Honey Bun is still looking for her perfect forever home!

She did have a few applications but we haven’t yet found her match.

Honey Bun was dumped with Sugar Bear in a small carrier, heavily pregnant. We believe they were backyard breeders that clearly didn’t see the worth in this beautiful soul. Their loss will be such a gain to whoever is lucky enough to adopt her.

Honey Bun is about 1 1/2 years old. We believe she’s a Scottish straight mix? She’s sweet as her name once she trusts you. She can still be a little shy but with some time to come around, she is the most loving kitty.

She would do best in a home with another cat to keep her company. She could also go as a solo kitty if she has humans home often to give her extra attention. Her foster mom says she’s a sensitive girl that can easily be bullied, so an easy going friendly cat or two would be her best match. She is currently in a foster home with balanced dogs with no problems! She could warm up to calmer kids too. Her foster mom does advocate for her, so as long as the same happens in her future home, she will adjust well!

We are looking for her perfect match. She deserves the best home with people willing to give her everything an angel like her could need and more.

Only a few days left to enter our Fall Fundraiser! 🍂

I haven’t been able to give my all to the rescue so far this year, and it’s been a struggle. I’m still not feeling my best, so fundraising keeps getting pushed back. This is our big fundraiser for the rest of the year, and if you’re able to donate, I’m in definite need of some hope and reassurance that—even though small—we’re making a difference and it matters.

Can’t donate? Engaging with this post helps more people see it!

We still have Honey Bun going in for her upcoming spay, along with multiple kittens who are up for their spays soon. We’re currently closed for intakes until we can raise more funds.

Until October 24th at 8 PM, every donation—big or small—will automatically enter you into a draw to win one of three amazing gift baskets! All donations count, whether monetary or supplies from our wishlists. If you’ve already donated earlier this past week, you’re already entered!

Stinkle, Stinkle little star is ready to start the search for her forever!

She’s sweet as pie and has the funniest personality. She’s a playful kitten and needs a younger kitty friend. One that’s either as playful as she is, or able to fend off the crazy little nugget. Humans to snuggle and hear all her purrs is a requirement too.

We think she may be a bit too play bitey for young kids at this stage but she has lots of potential to grow out of it with proper redirection, enrichment and mental/physical stimulation. She could work with a dog in the home with slow intros.

Rehab may be a good option for her. Right now the plan is continue wrapping her leg for a few more weeks and assess from there!

We would love to find her someone that would be willing and able to provide her with whatever she may need for the rest of her life. We are not expecting her leg to give her serious future problems, but health and behavioural issues happen with every animal at one point. She deserves to be in a home that can make sure to put her first and make sure she stays the star!

Nutmeg is ready to find his forever home!

Nutmeg | M | 2½ years | DSH | Cats ✅ | Dogs ✅ | Kids ❌ | Fully vetted

Nutmeg was returned to the rescue after his family developed allergies. He was born in the kitten room to mama Sage.

He’s had some time to settle into his foster home, and they’ve gotten to know him a little better.

His foster mom has this to say about him:
“He’s a sweet and curious cat who seeks affection once he’s comfortable—you might even get the occasional lick! He’s very playful and loves interactive toys. He’s neat and tidy but definitely a food thief—beware! He’s not very vocal but has been doing some of those adorable chirps.”

We think young children may be a bit too much for him. His foster family has been taking things slow with reintroducing him to his kitty sisters, and he’s been doing really well so far. There’s potential for him to live with another cat and/or dog, provided there’s a slow introduction. He could also thrive as a solo cat with enough attention.

We believe he’d do best in a quieter home with plenty of comfy spots to sprawl out and get cozy. Nutmeg was understandably scared with the move and still has a few grumbles and hisses here and there, but he continues to make lots of progress. He can be a little sassy when asked to move from one of his lounge spots, but he’s really coming around!

We’d love to find this chonky boy a home with patient, understanding humans where he can settle in and truly thrive. Zoe and Sawyer continue to work their magic to help him feel more comfortable in the mean time.

If you’re interested in giving Nutmeg the best forever home, please apply on our website:

A few of our Salties — Nutmeg, Honey Bun, and Sugar Bear — wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

I couldn’t be more grateful to the humans who help make the hard days a little easier to get through. To our fosters, adopters, donors, volunteers, and every other human working to make these lives better — THANK YOU! Any and all support is deeply appreciated.

Recent donations have helped make a dent in the funds we need to keep helping these deserving animals.

Saying I’m thankful for the good humans who outweigh the bad is an understatement!🧡

**NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

We are beginning to accept applications for Pretzel, Bao and Kaiser! We have very happy news for Brioche and she is no longer available.

