Give Sesame a little patience and a lot of love and he’ll be your snuggly sidekick in no time!

Sesame is a six-month-old cat who might take a moment to warm up but once he does, he’ll melt right into your lap and your heart. Beneath his shy exterior is an affectionate cuddle bug who lives for snuggle sessions and cozy naps beside his favourite people. When he’s not soaking up your attention, you’ll find him chasing after his toys with enthusiasm. Sesame is ready to find a home where he can feel safe, loved and free to show off his sweet, playful side!

It’s National Shelter Appreciation Week!

This week, we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible teams at the OHS that make second chances possible for Ottawa’s animals.

Today, we’re celebrating our animal care team — the dedicated staff who ensure every animal in our care is safe, comfortable and well-loved.

From daily feedings and cleaning to enrichment, monitoring health, and so much more, this team works to give Ottawa’s animals the love and care they deserve.

Thank you to our animal care team for all that you do to make Ottawa’s animals feel safe, happy and cared for every single day!

Meet Preetie! He’s a four-year-old cat looking for his forever home. This sweet but shy boy thrives in calm, quiet environments where he can come out of his shell at his own pace. With a little patience, some tasty treats and a few gentle cheek scritches, his loving personality shines. Once he’s comfortable, this precious boy becomes a total lap cat! He loves to lay on a cozy lap and soaking up all affection you have to give. His soft purrs and gentle nature are sure to steal your heart.

*Warning: graphic images*

Maedder arrived at the OHS in critical condition. He was suffering from a gaping neck wound. The cause? A swallowed sewing needle.

The curious one-year-old kitty swallowed a piece of thread with a needle still attached. As it went down, the needle tore through the skin on his neck and he was rushed to the OHS for help.

The OHS veterinary team worked quickly to safely remove the needle and thread, and placed a tube to drain fluid from the wound. After getting stitches to close the wound, he’s now doing much better and is back to his sweet, happy self.

Thanks to the emergency medical care he got at the OHS, Maedder got a second chance.
