Jefferson

Jefferson -photo by Willow Bean Photography

* Jefferson and Grace found their forever home with a lovely family! * Jefferson was surrendered to Hamilton Animal Control by his owners because they had “no time” for him. Sadly, it seems he had not been properly fed in his previous home as he was emaciated and skeletal thin at the time of his surrender. As well, his nails were overgrown and the fur on his hind end was matted and severely urine stained. Despite his condition, Jefferson was extremely friendly with everyone he met and was always happy for attention and head pats. During the couple of weeks…   read more >>

Grace

* Grace found her forever home with lovely people. And her new bunny brother is Ladybird adoption alumni Bentley! * Grace came into Hamilton Animal Control as a stray, and she was in really rough shape when she first got there. This is how the animal control officer described Grace’s condition when she was picked up: “Emaciated, hungry, overgrown nails, matted, hair loss and bruising from pulling out mats.” Either Grace was severely neglected before she was abandoned outdoors to fend for herself, or she had been outdoors on her own for so long, her health and physical condition had…   read more >>

Juniper

Juniper - photo by Willow Bean Photography

Juniper came into Hamilton Animal Control as a stray. She’s a very sweet cat, and so pretty! We took Juniper straight from HAC to the vet, where she had an ultrasound that showed “bubbles” in her abdomen. The vet wasn’t 100% sure if Juniper was pregnant or not, so she has a second ultrasound  a little more than a week later, and those bubbles were indeed kittens! We’re so happy we could get Juniper out of the shelter and to a safe place where she could have her babies in the warmth and comfort of her foster home. On April 14th…   read more >>

Metro

Metro @ foster - photo by Cyndi Ingle

* Metro found his forever home with lovely people! * Hamilton Animal Control were called when a member of the public discovered a cat in a reusable grocery bag, abandoned in an underground parking lot. It’s not known how long Metro had been in the garage, nor why someone would choose to abandon him in this way, but we’re glad he ended up at Animal Control and did not suffer a worse fate. We were happy to rescue Metro from HAC when his stray time was done, and we took him to the vet for a check-up and to be neutered….   read more >>

Harlow and Sage

A great big thank you to Harlow and Sage for featuring our adoptable girl Holly on their Instagram page yesterday!

Tao

Tao @ vet

February 13th, 2017 – Update Our hearts are broken… Tao did well in his foster home over the weekend. His foster mom reported that Tao was eating well, playing with toys, and following people around the house to be picked up and cuddled. He had a great weekend being spoiled. But this morning, Tao’s breathing became seriously laboured. His foster mom brought him to the vet where they could drain the fluid from his lungs again, but the fluid had become so thick, it was difficult to aspirate. Tao was not doing well, and there weren’t many options left to…   read more >>

Millie

Millie @ foster

We rescued Millie from Hamilton Animal Control. She came into HAC as a stray, but nobody came looking for her if she was truly a missing cat. Millie is a lovely girl. She’s a bit shy, but once she’s comfortable, she will give out as many head bonks as you want! Millie had a dental cleaning at the vet, and her blood results showed there were no issues. Other than some of her fur being matted that the vet took care of, she’s a healthy girl. Here’s a note from Millie’s foster home: “Millie is a shy but very loving…   read more >>

Fiona

Fiona @ foster

* Fiona found her forever home with amazing people! * We rescued Fiona from Hamilton Animal Control where she found herself as a stray. Fiona is such a sweetheart! Lots of head bonks and purrs for everyone she meets. We took her to the vet for a much needed dental cleaning, and she did very well for her surgery. Fiona has arthritis, and she now takes a daily medication for it, but the vet thought she was otherwise pretty healthy for a senior girl. Here’s a note from Fiona’s foster home: “Fiona is a calm, affectionate and sweet little lady…   read more >>

Eva

Eva

* Zsa Zsa and Eva found their forever home together with a lovely person! * Zsa Zsa and Eva were rescued from a North Bay shelter where they ended up after being removed from a massive hoarding situation. They’re shy little ratties, but their foster family are helping them be more comfortable with handling, and they’ve come quite far already. They love each other very much, so we’re asking they be adopted as a pair. Eva has a head tilt, but she functions normally. Our vets have advised that it’s possible the tilt will stay the same and she will…   read more >>
