There are several cats in the shelter not yet on the website. Please come in to see them!

This page was last updated June 20th, 2009.

Athena is a 5 year old spayed female kitty who came to the NHS through a cruelty investigation. Athena is a gentle kitty who loves to be petted and brushed. She constantly rubs against the staff’s legs to get more attention. She'll do best as the only pet in a home with older children as she prefers to keep all four feet on the ground. Athena is a bit wobbly when she walks, but it just seems to be character and does not affect her medically. Athena has recently (April/09) had all of her teeth removed, but she is eating wet food well and seems to be doing just fine otherwise - she is still very affectionate in her cage.

Athena has been at the NHS since November 28, 2005.

MILO

*depending on the cat

Milo is a 3-4 year old neutered male short-haired cat. Milo was found abandoned on a person’s doorstep and so was then brought into the NHS. He is a very affectionate boy as he loves to be petted. He may even swipe at your hand if you even think of stopping! Milo can often be found lying on his back in his cage, showing you his crooked top row of tiny front teeth and looking at you upside down, waiting for attention. He seems to get along with other cats as long as they do not try to bully him and would probably be okay in a home with children. It is unknown if he likes dogs at the present time. Milo has been at the NHS since September 17, 2007.

Missy

*laid-back kitties

Missy is a 2-3 year old spayed brown tabby female kitty who was adopted from the NHS and brought back because her owner developed allergies to her. Missy is a little grouchy when it comes to other cats and dogs, but she could probably be fine in a home with another laidback cat. She does not seem to mind being held and is very affectionate when she wants to be. Missy has been back at the NHS since March 25th, 2008.

Ms Whiskers

Ms Whiskers is a 6 year old white and tabby female kitty who was surrendered to the NHS when her owner had a baby that she did not take kindly to. Ms Whiskers needs a very special someone who can charm her - she doesn't love just anybody! Ms Whiskers would be best in a home with either a laidback cat, or on her own and with no children. Personality update, February 19th, 2009 - Ms. Whiskers has come around AMAZINGLY well in the last 6 months or so. She is now quite friendly and will need a slightly less special someone to charm her - in fact, she might just charm your pants off.

Ms Whiskers has been at the NHS since March, 2008.

BRIANNA - Visit Bri at Paulmac's on Strathy Rd. in Cobourg!

Brianna is a dark tortie female kitty crossed with a siamese about 1 year old who came to the NHS through an investigation. She is mostly black with just a bit of orange ticking. She is extremely friendly and would be fine in a home with other cats, and probably dogs and children as well. Brianna has been at the NHS since April, 2008.

GUINNESS

Guinness is a 2-3 year old black male kitty - a really friendly guy who's unfortunately been stuck in our isolation area for about a year due to high volume of cats in the shelter. He was surrendered to the NHS because there were too many animals in the space to be properly cared for. Despite this, Guinness is quite clean and has a lovely shiny coat and very charming personality. Where he previously lived there were cats and dogs in close quarters, so he'd probably be fine in a home with both.

Guinness has been at the NHS since April, 2008.

Shadow

Shadow is a 1 or so year old black unneutered male shorthaired kitty who came to the NHS when his owner was no longer able to care for him. He is very affectionate and loves and be held and petted for as long as you'll give it to him! He will probably be fine with cats and dogs, since he came from a home with 4 other cats and a dog. Shadow has been at the NHS since May, 2008.

Floyd

Floyd is a neutered male kitty who is about a year old. He is very affectionate and was found in a box last August with 3 brother kittens and brought into the NHS. It is unknown how Floyd is since his neuter with other cats and it is also unknown how he would be with a dog.

Dodge

Dodge is a male tabby and white kitty who was found abandoned for two weeks with no food or water. In the house was another kitty named Tia and a dog friend, Tara the german shepherd (adopted!). Dodge is shy but very sweet and loves to be petted.

Callie - ADOPTED!

Callie is a longhaired, dilute calico who came to us after being abandoned at a trailer park. She is a quiet cat who has lived outdoors a certain amount, but seems contented enough to stay inside as well. We are unsure of how she would be around other pets, or children.

FLASH

Flash was left behind when his owner was evicted. Flash is a very VERY friendly kitty who enjoys being held and petted. Because of never having spoken to his owner, we have no background information on Flash, and so are unaware of how he is with other pets or children, though so far he seems fine with other cats.

SELINA

Selina was brought in abandoned from the Hastings area. She is rather a timid cat but seems to be quiet and clean. We are unaware of any of Selina's background history, but think that she might be best in a home with no younger children. She does enjoy the company of other cats, and seems to prefer to avoid dogs!

