Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 46 mi from Hamilton




Hi!! I'm Jack O Lantern and I am 9 months old. I am a friendly, affectionate, goofy and talkative guy that LOVES to play! Feather boys, springs, balls, mice, you name it and I will have fun with it! I also like to seek out affection and I really enjoy getting lovins! I will purr and purr and headbutt you for some love! While I do not like to be picked up and held, I will climb onto your lap for some pets when I want to. I also really enjoy looking out the big window and watching the world go by. Loud noises do scare me a bit, but I got some of my shyness from my mama: she is a nervous nelly. However, I am pretty brave and will only hide away from loud things for a short period of time before I come back for more love or play time.

13. Sage
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 46 mi from Hamilton




Hi! My name is Sage and I am almost 3 months old. I am a shy, little kitten that will need a patient, loving home to help me grow out of my shell. I was raised in a foster home with my mom and siblings since I was about three weeks old, but I am still a pretty quiet kitten. Growing up in a foster home helped me get used to living inside a home, and I didn't have to sit in a shelter kennel while I was growing up. I do well with other cats and kittens, and I would do good in a home with children that can respect me! Being held is a little scary at first but then I can get comfortable and will purr.

15. Butthead
Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 46 mi from Hamilton




Hi, hi! My name is Butthead and I am 8 years old. I am a sweet boy that can be a little shy at first, but I warm up pretty quickly! Once we are friends, I will pester you for love and attention! I give the best head butts to let you know I am ready for all the love! I was recently surrendered with six other cats due to our owner passing away. We were mostly kept in the basement for the last few months so seeing so many humans is pretty new to us. Since I am a bigger boy, I am currently losing weight and have been recently groomed to help me feel so much better and like my true self! I do well with other cats and I would thrive best in a home with children that can respect my boundaries due to being an older guy.

Adopting a cat in Hamilton
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
