Special Cat Saturday featuring our sweet girl, Juliette💕
Please share to help find Juliette's forever home!

Juliette is such a loveable cat. She is super playful and loves chasing after toys. She is full of energy and loves to explore. She gets along great with other cats and dogs once introduced properly. Juliette is very affectionate and enjoys a good snuggle. She purrs so loud and gives kisses. Juliette loves treats and is very food motivated! This sweet girl can’t wait to find her people.

Juliette is one of our special needs cats. She is on daily medication (fluoxetine) to reduce stress, and urinary food as she was diagnosed with feline idiopathic cystitis. When she came to the shelter, she was suffering from a kidney infection caused by a severe untreated urinary infection. Juliette will need to continue on fluoxetine and urinary food for the rest of her life. Juliette will require a home that can provide regular veterinary care for her, and routine wellness visits to ensure her urine infections remain clear.

Juliette is up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, spayed, and dewormed. To fill out an application for Juliette, please visit our website at https://www.thekenoracatshelter.com/adoption-application

Meet our laid back girl, Eclipse🖤
Please share to help find Eclipse's forever home!

She is a resilient and sweet black cat with a heart full of potential. She was once a feral kitten found at a dump, but after many months of patience and care, she has blossomed into a shy, loving companion. It’s taken her some time to feel safe, but now she’s ready to find her forever home. Eclipse loves to play, especially on higher up perches where she can observe her surroundings from a safe distance. Once she’s gotten to know you, her affectionate side truly shines through, and she’ll reward you with quiet, tender moments of love. Eclipse would thrive in a calm and quiet home where she can take her time adjusting to her new life. Ideally, she would do best as the only pet, in an environment where she feels secure and understood. With patience and a gentle touch, Eclipse will become a devoted and sweet companion, and she’s sure to bring peace and joy to the right home.

Eclipse is up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, spayed, and dewormed. To fill out an application for Eclipse, please visit our website at https://www.thekenoracatshelter.com/adoption-application

Meet our goofy guy, Ferg💗
Please share to help find Ferg's forever home!

Ferg is the goofiest boy at the shelter! He loves to play with toys, stealing them from his neighbours toy box and then tossing them up in the air and catching them. He has lots of energy and will somersault off of his bed and jump in the air but if you look over, he freezes thinking we didn't just see all of that. Ferg loves his hammock time and is often lying in it hanging upside down and watching us.

Ferg was found as a feral cat at a garbage dump. It has taken him months to come out of his shell and show his true personality. Since he was originally feral, he needs some time to warm up and feel safe but he gets braver and goofier every day! Ferg can still play a bit rough so a home without kids is best. He would likely do really well with other cats and dogs though!

Ferg is up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, neutered, and dewormed. To fill out an application for Ferg, please visit our website at https://www.thekenoracatshelter.com/adoption-application

Meet this beautiful girl, Gina🥰
Please share to help find Gina's forever home!

She is a sweet and reserved calico with a heart full of love, just waiting to find her forever home. Gina is an independent spirit who appreciates a peaceful environment and will need a bit of time to adjust to new people and surroundings. Though she can be shy at first, once she feels comfortable, she’ll show her affectionate side and become a loving companion. Gina thrives in a calm, quiet home and would do best as the only cat, where she can fully relax and bond with her humans. Due to her more reserved nature, she would be happiest in a home without children. If you're looking for a gentle and loving cat who will gradually warm up to you, Gina is the perfect match!

Gina is up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, spayed, and dewormed. To fill out an application for Gina, please visit our website at https://www.thekenoracatshelter.com/adoption-application

Special cat Saturday featuring this handsome guy, Uh-Oh🫶
Please share to help find Uh-Oh's forever home!

Uh-Oh came to us with severe head wounds from an animal attack and was suffering from blastomycosis in his eyes and wounds. He spent months recovering and learning how to adapt to becoming a fully blind cat. Now that Uh-Oh is fully recovered, and blasto negative, he is ready to find his forever home!! Uh-Oh is very talkative, and loves to have full conversations. He will pick up on sounds to follow you around the house and to find out where to step. He is very playful and loves finding toy mice around the house - he throws them up in the air and hunts them. Uh-Oh is extremely affectionate, he likes to bury his head into you and knead on your lap - purring non stop. He loves his belly being rubbed and lies on his back soaking it all in. Uh-Oh is velvet soft, and has the silkiest black coat.

Since Uh-Oh is completely blind, he will need a special owner that can take the time to teach him the layout of their house - but he is a fast learner! Uh-Oh would do best in a house without other cats as unfortunately, he can play very aggressive but he does do well with big dogs! Uh-Oh has ongoing congestion due to the injuries he suffered to his nose/forehead that crushed his nasal cavities - this gave him a really cute congested meow but he will need close monitoring of his eyes and nose for the rest of his life. This boy is an absolute gem and he would be the best cat for the right family.

Uh-Oh is up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, neutered, and dewormed. To fill out an application for Uh-Oh, please visit our website at https://www.thekenoracatshelter.com/adoption-application
