Head on out to Pet Valu Listowel to meet Ziggy! This sweet boy adores attention from his human friends and is always ready for pets, cuddles, or a fun game. Ziggy has gone on outings with his foster family and loves everyone he meets. Just offer some chin scratches, and you’ll win his heart.

Ziggy is a playful young boy, who loves to run and play with cats and kids alike. Ziggy loves playing with toys, but is equally as happy to zoom around and play wrestle with his kitty friends in his foster home. In his downtime, he loves to snuggle up on a warm lap and get all the pets and cuddles his heart desires.

Ziggy lives happily with large dogs and young children without any issues, making him ideal for active families. He interacts well with other cats, large dogs, and kids in foster care. His social, friendly nature means he would thrive in almost any home.

Ziggy is FIV+, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit. Cats with FIV can live long, healthy, joyful lives, and Ziggy plans to live his to the fullest. He’s a very friendly boy with a submissive personality around other cats, posing minimal risk of passing it on.

If you’re looking for a kind-hearted, playful companion who gets along with everyone and loves friendship and fun, Ziggy may be your perfect match.

Come meet him—you’ll fall in love instantly.

UPDATE: We have found a safe placement for Smokey at a local auto shop! We also want to put out a quick reminder that not every cat is happiest in a traditional home setting. We do our best to find safe, comfortable alternatives that fit each cat’s unique personality and needs. Thank you to everyone who shared this post to help Smokey!

Meet Smokey – handsome working cat looking for a “job” and a soft place to land.

Smokey is on the hunt for a safe barn or busy workshop where he can patrol, supervise, and help keep critters under control, with a warm spot to curl up when he’s off-duty.
He enjoys being around people, but strictly on his terms – think “independent coworker” rather than snuggly lap cat, and he can be a bit unpredictable with handling.

Smokey must be the ONLY cat, as he is aggressive toward other felines and will not be able to share his territory.
He’s the perfect match for someone who can offer:
- A warm, secure barn, shop, or outbuilding
- Daily food, fresh water, and ongoing vet care
- Respect for his boundaries and space

If you have a barn or working shop and a spot on your “staff” for a beautiful, no-nonsense boy who likes his freedom and a job to do, Smokey might be your new MVP mouser and resident supervisor.

Please reach out to us at [email protected] if you think Smokey may be a good fit for you!

Happy Tails 🐾 “Hi Devon, I’m not sure if you will remember me, but my name is Crystal and we had adopted a cat named Carver through Arthur Animal Rescue last year. We actually picked him up from his foster house a year ago yesterday. (Dec 27). We just wanted to reach out and say thank you again. We have been so so happy with Carver and he has really settled in and come miles from those first couple of weeks. He was very skittish when he first arrived and didn’t let anyone get very close. Now he loves to be pet, and brushed every single day, and will search us out looking for some love. He’s just fabulous with my daughters, and they think he is just the best cat in the world. Thank you again!!”-Crystal

Christmas Day Miracle: Conrad 🎄
On this Christmas Day, we want to share the story of Conrad — a true Christmas miracle kitten.

Conrad is just 5 months old and has already survived more than any kitten ever should. Born outside in rural Mount Forest, he spent his early life fighting for food and safety, relying on the kindness of people who did what they could to help him. When Conrad arrived at their door one day with severe wounds and his ear crumpled from frostbite, they knew he needed urgent rescue.

Our Vet Care Director, Heather, stepped in immediately to get Conrad the care he desperately needed. He had been brutally attacked, likely by another tomcat, leaving him with multiple deep puncture wounds across his head and body that became badly infected. In addition, prolonged exposure to the cold caused frostbite to his ear — a heartbreaking but all-too-common reality for cats left outdoors in winter.

Today, Conrad is safe, warm, and healing in Heather’s care. He’s resting comfortably, gaining confidence, and showing us just how resilient he is. While his frostbitten ear is expected to fall partially off, our veterinary team is closely monitoring him, ensuring he is comfortable. Once he’s strong enough, Conrad will be neutered, microchipped, and receive any additional care he needs in the coming week.

Conrad’s story is a reminder of how many cats aren’t as lucky. During winter, cats often hide from the cold, making it even harder to reach them before it’s too late. Every rescue like Conrad’s is truly a miracle.

If you’d like to support Conrad’s recovery — or gift a little Christmas comfort to him and the many other cats in our care — donations can be sent via e-transfer to [email protected] (tax receipts available upon request).

With time, care, and love, we expect Conrad to make a full recovery and one day become a cherished companion in a forever home. This Christmas, we’re grateful he’s still here — and safe.

Meet Raven and June, two resilient black beauties from the same barn. They’ve triumphed over pregnancies, heartbreaking losses, and unimaginable odds to become the loving companions they were born to be - now waiting for their forever homes.

Supermom Raven’s Journey
This petite gem arrived pregnant from the farm, and soon proved her supermom status. The had a single kitten, and then took on a litter of orphaned newborns with pure devotion - now they’re all adopted, and it’s her turn. She is shy at first but treat-motivated and chatty, blossoms into a lap cat on fuzzy blankets, loves chasing her tail, and watching out windows from her cat tree. Her trusting heart will thrive in a calm home with patient owners and older kids - no other cats needed.

Fighter June’s Triumph
June is our little survivor who delivered a healthy litter, only to battle panleukopenia - a devastating virus that took her kittens. She fought fiercely, healed fully, and emerged stronger, her spirit unbreakable. Today, June is healthy, affectionate, and ready to love again. She may start off a little shy, but once she feels safe, she’ll steal your heart with her chirpy meows, playful swats, and affectionate nature. She’s perfectly content in an apartment, happy to entertain herself when you’re gone, and gets along beautifully with other cats.
June may have lost so much, but her gentle, resilient spirit continues to shine. Now she’s waiting for someone to show her what forever love feels like.

Their Forever Homes Await
Raven craves a serene solo-cat haven to share her gentle purrs and playful serenity. June shines in patient, multi-cat homes as your low-key evening buddy. These sisters’ journeys tug at the heart - adopt one today and spoil them with the love they fought for!
