We have some AMAZING kittens in care still looking for their FURever homes. Kittens have A LOT of energy, so we do recommend that they are adopted with a buddy or go to a home where there is already another pet who will engage in play. A bored kitten can get into a lot more mischief.

If you are interested in any of these kittens, please reach out to us at 236-508-2287 / [email protected] The kittens CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU!

We had an absolute BLAST at our Whiskers 'Cats of Summer' day yesterday. Thanks so much to everyone who came out to meet our kittens!

Seville (orange and white) and Mandarin - both boys - LOVED all of the attention yesterday. They were ready for a nap as soon as they got back to their foster home, that's for sure! While we had lots of folks interested in ONE of the boys, we are really hoping that they can go home together. As you can see below, they are quite fond of each other.

If you might be interested in meeting them, please reach out to us at [email protected] or via phone / text to 236-508-2287

Seville and Mandarin CAN'T WAIT to meet you!

We had TWO kittens go home today! We are just THRILLED!!!

Congratulations to cutie pie Ruby (our first Isabella Pt Rd kitten) who went home with Chantalle and Jules. Thanks to Joni, Michael and Zavy for being such awesome fosters to this litter of kittens.

And congratulations to sweet Blackburn (Bernie) who went off on the ferry to Vancouver today with Cathie and her family. Thanks to new fosters Rain and River for teaching Bernie how to love people! He's so snuggly!

We have many more kittens available for adoption. Please email us at [email protected] or, if you're on Salt Spring, drop by to Whiskers Pet Store on Tuesdays from 12:30 - 3:30 for our weekly adoption events!

UPDATE - Clementine has gone home! YAY! Her brothers, Mandarin & Seville, are still waiting for their PURRfect home....maybe it could be with you?

************************************************************

Happy CAT-urday from 'The Oranges: Clementine, Mandarin, and Seville'. These 3 siblings - one girl and two boys - came into our care along with their mom cat (who is named KitKat!).

These awesome were about 9 weeks when they came to us and they did so great in their foster home. All three kittens are so snuggly and affectionate. They were spayed and neutered last week and are now ready to move on to their FURever homes.

If you would like more information about these kittens, please drop us an email - [email protected] or call / text to 236-508-2287

You can come and meet them at our 'Cats of Summer' event this coming Tuesday July 30th @ Whiskers Pet Store. We will be set there from 12:30 - 3:30 p.m.

We wanted to take the time to provide an update on Spirit - the senior boy who joined our Rescue as a Lifetime Foster.

Sweet Spirit has found the PURRfect home with Barb and Rob. Just look at how settled he is on Rob's lap. Spirit shares the home with two senior dogs. Once the dogs acknowledged his leadership position in the home, things have gone very smoothly. Spirit sleeps all night on the bed with Hank (one of the dogs).

Thank you so much, Barb and Rob, for welcoming this senior guy into your family. We are so grateful.

Congratulations to Cinnamon and Anise, our first two of Lady Capulet’s kittens to go to their FURever home!

We are thrilled that they are staying here on Salt Spring with Megan and her family!

Thanks so much to their foster family - Belle, Irja and Tom - for giving these kittens (and their siblings!) so much love!

Congratulations to ‘Candy Kittens’ Skittle and Gumball who went off to their FURever homes in Nanaimo and Victoria respectively today.

Thanks to adopters Joseph and Chantal for meeting us in Crofton. These kittens had an exciting morning - a ferry ride and then off for a car ride!

Still looking for a kitten for your family? We have several other litters in care that will be ready to go home in the coming weeks. Reach out to us at [email protected] or via phone / text to 236-508-2287

After all of our recent posts about kittens and kitten adoptions, we wanted to highlight an older gentleman who has recently come into our care: Norman.

We will soon be looking for a 'lifetime foster' placement for Norman, whereby you (the foster) would provide him with a safe, cozy and loving home, and we (the Rescue) would make sure that all of Norman's medical needs are looked after for the rest of his life. We can even provide all of the supplies (food, litter, etc) if needed.

Norman has lived a long and hard life fending for himself. He's ready to be pampered in his golden years. Are you looking for a sweet and gentle companion?

Congratulations to all of our AMAZING adopters and the lucky kittens that went home with them. WE HAD EIGHT (yes 8!) kitten adoptions finalized last week. Our whole 'Bright Spots in the Night Sky' litter found their FURever homes, plus 'Crackle and Pop' (from our Snap, Crackle & Pop litter). We have included a few pics from the adoptions below...still waiting for some to come in!

If you are still looking for a kitten to join your family this summer, don't worry.....we have more kittens still available. Come on down to Whiskers Pet Store Tuesday afternoons (2 - 4:30 p.m.) to meet some of them!

Thanks as always to our amazing foster families who volunteer their hearts and their homes to help us with all of these cats and kittens.....we couldn't do this work without you!

