Keeping Cats Homed

08/31/2024

Romeo (1924), who you all named, and Lenny (1895), who we posted about yesterday, will be at Global Pet Foods PEI (Summerside) until 2pm. Come on down for some snuggles and love.

08/30/2024

Lenny (1895) and a camera were meant to go together. He will direct you to ensure you get his best side, as you can see from the pictures below, and loves being involved in everything you do!

Lenny, born 11th April, started his little life not feeling the best. We took him into our care, got him healed up, vaccinated, and spayed, and now he is looking for his furrever home.

If you are looking for a cuddly cat that’s wants to be the subjects of the 1000’s of pictures on your camera roll, he is your man! Apply to become an approved adopter here, keepingcatshomed.com/online-application/ or if you are already approved, your approval lasts 6 months.

Lenny is being fostered with many other cats and a small dog and they get along very well.

What do these cats and shopping have in common?

Ruby (1884) and Blinky (1907) are showing off their cute post-surgery gowns as they got spayed today. Our amazing donors and fundraising activities help to pay for our vet bills and all the things our cats need while with us, including spay/ neuter surgery sometimes.

Our annual auction is a major fundraiser that helps us cover these costs and continue rescuing and rehoming cats in need. The more amazing items we can add to the auction, the more money we can raise to support our furry friends.

That's where you come in! Join our 6 weeks of Purrfect Shopping Parties and help us stock the auction with incredible items. Your shopping can make a real difference.

UPDATE 2: Blinky says thank you Cindy Macleod and as promised here is her meow-deling her new suit.

These surgical suits are always sso helpful, so if you have a spare and would still like to donate them, feel free to drop us a DM and we will let you know where. Thank you all.

UPDATE: Thank you so much everyone! We have had such a lovely bunch of people reach out for Blinky. The location is in Summerside and there is a lovely lady that is in Summerside thay will drop one off. Thank you again!!!! If we still need we will reach out again.

Blinky is not a happy lady in the cone of shame. Does anyone have a recovery/ surgical suit (second picture of black & white cat) they are not using that Blinky can use? She promises to meow-del it for you in exchange.

Today you have another chance to meet Tom (1941).

Tom is the final kitten of the popular 5 that is yet to find his furrever home. He will be at Global Pet Foods PEI (Summerside) from 1 - 4 pm.

1941 - Tom: male, black with a little bit of white on his belly. He may look little but he makes up for it in personality. He has so much to say and feel, he doesn't know how to express himself sometimes. He is vocal and playful, and likes his routine, but is not opposed to being carried around to see what is going on.

08/27/2024

THE UPDATE you have all been waiting for!

After an awesome amount of support for the 5 kittens we posted, 4 have found their furever homes. Emails have been sent out!

We thank you for showing us so much support and patience while you waited to hear back. The response we got was amazing and the team needed time to go over everything.

Even if you were not the final family of these kittens your application is valid for 6 months. So please visit our page to see what cats we currently have available. We will also have new cats going up on the site later this week with more added when they are old enough. So keep an eye out, your purrfect furever friend is still out there.

Now if you got this far you know I said 4… and not 5! So, the adorable 1941- Tom is still available from the original 5. Look at that face!

08/25/2024

In-person snuggles? Yes, Please! Lenny, Penny, and Blinky will be at the PEI Touch A Truck event at Kool Breeze Farms Summerside from 1 - 4pm, helping to ensure that the attendees get the purrs and snuggles they need. Enjoy the day out with the family and please share this great event and let get these amazing babies adopted (we know you guys can do it!).

1895 – Lenny, male, black & white: loves cuddling, following you around the house, being involved in everything you do, and exploring everywhere he can.

1896 – Penny, female, black & white: Her favourite activities include being where you are, sitting on your lap, and being a little princess.

1907 - Blinky, female, black: She is so loving and snuggly and just wants to be on your lap every chance she gets.

All 3 are being fostered in a home with many other cats and a small dog and they all get along really well.

If you would like to adopt any of these 3 beautiful cats, you can apply to be an approved adopter here: keepingcatshomed.com/online-application (applications are valid for 6 months).

08/24/2024

We knew you guys loved kittens but the 5 we posted today are in demand!

We thank everyone who is interested and have filled out the adoption application. The 5 will remain up for 24 hours to give the people who already are pre-approved the opportunity to put their names forward.

Emails will go out Sunday evening/ Monday as the the team needs a little bit of time to go through them. You guys rock!!! We appreciate you all so much!

08/24/2024

This cat was found last evening in Bedeque. If you are missing a cat please contact us. Please share in case This cats owners are missing it.

08/24/2024

Today is the day you have been waiting for! You fell in love with a messy kitten (poopy bum and all)! Well today you get to meet her and her, just as cute, sister! They are also going to be at Global Pet Foods PEI (Summerside) today from 11am - 2pm.

