Highlights: Affectionate, Playful and Smart

Dislikes: Dogs

Hi there, my name is Peppermint, and I do think it suits me … I’m sweet with just enough spice to keep things fun!

Like most kittens, I love to play and nap and eat, but most of all, I like to make new friends! But one time, it got me into some big trouble.

I was happily going about my kitten business when I met a big beast of the canine sort. I thought we might be friends, but that dog did not see me as a friend. It saw me as a chew toy or perhaps worse … lunch! I realized too late, and now I had painful wounds in my side and chest to show for it. That day, I learned the hard way that not everyone wants to be my friend.

As my wounds got more and more painful and infected, I realized I needed to find some real friends and fast if I was going to make it. Thankfully, Furever Friends found me, and I knew right away that they would be my friends… its right in their name!! They brought me to the vet where friendly people cleaned me up and gave me medicine. Those people also I had to wear a funny plastic cone on my head for a while, but I was warm, cozy and fed so I couldn’t complain. The best part is I finally have lots of friends! Feline friends, human friends, friends that do not think I’m a chew toy! I’m still working on the canine friends… I have some trust issues there.
I have all these friends but what I really need now is a family! Do you think I could be your friend? Or maybe even your family?

February 25th, is World Spay Day. 🌍🐈

In honour of World Spay Day, we are giving away one free spay. Manitoba is facing a cat over population problem, and by spaying one female cat you can significantly reduce the strain rescues feel come spring. If you have a cat, or know of a cat, that needs a spay, fill out the form on our website (click the link in our bio). The cat must live in the Altona/Gretna area and have transportation to and from the Winkler Vet Clinic. Other conditions apply. Details on our website.

The female cat will receive FIV/FeLV testing, spay, tattoo and vaccinations - valued at $513 plus tax.

Nominate your cat, your friend’s cat, your family member’s cat, your neighbour's cat - any female cat that needs a spay. In town or on the farm. Together, we can ensure there is one less female producing kittens this spring.

🌟 FULLY FUNDED 🌟

Sweet Peppermint

She was an emergency intake this winter. She came into the pound with a patch of missing fur. So off the the vet this sweetie pie went to see if we needed to treat for ringworm. Turns out she had some very deep puncture wounds from some sort of canine like species.

Poor girl!
She has her wounds drained and cleaned and was sent home with some antibiotics. Peppermint is healing up nicely and will be looking for her furever home shortly.

If you would like to make a donation towards her dental cost, please contact us. Call/text 204-304-9173, email [email protected], or send us a DM

Meet Butters

Birth Date: April 27, 2021
S*x: Male
Coat: Shorthair, solid orange
Highlight: Will steal your heart with his cute little snuggles
Likes: Cats, petting, playing
Dislikes: Dogs, young kids

They named me Butters for the light colour of my fur. I guess I do kinda look like a soft block of butter, lol.

I would love to be adopted! I would love a family…I've never had one. I was born on a farm, no one cared about me. I had no warm spot. I had to fight for food with all the other cats. I ended up taking that dangerous ride under a car to see if the there was a better life somewhere in town.

Turned out it could get so much worse than the farm!!!! Now I was I was soooo cold! I was soooo hungry! I ended up at some guy's place because he fed me sometimes. I snuck into the house entryway so my tail and ears wouldn't freeze off. But he didn't want me at all!

One day he loaded me up into his truck and was going to dump me in Gretna. I would have died. I sat there shivering in fear on the front seat and he took pity on me and at the last minute changed his mind…

Virginia
Birth Date: July 30, 2019
S*x: Female
Coat: Short hair, Brown marble tabby
Highlight: Super pretty, best RBF and very well behaved
Likes: Most cats, dogs (slow intro) lap cuddles
Dislikes: not getting everyone’s leftovers, young kids and car rides
Special Care: Special Diet
Adoption Fee: $80

Don’t let my RBF fool you, my foster mom can assure you I’m a lovely cat. I come from humble beginnings living as a greenhouse cat. I loved my community of other cats there and had many friends. Our community at the greenhouse however was growing to big so Furever Friends came to help. There were quite a few of us who were able to find ourselves in foster homes. Most of them finding their furever homes already. But alas here I still am looking for my furever home.

So let me tell you about myself. I’m a very well behaved lady. I scratch on my scratch trees, I go to my eating spot and sleep in the cozy cat bed on the sofa. As a mature sophisticated lady I don’t care much for rough housing. However I do love a good chase after the cat wand. My favourite thing to do is nap with my pal Katniss. She always saves me the best bed next to her. Oh and I do love a good mani/pedi, I sit so nice on foster mom’s lap while she pampers me.

I do have a bit of a sensitive tummy and have a bit of a restricted diet. Somethings just make me very itchy. Don’t worry there are still lots of things I can have. Like the tuna tube treats! I absolutely love those!! And kibble, I can eat a whole bag by myself.

I currently live with a few other foster cats, a resident dog and cat. We all get along really well. At first I didn’t think I could live life with a dog. Turns out they are actually kind of nice to rub on and they sometimes leave crumbs in their bowls for me to lick out. Foster mom says I like to be the boss of the house. I’ve tried to tell Bart that but somehow he just doesn’t get it.

What else would you like to know about me?
I’m hoping 2025 will finally be the year I get adopted.

Meet Min
Our newest Recovery Rockstar. Dear little Min was on of the last few kittens to be born at the greenhouse. She can into care with a very bad Upper Respiratory Infection. Which in turn causes poor dental health for some felines.

Min has been so brave as the vet informed us that she would indeed need a full dental. Poor Min had to have all her teeth removed at such a young age. But we know that she will live her best life with no dental pain.

Min has fully recovered from her surgery and will be on the hunt for her furever home soon.

If you would like to make a donation towards her dental cost, please contact us. Call/text 204-304-9173, email [email protected], or send us a DM
