Beautiful Amber has finally found her happily ever after!! She is the mother of kittens that were found in a box on the side of the road. All her babies have been adopted, but today is a special day for her and she has departed for her forever home. We will miss you, princess; you deserve nothing but love and happiness.

Galina's adoption is pending. This princess who prefers to sip her water from her paw will soon be officially adopted. What a wonderful start to a brand new year for this beautiful girl.

Do you possess medical expertise, including subcutaneous fluid administration, pill medication, and liquid medication? We are seeking dedicated individuals with experience in caring for cats or kittens undergoing medical treatment. You must have up-to-date vaccinations for your current animals and a separate spare bedroom for the foster cat or kittens. If interested, please email us at [email protected], rather than commenting on this post.

Much love
Tammy

Meet Patti 🧡🤎🤍🖤

Our tri colour cutie. If you could describe sweet, soft and cozy in cat form, she would be it. Did we mention she is fluffy and soft? 🥰

Patti loves to snuggle up, be held like baby, and give you lots of nose boops. Patti is the purrrfect companion for a Netflix binge, a mid day nap or winding down at the end of the day.

Patti is great with other cats, very social and loves playing with toys!

Come visit Patti every Saturday and Sunday 11:00-2:30pm 🫶🏽🤎

Meet Domino

Our facility is currently at maximum capacity, and we are unable to accept any additional cats or surrenders until further adoptions take place. Nevertheless, we always ensure that one cage is available for emergency situations. A compassionate individual discovered a cat searching for food in dumpsters at a Domino's Pizza location in Listowel in the pouring rain. This person contacted several local rescues but was unable to find one that could accommodate the cat. Fortunately, her friend who volunteers at Kitchener Stray Cat Rescue intervened and promptly took action. We have given the cat the name Domino. When palpated, Domino's spine is easily felt, indicating severe emaciation. Moreover, his tongue has been severed, and his mouth emits a strong odor of infection. He also suffers from severe ear mites; however, treatment for this condition has already been administered. Domino has been given pain medication to alleviate his discomfort and amoxicillin to treat the infection, ensuring a restful night's sleep. It is reassuring to note that Domino exhibits a healthy appetite.
Domino is approximately 16 months old

Stanley, approximately 4.5 months old, is seeking a forever home where he can experience a happy and fulfilling life. Could you provide the ideal environment for him? Meet Stanley at Pet Valu on Highland Road. Please be aware that he requires a serene atmosphere, without the presence of young children or dogs, as he is easily startled. However, once he becomes comfortable, he reveals his affectionate side. Stanley, his siblings, and their mother arrived at our facility during the summer. The kittens are now awaiting placement in suitable forever homes. We are grateful for the efforts of the volunteers at KSCR, who have successfully helped these kittens develop trust in humans. 💕

Our very handsome Lenny (or litter box Lenny, as some volunteers lovingly call him). Len is a long term KSCR resident, still waiting for the right person to take a chance on him. He used to spend his days hiding in the litter box, but these days you’re more likely to find him lounging somewhere on a cat tree. He is approximately 5 years old. Read more about Lenny below:

Lenny is a semi-feral soul who enjoys his independence and prefers to observe from a distance. While he won’t let you pet or pick him up, he has shown a bit of trust by allowing some volunteers to gently pet him on the head when he feels safe in his cubby, and his pur tells us he’s starting to enjoy human touch.

Lenny needs a patient and understanding home, as he may never fully warm up to humans. He thrives in the company of other cats and would do best in a household where he can share space with feline companions.

Due to his shy nature, Lenny would not be suited for a home with children.

If you’re ready to provide Lenny with the love and understanding he needs (and so deserves), come meet him at our shelter every Saturday or Sunday.

Happy ❤️🎉 First of all, we want to thank everyone who donated to us on Black Friday! Our rescue is 100% volunteer run and 100% donation funded. We truly wouldn’t be able to do this without the continued help of our community.
If you are looking for ways to help us, please see below. 👇

1) As we are entirely donation run, we depend largely on the generous donations of people in our community. We truly mean it when we say every dollar counts. Imagine every single follower donated even $1 each? That would be massive for us! The overhead to just keep the facility open is large, let alone the never ending vet bills to ensure proper care for our cats and kittens. Here are some things your monetary donations will help with:
- Vet Care, emergency care and spay/neuter/vaccinating
- Medication costs
- Facility overhead costs
- Treatment for our FIP kitten, Maxwell. (Over $4000)
You can donate various ways.
Etransfer: [email protected]

PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/ca/fundraiser/charity/4365746
Visit in person Saturday/Sunday from 11-2 to make a cash, card or cheque donation.

2) Item donations! We run monthly auctions and are in need of new or gently used items. We are also asking for donations of new, unopened bottles of alcohol for our alcohol raffle(s). Items can be dropped off Saturday/Sunday from 11-2.
We are also in need of wet cat food and clumping clay cat litter, as well as Fresh News paper litter for our kittens. Our Amazon Wishlist can be found below. Please send item donations to: 248 Traynor Ave
Kitchener, Ontario N2C 1W6
Canada

3) Share on social media! We understand the holidays are especially tight for many people. Please take care of yourself first. A quick share of some of our posts is a free way that you can help us!! We are now active on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok ()

4) Volunteer!! We are always looking for reliable volunteers to keep our facility running smoothly. Who doesn’t want kitten cuddles?! Email us at [email protected] with subject line “Volunteer”!
Foster!! We are in need of foster homes to provide loving temporary homes to kittens or adult cats awaiting surgeries or who may not do as well in a shelter and need socialization. If you have a spare room, time and love, go to our website to read more and apply to be a foster home.

From all of us at KSCR, thank you!!

Remember Wally, this beautiful boy discovered in a Walmart parking lot out of town. Upon admission to our facility, a preliminary evaluation was conducted, revealing a severely malnourished and emaciated state. His extreme hunger led him to ingest rocks and dirt, as confirmed by the analysis of his stool and vomit the next day. Wally has achieved significant weight gain and is approaching optimal weight for his age, rendering him soon ready for a thorough veterinary examination. Nevertheless, his shy demeanor necessitates the assistance of our volunteers to facilitate trust-building with humans. I am exceedingly proud of your progress, Wally.

Much love
Tammy