OPAL (On left. Opal's sister Pearl, on right, has been adopted)

Opal and Pearl are female 8-9 month old cats that were abandoned when their owner died. Opal is a bit shy but Pearl is very outgoing and definitely makes up for Opal's shyness. Opal takes her cue eventually from Pearl and will enjoy a pet for a short period of time. *UPDATED* April 20th, 2009 - Since Pearl's departure, Opal has really come out of her shell. She's now extremely friendly and not very shy at all! Like her brother Topaz (below), she really enjoys belly rubs and pets!

TOPAZ

Topaz is a brown tabby male about 9 months old. He was abandoned when his owner died and no one found him for months. Luckily he was able to get in and out of the house! Topaz is an intensely affectionate cat although he may not have had human contact for a few months before he was rescued. He loves to get his belly rubbed and needs regular attention.

WINSTON - ADOPTED! & FINLEY - ADOPTION PENDING!

Winston has been sponsored by Walsh Mountain Ironworks, Nirvana Hair Studio & Spa and Monogrammes

Winston and Finley are 10 month old male cats. They came in as younger kittens and have grown up at the shelter together. They are super affectionate, and love to be loved. Finley (grey) is very vocal and has plenty of stories to tell. Both get along well with cats but it is unknown about dogs. Winston and Finley were put in separate cages because Finley reached the age of maturity quite early and was taking out his 'frustrations' on Winston, however they have both since been neutered and are now very happy to see each other again when they are let loose together in the office.

KODA

Koda is a male kitty coming up on a year old. He is Winston, Finley, and Darla's brother. Koda unfortunately spent much of his youth in isolation due to what was thought to be a long-standing upper respiratory illness/eye infection but turned out to be a deformity of his eyelids that he was born with. Fortunately for Koda he was able to have corrective surgery not too long ago and is now good as new and available for adoption! Koda's a very, very sweet, affectionate kitty who would probably be good with other cats and probably adjust to dogs as well given his confident and curious nature. He would like you to know that the pink background in his picture doesn't mean a thing, thank you very much, and that he is all man.

DARLA

Darla is a 10 month old tabby and white spayed female. She is affectionate and loves to be handled. Darla is good with other cats and likely dogs as well. She is ingenious and can make a toy out of anything including her food and water dishes. Darla needs a loving home where she can play and be happy and would love to go with any of her brothers (Winston, Finley, Koda) or sister, Nina!

THOMAS

Thomas is about 4 years old. He is a male orange tabby cat. He came to the shelter when a concerned citizen had spotted him bleeding from the side of his face. Although Thomas was found as a stray he was injured and the Humane Society will do what it takes to help injured animals. Thomas was thought to be a feral cat. But it turns out that Thomas is VERY friendly and would prefer a home much more then living in someones garage.

Bastian and Blair

*Bastian and Blair are currently in foster care. Please call the NHS at 905 885-4131 to arrange a meeting.*

Bastian and Blair are two neutered male brown tabby kitties who came in as ferals. They are now both loving and "brothers of the heart", says their foster mom. Bastian and Blair are always together, be it playing, eating or sleeping, and cannot be separated. They are looking for a loving home where they can spend their lives together!

PATSY

- patsy is good with laid back kitties who will leave her alone

Patsy's back! Patsy is a 3 or so year old spayed female kitty who was at the shelter once before. She lived with us for quite some time because she was very intense - too intense for most people. She has really calmed down since her spay and most recent placement and is now just a really friendly, affectionate little cat (and she is VERY little!). Patsy has pretty bad gingivitis that needs to be checked up on on a regular basis. Right now she is receiving some mouth drops (antirobe aquadrops) and they seem to be clearing it up a little more day by day. Patsy was returned to the shelter because she wasn't getting along with the other cats in the home, and should therefore probably be a one-cat-home. She may adjust to a dog okay, though.

TIA

Tia is a 6-7 month old female kitty with beautiful markings and colours and eyes. Tia went into a foster home as a feral kitten and is now very friendly and affectionate. She has many siblings. some of which have been adopted and others which are still being worked with. Tia is a gorgeous sweet kitty who would love to go to a home where there is lots of attention waiting for her, especially if there's another friendly kitty to play with!

LIONA

Liona is a female orange and white longhaired kitty and is about a year old. Liona was abandoned with her brothers and sisters, Teal, Dandie, Gentil, and Bidya. She's beautiful, soft, and very affectionate and would probably be fine in a home with cats and adjust to dogs as well. She has a similar personality to all of her brothers and sisters, so see her info for them as well.

TEAL

Teal is a male kitty about a year old. See Liona for details.

BIDYA

Bidya is a female kitty about a year old. See Liona for details.
