Looking for love? We’ve got whiskers for that. 🐾

The cats of Arthur Animal Rescue are more than cute faces; they’re tiny comedians, expert snugglers, and professional heart thieves. Whether you’re into midnight zoomies or quiet afternoon naps, there’s a purr-sonality waiting just for you.

Spaying and neutering are some of the most important steps you can take to support your cat’s overall health and well-being. That’s why we recommend having your kitten spayed or neutered around 12 weeks of age—before they reach sexual maturity.

Did you know kittens can start reproducing as early as 4 months old?

An unspayed female cat can have up to five litters in a single year. Now imagine those kittens having more kittens—the cycle quickly gets out of control!

As for male cats, not neutering can lead to serious health and behavioral issues. Unneutered males often become territorial and are more likely to fight with other cats, which increases their risk of injuries and diseases like FIV and FeLV

It’s TNR Tuesday 🪤 🐈
Did you know that meowing is a behaviour that cats have developed exclusively to communicate with humans, and that you’re unlikely to hear a truly feral cat meow? This is one indicator we use to determine whether we have trapped a feral colony cat, or someone’s lost pet.

As of this month, we’ve entered a new fiscal year—which means all of our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) stats have reset. Over the past 12 months, 248 cats have come through our TNR program! If we assume that half of them were females, if each had just one litter a year with an average of four kittens, that’s potentially another 500 kittens who would’ve been born and living on the streets if we hadn’t been able to TNR these cats. This is exactly why TNR is so vital to our communities.

We’ve had a strong start to the new fiscal year, with 9 cats coming in for surgery this past Saturday. One of them was the mother of the campground kittens featured in last week’s post—she was spayed and has since moved to a barn home, where she’ll live with another cat-friendly female. Another female came in for her spay, and we also brought in a group of seven cats from a separate property. These cats were all returned to their respective caregivers and will continue to thrive in their outdoor homes. - Taylor, TNR Admin

I was too hasty before, intake today continued!! These 5 kittens were found and had nowhere to go, so here they are. Two are approx six months old and the other 3 are probably around 8 weeks. The little ones are quite sick with URI’s, and covered in fleas. The bigger two appear much healthier. So glad we could get them all in! The little ones have been bathed and will stay with me. The bigger two are off to a foster. Thank you to our amazing fosters for stepping up at the drop of a hat to help us help these cats!! We could not do this without you. That makes 13 intakes today!! 13 kittens that will not suffer, be hungry, constantly reproduce, or need to fend for themselves ever again. Welcome to the rescue kittens -Nicole, AAR President and Intake Coordinator

‼️URGENT PLEA‼️FOR THE RIGHT HOME FOR MERLIN!

Merlin came to us back in May. He was a stray that was found in Hamilton.

Merlin is approximately 3 years old, and a big, beautiful, and sweet boy. But, he also comes with some behaviour challenges. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

Merlin is extremely cat aggressive, and should not be in a home with other cats, or at this time other animals. He is a busy cat, as most bengals are, and requires stimulation, exercise, and an understanding of his breed.

He is a happy boy most of the time, but can also switch to a very aggressive mode where he will attack and bite. He has mostly shown this aggression when there are other cats around, even if he cannot see them. He has also lashed out when bored or under stimulated. He is also very frustrated when caged or confined to small spaces.

We would like to try him on calming meds, but we cannot do this without a safe foster home for him to be in. We do not have a cat free home for him right now.

Merlin has had two failed adoptions, and currently cannot be in any of our foster homes due to other pets. We are desperately seeking a foster, or eventual adopter for this boy.

Merlin’s foster/adopter MUST

· Have no other pets
· Have no small children
· Have an understanding of bengals and their behaviours
· Have the ability to medicate him
· Work with us to help find the best way to help him
· Meet with us to discuss his ongoing issues

If you are interested in helping Merlin please email us at [email protected]

PLEASE share Merlin and help us find him a safe space! Despite his challenges we are doing everything we can for him, but we need your help.

There’s a whole world of soft purrs, slow blinks, and gentle head-butts waiting for you! 💛🐾

Right now, our foster homes are filled with every kind of feline friend you can imagine from tiny kittens who tumble over each other with endless energy, playful bonded pairs who have promised to stay side-by-side forever, calm and loving adult cats ready to curl up in a sunny spot next to you, and wise senior kitties who just want a warm lap and a quiet evening. Each one has a unique story, but all share the same dream: a safe, loving forever home. 🏠

When you choose to adopt, you give more than love to one deserving cat; you create a ripple of kindness. Every adoption opens up space for us to welcome another kitty in need, offering them the same chance at comfort and happiness. It’s a gift that keeps giving, both to the cat you bring home and to the next life we can save. 💕

If your heart is ready to meet its new best friend, start your journey today by viewing our adoptable cats and filling out an application here: https://www.arthuranimalrescue.com/adoptables

The purrs, the cuddles, and the unconditional love are waiting; you just have to take that first step! 🐱✨

Our rescue runs on love… and a LOT of gas.

Our rescue is looking for volunteer drivers AND support for our Gas Card Drive

Every day, our drivers hit the road to bring animals to safety, get them to vet appointments, and deliver supplies. Gas adds up quickly — and that’s where YOU can make a huge difference!

How you can help:

* Donate a gas gift card (Esso, Shell, Petro-Canada, etc.)
* Contribute funds to our gas fund
* Volunteer your time as a driver

Your support keeps us moving and ensures animals get the care they need.
