A parade of cuteness is here, ready to charm their way into your heart and home. Can you believe some of these adorable furballs, including kittens, have been patiently waiting for weeks for their purr-fect match?
Swing by today and make a fuzzy friend's dream come true by giving them a forever home!

Next week, we'll be reaching out to applicants to set up some heart-melting meet and greets. Just a heads up, these cuties will be heading to foster homes, so they won't be around for on-site visits at this time.
Rest assured, each little one will be spayed/neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and protected from pesky fleas and ticks.
Do you love cute pictures of dogs? Why not purchase "Who's Your Doggy" coffee table book for a friend, family member or yourself and help the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes at the same time?!
You must order by September 30th!

May was a flurry of furballs at the shelter! Over 50, yep, 50+ cats and kittens came through the door, each one with a personality bigger than the last. We had tiny squeakers, future kitty-moms, lost wanderers, and surrenders from family’s facing all sorts of difficult situations.
But on a positive note, we managed to reunite 8 of our lost furballs with their humans, and 30 cats found their new homes!
For June, we're setting our sights even higher: let's find 40 of our fabulous felines their new favorite lounging spots. You can join the fun too! Whether you're looking to adopt, want to shout out about us on social media, or if fostering is more your jam, we need all paws on deck. Let's make June a month filled with fur-ever homes and happy hearts! 🐾🏠
Update: Carl has been adopted!
Carl is the all-around good boy you've been dreaming of!
He's got the basics down - obedient, toy enthusiast, kid-friendly, and a pro at using the bathroom outdoors. While he can be a bit picky with canine pals, especially on walks, it's nothing a little management can't handle. As for feline friends, a slow introduction is key due to his hound instincts. Carl is a cuddle bug who thrives on family time, charms everyone he meets, and keeps his barks to a minimum. Volunteers can't get enough of him, and we bet you'll fall head over heels once you meet him!

Ollie was an abandoned kitten that was found a couple weeks ago. It was quickly realized why - he had a cleft lip and couldn't nurse like the rest of his siblings. Ollie is now in a foster home growing everyday and will one day be on the search for his forever home.
Bo went out for a field trip with Kaitlyn this week and this is what she had to say about our boy...
I had Bo over for a day trip and a sleepover and he was such a good boy. He met new people and was so good, he met 2 other dogs as well and we did a slow meet with both one at a time with him and he was great! Hes good in the car and He loves to lay on the couch and just hangout at the house. He even watches tv lol. Very chill guy especially for a husky breed. He went outside to pee etc and slept in bed with me all night! I was up before him, he didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. Someone needs to adopt him soon before I do because Hes such an awesome guy! 💙.

Thankful Thursday🐾🥰
Hats off to the amazing Victoria Manor Community Crew for organizing the 'Pet Adoption Day,' offering residents the opportunity to “adopt” a stuffed animal. Cupcakes and special dog treats were available, all in support of a good cause, raising funds for HSKL. They graciously donated money, warm blankets, and the remaining treats.
A big round of applause to the staff and residents for their fantastic support!

Luna is an absolute sweetheart who seizes every chance to snuggle on your lap. She is a special needs cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, also known as wobbly cat syndrome, but she doesn't let it hinder her spirit. Luna enjoys playing, following you around, nibbling on your toes and ankles, and cuddling when you lift her up.
She requires a home without stairs as she is unaware of her inability to manage them and could potentially fall and get hurt. Keep play toys on the floor or at a low height, opt for a floor-mounted scratcher instead of cat trees, and brush her gently with a soft brush, especially under her chin. Luna would thrive either as the only pet or with a calm feline companion. She can hold her ground with other cats, but struggles if they are too energetic, becoming frightened. Since Luna cannot climb onto furniture unaided, a cozy bed on the floor is essential.
Call us at 705-878-4618 to book a meet and greet with this beautiful little lady
UPDATE: ADOPTED TOGETHER!
Earl is the ultimate shelter sweetheart for all the right reasons. He's a cuddlebug who thrives on attention and pampering.While he might be a bit choosy about his feline pals, there's one special cat that stole his heart - little Emerald.
Emerald, a shy kitty from a hoarding situation, is still learning to trust humans, but she found solace in Earl's companionship. Together, they frolic and play, with Earl being the brave mentor guiding Emerald through the ways of the cat world.
Here's hoping Earl and Emerald can find a serene home together, where Emerald can blossom with time and Earl can continue being the cool cat showing her the ropes.

This is Neville. He was discovered as a stray and was experiencing significant discomfort due to a condition known as Entropion.
Entropion involves the eyelid skin and eyelashes inwardly rubbing against the eye, leading to discomfort and irritation of the cornea, which is the outermost layer of the eye. Typically, Entropion affects the lower eyelid and can manifest in one or both eyes - in Nevilles case, both eyes. Surgical removal of the excess tissue in the eyelids was required to prevent them from rolling in and rubbing on the eye, causing more damage.
The Honey Fund is designated for animals in need, like Neville, of extensive medical interventions such as foreign body removals, pyometra treatment, dental surgeries, amputations, and various other critical procedures. It serves as a lifeline for animals that would otherwise not have the opportunity for a second chance.
Your participation in supporting these animals is greatly appreciated. Kindly click the following link to help us support them in their time of need
