Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue Sweeties Of The Week: Sasha and Stoney Are Up For Adoption!

Sasha: Female, DSH Brown Tabby, est DOB May 3, 2018
Stoney: Male, DSH Black, est DOB May 3, 2018

Status: Adopted since writing of this post

Meet Sasha and Stoney! Sasha and Stoney were born outside to a feral Mom. Luckily a kind rescuer found them, fed them and worked hard to teach them that humans are friends. Now they are ready to be adopted into a loving family!

Sasha is a super playful girl who just loves to chase after toys and tussle with her brother! She was shy with people when she first came into care. However, she is quickly learning to love life inside, where she loves to play and gets all the toys she can handle. Stoney can still be shy sometimes, and will seek out a comfy hiding spot when he is feeling unsure about things. He loooves to cuddle though, and will roll around and purr affectionately as soon as you pet his soft belly! The pair get along thick as thieves, and either are likely to do great in a home with other feline companions.

Adoption Information
MEET STONEY!

The adoption fees for Sasha and Stoney are each $200. OSCR have included in this fee a veterinary exam, first set of shots, deworming, spay/neuter, and microchipping. As the adopter you will be responsible for second and third sets of shots if they haven’t been administered yet. Furthermore, some adoptions occur prior to sterilization surgery. Consequently, the adopter will be responsible to schedule and bring in their adopted cat for surgery. We have included this service in the adoption fee.

Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue Cutie Of The Week: Keba

Female, DMH Brown Tabby, est DOB April 5, 2018. Adoption Fee: $200

Status: Adopted since writing of this post

Meet Keba! Keba was born in Manotick, close to a local business where she and her family were sometimes fed. Although she did have some human interaction, Keba has lived outside almost her entire life. As a result Keba is a bit reserved when she meets new people. However, it does not take her very long to get used to them. Keba loves chasing balls on the floor and running through tunnels. She greets her foster Mom whenever she comes home, and even follows her around the house. Keba just loves to sleep on a nice warm lap when it is quiet time. She is quite the little purr machine!

Keba is looking for a family who will understand that she will take a wee bit longer to come out of her shell, and she would love to live with another well balanced feline who she can cuddle and play with.

WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO BRING IN YOUR CAT FOR A CHECKUP!

Is It Time For A Cat Checkup?

Unfortunately our feline friends sometimes get a bum deal when it comes to veterinary care. Many owners find it stressful to wrassle them into the carrier with gardening gloves on, listen to them howl the entire care ride, and then try to cause bodily harm to their doctor (well, not all of them!). And besides, they seem so healthy. . . So how do you know if it’s time for a cat checkup?

Bring Us Your Cats!

Well let’s clear up some misconceptions. First of all, cats need and deserve medical care just as much as dogs do. Furthermore, cats are very, very good at hiding illness from others. Consequently, many pet owners fail to notice symptoms of illness until problems become very advanced. The importance of getting a cat checkup and/or an annual wellness screening truly can not be overstated.

Even if they do not leave the house they should be vaccinated. Cats can contract/develop numerous parasitic and other illnesses even in the relative safety of your home. For example, many cats wander around for years with painful lesions on their teeth, and many cats nowadays are obese, leading to type II diabetes.

We know that you love your cats. You want to keep them purring and chasing mice and sitting on your laptop while you’re trying to work for many years to come. Show them that you love them by providing them with health care that will allow them to be happy and healthy for a long full life. We can even give you some tips to make the trip less stressful too!