We will be accepting applications until Tuesday. Those who already submitted apps will be reviewed. We are expecting a lot and it’s just me running things right now, so please be patient! Everyone will have a fair chance, but I only have time to contact those apps we feel would be the best fit for each one. Please keep in mind there are only 3 of them. It won’t be an easy decision, as there are already so many great homes interested. We won’t be doing meet and greets. We are foster based and meeting new people can be a lot for cats/kittens. Adopters must live in Ontario.

We are looking for forever homes that will put them first and give them anything they may need and more, their whole lives! They are already prepared to receive all the love thanks to their foster family.

Although they may not be fully purebred, Scottish Folds (and mixes) can have more risk of developing certain health issues than your typical cat. The reason their ears fold is because they’re bred to have osteochondrodysplasia, a connective tissue disorder. In some countries it’s banned to breed them, which I fully agree with!

They will only go to humans who are prepared, willing and able to work with any health or behavioural issues, should problems arise. Please do your research before applying!

To apply please submit an application on our website⬇️

Nutmeg has been returned.

He was adopted out 2 1/2 years ago as a kitten. Born in the kitten room to mama Sage. We are told the family developed allergies and he needed to find a new home.

Luckily we were able to get a foster lined up for the time being with the amazing humans that adopted his sisters, Lavender and Saffron.

Nutmeg was very scared with the move, understandably. He’s been a little grumbly and hissy but they’ve been doing their best to help him settle in. The chonky boy is already making progress! We have hopes he will gain more confidence as the days go by and learn to enjoy the company of his sisters again, but he may end up preferring to be a solo cat.

He will need some extra help (and Churus) to gain his trust. Not too many though, as he’s on a bit of a weight loss journey! I would love to find him a quieter home with some understanding humans where he can learn he doesn’t have to be a scaredy cat. We’re hoping Zoe and Sawyer can work their magic and get him feeling his best in the mean time.

Returns are never easy but I’m hoping the rescue gods give us a break and he is able to find his perfect forever quickly!

Look at this progress!

Stinkle’s foster mom, Elaine, brought her to see our vet at Dundas Animal Hospital on Friday. She was able to get her first round of vaccines and another X-ray to check how her little leg is coming along.

When we first got her at just four weeks old, her leg had a significant bend, and she was walking entirely on the side of her paw instead of the pad.

Foster mom Elaine has been wrangling this crazy little girl to make sure her leg stays wrapped — and just look at the difference in such a short time!

The plan is to continue wrapping for another month and reassess from there.

She also has a detached dewclaw on that paw that will need to be removed during her spay, which makes it seem even more likely that this is congenital.

This means she may never have a completely straight leg, but cats are so resilient! Their bones heal incredibly well, especially at this age — and she hasn’t let it slow her down one bit.

We have a raffle starting in the next few days to help animals just like Stinkle, and we hope you’ll be able to participate!

Nettle is officially in her forever home!

Her adopter chose to do an adoption trial to make sure that her and the OG kitty of the home were a match. It took a little time for them to get used to each other, but now they seem to have the best big brother and annoying little sister relationship!

Nettle came to us as a kitten living in the woods with no previous human contact. She tried to use her murder mitts to let big bad humans know she was extra scared and not to mess with her. After lots of forced love this little bug showed me she had sooo much potential.

Luckily she found a human willing to take a chance on a spicy kitten. Knowing with a little time and patience they were about to get the most loving snuggley girl in return!

It’s safe to say she’s thriving and so happy in her forever home.

Things have not been easy lately but success stories like this keep us all pushing to help even more little lives like Nettle.

Who We Are

We at Salty Animal Rescue are here for one reason, to help advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. We are the founders, Karly and Katelyn Saltarski. As sister’s we have shared a passion for animals since before we could talk. From day one we have submerged our lives with animals, especially the ones in need. We have always dreamed of one day being able to help those animals and now our dream has become a reality! We cannot wait to finally have the opportunity to give these animals a chance at the life we know they deserve.

We cannot explain how much being able to start this journey means to us, and we are excited to get the chance to share it with you. Having the companionship with an animal is one of life’s greatest gifts and we hope you have the chance to experience that with Salty Animal Rescue. We are a registered non for profit rescue meaning we are not government funded. Our rescue depends solely on fundraising events, donations, and adoptions fees. This allows us to pay for our operating costs, vet care for all animals and supplies. It also allows us to hold spay and neuter clinics for strays and those who cannot afford to pay for certain animal care, throughout Canada. It is extremely important to us to make sure each animal is placed in the best home for them. To us rescuing isn’t just taking an animal out of a bad situation, but making sure they will never have to be in that situation again. That is why we will be working closely with our foster families to ensure we receive the most knowledge of our animals. This will guarantee we place them in homes we know they will be in “furever”. We are 100% volunteer based, with committed volunteers who selflessly help Salty Animal Rescue with our mission. Our volunteers help us by opening up their loving homes to animals as fosters, donating their time to help with fundraising, helping with adoption/foster applications and so much more. We owe a lot to our volunteers as we wouldn’t be able to do any of this without them.
