Mace 

"Mace"
SPCA#: 05-13-011
Breed: DSH
Gender: Male
Age: ~4yrs
Arrived at the Shelter: May 4, 2013

When you meet Mace, you will soon realize that he is a very likeable cat. This medium to large sized cat is very sociable and enjoys being around people.
He is quite talkative and will frequently let you know that he is requiring some attention.
Mace would happily sit and let you stroke and pet him all day.!
Mace shows an interest in interactive cat toys, but generally prefers to laze around watching the other cats play, rather than being part of it!
This loveable boy is so gentle and easy going. He gets on OK with other cats and is also tolerant of less socialised cats. Mace just wants an easy life. He is no trouble and would make a fantastic addition to any family. He would be so appreciative if someone special could give him a permanent home for life.


Alice 

*Alice*
SPCA#: 05-13-157
Breed: DSH
Age: 8years
Gender: Female Spayed
Arrived at shelter: May 19, 2013

Alice is a sleek beautiful cat, with black shiny fur and big bright green eyes. 
She enjoys attention and likes people, and is always very affectionate and exceptionally gentle.
Alice was initially quite nervous of being taken out of her cage, but now she is starting to trust familiar people. She will sit next to you and roll around on her back hoping to be stroked and petted. She is a little scared of other cats, but this may change in the future.
Alice can be playful at times, and is interested and inquisitive in what's going on around her.
This lovely girl is easy going and very relaxed, and just wants to be near you. She does not scratch or bite and is just so sweet that she is hard to resist!
Alice is waiting at the shelter for that special person to come and give her a new home for life where she is sure to show her appreciation in every way she can.

*Viena*
SPCA #: 03-13-056
Breed: Domestic short hair
Age: 2 yrs
Gender: Female
Arrived at shelter: March 4, 2013

Viena is a medium sized pretty black and white cat. She is currently quite nervous at the moment, and tends to hide away if possible. However she is slowly starting to come out of her shell and relax more, especially around people she trusts. She is very gentle and loving and enjoys attention and being petted and stroked.
Viena is not particularly playful at the moment as is understandably still quite scared. She would rather be in a quiet and calm environment where she can observe her surroundings from a safe distance.
This sweet little cat is so gentle, and just needs to be given lots of love and affection to enable her to regain her confidence.
Viena is also de-clawed which means she will need to have a safe indoor home. She should not be in any situations where she would have to defend herself as she is now completely defenseless without her claws. Her ideal home would be quiet and calm, preferably without other cats and dogs. She would be OK with older children.
This lovely little girl really needs and deserves a secure home for life. Could you give her what she needs, and bring happiness back in to Viena's life.

Mimosa 

"Mimosa"
SPCA#: 05-13-052
Breed: DMH
Age: adult
Gender: Female, spayed
Arrived at the shelter: May 1, 2013 

Mimosa is simply adorable! This smaller than average girl with her soft grey fur will melt your heart.
Mimosa has an interesting personality, and is talkative and expressive when approached.
As a consequence of past experiences she has not quite developed some of the natural cat cues and behaviours that well socialised cats acquire, so she tends to cry out when picked up, and at times will hiss at other cats and inanimate objects! (even her litter tray!)
However these are mostly empty threats, and more of a defence mechanism and lack of confidence. These actions are not meant aggressively, and the frantic meowing when picked up, is really her saying, “thank you for picking me up, I really need a cuddle!” 
Mimosa is such a kitten and is very playful and inquisitive. She scurries around batting balls and bits of paper around, and loves interactive play, such as feather wands and laser pointer.
She would suit a forever home that is calm, quiet with routine and consistency, especially at first. She would benefit from having plenty of places she can retreat to if she feels insecure.
She will suit being an only cat, but could also get along with other cats.
Once Mimosa can bond with one or more human companions, she will almost certainly come in to her own, and be devoted to her family. She wants to give her love and appreciation so much and just needs a special person to give her that opportunity of a life time.



 

"Gord"
*DECLAWED*
SPCA#: 04-13-164
Breed: DLH
Age: 8 yrs
Gender: Male, neutered
Arrived at the shelter: April 26, 2013

 
Gord is a larger than average long haired cat with gorgeous soft white and orange fur.
Gord is a very intelligent boy who takes in everything around him. He is currently quite nervous in his surroundings, and of unfamiliar people. As a result he sometimes comes across as quite guarded and wary when approached. However once he knows he can trust someone, he begins to relax, and is exceptionally charming and loving, and will love you to pet and stroke him.
Gord really is so sweet when he lets his defences down, and will sometimes be playful.
This gorgeous cat really needs to find a forever home as soon as possible so that his faith and confidence in humans can be restored. Sadly this poor chap has been de-clawed, which may have affected him psychologically as well as physically. Having no claws also means he has no way of defending himself, and as a result of this, he would need a totally indoor home that is quiet, calm and predictable. He would ideally suit being an only cat, but in time could get on with another calm gentle cat.
Gord is so in need of a special person to come along and give him a home for life. Are you that special person? Come and find out and visit this beautiful cat at the rescue shelter.

