 Persian/Himi mix: Casablanca is friendly and knows how beautiful she is, but will allow you to pet the royal body! She is very gracious, but would probably not do well in a home with very young children. Casablanca has long gorgeous hair which requires daily grooming. Call now to meet her! |
 As many of you know, most of our cats & kittens come to us from overcrowded shelters where, due to overcrowding, cats are often only allowed to stay for a few days before they are euthanized to make space for other abandoned pets. Working together with a team of volunteers, Abbey Cats picks up these cats & kittens from the shelter, sometimes just hours before they are set to be put down. The animals are moved into a foster home where there stay until they are adopted.
Sadly, it is the most vulnerable of the animals that are euthanized first. Nursing and pregnant cats, often not more then kittens themselves, are the first to be euthanized because of the extended length of stay they require.  These are friendly & healthy animals (almost always house cats), dumped in boxes at the side of the road or outside the shelter in the middle of the night with the kittens, sometimes only days or hours old. Calls to our organization have been flooding in over the past two days from overcrowded shelters all over the GTA looking to evacuate pregnant cats and nursing mothers and kittens from their facilities. With our foster homes currently at capacity already, we are once again appealing to our supporters for your help.
 If you have a spare room or a quiet place for one of these mommies to raise their kittens, please consider fostering today. Remember, Abbey Cats provides all food, vet care & will find qualified adopters for these animals, all you need to do is supply the love & care! Your help will literally mean the difference between life & death for one of these families. Our foster parents come from all walks of life - single people, families, students and seniors, some with pets of their own and others not.Can you find room in your home & heart to help? We are looking for foster homes to take in any one of the following families (NOTE: All foster cats are friendly):
RESCUED! ~* Mother & 4 kittens (3 weeks old) - left behind locked in an empty house when their owners moved apartments.  * Mother & 4 kittens (2 weeks old) - left outside a vet's office in the middle of the night, vet does not have boarding space. RESCUED! ~ * Mother & 2 kittens (2 weeks old - picture above) - left outside a municipal shelter during the night, shelter is evacuating her. RESCUED! ~ Cloud had 8 babies and has been placed in a foster home. * Pregnant cat named Cloud (8 months old, due any day - picture above) - left outside a municipal shelter during the night, shelter is evacuating her. * Pregnant cat - (picture above) surrendered to a municipal shelter by her owners who did not want to keep her, shelter is evacuating her. |
 Yoko was part of a large Siamese mix rescue. This little doll is very social with other cats and loves to greet you at the door. She has alway lived with cats and needs to go to a home where there are other cats for company. She would not do well in a home with small children as she runs and hides from them. Note: Since these cats are terrified of small children. They cannot go to homes with young children or to people who may have children within the cat's lifetime.  (416) 284-2140 |
