🐈Meet "Mitten" - she's our Y919 Pet of the Week and she really needs a new forever home. 🐈

Mitten is a sweet and soulful 2-year-old beauty with a heart as warm as her name suggests. She’s been patiently waiting over 100 days at the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes, and we can’t wait to help her find the loving home she deserves.

With her calm and gentle nature, Mitten is the purrfect companion for quiet evenings and peaceful mornings. She enjoys her independence, taking time to explore her surroundings at her own pace. She’s also happy to curl up near you for a cozy petting session. She’s not one for being picked up (respect her paws-on-the-ground policy, please!), but give her space and she’ll reward you with affection, loyalty, and the sweetest purrs.

Did we mention she’s polydactyl? That means she has an adorable extra thumb on one paw—the very reason she’s named Mitten (not Mittens)! It’s a charming little quirk that makes her extra special.

Mitten is the ideal cat for someone who appreciates a little independence, but still wants a friendly, loving presence in their home. She’s mellow, low-maintenance, and has so much love to give—you just have to meet her!

After more than 100 days in care, it’s her turn to shine. Could you be the one to give this lovely girl the forever home she’s been waiting for?

Meet Mitten at the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes today. Let’s get this sweet girl adopted!

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day from HSKL!

Just a Husky living their best life—cool water, warm sunset, and all the freedom a Canadian summer brings.

We’re wishing everyone a safe and happy Canada Day! However you celebrate, keep your pets cool, calm, and close. Fireworks may be fun for us, but they can be scary for our furry friends.

Here’s to community, compassion, and the animals who make life better. ❤

Dog Fosters Needed 🐾

We need fosters now. Whether it’s for a week, a month, or until adoption, opening your home gives a dog a chance to decompress, get noticed, and feel like they belong.

Some of our dogs have been waiting for months to find a home. Fostering provides them with the space and care they need to thrive, and in turn, it helps us save even more lives.

We’ll provide everything—food, supplies, vet care. You just give them a place to land.

📩 Email [email protected] if you can help. Even one dog out makes room for another to get the help they need.

They've Waited Long Enough

These are the faces of the forgotten, the animals at HSKL who’ve been passed by day after day.

They’ve watched others go home. They’ve sat patiently in their kennels, hoping today would be their turn. Still they wait.

They are loving, deserving, and so ready for a second chance.

To help them find their families, we’re offering special adoption rates for these long-term residents.

They just need someone to show up and care.

Let’s start the summer off right—by getting these amazing animals home.

Please don’t scroll past them again. Come meet them. Change their story.

Some of our animals need surgeries before they’re ready for adoption—and after that, they need a quiet, comforting place to heal.

We’re looking for foster homes that can offer stability, patience, and a little extra care during recovery for both dogs and cats. We provide all supplies and cover all medical costs—you just provide the love.

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.
