Hi There... Unfortunately during the past few months our neighborhood in Toronto has had an increasing number of stray or abandoned cats and kittens looking for shelter and food. We've contacted several Animal Rescue Organizations but unfortunately they are filled to capacity and are unable to provide any immediate assistance but will put the cats and kittens on a waiting list. We also contacted Toronto Animal Services and advised us if the cats and kittens are stressed, scared or upset once at the shelter, they will put them down. The last thing we would ever want to happen is for these sweet cats and kittens to be put down...so here we are trying to find them homes. We've put up posters in our neighborhood, ads on kijiji and craigslist looking for homes for these little guys but haven't had any interested homes as of yet. Right now we're trying to find homes for the three main cats.
1. Sex unknown..but i think it may be a female over the age of two. "She" is a long haired beauty. She is extremely affectionate and very sweet. I've been calling her honey for the past month and she responds to it. She is a greyish, whitish, with a dash of orange color. Also when she meows..no sound comes out.
2. Black long haired kitten...this kitten along with another one just came out of nowhere one day but i'm thinking they are around 6 months old. Sex is unknown at this time. This kitten is also very timid and shy and only lets me pet him/her when it is eating. Otherwise it won't come to me unless i have food around. Also this kitten is very chubby..it must be all the food we've been feeding them :)
3. Grey short haired kitten..i believe this kitten is either the brother or sister of the black long haired kitten because they are always together and look about the same size and age. This kitten is very scared of people..it will come around when food is given..i've only petted him/her a few times, while it was eating but otherwise it will definitely not let me touch it. This kitten is also a chubby little guy.
I've enclosed some pictures..if you know anyone who would be willing to give these sweet strays a home, we would greatly appreciated. We would take them in but we already have a full house of animals. It breaks our hearts seeing them out there day after day and we definitely don't want them spending the winter outdoors.
Please email me asap if you would like more information.
Thank you very much and Happy Holidays!

I have rescued many stray/semi feral cats in the past, I can say it's not easy to find homes for them when they are not tame. Work with them, as long as you can and I promise they will come around (as all the ones I rescued did). I also built a shelter outside until I could find them homes. If you offer neutering,shots etc... people come around to the idea. Email me maybe I can give some suggestions or maybe even help find homes (foster or forever) with you.
