Hi Windsor Essex,
We are almost at our needed amount for Tippy’s consultation. Thank you to everyone who has donated to support Tippy. We couldn’t be more touched with how generous our community has been.
We will let you know when we have raised the full amount. That is when we will draw our winner for our raffle for Tippy.
Thank you again,
Yay for Strays and Tippy

Hello Windsor Essex,
Thank you so very much to everyone who has come to share their love with our WECHS kitties.
36 adoptions to date. đŸ«¶đŸœ

If you have had time to visit our cat lounge you would have met our precious Tippy and Toddy. Two bonded senior boys who are the longest cats to be residents of the Humane Society.

We have had the pleasure of fostering Tippy and Toddy here at Yay for Strays since opening our doors in February. We have had plenty of potential adopters for these two seniors but who wants to bring home a kitty that is going to have issues peeing outside the littler box?

Because Tippy has struggles in this area. And it is a lot to ask a potential adopter to try and figure this issue out. We have spent hours everyday cleaning our lounge and changing litters to find one he likes and have 6 feliways going and give Tippy all the love we can to try and figure out his needs but he still sprays. I will say he has reduced his spraying quite significantly since we have had him and have learnt some of his needs.
His main need. Love. Lots and lots of love. You can’t pet Tippy’s butt hard enough. He will even leave a puddle of drool because he gets so happy with butt pets.

And good news. Really good news. Jackson Galaxy has approved us for a consultation. Not everyone gets approved and we could not be happier that we are one of the lucky ones.

This consultion includes the following:
75 minute initial video call
6 week after care support
Two 20 minute check-ins with Jackson
Call between Jackson and Tippy’s vet
Curated care package of Jackson products
Pre-consult video walk-through of our cat lounge and ability to send additional videos and photos and vet records

In conclusion with the consultation we will be able to:
Have a better understanding of why Tippy sprays
Learn why the problem exists
Learn how to best approach the problem for Tippy
Learn how to best resolve Tippy’s spraying
Utilize a toolbox full of tools to build a better, fuller relationship with Tippy and any other kitty who comes through our doors who sprays.
Because we want to be here forever and know Tippy will not be the only kitty that comes through our doors with a spraying issue.

Why choose Jackson Galaxy? Please just Google him or follow him on social media and you’ll quickly learn why he is called the cat Daddy. And you will know like I do that he WILL be able to help us help Tippy.

We have been approved for this consultation for over a month and the thing stopping us is the fee.
Jackson Galaxy’s consultation will cost us $2,000.00 USD.

This is something we would like done sooner rather than later so we can find these boys their forever home AND know what to do with future cats who have issues peeing in the litter box.

This is something that just isn’t in our budget yet.

My name is Chantelle Gaudette and I am the very proud owner of Yay for Strays Cat Cafe. I have saved for 7 years and had no financial assistance opening YFSCC.
I have never had my hand out (Okay except for volunteering for Strays on Streetcorners. But that’s for the Humane Society. đŸ˜ș) but today I am asking for your help.

We will be holding a raffle to raise the 2,000 dollars for our Jackson Galaxy consultation.

Below is a picture of the raffle items.

Included is:
A donated outdoor camera system with solar panel.
A donated cat picture.
8oz Jamaican Blue Mountain ground bag of coffee. Baden coffee company.
Baden coffee company tea.
Queen size duvet cover. With cats on it of course.
Laptop bag.
And a whole lot more cat merchandise.

If you can spare absolutely anything we are accepting e-transfers to pay for our consultation and have your name entered to win our raffle prize.

Our email is [email protected]
Please include raffle for Tippy in comments section of e-transfer.
Please feel free to send an email to us as well so we can respond with our gratitude.
Thank you to everyone in advance.

Whatever you can e-transfer is absolutely wonderful and for every $10.00 e-transfered you will get one ticket for the raffle. Raffle items total over $1,000.00.
Thank you Windsor for reminding me to add this.

These boys are going to be teenagers soon. 💕

These boys are going to be teenagers soon. 💕

Tippy and Toddy are two sweet, senior boys who are looking for a home together. They are both playful and social boys who love being around people. If you stop petting them, they will put their little paw on you to ask for more.

Toddy gets zoomies in the morning and throughout the day. He likes to be held and generally just be around his family. He also loves being brushed, which is great, because he has a long luxurious coat that needs regular brushing!

Tippy is a loving boy who is very loyal to his person and will even get a touch jealous and bop Toddy if he walks between Tippy and whoever is petting him. He is a funny boy with a big personality. He does not enjoy being picked up like Toddy does, but he still loves lots of scritches and attention.

These boys are almost 13 years old and would love to find their forever home to spend their golden years together. Tippy has been known to spray/urinate outside of the litterbox, which we know is not his best attribute. Toddy has done this as well, but it’s become less and less frequent to a point that it’s rare to see him doing it now. Adopters should know these boys also have heart murmurs. Tippy and Toddy are looking for a very special home who will take them in and give them the love they deserve. They have been in the shelter’s care for almost 6 months now, making them the longest stay residents. Luckily these boys have been staying at Yay For Strays Cat Cafe , so have been getting lots of love and attention daily, but they would love to find their forever home. Think it could be you? Their fee has been waived in hopes of finding them those special people. If you think you can give Tippy and Toddy their loving forever home, submit an inquiry today!

We have lots of adorable buns who have been waiting quite a long time for their forever home, including this adorable bonded pair - Crunch and Munch!

Crunch is a 3-year-old Flemish Giant/Common male rabbit who is gentle and mellow. Munch is a 3-year-old New Zealand female rabbit who has an independent streak, but still loves a nice cuddle session. These two are best buddies, and are looking for a home together. Since they've been looking for their forever home for a long time now, Crunch and Munch are Overlooked Pets, so their adoption fee is up to you!

Welcome Willow!! đŸ˜»

She’s a bit on the shy side—new people and places are a tad overwhelming for her. But don’t let that deter you! Once she warms up to you, she’ll be your most loyal friend. She prefers quiet corners and soft whispers. Willow loves gentle strokes and kind words. She may not be the life of the party, but she is definitely the peace in the chaos. Willow’s not just a cat, she’s a companion, a comforter, and a friend.

Come on in to Yay For Strays Cat Cafe to meet Willow (as well as our other adorable residents: Mickey, Mouse, Bonk, Tippy, and Toddy)!
