Calling all Swifties! 👀
Furry Tales is gearing up for ✨Swiftmas✨, and we’ve got kitties waiting to make your wildest dreams come true. Are you ready for it? 😉

💜🔮 Autumn ✨🎆 — Miss Autumn is a gentle, loving mama to Winter and is ready for her own fairytale, just like Speak Now (Autumn’s Version). Her stunning emerald eyes and soft grey fur will enchant you, and her playful nature makes Sparks Fly! Loyal and affectionate, Autumn makes every day feel like a love-filled ballad. Maybe you could exchange friendship bracelets?

🐈‍⬛💙 Winter 🍷🌙 — Handsome Winter embodies the mysteries of Midnights, bringing the playful chaos of Mastermind to every game of chase. His curiosity and energy are as dazzling as Lavender Haze, but beneath it lies a soft side full of Sweet Nothing moments, where he curls up for quiet companionship. With Winter, every midnight is a chance for a new adventure—or some relaxing downtime.

💖🌸 Aurora 🦋💫 — She’s in her Lover girl era! This sweet, delicate lady embodies the gentle, warm-hearted spirit of Daylight. Though she’s not the biggest fan of being picked up, she’s a hopeless romantic, chirping to greet her foster family and loving a good Temptations treat. Her love language is head scratches, pets, and rubbing up against you. Aurora even serenades with purring! 🥰 It’s Nice to Have a Friend, but Aurora could also do well as an only cat.

🖤🌚 Izzy 🌟🌌 — Izzy, Aurora’s little shadow, has a Reputation for being a sweetheart! She’s an energetic kitten who loves the thrill of the chase—wand toys, crinkly balls, or playful wrestling with her mom. This Gorgeous girl is adventurous but also adores being pet. She even runs to her fosters when they call her name! Don’t Blame Me if she steals your heart with her playful antics.

Ready for your love story to begin? Don’t Shake it Off—apply to adopt these sweethearts now at furry-tales.ca!

Want to know the secret to a perfect loaf of love? 🍞 We’ve been hiding it from you this whole time, but we’ve decided to finally share it with you:

1️⃣Add 1 Farro, Spelt, and/or Quinoa 🌾
2️⃣Mix in lots of pets & snuggles 😻
3️⃣Sprinkle with a healthy amount of cat treats! 🍬

We promise it’s the best recipe! The Grain Sisters, Farro, Spelt, and Quinoa (born August 20th, 2024), are ready to fill your heart! 👩‍🍳 These girls are full of love and excited to meet their new families. Could it be with you?

Farro (black kitty, female) can be a bit shy at first, but once she gets comfortable with you, she loves being held and petted, turning into the loudest purring machine you’ve ever heard. 🥰 When the mood takes her, she can’t resist hunting wand toys from inside her little cat tent! What a cutie!

Spelt (tuxedo kitty, female) is the master loaf maker of the three. 🍞 She makes sure every loaf is 10/10, and makes it look easy too! She is very social, and can be found snuggling with her sisters all the time. She’s such a sweetheart, it’s hard to not fall in love with her!

Quinoa (grey kitty, female) is full of energy. 😸 She loves having fun, especially with toys that have bells in them. She goes nuts for jingly worms on a string! She’s extremely soft and can often be found cuddling her sisters when she’s not playing.

If you knead some loving, these beauties are the perfect ingredient for your family. Farro, Spelt, and Quinoa are ready to meet you at our adoption location at the Heron PetSmart (located at 1600 Heron Road in Ottawa). 💕 To apply to adopt, please visit our website: furry-tales.ca/adoption-application-form/.

These two are an absolute riot! They are always playing and getting into mischief together. It is NEVER a dull moment when Marvel and Taz are around. Being one-eyed doesn't slow them down at all.

Patrick's Journey: From Orphan to Part of a Feline Family!

⭐️ Meet Patrick, our absolutely adorable polydactyl orange kitten who found himself all alone in Gatineau at just a few weeks old. But his story took a heartwarming turn on October 25, when he joined our rescue family—and was accepted by Moira, a dedicated young momma cat barely more than a kitten herself! Moira, born in January, accepted Patrick instantly, bringing her into care along with her own kittens, Alexis and David (born September 17).

Patrick is now thriving alongside his new siblings, learning all the ins and outs of kittenhood and growing up in a loving, safe environment. At just 7 weeks, he’s got a little ways to go before he’s ready for adoption, but he’s already showing so much progress! With Moira’s guidance, Patrick has begun his road to full health, recently receiving his first deworming treatment after a roundworm diagnosis. A reminder to all—no kitten comes “free.” Every tiny life needs care and attention, just like Patrick. 🥰

👀 Stay tuned as Patrick continues his journey, getting ready for his forever home. He gives his multiple thumbs up to everyone that’s helped him so far!

