Cats Cradle Toronto

Athos is just sitting here waiting for a family of his own. He and his twinnie brother Aramis are everything you could hope for in a pair of kittens, affectionate, chatty, healthy and smart!

It is tough being a foster kitty in transition. While his brother Amaris went with the duck and cover approach, Athos went with defend. But he is such a sweet boy, it only took a day for him to settle. However, the kitten in the mirror must be watched. Athos and Amaris are super keen to be adopted asap. If you met them at the KingstonRd_Village Fall Fest last Saturday and they are still on your mind, reach out!

Ruby and Varley have been with us for 10 months and are very ready to settle into their forever family. Read through for more info on these sweet sisters, or come meet them this Saturday (Oct 3) at Ella Minnow during the Kingston Rd Street fest!!

Ruby and Varley would benefit from experienced cat owners who know how to take care of a long haired older cat. They have previously lived with a dog but didn’t love it and would prefer to be the only cats in a home.

Ruby loves her sister Varley, but knows that when Varley is feeling stressed she might get a little smack. She takes everything in stride and will move out of reach until Varley is settled. Ruby went through her vet checks like the calm, polite girl she is. Her gums are a little sensitive so dental food and supportive dental care would be helpful in the long run.

Varley is a substantial beautiful girl at over 17lbs. She loves having her face brushed and will need ongoing support in dealing with her gorgeous coat. Varley tolerates being brushed and a licky treat makes everything easier! Both girls also accept nail trims, and are reliable with the litter box.

Oh wow! Stepped onto the porch and it was like kitty Christmas! Thank you so much to the Toronto 120th Guides group! The kids and leaders in the group are so caring and curious about cats in need. They are already on their advocacy and rescue paths.

A few weeks ago, these sweeties visited Ella Minnow for the KRV Street Fest. Darling Sunday went home with a great family, looking forward to meeting two Cats Cradle alum sisters. Chewy was a champ! After 7 months on his own, what a story, he charmed so many people. He is still in foster care and so wants a forever home with another fun confident kitty. Ruby and Varley surprised us and were quite interested in all the new people which just shows how flexible and darling they are. They also need their permanent home. The love they have to give is a slow and steady warmth. What a treat to get to know them again. Please, please help us find a home for these three treasures. If you met them at the fest, this is your sign to reach out for them now!

Let’s talk about Varley for a moment. She and her sister Ruby have been waiting for many months for a home, though safe and comfy in foster care. Varley is a gorgeous big lady, her floof top tier. She adores attention and pets but goes from “lovin’ it” to “heck no” in what seems like a flash. BUT, because we’ve had time to get to know her, we know her preferences and cues. We’ve learned her boundaries and know how to care for her within her tolerance. She and Ruby NEED their soft place to land asap, and we need the kitten room for kitten season, so we can’t wait to help them transition to a forever home. They’d like to stay together. Please share.

We are looking forward to the Kingston Rd Fall Fest on Saturday. We have some kittens, large and small (the smallest of all being Mosey) eager for a forever home. They’ve waited long enough!

Is there anything cuter than a ginger baby on a bunk bed? August, you are all that. Though your sisters are on our laps right now, which is also pretty purrfect.
