Zoodles Is Worth It 🧔

Zoodles is a senior orange cat—which already makes him special. Orange cats come with built-in charm, and Zoodles has plenty of it. He’s sweet, affectionate, and still full of life. He doesn’t need much—just a warm place to nap, a kind human to love, and someone who sees him for who he is, not what diagnosis he carries.

Yes, Zoodles is hyperthyroid. And no, that is not a reason to pass him by. His condition is well-managed with daily medication that’s affordable and easy to give. It’s not a big deal—but it’s the one thing that’s kept too many people from giving him a second glance.

Zoodles isn’t broken. He’s not hard work. He’s just a senior cat with a common condition who wants the same thing every shelter pet wants: a soft landing. A family. A home where he’s finally chosen for good.

If you believe every life has value—regardless of age or medical needs—then Zoodles is your cat.

Chauncey is the last of his siblings still waiting—a one-year-old Pyrenees mix who survived the storm but hasn’t yet found his forever warmth. šŸ’”

While his brothers ran into new lives, Chauncey stayed behind, quiet and unsure, hoping someone would see the gentle soul behind his unsure eyes. He’s not broken—just waiting for someone to believe in him. 🐶

With love and patience, he’ll be your most loyal companion. Be the reason Chauncey learns the world is safe. He’s ready when you are. šŸ’™

ā˜€ļø Sunny Sundays are better with a best friend like Charlie ā˜€ļø

This gorgeous girl knows how to relax in style. Charlie spent her Sunday soaking up the sunshine and dreaming of a forever home—one with a comfy chair, a warm breeze, and a human who loves a good lounge session as much as she does.

Charlie is sweet, loyal, and has just the right amount of sass to keep life interesting. She's ready to be by your side, whether you're into weekend chill time or exploring new trails.

🐾 Available for adoption but is currently. Please call us at 705-878-4618 or email [email protected] to book a meet and greet.

🐾 Meet Mitten – A Shy Beauty with a Little Something Extra 🐾

Mitten is a 3-year-old sweetheart with a quiet spirit and the most charming little secret — she has extra toes! That’s right, this lovely polydactyl cat has adorable mitten-like paws that only add to her unique charm.

Mitten is on the shy side and takes her time getting to know people. She’s not the type to demand attention, but she truly blossoms in a calm, patient home where she can feel safe. Once she trusts you, you'll get to see the gentle, affectionate side that makes her so special — soft purrs, slow blinks, and quiet companionship.

She prefers to keep her paws on the ground and appreciates being admired from a respectful distance until she’s ready for more. Mitten would do best in a peaceful home with someone who understands that love and trust take time, and that the quietest cats often make the most devoted companions.

Mitten is ready to tiptoe her way into someone’s heart — could that someone be you?

It’s National Volunteer Week!
Catch up with the HSKL ā€œOther Duties as Requiredā€ Crew. Sometimes it’s not enough to be a part-time employee, you want to be a volunteer too!

Sherry’s dedication to HSKL can’t be easily calculated, but the extra hours she spends fostering, running errands and keeping the books add up to hero status.

Jacqueline and her ā€œfoster failā€ Sunny love to catch up with their friends in assisted living facilities for gentle pats and heartwarming chats.

And Carrie, Mother of Foster Dragons, puts in countless hours finding foster homes for our littlest of littles, our oldest of olds, and everybody in between … and takes the best care of our foster parents!

🐾 Meet Old Man Boone – 15 Years Young and Full of Love 🐾

Don’t let the silver fur fool you — Boone still has plenty of heart to give. This handsome grey shorthair gentleman is 15 years young and looking for a quiet, loving home to spend his golden years.

Boone is the kind of cat who doesn’t ask for much — a cozy spot to nap, a gentle hand to pet him, and someone to remind him that he's still got a place in the world. He’s calm, affectionate, and endlessly charming in that wise, old-soul way.

After a life of adventures, Boone deserves comfort, companionship, and the kind of love that only gets stronger with age. If you’ve got room in your heart and home for a senior sweetheart, come meet Old Man Boone. He’s ready to be someone’s best friend — maybe yours?

Let’s give this old soul the retirement he deserves.

About the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes (HSKL)

We adopt out animals that have been surrendered, abandoned and abused. All of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped and given appropriate vaccinations, before going to their forever homes. We also accept animals that need to be re-homed, due to a variety of reasons.