🐾 To learn more or donate to support his care, visit Furry-Tales.ca!

🚨Urgent Plea for Help! 🚨

Second Chances Animal Rescue is in a cat crisis in the Wabos and Searchmount area, north of Sault Ste. Marie. Feral cat populations are unmanageable and continue to surge, spilling into private properties and stretching already scarce resources to their very limit. They have reached out to Furry Tales Cat Rescue for our help with a feral cat colony. Despite previous efforts to rescue kittens from the colony, many cats were left behind to continue populating.

We have pledged to help get 20 of the colony cats vaccinated, spayed, neutered, and then returned. While we would love to be able to socialize the 20 cats—or even all 75 of them—the harsh reality is that we simply cannot bring them all inside. Some have never lived inside and are fearful of humans. Sometimes, the solution is TNR (trap-neuter-return) to end the cycle of suffering and overpopulation. With limited funds and no provincial or federal funding, we desperately need your support to get these vulnerable cats spayed, neutered, and vaccinated.

To help Second Chance Animal Rescue itwill cost Furry Tales AT LEAST $4,000—likely more. We are urgently requesting any amount that you can spare for these innocent souls.

"Saving one cat may not change the world, but for that one cat, the world has changed forever."
Here are several ways you can donate:

💕Canada Helps Page: CanadaHelps.org/en/dn/34278 (or link in bio)

💕Paypal: Paypal.com/ca/fundraiser/charity/3432016 (or link in bio)

💕E-transfer: [email protected]

All donations above $20 can be issued a tax receipt. If you are unable to donate please like, comment and share.

Your donation can make all the difference—helping us manage this situation humanely and effectively, and give these cats a chance at a better life. Every contribution counts. 🙏

Meet Nona (f) and Vision (m), the playful and loving sibling duo ready to find their furever home! Born in April 2024, these energetic 7-month-old kittens are at an adorable age and are full of charm!

Nona, the dainty princess, is shy yet sweet. She loves to spend her time quietly observing the world from the window ledge. How cute!

Vision, her larger, more adventurous brother, compliments her sweetness purrfectly! He loves a good game of tag and goes wild for the laser pointer!

Both kittens enjoy exploring, chasing each other around the house, and taking part in kitchen antics as “Sous-Chefs” while you cook. After a day of fun, Nona and Vision will curl up by your side for cozy snuggles.

They’ve even befriended a 14-year-old dog, reflecting their easy-going nature and love for furry companions of all shapes and sizes.

Could Nona and/or Vision be the perfect fit for your family? Let’s give these adorable siblings the loving home they deserve! 🐾 Apply to adopt at furry-tales.ca/adoption-application-form.

Note: Furry Tales requires all kittens to be adopted with a playful companion or for there to be a friendly feline already in the adoptive home. Kittens are social beings, and companionship is an important part of their healthy development.

Are you looking for a cat that has it all? Misty (born March 1st, 2024) might be the perfect cat for your home! ☁️✨

☁️ Misty ☁️ came to Furry Tales with her sister Sasha (pending adoption) as an owner surrender. Misty is ready to find her new forever home. She is so cute, friendly, confident, playful, and cuddly. She loves to chat with you! She’s friendly with other cats and is a pro with scratching posts. She will definitely need at least one feline companion in her new home to play and snuggle with!

Were you worried that you missed Misty at the Heron PetSmart? Don’t fret, she is headed to PetSmart Merivale (1585 Merivale Rd, Ottawa) where she will be on the lookout for a forever home. If that's you, head to our website today at furry-tales.ca and fill out an adoptions application!

15/11/2024

Is Poppy trying to replace ? Nah, she's just trying to get adopted! Poppy and her mom Pixi are waiting for their family at PetSmart Merivale (1585 Merivale Rd, Ottawa).

Mom Pixi (2023-11-03) is a gorgeous dilute tortie. She is petite, not much bigger than the kittens! Pixi purrs the second you are in the room. She loves pets and loves to cuddle. When not cuddling, she is snoozing in comfy beds! She is friendly with all the cats in the playroom and would do well in a multi-cat household.

Baby Poppy (2024-08-18) inherited her mom's gorgeous dilute tortie coat. Poppy is equal parts playful and cuddly. One minute she is running around the playroom, the next she is sleepily kneading in a bed. This little girl will need a playmate and companion in her new home.

Apply now to adopt Pixi and Poppy at furry-tales.ca.

Let’s give a warm welcome to all the new cats in our care this week!

Queen comes in with her babies Duece (male), Hearts (female), Spades (female), and Jacks (female). We are unsure of Queens approximate age.

