This handsome boy is growing big and strong! We are so glad with his progress so far, and looking forward to the next chapter.

Merlin will need to see a specialist to get the last of his issues treated. He has a narrowing near the bed of his digestive tract (called a stricture) that is going so need surgical intervention. Although he’s feeling pretty good on medications to manage it for now, the long term solution will require a bit more specialist care.

In order to help Merlin and cats like him, we need foster homes who are open to special cases and we need donations to cover these costs. We do our best to save these little lives, but when we help so many special needs cats the costs add up significantly. Before Merlin can see his specialist, we need to be able to cover costs that have racked up from his and other cats extensive more urgent care.

If you are in a position to donate, please do so today! And if you could consider opening up your home to a foster cat in need, feel free to fill out the foster application in our bio. If you’ve already applied to foster and haven’t heard back, check your junk mail just in case!

Charlotte is still up for adoption!

Charlotte is looking for a relaxed household where she can be the only cat. Charlotte is 10 years old, and has had a recent health check to confirm that diabetes is her only health concern.

Charlotte receives a very small amount of insulin 2x a day. All of her supplies will come with her, and adopters can be trained in giving insulin shots and testing blood glucose.

Helping seniors like Charlotte find their perfect home is a hugely important part of what we do! If you are interested in adopting, fill out the adoption application via our website, or message or email us for more info!

For other ways to support, consider sharing or buying tickets to our 50/50 raffle!

MERLIN

Cat lovers we need your help! Merlin has a tough road ahead and will need financial support. He is currently hospitalized at Cavan Hills and will need to see a specialist this week to determine if he can have surgery done on his bowels. This won’t be a cheap endeavour, and we could really use your support!

Merlin is an 11 week old kitten who hasn’t gotten the chance to have an easy life yet. This poor little man has just been confronted with challenge after challenge.

He was lucky enough to be rescued by Windsor Humane Society at the end of December, and was transferred to us for incontinence. What we discovered is that he had a whole ton of issues that were all likely curable, and so we started working on helping him. Many of his issues were improving (his nerve and muscle function in his bum was improving, he was beginning to be able to defecate more normally) and we were getting very hopeful, and then he stopped p**ping entirely.

Unfortunately from all he’s been through, there seems to be a narrowing of the intestines in one spot. We have our best vets on the case and we are hoping surgery can be done to open this back up. Currently stool is not going through on its own though and he is hospitalized so that it can be removed.

We are determined to do all we can to save this little guy. He deserves a second chance at life, and he’s really just a baby. If you can, please donate and help us get him the care he needs.

Donations can be made via e-transfer or PayPal, cash or cheque, or even by credit card if you call Cavan Hills and ask to put a credit towards the Queen Street Cats account (just let us know if you do this so we are aware!) 💕✨

We’ve seen the cat lover community do incredible things before when we had a big case, I believe we can do it again! Join us on Instagram at 11 for a quick live to talk more about Merlin and his condition as well as Rousseau and FIP

More cute pictures of Percy, because she’s feeling so good since getting rid of her cone (and staples).

Reminder that she is still looking for her forever home! She is the sweetest cat, and we are looking for the perfect home for her.

NESTOR!

So many of you have been wondering how Nestor is doing. He has been cozy in his foster home, working hard on healing up so he can be neutered. The vets say that he was likely born with an eye condition, one of his eyeballs is actually quite a lot smaller than the other! The smaller eye has been battling infection on and off, and likely has very limited (if any) vision.

Vets seem to think that his little head tilt is likely a mild neurological birth defect, so we will be getting some more information on that soon. So far there isn’t much concern, but after a year of tough neurological cases we want to be sure that we are covering our bases.

Otherwise he is doing well! His next appointment is to recheck his eye in 10 days, because we’ve had some trouble kicking that infection, and hopefully get another opinion on this head tilt. Thanks for all your well wishes for him, and as always a BIG thanks to his wonderful foster mum for taking such great care of him.

To donate to Nestor’s care, you can send a PayPal, e-transfer, cash, or cheque! Every donation helps us give these special needs kitties the best care possible.

Guess who gets her cone off! This girl!

It’s been a tough road with Percy, but things are finally looking bright in her future. She’s recovering, we’re looking forward to her retesting in 6 weeks, and she seems to be feeling good. Her quirky personality is a definite bright spot in this year.

