Kittens to adopt











Elegance and Hallie are the last 2 kittens left for adoption. They are survivors of a distemper outbreak. Each one is loveable in their own way. Elegance is more feisty and a bit of a tomboy, as she loves to wrestle with Hallie. Hallie, on the other hand, will purr as soon as you touch her, and is gentler most of the time. But when she sees something she is afraid of ( a big cat or a raccoon) Hallie will growl and hiss and act tough! Both kittens are sweet and cuddly in bed.












and here is Hallie's biography http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=13795814 She was already spayed, to prevent accidental litters of kittens.








We are hoping to adopt them out soon, so we can finish disinfecting the rescue workshop and re-paint it. Then we can begin rescuing new cats again!

Jeannie's owners passed away and she needs a new home ASAP


Hello animal lovers,
I am sending out a desperate plea for help. Jeannie is a formerly feral cat who was rescued in February 2007 from the waterfront in Eastern Passage. A kind lady named Gloria had been feeding Jeanie and her kittens until I rescued them. Eventually she ended up adopting Jeannie and understood that the cat was still a little bit hissy and fearful of humans. The family came to love Jeannie a great deal and she fit in well, despite a few bites when she wasn’t getting enough attention!
Sadly, Gloria passed away in December 2008 and Jeannie came back to live with me for a few months, while the family got their lives back in order. In March 2009 Jeannie went back to live with Gloria’s daughter Lisa and has been getting along well in her new home. Unfortunately, Lisa just got news today that her father passed away while on a trip to visit family in Scotland, so Lisa has to leave the country and cannot take care of Jeannie anymore. She doesn’t even know where she will be living when/if she returns to Canada.
So we are really hoping that somebody out there is willing to foster or adopt Jeannie. She is a spicy little meatball that needs a person who understands her moods. Here are some excerpts from emails between myself and the Lindsay family

“I couldn’t wait to tell you that Jeannie hopped on my lap last night when I was sitting on the couch. I rubbed her for a while, she hissed and pretended to bite, so I shooed her off of me. I am NOT going to reward nasty behaviour! A few minutes later, she jumped back up and sat in my lap for a long time. Tonight she got in Frank’s lap while he was downstairs building a fire. She is meowing at me as soon as I get home and in the front door. I think she has decided to claim me as her own! “


“It will be good to find a home for Jeannie but I will miss her. She has fit in quite nicely here after a while, and chases the other cats playfully. She has totally taken over the spare room downstairs yet spends a lot of time upstairs and even hops into my bed with me sometimes. She is very playful and wants affection”

Please consider giving Jeannie a chance. You can begin by fostering her, and I will provide the food and litter, then if you fall in love, you can keep her without an adoption fee. If you are interested or know someone who needs a cat, you may contact Sonya by phoning 469-MEOW or by email at katsonya@accesswave.ca