1938 - Blondie: female, calico.
Blondie is very vocal, if you want a kitty that you can have a conversation with, she's your gal! She loves a cuddle but she will let you know when it is time. She is very very food motivated (we saw that dirty mouth, we are not shocked), curious and playful.

1939 - Brownie: female, Calico.
Brownie is the best little snuggle kitty. For her cuddle time is All the time! She will follow you around to ensure she gets the affection you both deserve. She is very playful, active and curious!

Both ladies are being fostered in a home with children, a dog and another adult cat, and they all get along well.

08/24/2024

I hope your plans include kitten snuggles, kisses and purrs today because we are going to have 5 cats at Global Pet Foods PEI (Summerside) , from 11am - 2pm, that you have not met yet. Because there are 5 we will post about them in 2 batches so keep an eye out for our second post (its someone you have been waiting to meet 😉).

1937- Annie: female, muted calico
If you are looking for a companion that you can have a conversation with this is your girl. Ideally, she would like it to be over dinner... or lunch... or snacks (this lady LOVES her cat food and is not shy about it). After a good meal her favorite pastimes are playing and a good snuggle.

1940 - Huck: male, black & white
This handsome guy has a big personality with an even bigger purr (come to global to find out). He is very playful with his favorite toys being crinkle balls. Like his sisters he is not one to turn down a meal or 2 or 3 😄 so if you have treats on you he may just follow you home. He plays well with the adult cats but is still learning about dogs, he not too sure on those.

1941 - Tom: male, black with a little bit of white on his belly.
He may look little but he makes up for it in personality. He has so much to say and feel, he doesn't know how to express himself sometimes. He is vocal and playful, and likes his routine, but is not opposed to being carried around to see what is going on.

If you are interested in adopting any of these cuties, fill out the form here to become an approved adopter keepingcatshomed.com/online-application

We just had to share this too cute update about Patches (the best momma) and her babies from their foster. "Patches is taking a break and the kittens are at the door trying to get out! That’s Oak (see the arrow), and I’m betting he will be the first one to escape.".

Keep an eye on the page and we will let you know who makes the first successful escape.

08/22/2024

Don't forget that we have snuggly, fluffy, purring kittens at Global Pet Foods PEI Summerside until 4pm. If you are around why not get some snuggles.

FYI the cats are your beautifully named Bill, Finnegan, Romeo, and Avee.

08/20/2024

Phil (1930) and Gloria (1932), litter mates, have been living it up since their release from confinement (check back through our reels to see the release).

Phil – male, tabby: an obviously very handsome boy loves to nap with anyone who will allow it. It can be the dog, the resident cats, your lap, if it’s available he will nap on and with it. He also demands the attention of his foster mom who loves to have a good snuggle with him anytime.

Gloria – female, black: The sweetest, prettiest little lady, but don’t let those big eyes and cute looks fool you, she knows how to stand up for herself even against the biggest resident cat and (three-legged) dog. We also believe that she will be a great indoor mouser as when she finds a toy she likes she will growl like an angry bear to protect it.

If you would like to find out more about them visit our adotables page keepingcatshomed.com/adoptables and maybe fill out a form to become an approved adopter while there 😉.

Today's kitten feature brings you 3 adorable cats that epitomise cuddly and snuggly.

1895 – Lenny, male, black & white: You can spot this cute little boy by the small tuft of white fur under his chin, on his side and by his belly. He is such a happy kitty that loves cuddling, following you around the house, being involved in everything you do, and exploring everywhere he can. Did we mention cuddly?

1896 – Penny, female, black & white: This sweet little girl has the most adorable white socks and smudge on her lip. Her favourite activities include being where you are, sitting on your lap, and being a little princess.

1907 - Blinky, female, black: This lovely, sweet lady, has an amazing temperament. She is so loving and snuggly and just wants to be on your lap every chance she gets.

All 3 are being fostered in a home with many other cats and a small dog and they all get along really well.

Today’s kitty features are all about Arrow and Ruby.

Arrow (1899), male, black & white – is just the sweetest. He loves attention and will always come for a snuggle. Anything that rolls becomes his favourite toy, and he is amazing with other cats and kids. *Watch his video below to see how good he is at yoga too.

Ruby (1884) female, tortoise shell - This little lady loves to play and is going to ensure the other kitties get in on the action. She is very sweet and loves to sleep close to her foster at night. If you want to hear her (very cute) purr, head and ear rubs are her favourite. *Ensure to keep the volume up to hear Ruby’s purr.

If you would like to find out more, you can read about them on our website keepingcatshomed.com/adoptables (adoption form at the top of the page too 😉)

Keep an eye on our posts over the next few days as each cat will have their own wheel of fortune... for their names 😁.

Thank you so much for all the help! We appreciate the amazing community we have here.
