, and once he is ready for adoption, he is going to be such a gift to his lucky new Forever Family.

DONATIONS ARE STILL URGENTLY NEEDED TO HELP COVER COSTS OF EMERGENCY AND SURGICAL CARE - PLEASE HELP!

Mar 20/25 UPDATE
Our little buddy Phillip underwent surgery to remove his damaged eye, and 4 teeth were extracted(all from one side) where they had been fractured by an likely impact with a car, and he is recovering in hospital care. Phillip is being provided with pain control and antibiotic treatment, and he has been able to eat a slurry of canned high calorie food on his own. Phillip was clipped down and groomed to remove his matting during his surgery, so he feels better, all over, already!

DONATIONS ARE STILL URGENTLY NEEDED TO HELP COVER COSTS OF EMERGENCY & SURGIAL CARE - PLEASE HELP!

Mar 18/25
It all started with a persistent caller, 5:03 am, 5:05 am, 5:06 am, 5:08 am, and finally the call was answered.
Panic on the other end of the phone "Please, please help me! I don't know what to do or where to go!" and 25 minutes later a man arrived to our door with a cat wrapped in his jacket, as he had nothing else in his car to secure and keep the cat warm in.
Poor Phillip had arrived.
We immediately got Phillip settled into a holding cage, offered him warmed wet food and water, and got on the phone, looking for help to have him seen on an emergency basis, and by 7 am, Phillip, who had not eaten but did take a long drink of water, was back on the road and on his way to have an extensive exam, x-rays and to be admitted on IV fluids and pain control to keep him comfortable.
Phillip is an approx. 3-5 year old neutered male who was found near Brucedale and Upper Gage on Hamilton mountain, he is dirty and matted which gives the impression he may have been out on his own for some time, and he does not have a microchip.
It appears that Phillip may have been struck by a car sometime in the last several days - several cracked teeth, 2 teeth knocked right out of his mouth, and with a badly damaged (ruptured) eye, his injuries are fresh, but blood and fluids were dry and matted into his fur giving the impression that it's been at least a few days since these injuries were sustained. Thankfully, x-rays show no broken or fractured bones - a miracle.

WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP!

Phillip was admitted to hospital care on IV fluids and pain control, he has been started on antibiotics and blood was taken for testing - Phillips organs are functioning within normal ranges, and he has tested positive for FIV.

SURGERY IS URGENTLY NEEDED!

Phillip will undergo surgery TODAY to remove and repair his damaged eye, to removed his fractured teeth, and to as best possible repair the gums where his teeth have been knocked out, and we urgently need help to cover the costs of this emergency care and surgery.

PLEASE DONATE!
Phillip will remain in hospital care for several days following surgery to ensure his pain control needs are met, and to ensure that he is able to begin eating a slurry of canned food following surgery, before he will be able to enter foster care for weeks-long recovery from this terrible, incredibly painful ordeal.

PLEASE HELP US HELP PHILLIP!

If you are in the position to make a contribution toward costs of care for poor little Phillip, please donate via PayPal or by e-transfer payment to [email protected]
If you opt to send an e-transfer payment, please use security question "What is the name of the rescue?" and answer/password : priderescue

YOUR DONATIONS SAVE LIVES!

Please consider making a donation to help with the costs of emergency and surgical care for this poor soul, and help us to ensure that he never spends another moment alone, scared, dirty and injured.
Your donations save lives, and help to provide the opportunities for cats like Phillip, to be provided treatment instead of euthanasia, to recover and to have the opportunities they need to recover and heal, and to find Forever Homes, where they never again face such horrible hardships.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING US HELP CATS!

Meet Autumn!
2 yrs Spayed/Female

At approx. 2 years old, beautiful Autumn has spent at least 1 year fending for herself on the streets - she was so scared, that even a very experienced cat caretaker was unable to catch her for some time, but finally found success. Autumn LOVES to be indoors, and she is very sweet given some time to adjust and adapt at her own pace - she is looking for a calm and quiet, mature adult home, and may be happiest as the only pet in the home. Quiet and calm, Autumn does not know how to play with toys and her foster caregiver is working to help her learn to fully enjoy herself now that she is indoors, and she would love a Forever Person who can continue to entice and encourage her to open up and let loose! A beautiful little grey tabby girl, with the most soulful eyes, all Autumn needs is to be loved for just who she is!

Fully vetted, vaccinated, spayed, microchipped and ready for adoption, Autumn is available for an adoption fee of $250.

Please apply to adopt and welcome home this dear little lady who has known much hardship, she sure is hoping for a wonderful Forever!

Ivy, Rosie and Lotus are 3 generations of tortie uniqueness and beauty, they had been living in a barn in Caledonia prior to their rescue. While they were well sheltered, well fed and looked out for, they lacked any vetting care and had remained unspayed/unvaccinated, so they had been adding to our overpopulation crisis.
Ivy is 3 years old, and is the mother of Rosie. Rosie is just over 2 years old, and is the mother of Lotus. Lotus is just over 1 year old, and thankfully, she has avoided having any litters of kittens of her own. These beautiful ladies are shy but friendly, they are gentle, sweet, and love to be petted, they are however just learning the ropes of living indoors for the first time in their lives. We had these 3 beautiful ladies spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped and started on a parasite treatment program on Friday, and they are recovering well in their foster home while we get to know them a little better.
Ivy, Rosie and Lotus will soon be ready to begin the search for their Forever Home(s), so stay tuned for updates on these precous and gentle little beauties!

URGENT HOME NEEDED!

Laurel & Hardy are a bonded pair of 3 year old neutered. microchipped, vaccinated boys who are URGENTLY in need of a Forever Home.

They are shy boys who will need a little more time to adjust at their own pace, but they are non-aggressive and gentle companions once established.

Laurel and Hardy will thrive best in a mature, adult home with no children or dogs.

THIS IS URGENT, PLEASE SHARE!

Please help us to find the Forever Home these boys need!

03/22/2025

Welcome spring, and welcome with it yet another kitten season.

* Turn up volume for amazing purring ASMR! *

This here is Lily, our first guest to enjoy our new 'Kitten Nursery" foster room at our new location, and as you can see she is both very happy to be indoors, and she is close to due to deliver her family - thankfully, this will be the only litter Lily is going to have, as she will be spayed as soon as she has weaned her kittens, and will be able to find her very own Forever Home.

Kitten season is always overwhelming, the demand for help for moms and kittens is higher than any of the rescues can cope with, there are always more mom cats and kittens in need than there is space for them, supplies to care for them and funds to support them.

DONATIONS OF CANNED AND DRY KITTEN FOOD, AND KITTEN-SAFE LITTER ARE NEEDED!

Please consider donating from our Amazon Wish List - we need dry and canned kitten food, and we need corn or pine based cat litters that are safe for young and learning babies, and we deeply appreciate the gift of care supplies for not only our moms and kittens, but our adoptable adults and colony cats.
You can view our Amazon Wish List here : https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/1COCFRB5FGJ11/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1

Stay tuned for updates on Lily and her coming family, and thank you for your support!
