Sometimes supporters just 'pop' up and offer donations. Cat loving Cierra has her own crew to feed but generously thought of us and had quite the haul for us yesterday. Thank you.

The double crown for Crazy Cat Lady and Foster Fail officially goes to… Michelle.
Some cats spend a long time in foster care. We could never understand why healthy, beautiful, friendly Tai and Cher stayed at the top of the leader list for so long—1,000 days, to be exact. Michelle, along with her sisters, not only open their home to fosters but is also one of our most generous and loyal supporters. She eventually caught up with what Tai and Cher had known all along. They were already home. Having already adopted cats from the same family, she had no intention of adding more. Nice try, you made the effort Michelle! When an application arrived for Tai and Cher, calm reflection went out the window. Panic entered stage left. They couldn’t leave, they couldn’t be split up, and they absolutely could not be removed from the happy home and family they had already claimed as their own.
Thank you for everything Michelle. We love you.

We have these two ladies that found themselves with a deadline at the shelter. They need fosters homes. They come to us next weekend.

If you can foster please apply here

We will also need to continue treatment so donations would be incredibly helpful. Please note the Himalayan needs a quiet home with no children

Taking care of these animals comes at a hefty cost. If you’re in a position to donate toward their care, we would be truly grateful. We’ve been hit hard with medical bills and could really use the help.

Isn’t the cat distribution system wonderful? One cat went home yesterday, and today we’re introducing Annie. Our long time foster Melanie thought she was on a break. The cat distribution system had other plans. This little declawed tabby followed her home. Her information was posted on social media, OHS checked and flyers put up in the neighbourhood. Sadly she remains unclaimed. For now, she’s one of ours. Melanie clearly has a gift: this is the second cat to ask her for help while she was out enjoying a walk. The solution? A bigger house or staying in!

This afternoon, our beautiful momma cat, Yuna, went home to join an equally beautiful family. Les and Sarah welcomed her into their blended crew of three children and two cats: Mom’s tiny Munroe and Dad’s shadow, Luna.
Welcome to the OKR Family, Les and Sarah, and thank you Caroline for being Yuna’s interim family and caring for her as your own.

If you looked at our post a week ago showing the 'nastiness' that was removed during Zerah's spay you will love this update. We will give her a few weeks to fill out and get her skin condition under control and do look forward to placing her as available.

NOT YET AVAILABLE:
Name: Zerah
Gender: F
Breed: DMH
DOB: 13/Mar/2017
Good with cats: Possibly with some cats.
Good with kids: Unknown, likely 12+
Good with dogs: Unknown.
Litter trained: Yes.
Foster UPDATE: A week post-surgery Zerah is already showing big improvements. She has a healthy appetite; no longer needing to be coerced to eat. She has been seeking to sleep curled up in our arms overnight. She’s quiet as a mouse and soft as a cloud. When taken out of her onesie, she does play, but is more interested in voraciously grooming so she has to stay clothed for ideal incision recovery. We cannot wait to share more updates on how her personality unfolds as her healing journey continues - you will fall in love with her, if you haven’t already! Her case of pyometra was not obvious, but she was likely suffering in silent pain. This sweetheart is now blessed with years of healthy cuteness.

This young cat was sprung from a shelter. Although healthy he was super shy, overlooked and not top of anybody’s adoption list. As a result of care by kind, patient foster parents he has come out of his shell and is ready for the next gentle chapter in his life.

AVAILABLE

Name: MORSEL
Gender: Male
Breed: DSH
est DOB: April 20, 2025
Litter trained: Yes
Good with cats: TBD
Good with children: TBD
Good with Dogs: TBD
Foster update: August 26 2026

Morsel was neutered last Wednesday and he did a great job keeping his cone on. Content to rest and be spoiled with treats! Morsel is a very shy boy and gets most of his human interactions through playtime and staring at you near his food bowl. When he’s relaxed in his canopy bed, he’ll enjoy scritches under his chin from people he trusts. He’s incredibly quiet, food motivated and even comes when called if it means a treat awaits him!

Should you wish to meet him over a Zoom call to determine if you are a match please complete our application form: www.facebook.com/ottawakittenrescue/posts/256516833551414
For questions, please send us an email at [email protected]