Charlie 

*Charlie*
SPCA#: 05-13-088
Breed: DMH
Gender: Male
Age: 3-4 years
Arrived at shelter: May 15, 2013 

It is hard to resist stopping and taking some time to say hello to Charlie. This big orange cat will give you a friendly greeting. He loves people and is so adorable to be around.
Charlie arrived at the shelter with fur mats, so is currently sporting a “lion cut” He is also rather skinny at the moment, so we are working on feeding him up!
He will need regular grooming in the future to prevent his fur getting tangled again.
Charlie is slightly nervous at the moment and we are working on getting his confidence up, but he has a calm, relaxed temperament. He can get along with other cats, but tends to gravitate more towards human company. He obviously feels safe around a familiar person and is demonstrating that he will be the type of  cat that will form strong human bonds with future adopters.
Charlie loves to be picked up and petted, and is so lovable and affectionate. He sometimes likes to play with interactive cat toys, and he could become more interested in playing in the future when he gains confidence and relaxes more.
He would suit a permanent loving home where he can feel safe. It would be preferable if he could be a house cat with perhaps an enclosed outdoor area, but always with access to being indoors.
Charlie will leave the shelter with all his immunizations up to date, and will be neutered.
This cute chap is waiting at the shelter for that special person to give him a chance of happiness in a forever home. Are you that special person?


 

*Cloud*
SPCA #: 03-13-089
Breed: Domestic short hair
Age: 3-4 yrs
Gender: Female
Arrived at shelter: March 10, 2013

Cloud is a medium sized female cat, with lovely grey and white markings. 
Due to past negative experiences, this lovely lady is currently quite nervous of people and consequently wary of being picked up and petted. However once she is settled on your lap, she clearly loves being stroked and petted and really enjoys observing the comings and goings of the shelter.
Cloud can also be playful at times, and is very inquisitive and intelligent. She watches everything closely and is a quick learner. She would do well as an only cat initially, but in the future may tolerate other cats.
Cloud often gets passed over by potential adopters, which is a shame because she just needs a little time and patience so that she can learn to trust again. (We are working on this at the moment) She needs a home where she can be given some space to get to know her surroundings, and to feel secure in the knowledge that she can go and find her bed and food away from any hustle and bustle.
There is more to Cloud that meets the eye, and her true potential is yet to emerge! A special person it would be indeed to give this adorable cat an opportunity to be happy and live out her life in a forever home.
Cloud is waiting here for you at the shelter, so come and see if this sweet girl is for you.


 
 

"Lynx"
SPCA#: 04-13-080
Breed: DSH
Age: 1-2yr
Gender: Female
Arrived at the shelter: April 13, 2013 

Lynx is a medium sized girl with very pretty markings and beautiful big blue eyes.
Lynx is a very high energy cat who dislikes being confined and needs the opportunity to run around and play.
She has been through some experiences prior to coming to the shelter, that have caused her to be a little bit skittish and nervous of people and sudden movement and noises, but she is friendly and desperately wants to be loved, and to give her love.
This gorgeous girl just needs that chance of a forever home where she can feel safe and relaxed. In time she will almost certainly calm down and become more trusting.
Lynx would suit a home that could give her lots of space. She is very playful and especially enjoys having fun with catch and chase interactive toys and laser pointer. She is so much fun to be around. 
She is litter trained and will leave the shelter with all her immunizations and will be spayed. She would do great as an only cat, but may also tolerate other cats.
So come and see lovely lynx and perhaps you will decide to give this deserving girl a chance of happiness in a forever home.

Archie 

"Archie"
SPCA#: 05-13-067
Breed: DSH
Gender: Male
Age: 5 months
Arrived at the Shelter: May 7, 2013

When you meet Archie, you will soon discover what a special little chap he is.
This lovable young cat is not only cute to look at, but has an equally sweet personality.
Archie is a very affectionate boy who enjoys spending time around people. He will want to be in your arms immediately and loves being stroked and petted. 
Archie's even gentle disposition and the way he looks in to your eyes makes him hard to resist and he will not scratch or bite.
Archie also has a playful side, and is fun to be with. He will happily run around and enjoy interacting with most types of cat toys, and particularly favours toys that he can chase and pounce on.
Archie is litter trained, and gets on well with other cats. He would make a super addition to a loving family, and really needs to be growing up in a safe home for life, so that this adorable little boy can have the chance to be truly happy.
Come and see Archie at the rescue shelter, he's well worth the visit!
