Hearts4Paws Senior Cat Rescue

Directions Website

Hearts4Paws Senior Cat Rescue EST 2019 - Hearts4Paws is a non-profit, 100% volunteer run, foster based senior cat rescue based in Stratford, Ontario. Any donations are appreciated.

Donations can be made by etransfer to [email protected] Thank you for your support. Our love for animals inspires us to provide assistance in rehoming cats in emergency situations - in particular, senior cats at risk of euthanasia due to impending homelessness. We have rehomed and adopted out over 175 cats since 2019, many whom have come to us due to an owner's declining health, move to a long term care facility or sudden passing. We are partnered with the Alley Cat Cafe and Feedall Pet Centre where many of our cats where successfully adopted out to their forever homes. Including individual foster homes when available. All the cats that come through our rescue receive a wellness exam, up-to-date vaccines, spay/neuter and medical care if required. Our small adoption fees only cover a fraction of our expenses so we rely on the generous donations from our community. Many of the cats have received little to no vet care. So in the event of emergencies we like to have some funds available. Donations can be made the following ways:
1. Email: [email protected]
2. Perth Veterinary Services, 80 Lorne Ave W, Stratford. by phone or in person (please call ahead) 519-271-5171 *Hearts 4 Paws Rescue Account
3. Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=8Y8JATMGT9Y5E&source=url

🐾❤️ **MEET LINDY – 19 YEARS YOUNG & LOOKING FOR LOVE!** ❤️🐾

At 19 years old, sweet Lindy has found herself looking for a new home after her beloved owner sadly passed away. 💔

Despite her age, Lindy is a healthy, happy senior girl with no known medical concerns. She's spayed and still has plenty of personality!

💕 **A little about Lindy:**

🐾 19 years young and full of love

🐾 Sweet, affectionate, and loves head pets and chin scratches (but please, no butt pats — she's a lady with preferences!)

🐾 Gets excited when her humans come home

🐾 Loves her chicken lickable treats

🐾 Absolutely loves spending time outdoors!

🐾 Has a little sassy side that makes her extra special!

🏡 **Lindy's ideal home:**

Lindy would do best in a peaceful, quiet home without other pets, dogs, babies, or young children. At her age, she deserves a calm, comfortable environment where she can relax and enjoy her golden years.

**An extra bonus would be a home with a secure outdoor enclosure, catio, or safely enclosed yard!** Lindy loves the fresh air and spending time outside, so having a safe space where she can continue enjoying the outdoors would make her very happy. 🌿☀️

Lindy is currently being cared for in a loving **foster home in Waterloo, Ontario**, while she waits for her forever family.

💉 **A note about vaccinations:** Although we believe Lindy has been vaccinated, unfortunately, her vaccination records cannot be located. We will ensure she receives the appropriate vaccinations, following veterinary guidance, prior to adoption.

❤️ **Interested in adopting Lindy?**

A meet and greet will be required to ensure it's a good match, along with completion of the Hearts4Paws adoption application.

🌐 **Hearts4PawsRescue.org**

Even if you can't adopt, sharing Lindy's story could help us find that one special person she's waiting for.

**19 years of life, love, and memories. Let's make sure Lindy's next chapter is filled with kindness.** ❤️🐾

🐾 Meet Lindy. 💕

At 19 years young, this sweet senior girl has experienced a heartbreaking loss — her beloved human passed away, and now Lindy is looking for a quiet, loving home where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort and peace. 🐱💗

We’ll be sharing more details about Lindy soon, but for now, we wanted to introduce you to this beautiful senior who deserves to be surrounded by love once again.

Please keep Lindy in your hearts. 🐾💕
More details to follow soon.

🖤🐈‍⬛ OCTOBER IS BLACK CAT AWARENESS MONTH 🐈‍⬛🖤

October is a month to challenge the myths and superstitions surrounding black cats, celebrate just how wonderful they are, and help these beautiful cats get noticed.

And there is one little black cat we especially want you to notice…

Bridgette. 🖤

Despite everything this beautiful 6-year-old girl has been through, Bridgette still hasn’t received a single adoption application. 💔

After losing her human, Bridgette’s whole world changed. She came into our care needing a new beginning and, while she waits patiently, she continues to be overlooked.

We really don’t understand why.

Bridgette is confident, vocal, affectionate in her own way and absolutely full of personality. She has a unique malformed paw that just makes her even more special. 🐾

She previously lived with two dogs and her sibling cat and could do well with cat-friendly pets. We believe a quieter home where she can feel safe, loved and secure would be perfect for her.

🖤 Black cats deserve to be seen.
🖤 They deserve to be chosen.
🖤 And Bridgette deserves her second chance.

Maybe her person simply hasn’t seen her yet.

So during Black Cat Awareness Month, we’re asking for one small thing:

Please share Bridgette. 🐈‍⬛

One share could put her beautiful face in front of the person she has been waiting for.

🐾 Bridgette | 6 years old
🏡 Seeking her forever home

Let’s make October the month Bridgette finally gets noticed. 🖤🐾

🐾 TWO PASSIONS. ONE PURPOSE. ❤️
We’re very excited to share another important part of the vision behind Féline Manor – Boutique Hotel for Cats. 🐈‍⬛✨
Féline Manor will proudly support Hearts4Paws Cat Rescue. ❤️🐾

For years, Hearts4Paws Senior Cat Rescue has helped cats in our community find safety, veterinary care, foster homes and, ultimately, loving families. Féline Manor gives us an opportunity to connect that work with something new—a beautiful, peaceful place created especially for cats.

While Féline Manor will operate as a boutique cat hotel, it will also help support the rescue work that means so much to us.
So when you choose Féline Manor for your cat’s stay, you won’t simply be supporting a local business—you’ll also be helping us continue making a difference for cats who need a second chance. ❤️

It feels like a natural fit: caring for cats who already have loving homes while helping those still waiting to find theirs.

🐾 Meet Bridgette at the Alley Cat Cafe🐾

Age: 6 years old
Personality: Confident, vocal & full of character
Ideal Home: Quieter, loving home
Good With: Cat-friendly dogs and easygoing cats

Bridgette came into our care after her owner sadly passed away and her world suddenly changed.

Before coming to Hearts4Paws, Bridgette shared her home with two dogs, her sister and her brother cat, so she has experience living with other animals. She would do well with cat-friendly dogs and easygoing cats, with proper introductions.

Bridgette was born with a malformed paw, but don't tell her that! It certainly doesn't stop her confidence or keep her from enjoying life. She has a wonderfully vocal personality and isn't shy about letting you know when she has something to say.

Considering everything Bridgette has been through, we feel she would be happiest in a quieter, stable home where she can feel safe, loved and secure. She deserves a family who will give her the time and space to settle in and simply enjoy being someone's beloved companion again.
