She is looking for a patient family, who appreciates small victories; sharing space, exchanging slow blinks, and earning trust one day at a time. Sometimes the most rewarding relationships take the most time.

I'm Lily, a STRIKENLY BEAUTIFUL Snowshoe 10 month old kitten if I do say so myself! Bet you won't believe, but I was found as a stray wondering and taken in by a Good Samaritan Guardian Angels. It's figured I most likely was dumped as I showed up at these angels home just as friendly as all get out. My angels were so welcoming to me, took me in to stay for a while until a special rescue could be found to help me.
I'm great with other kitties and have been around dogs without issues. I'm OBNOXIOUSLY friendly and just want to be loved up all day long. One touch from my person gets my motor running Purrfectly.,
Read more about Lily

Well: 4 white boots, "Stunning" blue eyes, Strong bonding personality with my humans, highly intelligent and VERY affectionate. That's what!
So, if you are in need of a "Cuddly, Snuggle Bug" then look no further cause I'm your girl!

10. Lucy
Kitten (4 months 12 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 20 mi from North York




Meet Lucy
Meet Lucy! The tiniest little package of personality you’ll ever meet!
This half-pint-sized buff beauty is truly one of a kind. Born in May 2026, Lucy was discovered completely by accident while a trapper was working to catch a different litter of kittens. The trapper had no idea Lucy was there… until she started screaming. And screaming. And screaming some more.
In fact, she was so determined to make herself heard that the trapper nearly stepped on her while trying to figure out where all that noise was coming from!
Thankfully, Lucy holds absolutely no grudges. This girl is far too busy being fabulous.
Read more about Lucy
♀️
Lucy has a BIG personality packed into her teeny-tiny body. She’s outgoing, confident, knows exactly what she wants, and is wonderfully respectful of the other kitties in her foster home. But what she wants most of all? PEOPLE. Lucy absolutely LOVES her humans and will happily snuggle, cuddle, and soak up affection whenever she gets the chance.
And when she’s not busy being your personal cuddle bug, Lucy is a bona fide kitten tornado! She adores springs, balls, wand toys, and especially her beloved butterfly spinning toy. She romps around with her foster kitty friends, plays to her heart’s content, and then crashes for a champion-quality kitten nap.
She’s independent enough to entertain herself, but always ready to join in when playtime or cuddle time comes calling.
Lucy is also exceptionally petite. We believe her mama was just a kitten herself when Lucy was born, which may explain why this little girl is literally about half the size of an average kitten her age. But don’t let her tiny stature fool you—Lucy is healthy, happy, and thriving! Our veterinarian has checked her over and given her a clean bill of health.
Lucy currently lives with lots of cats and kittens and gets along beautifully with all of them. She also lives with three dogs. She’s a little nervous around the dogs, so we think her ideal home would either include a friendly kitty companion or have another cat-friendly feline friend for her. If there are dogs in her forever home, they should be very calm, gentle, and uninterested in chasing or bothering cats.
And honestly… who could blame this tiny girl for wanting to feel safe?
Lucy is ready for the next chapter of her story—a forever home filled with toys to chase, kitty friends to romp with, cozy places to nap, and, most importantly, people who will adore her as much as she adores them.
If you’re looking for a tiny, affectionate, hilarious, playful little companion with a HUGE heart and an even bigger personality, Lucy may be your girl.
She’s ready to be someone’s baby. Could that someone be you?
Lucy is spayed, FeLV/FIV and heartworm negative, up to date on Rabies and Distemper vaccines, dewormed, flea/tick treated and Microchipped. Litterbox trained.
Adoption fee is $150.00.
If you are interested in adopting Lucy, please submit an application at https://worthytails.rescuegroups.org/. If you have any questions, please contact Nichole at worthytailsanimalrescue@gmail.com.

15. Kelvin
Young (4 months 24 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 20 mi from North York




Meet Kelvin!
Meet Kelvin—the handsome little social butterfly who is basically convinced that everyone is his new best friend!
Kelvin took a personality test, and the results are in: EXTROVERT! He loves meeting new friends, whether they have two legs or four, and he approaches the world with plenty of curiosity and confidence.
His favorite activities? Pretty much anything that involves a friend! Running with his buddies, wrestling with his buddies, playing with toys with his buddies, and then curling up for a cozy nap with his people or one of his kitty friends. Kelvin believes life is better when it’s shared!
And this boy has personality for days.
Read more about Kelvin
He’s not shy about asking for affection when he wants it—and equally confident about walking away when he’s had enough. He purrs practically on command, and when you pet him, he’ll push that little bum straight up in the air like he’s saying, “YES, RIGHT THERE!” There’s absolutely no mistaking a boy who knows how to enjoy the good life.
Because Kelvin is such an energetic and social guy, he must have a younger kitty friend in his adoptive home. He’s fostered with dogs and doesn’t mind them at all, and he’d do well with respectful children of any age.
Born April/May 2026, He’s officially ready to find his furever family!
Already have a younger kitty? Perfect!Don’t have one yet? Even better—Kelvin would love to be adopted with one of his foster friends!
Could Kelvin be your new best friend?Kelvin is neutered, FeLV/FIV and heartworm negative, up to date on Rabies and Distemper vaccines, dewormed, flea/tick treated and Microchipped. Litterbox trained.
Adoption fee is $150.00.

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 20 mi from North York





I’m Weeble, a very VERY BEAUTIFUL special little female kitty who is special inside and out!! My soft gentle look is only part of my beauty. Ya see, I have a special condition that only makes me even more of a little darling..
Read more about Weebles
I’m what is called a Cerebellar Hypoplasia Kitty. My condition causes me to “Wobble” when I walk and look uncoordinated with movements and balance. It’s a neurological condition I was born with caused by an underdevelopment of my cerebellum. Nope, does not mean I’m “Stupid”, just off on coordination. My condition is NOT progressive, will not get worse, and CAN improve as I grow and my muscles strengthen. NO Medications Needed.
NOTHING SPECIAL NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR ME, just enjoy my quirky beautiful self!
I get around fine, eat, drink, use the litter box, and play just like everyone else. I just look like a “Silly Kitty”!!! I do give great kitty licks, cuddle and love to snuggle just like other kitties!
I was VERY LUCKY to be pulled by Molly’s Place because no one else wanted me. MP took the chance that someone will want me for who I am, adopt me and give me the love and chance I deserve! I'm praying that chance comes soon with you!

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 20 mi from North York




Hey all, I’m Spider, brother to Kricket and Cali. Together we make the “Chicken Coup Pack”! I'm the Handsome black/white one of the three.
Ya see, a nice lady saw us hiding under her chicken coup, skinny, frail, goobers in our eyes, we were very afraid. The lady thinks we were dumped since no mommy cat in sight for an extended time. This lady was nice enough to put food out for us. During her visits, we even played with her dogs but then scampered back under the coup for protection after play and eating.
Lucky for us, she contacted Molly’s Place and we were taken in before the heat wave hit town!

Adopting a cat in North York
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.
