Before he went into remission, people would ask how difficult it was to give Nardole his insulin needle. This video shows the most "difficult" part--setting up the syringe with his insistent contribution to the process.

There is so much to love about Pride. He is affectionate and gentle - a kneading machine. He loves to play and chase the wand toy. And he is a great companion, chirping for pets when you wake up in the morning and return home at the end of the day. What's not to love?

Pride is a very chirpy fellow. A chirp can mean many things: "please pet me again!" "Oh, that's nice!" "Can you pet me please?" "Thank you for the pets!" Read about Pride here: https://www.facebook.com/share/15nQtbzo4s/?

Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue

About Our Programs

Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue (OSCatR) is a non-profit charitable organization (NO. 83641 4573 RR0001) which is dedicated to getting adoptable cats off the streets and into homes in and around the National Capital Region, as well as managing feral cat colonies in this area. Every effort is made to adopt cats into indoor homes through our Adoption Program.

In the course of our work, however, we occasionally encounter feral cats that we are unable to socialize to humans and which are not suitable for adoption into a home. These cats form the basis of many of the community cat colonies which we monitor around the city. Cats in these colonies go through our Trap-Neuter-Release Program (TNR).

Unfortunately some of these community cats need to be relocated from their outdoor homes due to dangerous conditions such as: traffic on a busy road, construction, demolition of their shelter, predators in the area. Once these cats have been rescued and assessed to be unsuitable for an indoor home, they are relocated to carefully monitored outdoor homes through our Feral Cat Relocation Program.
