Rescued from the Rain

This teeny and cute little guy is Oliver II, a young kitten found abandoned and soggy in North Central on a very rainy day last week.

A kind lady took him in out of the cold but wasn't able to take care of him for more than a few days so we happily took him into foster care and will be listing him for adoption shortly.

Oliver II is a very friendly and snuggly kitten who loves to be held and cuddled. We can't imagine why anyone would leave this little sweetie-pie all be himself in the rain, but we are happy that he is safe, warm and dry now.

Xena: A PFA Happily Ever After Story

Just a few days before Christmas a PFA volunteer got a call about a young female cat who had been found frozen and scared in a snowbank near an apartment building that didn't allow pets.

Although the timing wasn't good we weren't going to turn our backs on this little stray and so pretty little Snow White (now Xena) was taken to Vic Vet to be spayed and placed into an awesome PFA foster home.

We knew it wouldn't take long before this gorgeous cat found a loving home of her own, and sure enough she was adopted only a few weeks later and quickly bonded with her new owner, who reports that Xena has definitley made herself at home:

Xena prefers to sleep in the Bathroom sink while I'm getting ready in the mornings! She comes when I whistle and follows me around EVERYWHERE. The other day I bought her a harness and we went for a walk around the city! I got some pretty funny looks because I was walking my cat! She travels with me back to my parents every weekend and she'll just sleep the entire car ride, then when we get there she'll meow at me because even before she goes up the stairs she knows there's no food in that bowl up there! She is quite vocal and oddly loves to chase her tail. If I'm taking a bath, I best close the door tight because not only can she open the door by turning the door knob, but she'll jump into the tub with me and swim around until I get out! At least she's easy to keep clean! She also thinks that 5:30am is far too late to be sleeping and she'll wake me up so I can pet her for a little while! I love her to death and she's my little baby!

It looks like our little Snow White got a much deserved fairy tale ending!

Rest in Peace, Ronnie

You may recall our blog about this handsome boy Ronnie. Unfortunately Ronnie quickly became sick and was tested for feline leukemia. He tested positive and the heart breaking decision was made to put him down.

Feline Leukemia (FeLV) has an incurable diagnosis, and aggressive treatment is only to manage the symptoms. Sadly, all cats with feline leukemia end up dying within a few months to a year following diagnosis. FeLV's symptoms include vomiting, severe diarrhea, fever, enlarged lymph nodes, infections of the skin, bladder and upper respiratory tract, seizures, poor coat condition, eye and mouth conditions and cancer. This virus is spread by blood or saliva contact (mainly from fighting) and only lives outside of its host for a few days.

The best way to protect your own cat is to vaccinate for this disease, keep cats indoors and house infection free cats away from infected cats. See your vet for more info.

Rest in Peace my handsome boy. May your body be pain free and may you enjoy chasing the birds and the mice in the big fields in the sky. We love you.

Tiger's Luck Has Taken a Turn (for the worse)

This cute and chubby fellow is Tiger, a friendly de-clawed boy who is a bit down on his luck these days. His owners moved away and left him behind and he now finds himself among the ranks of the many homeless cats in Regina.

Tiger is currently staying in the shed of a PFA volunteer who is doing her best to keep him comfortable and warm (and well-fed!) but this sweet guy would really love to have a home of his own again.

Tiger is fixed and vaccinated in addition to being de-clawed. He is affectionate and good with kids and will be listed for adoption soon.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting this charming boy, please contact us at saskpeopleforanimals.com

Feral Kittens turned into playful kittens!

These are Bree's kittens; Mosby - male tabby, Londyn - female torti and Maddy - female calico. They were rescued several weeks ago from a PFA cat feeding station and born to a feral cat. They have socialized nicely as you can see how playful they are. They will be available for adoption in 2 weeks!

How do you do, Miss Cindy-Lou!

This beautiful young tortie-tabby female is Cindy-Lou, a gorgeous and friendly 6-7 month old female rescued from a back alley in North Central being cornered by two big tom cats!

Cindy-Lou is an incredibly sweet young cat who loves people and attention. You can pick her up and cuddle her to your hearts content, and she purrs and purr the whole time. She is a super fun young kitty to have around. She loves to play and loves her soft food. She looks tiny but she has the appetite of a big tomcat!

This precious girl is safe in foster care and will be listed for adoption right away. She has been spayed, de-wormed and given her first vaccination, purring all the while.

The Seven Sedley Kittens: Another Seed Plant Rescue

Last spring PFA teamed up with the staff at the Sedley Seed Plant to take care of Molly and her adorable kittens and get them great homes.

This year, the plant staff rescued another Mama, Jasmine, a petite young tabby with seven two-week kittens, all healthy and incredibly cute. Jasmine and her babies are safe in foster care and the little mom is quite content to have a quiet room to tend to her kittens.

PFA is supporting several mamas with litters and a number of young kittens born on the streets to feral mamas who are being socialized in foster homes so they can be adopted. Right now we have a huge need for donations of kitten food, kitten milk, soft food for the mamas and clumping litter.

We are very grateful for all donations, please note that tax receipts are available for gifts in kind.
