Trudy is the sweetest!

Trudy is very affectionate, loves to be petted and will be on your lap as soon as you sit down.
She is not very vocal and her meow is more squeaky than loud.

Trudy came with friends who have since been adopted, and is now living with new kitty friends.
She gets along with everyone and is happy to hang with calm older cats as she is not a busy girl.
Trudy needs other calm cat(s) and likes the resident senior dog.

Trudy has a significant heart murmur (grade4) – which meant that she needed a specific protocol for her spay surgery, but she came through very well. She does not currently need medication or special care.
What does that mean for her future? We really don’t know.
She may live a normal lifespan – or it may be reduced because of her heart
If she ever needs to go under anesthetic then her vet will need to know about her condition

Trudy has so much love to share.
She is a very affectionate kitten who loves to be petted, cuddled and she is social and playful.
​Trudy needs a quiet home with another calm and gentle cat

Introducing – Dexter!

All the way from North Bay!
This amazing boy is playful, friendly and so very, very sweet!

Dexter came from a home with too many cats - and is looking for a home where his social nature can shine! He is good with other cats and he loves people. Ideally, he is looking for a home with other feline friends or at least a human who is around much of the time and enjoys super hard head butts from a lovable punkin head.

DOB April 3/23 he is neutered and vaccinated.
His adoption fee is $325

Life is hard right now for everyone. EVERYTHING is more expensive
We totally understand and relate to that. We are normal everyday humans too.
But life is really hard for our animal companions too - and I just can't turn away from the need to help them.

If you can Adopt - THANK YOU! If you can Foster - THANK YOU! If you can buy a ticket(s) - THANK YOU!

If you can't support in any of those ways, we would still really appreciate if you would SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!

Compassion For Paws is foster based, in homes just like yours across southern Ontario. A small but highly effective network of volunteers. Because we have no paid staff EVERY dollar goes directly to quality care.

Thank YOU for your support – it truly means the world to us - and to them!

Presenting Jade and Spring!
DOB July 15/23
These sisters are lovely! Full of sillyness on occasion, they are mostly sweet, quiet and very well behaved.
Jade is the tortie girl and her sister Spring is a boldly marked tabby...Yes! They did actually come from the same mama!
Both cats are calm and non demanding. They don't ask for affection, but are happy when you offer a good scritch or gentle petting.
They are good with other cats and with gentle dogs. They have not been around children but would be fine with older kids. They are not the kind of kitties that you are going to pick up and carry around, but if you are working from home, they will stay in the office with you and keep you company.
I would prefer that they be adopted together but would consider separating them if you have another gentle cat in the home already
