North End Boys

These adorable boys where found sheltering in a volunteer's garage in Argyle Park. Bandit is a 4 year old medium haired, black and white male and Kenny is the short haired brown/black/white 1 year old male.

Kenny arrived first, checking out the garage situation. He discovered kind people who fed him and gave him attention. The 2 resident cats weren't so mean either, so after hanging out here for several days then he went and told his stray friend Bandit to come stay here too.

Bandit was a bit more hesitant with all the attention and free food as he had been living as a stray longer (his coat/ears had shown it.) But quickly he realized these were good people and he too showed his appreciation with purrs.

Both boys have recently been neutered and will be placed up for adoption soon. They are in foster care together and act like brothers.

If interested in giving one or both of these lovely boys a home please contact Alanna.

Two Cute Calico Rescues

Ruby and Simone are both sweet young calicos rescued yesterday afternoon by two different PFA volunteers who look out for their neighbourhood strays.

Ruby (top) is an obviously tame indoor cat who was out of her element in a north central neighbourhood currently populated by several un-neutered tomcats. She was rescued by a PFA foster home and volunteer, and we are hoping we can reunite her with her owner.

Simone was found in the backyard of another foster home, several blocks away, cranky and engorged, and fighting with other cats in the area. We were concerned that she may have kittens hidden nearby, but a quick vet check confirmed that she was not actively lactating, so she has been spayed, treated for an infection and is waiting for a foster home space to become available. She is very sweet and loving with people - not so much with other cats!

A Spring Ritual - Seed Mill Kittens!

Two years ago in the spring of 2009, PFA got a call from a concerned employee at the Sedley Seed Plant regarding a mama cat who had given birth to a litter of kittens in the mill. The employees took care of the little family for a few weeks, but it wasn't a safe environment so Molly and her kittens were placed into foster care, and they all quickly found homes.

Last year, we got another call from the same gentleman, who had discovered another little cat family in the mill - Jasmine and a litter of 7 kittens. Jasmine and her babies also found forever homes through People for Animals.

Yesterday, we were notified that once again, the staff at the seed plant were hosting another little cat family. This sweet tortie is the Sedley Seed Mill mama for 2011. She is now safe in foster car with her 4 kittens.

The Rescue of Fuzzy-Wuzzy

Another week, another rescued tame stray found in a trap by a PFA volunteer attempting to trap the un-neutered males scrapping in her backyard colony. Last week she nabbed Pascal, who was luckily reunited with his owner right away.

This week it was Fuzzy, a long-haired cat first spotted eating of dumpsters nearby in December. Fuzzy managed through the winter, but was scrawny, matted and full of mats and ear-mites.

However, she is also very tame and was already spayed! We have filed found reports but with no tattoo # , tracing an owner will be difficult.

Fuzzy has been shaved, and is feeling much better and is very happy to be rescued and safe in foster care. She is a sweet cat with a charming personality and we hope she finds a home fast!

Three Little Kittens...

These three adorable Siamese cross kittens are Jessie, Jazzy and Jaxon. They were rescued at barely two weeks of age when their mama became too ill to care for them, and they had to be bottle fed by a dedicated foster mom in order to survive.

Luckily, they thrived and are now happy and healthy 8-week old kittens who are seeking loving forever homes. They are also exceptionally cute!
