Another Successful Shelter Building Bee!

Thanks to all the diehard PFA volunteers who gave up part of their week-end to ensure that our feral cats will have access to some cozy shelters over the brutal winter months.

These shelters can make a huge difference in the life of a homeless cat! Here is a one such feral cat, Grey, checking out the new shelter box built by his caregivers, Scott and Jenn, PFA foster care providers and feeders of numerous neighbourhood strays.

Darling Dorian Needs New Home

Last year, we rescued an adorable and spunky young kitten named Dorian, who quickly won over his foster family and was adopted by them.

While Dorian is a much beloved pet, the young boy in the family has severe allergies and they have made the difficult decision to re-home Dorian, thus returning him to PFA foster care.

We are still very full with summer rescues, so we are seeking to recruit some additional foster homes to accomodate cats on the foster home wait list.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Dorian, please contact us at saskpeopleforanimals@gmail.com

Update on our Terrific Teddy

Here is our sweet Teddy, who is currently at the vet clinic awaiting his neuter. He arrived there 10 days ago to be fixed, but was suffering from an upper respiratory infection and the surgery had to be put on hold.

He also needed treatment for a eye condition caused by chronic upper respiratory, a bladder infection, and had the runs from the meds and stress. But, one thing that is 100% healthy and A-ok is his heart!

Teddy is incredibly loving for a cat who has been living as a stray for a number of years. He loves to cuddle and if you pick him up, he nestles into your neck and purrs with pleasure. It's like he's been waiting all along for someone to come along and recognize that he's a lover, not the mangy street-fighting Tom he appeared to be while struggling to survive.

He was originally going to be returned to the lady that feeds him in Sedley to be cared for as an outdoor cat, but once we discovered his sweet and snuggly ways, we knew we couldn't put him back outside and so he is now officially seeking a foster or adoptive home.

The Adventures of Pocohantas the Kitten!

This adorable little girl, a 10-week old kitten plucked from behind a dumpster in an alley in North Central Regina. She is now safe in foster care and has been listed for adoption.

This sweet girl is super social and just loves hanging out with her foster family, which includes kids, cats and dogs! She is very adaptable and will make a great family pet for a lucky adopter.

Wilkes is Wishing for a Second (Actually Third) Chance!

This handsome tabby fellow is Wilkes, a friendly 6 year old male picked up at a feeding station 2 weeks ago after becoming a regular over the last month.

We were able to locate his owner through his tattoo, but unfortunately, she moved to Calgary a few months ago and thought that she had found a good home for Wilkes before she left. At first things were good and she received regular updates and pics. But, at some point the guy she had trusted to care for him left the province, abandoning Wilkes (and another cat), which is how he ended up as a stray at our station.

His former owner is devastated that her beloved cat ended up on the street after her efforts to find him a good home. To make matters worse, the other cat, Andy, has not been found and is fate in unknown.

It's a sad story for her and her poor cats. Fortunately, Wilkes is safe in PFA care right now and will be listed for adoption soon. This time, we are looking for a truly permanent home that will cherish this sweet boy forever. We are hoping the third time is the charm for Wilkes.

Update on Mannie, Our Lucky Little Survivor

Last fall we wrote about Mannie, a young female cat that PFA had rescued once as a kitten after learning she'd been deliberately hit with a hammer in an attempt to kill her.

Fortunately she survived with no lasting effects and went on to find a loving home, only to lose her owner to cancer just one year later. With no friends or family that were willing to look after Mannie and her cat pal Tigger, the lady called us for help to ensure her cats would be cared for once she passed on.

Mannie was placed in a foster home, and despite being shy at first, she quickly won them over and they adopted her! She is clearly thriving and happy with her new family, and we are so glad this little cat who had such a rough start in life has found happiness again.

Tigger was also adopted by her foster mom and is doing well, so both cats got a happy ending!