Ribbon is a 2 year old calico who comes to us with her 4 kittens from Gatineau! Her babies are Braid (female), Cord (male), Knot (female), and Twine (female), each approximately 1.5 months old.

Darcy (1 year old female) also joins us with her 5 babies, Darrel (male), Darla (female), Demi (female), Dexter (male), and Doug (male) (pictures to come).

Kaylee and her babies are our newest additions, joining us this Tuesday! Kaylee’s babies are Kora, Kali, Kacey, and Kirby.

As the weather turns colder the number of cats and kittens who desperately need to come inside increases. That means we are desperately trying to intake as many vulnerable cats as we can. With that comes more expenses and need for necessities. If you are able, we welcome any monetary donations. And with Black Friday coming up, there may be sales on items in our Amazon Wishlist. Find out more on our donation page at furry-tales.ca/donations/

M-I-C-K-E-Y ! It’s Mickey! 🥰

How is Mickey still looking for his furrever home? Mickey is a very handsome male, 5-months-old, tabby kitten. He is such a lovely kitten!

Mickey is sweet, gentle, and absolutely loves people. He’s a total snuggle bunny - with both cats and people. This darling boy loves to be with his foster and is very attached to people, so it’s no surprise that Mickey doesn't like to be left alone for too long. What else, you ask? Well, this sweetheart loves to play with and groom other cats. Mickey loves to give everyone affection. He is so very smart and sensitive. Mickey loves to use eye contact to communicate. Did you know that a slow blink means “I love you” in kitty? Mickey is a wonderful kitten!

Furry Tales requires all kittens to be adopted with another young cat, or for there to already be a friendly cat in their new furrever home.

Mickey can’t wait to have a furrever home! He has seen all three of his siblings get adopted. Now it’s his turn! He is so cuddly and adorable. ❤ If you are interested in having this sweet and loving tabby kitten as a part of your family, you can apply to adopt Mickey at furry-tales.ca/adoption-application-form/.

Zava (black nose) & Zeke (white nose), born in June of this year, came into our care from the Smiths Falls area. Unfortunately, they were not socialized early on and came into our care very shy. But with the care and love from their foster mom, they've made incredible strides. Here's what their foster mom has to say about them!

Zava has come leaps and bounds and has turned into an attention-seeking and very affectionate young lady. She loves balls and wands, rubs up against your leg for attention, and greets you at the foster room door. She is a sweet peanut. She is super playful and can’t resist a good run through the tunnel or playing with her foster siblings.

Zeke is still a very shy young man but he is coming around. He now greets me at the door. Loves pets and purrs. Runs like crazy bananas at night through the cat tunnel and around the foster room. He is happy to be pet but is still working on coming out to play and coming to get pets on his own. With time he will get there. He is a beautiful soul eager to let loose and be loved.

Love and patience will go a long way with these two. Their incredible and loving personalities are starting to shine through. We think these two would do best in a quieter home with friendly, outgoing cats who can help them continue to grow. Zeke and Zava have a special shy adoption fee. If you think you are the right person for Zeke and Zava, fill out an adoption application form today at furry-tales.ca

We know we sound like a broken record, but we NEED fosters! Every day, we get messages upon messages from people asking us if we can take in cats. Yesterday we got asked to take in 15 cats. 15! Right now the answer is simple: No we can't. We are at capacity. Over capacity, actually. When our rescue agrees to take in a cat, there is a lot of time, care, effort, and money that goes along with that decision: ▪ The cat is checked by our vet tech or vet to determine its health. If the cat is sick or injured, plans are put in motion for a full vet visit. ▪ If the cat is not injured, they are placed with an available foster. Depending on the cat, they will need time to decompress and learn to trust humans again ▪ While in care all of our cats are vaccinated, dewormed, and if necessary deflead ▪ Once the foster team decides the cat is ready (or is 1 kg), they go for a final vet check and given any needed vaccinations. They are then spayed/neutered and microchipped ▪ After their spay/neuter, some cats will stay with their foster until adoption or they will head to our partner locations. The above process can be as little as a few days to months, depending on the cat. During this time the rescue is paying for their food and litter, supplying beds and toys. The process of getting a cat from intake to adoption takes a lot of hands. Without help, this pace is just unsustainable. We HAVE TO say no to taking in more cats. It is not responsible nor is it fair to the cats currently in our care who need us. So we are again asking, begging, and pleading for anyone who has considered fostering to please please please fill out a foster application form on our website at furry-tales.ca. If you can't foster but want to help, we are still looking for help on the weekends at the cattery. There's an old adage "many hands make light work". Help make our work lighter. Help us help them. #furrytalescatrescue #fostersneeded #HelpUsHelpThem #rescueadoptrepeat