Sweet Ruby is one of our "Isabella Pt" kittens, rescued off the roof of a shed earlier this spring. Ruby and her siblings, Meadow and Mountain, have been having a BLAST at foster Joni's house.

Ruby will be joining us this Tuesday, July 16th @ Whiskers Pet Store for our 'Cats of Summer' meet & greet event.

Ruby CAN'T WAIT to meet you!

Adorable Gumball (one of Juliette's Candy Kittens) is the last available kitten in the litter. If you are looking to add a new furry friend to your family, maybe you want to meet Gumball.

This litter was born in care (their mom was trapped when she was VERY pregnant) and has been cared for by Juliette (the mom cat) and our amazing foster duo Jo and Jason!

Jo describes Gumball as sweet and playful. "He's an absolute purr machine". Jason cradles him like a baby and he LOVES it.

Gumball will be out at our Tuesday Cats of Summer adoption event on Tuesday July 16th. If you are interested in adopting him, please complete our 'Adoption Application' (which can be downloaded from our website) https://catsofsaltspring.com/adopt

Please email your completed application to us at [email protected] and we will give you a call to discuss!

Gumball looks forward to meeting you on Tuesday @ Whiskers

Our amazing ginger Carrot moved into foster-to-adopt placement with Joann and Aaron yesterday on Pender. We could not be more thrilled for our Carrot.

Carrot came into our care in March of this year and was so frightened and reactive. It turned out that Carrot had two retained testicles which were removed by our awesome vets @ Mayne Island Vet Clinic. And what a difference this made!

Joann knew that Carrot was the cat for their family…..just check out that tattoo!!!

Fingers crossed that Carrot settles in well with the other resident cats at their house…..stay tuned!

Congratulations to our boy Dale on his adoption by Pat and Stan!

Dale went into foster to adopt for a month first, just to make sure it was a PURRfect fit. Needless to say, Dale now has THE MOST AMAZING home!

Congratulations Dale. We wish you all a lifetime of happiness!

Are you looking to add an adult cat to your family? We have some amazing cats still looking for their FURever homes.....please reach out at 236-508-2287 / [email protected]

Our ‘Bright Spots in the Night Sky’ litter have so much fun at Mary’s.

These kittens will be spayed / neutered later this week and then will be ready to go home!

If you are looking for a new kitten or two, three of these guys are still available.

Please email us at [email protected] or call / text to 236-508-2287 for more information about these fabulous kittens!

Happy CATurday everyone. We hope that everyone is keeping cool and safe through these hot days.

Just a reminder that tomorrow (Sunday July 7th) is our bottle drive @ Return It (from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.).

Given the heat, we would LOVE for folks to please drop off to us in the AM if possible. Someone will be down at Return It at 9:30 a.m., if you want to drop early.

This is a really important fundraiser for us - we are using funds raised through this bottle drive to fund Basil's eye surgery. Please help Basil SEE THE LIGHT by bringing us your refundables tomorrow.

If you would like to make a donation toward Basil's surgery cost, you can make an e-transfer ([email protected]) or you can make a donation through Canada Helps - https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/cats-of-salt-spring-rescue-society

Thanks so much to Brooke and Ty for sending us these awesome pics of their two cats - Bagheera and Sherekhan and their awesome dog Huck (short for Huckleberry Finn!).

We recently helped Brooke & Ty with spaying their two young cats.

If you need help getting your cat or kitten spayed or neutered, please reach out to us. Remember waiting until they are six months old is too late - kittens can have kittens when they are just FOUR MONTHS OLD!

We are here to help community members who need assistance with their cats or kittens - to ensure that they are fixed before they start having babies!

Happy CAT-urday from our "Bright Spots in the Night Sky" litter, who will be ready to go home in the next two weeks. Introducing Cloud (M, the fluffy grey kitten), and his black short-haired, medium haired, and long haired siblings: Moon (DMH, F), Star (DSH, F), Comet (DMH, M), Mars (DSH, M) and Venus (DLH, F).

These kittens are ABSOLUTE LOVEBUGS. They were raised in a foster mom's home, where they were looked after by their OWN mom cat and their amazing foster family. They are used to kids and LOTS of snuggling and play.

This litter of kittens will be joining us at the first day of our CATS OF SUMMER promotion at Whiskers Pet Store this coming Tuesday July 2nd. (Remember, we will be at Whiskers Pet Store every Tuesday this summer (2 - 4:30 p.m.), with some of our amazing adult cats and kittens available for adoption).

Come and meet your new BFFF (best feline furever friend!).

Thanks to our incredible foster mom, Mary, for fostering another litter of kittens. Including these kittens, Mary has now fostered (are you ready for it?) SIXTY ONE (61) cats and kittens since the start of our Rescue back in 2021. THANK YOU MARY!!
