My Grandfather's Cat

12/12/2024

This holiday season, you can give cats like Fiona the gift that means the most – a loving home 🎁

When her senior human became unwell and had to move into a care home, sweet 14-year old Fiona was in need of a home. Her granddaughter initially adopted her, but when Fiona didn’t get along with the other cats in the house, she knew she had to find a home for Fiona where she would be happy and thrive. That’s when she decided to contact My Grandfather’s Cat.

Your support allowed us to provide our free rehoming service and we found her second forever home for Fiona with Dan. Now, more than a year later, Fiona is thriving in her second forever home. She even recently became a big sister.

”I had a moment of weakness after seeing her post. She settled in very well. She’s by my side whether she is sleeping or not,” says Dan. “I don’t think things could have gone better.”

No cat deserves to lose their human, but every cat deserves a second forever home. Together, we can give them the gift that means the most. Give Now:

Success Story 🤍

When a senior lady could no longer care for her beloved cats, Benny and Melody, she contacted My Grandfather’s Cat to find them a second forever home. She began working with our volunteer, Jordan, to find them a second forever home in Ontario.

Jordan created their profile and it was posted on MGC’s website one evening. The early next morning, a couple named Tracy and Bob were looking on our website and fell in love with Benny and Melody. They emailed Jordan that morning.

Jordan just happened to see their email and had time to interview them that morning, so they set up a time to chat an hour later. Jordan determined they were lovely and a perfect fit, and passed their information along to the senior lady shortly after the call. The senior lady reached out to them the very same day, and by the end of that day Tracy and Bob were on their way home with Benny and Melody.

After their whirlwind adoption, Benny and Melody settled in and are thriving in their second forever home and are deeply loved by their new humans.

“Benny is a love bug and spends as much time as he can curled up on my husbands lap. Melody is a shy girl, but now two months in her new home, she is finally showing us her affection. These two babies have made our home so much happier. We thank you for your organization.”

❄ Snowy is 4-year-old, white long-haired Persian girl. While she can be a little shy at first, once she gets to know you, she is sweet girl who loves to cuddle and stay close to her human. She is the perfect love bug to snuggle with on cold winter nights.

URGENT: As their adoption has fallen through, and their terminally ill human has a date set for MAID in a few weeks, these sweet, young boys are in urgent need of a second forever home.

Odo and Q-Tip were both proudly foster fails by their human who fostered them both as kittens. They both love to be loved and given attention. They are also lovingly named after Star Trek.

🖤 Odo is a four year old big ball of love who likes to spend his days with an even mix of independence, love and snacks. He likes to spend time alone, but will also not take no for an answer when he is feeling snuggly and wants to curl up on his humans’ lap. Odo takes his title of big ball of love seriously and is around 25 lbs. He would benefit from a diet – although his human has tried and he is not a fan of reducing his snacks.

🤍 Q-Tip is a three year old velcro cat who, unlike his brother, never wants to be independent. He loves to be with his human at all times. He follows his human around, sleeps on her face at night, can never get enough attention and is simply always available for love. Unlike his brother, he prioritizes love over snacks and is a healthy weight.

Location: Hamilton, Ontario
Availability: December 2024

🏡 Odo and Q-Tip are looking for a second forever home together with humans who can give them all the love and snacks they deserve. They are ideally looking for a home without other animals or young children.

💕 When he needs more love and pets, he becomes a vocal boy and will be sure to get your attention. No matter where you are, Bandit will be close by. He does well in a busy environment and will simply snuggle in his bed when needed. He enjoys playing with cats toys and laying on the back deck, where he can soak up the sun and watch the birds pass by.

Location: Waterloo, Ontario