We really had no idea what we were taking on when we picked her up from a shelter up north, but working with Hera had given us the confidence to take on more neurological cases. Finding out she had a liver shunt was not what we wanted to hear, but thanks to all your support we got through it! She is a young cat, and deserved a second chance. It’s so sad that so many cats can never afford to see a specialist, and it doesn’t seem fair that money is a such a barrier. Shelters and rescues just don’t have the resources to save cats like her without amazing people like you. We are so lucky that we were able to save her, so thank you!

Every time you donate to a shelter or rescue you change a life. Cats like Percy are only alive because of kind people like you! @ Toronto Veterinary Emergency Hospital - TVEH

After the tragedy we faced last night, I wanted to share some positive news about another neurological case.

Percy is healing SO well from surgery, and pending what the vet says at her checkup in a couple days she is looking for a foster to adopt home.

She may look miserable in this picture, but we swear it’s just because she’s mad about the cone. She’s actually feeling great.

Message us for more info about adopting Percy!

We were hit with a devastating loss tonight. Hera, a cat deeply loved by many, left this world. We knew she had a condition that would get progressively worse over time, but no one expected her to take a turn this fast. Maybe it was because everyone who cared for her loved her so much and always wanted to hope for the best. There were signs that things were getting worse, but we chose not to see them as such.

We did everything within our power to cure her, make her comfortable, and treat her condition, but there was nothing to do. Neurologists felt her condition was caused by a bacterial infection in utero.

We brought her into the vet tonight to see if there was anything more we could do, any adjustments we could make in their medications, but instead the vets told us it was time to let her go. We always focus on quality of life when faced with these tough calls. We asked the vet about any other options we had, but there weren’t any more. We had tried everything, and it was time.

We wish with all our hearts there was more to be done. We wish that there wasn’t such a problem with uncared for cats getting pregnant, and that this had never happened in the first place.

We included some of our favourite pictures of Hera here, and the last picture is of the funniest thing that happened some nights at dinner. We love her lots, and will never stop trying to save cats like her.

Rest In Peace you cutie, we’ll all miss you so much ♥️ @ Cavan Hills Veterinary Services

CHARLOTTE IS ACCEPTING ADOPTION APPLICATIONS!

Charlotte is a 10 year old diabetic cat. She is looking for a home who is willing to give her the care she needs (insulin injections, glucose testing) and has no other cats. Charlotte just had a full blood work up that showed she is a very healthy cat! Apart from her diabetes she has no history of health concerns. She is loving, sweet, and very motivated by her favourite treats. She has been well managed on a very small amount of insulin given twice a day. Feel free to message us with any questions!

Hello friends!

Just wanted to make a quick update as far as adoptions go for these kittens. Due to covid-19, some unexpected issues with our regular vet appointments have come up. This has delayed our adoption decisions a bit. Please know if you submitted and application you WILL hear back soon! We are doing our best to get things back on track and get these kittens into their forever homes.

If you are applying to adopt a cat who is already spayed or neutered there will not be the same delay.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

PERCY UPDATE!

Thank you everyone who donated to save this sweet young cat. We are so thrilled to announce her surgery went well, and she is in recovery! Things are looking very good! We have one follow up appointment with a neurologist to make sure everything is working smoothly and to make a plan for her future medication needs, but so far everything has gone so well in her recovery.

A gigantic special thank you to Percy’s guardian Angel, Joanne. Without her support i don’t know what we would’ve done.

With things looking so good for her, we are ready to open up the conversation about a foster-to-adopt home. If you are interested in having this sweet girl join your home when she is recovered, feel free to message us! We would love to chat with you about if your home would be a good fit for Percy.

Percy will likely have some lasting neurological issues. She can be a little “spaced out” and is a slow learner. There’s a chance the doctor will want her to stay on anticonvulsants just to be safe, but we aren’t sure yet. Percy will ONLY be available for “foster-to-adopt” so that we can be confident that she ends up in the perfect home.

If you would like to donate to Percy’s follow up neurologist appointment, we would appreciate it so much! We accept e-transfers, PayPal, cheque, or cash. She is such a sweet girl and your continued support has quite literally saved her life.
