Hunter found his perfect family while at the Alley Cat Cafe! Congrats to you all!

You can meet Karen and other adoptable cats at the Alley Cat Cafe! For more info on Karen, see her bio below 👇

“Excuse me, I’d like to speak to the manager of this establishment. I have some concerns and demand a refund”.
Jk she’s not that kind of Karen!

Karen came to the rescue after being surrendered by her previous owner. She was in heat and due to this, was acting a little crazy with the boys. Now that she's spayed and vetted she is a perfect young lady.

Karen is a spunky and sassy young girl, she will be sure to keep her new family entertained. She loves to play with string toys and crinkle balls, and she’s a little vacuum for treats. Karen was fostered with an almost 3 year old child and interacted really well with her. She was gentle yet playful. She also lives with many cats of all different ages and backgrounds and adapts to each of their personalities well. Though she’s not yet met a dog, with proper introductions we believe she would adjust fine.

Karen loves to play all day, and sleep in bed with you all night by your feet. She’s a quiet girl in the night and loves to snuggle. Karen will do well in almost any type of home environment where she gets time to play and snuggle. Karen is a petite girl with the poofiest tail, that’s almost as wide as her. She’s got adorable markings and will make a great companion for anyone.

Location: Alley Cat Cafe - Stratford, ON.
Adoption fee: $350

“About a week ago we got a request to take a friendly stray, who looked to be in rough shape. To say she had a bad case of fleas would be an understatement! This poor girl is missing most of the fur on the back half of her body, and is riddled with flea bites. We quickly got that taken care of and she’s already starting to feel better! She’s been doing a lot less itching, and much more grooming, and some of her scabby areas are starting to heal up already. Welcome to our cat house, Icewing! You’re safe now ❤️”-Taylor, TNR Expert and Icewings foster mama

“Not one but two urgent intakes today! First came this gorgeous and super pregnant girl. She is a stray that had been hanging around some houses. Luckily the finders alerted us that she is likely close to baby time so they rushed her in to us. Second is Jenna. This tiny girl was found on the side of the highway by a lovely family. They saw she was in bad shape and called all around for help. As soon as I said yes they rushed her down to us. She went to see the amazing people and will be feeling better in no time. We may be bursting at the seams, but we couldn’t leave either of these two to suffer. Welcome to girls!”-Nicole, AAR President and Intake Coordinator

Happy Tails 🐾Queen Boudicca, now Bianca
“Good evening Devon (AAR adoption coordinator), I am taking this time to fill you in on how things are progressing with Queen B. We have changed her name to Bianca, or bonk. Why, well because when she lays down for a belly starch she hits her head on the floor and we bonk. She does that a lot, funny girl. She is such a sweet little girl. She is a cuddle, but I was spoiled with my Ashes and Bianca does not cuddle to that level.

As for her and Lola, we are getting there slowly. I have let them see each other through an open slightly bedroom door. Lots of hissing. They now stare at each other, turn their back and walk away. I decided to see how they would do in the living room together. It went better than I expected. They touched noses, sniffed each other. Lola hissed Bianca and turned her back and walked away. Lola laid down and watched her. No more hissing, no growling, and no assertive stance. I put Bianca back in the room after about 10-15 minutes.

I’m gonna say about half an hour later Lola who normally ignores me approached and let me pet for like 30 seconds. Which is generous for Lola.”- Heather D.

“Here’s a little update on Chester: the wounds he came to us with have fully healed, and his fur is starting to grow back in those areas. He recently had dental surgery to remove his four badly broken canines. Since then, he’s been recovering wonderfully!

Even after eight years of living on the streets, this guy is incredibly social. He happily accepts pets most of the time and loves to give head bonks if you aren’t paying enough attention to him. He always gets really excited for his meals and will sit and meow at you until you set it down for him. He’s a little touchy at times because we’re still working on building trust with him, something he didn’t have much of after so many years outside.

Overall though, he will make an amazing companion for someone, as long as they’re willing to be patient and work on building a solid foundation with him!”-Taylor, TNR Expert, Admin, and Foster
