Where do all the cats come from?

This is a question I’m often asked when people come to visit the shelter. So here’s a little explanation of where some of the cats that we have in our care right now have come from…

Bane came from a good home but a family member became allergic. I’ll never forget that the young man cried when he had to give Bane up to us but he didn’t know what else to do. It was either give him up to the shelter or have him 'put down'.

Adira was thankfully spotted by a man as she dragged herself down a street in The Pas. Her front legs were paralyzed due to nerve injury, her left leg was broken and her back toe had been ripped off. She was severely underweight.

Maximus "Max" was found living in a local store’s storage shed last winter. He had obviously been beaten up by the other stray cats and had several wounds on his face.

Blue was a stray taken in by a kind lady this spring. Blue was pregnant and gave birth to six kittens in the lady’s basement. The lady cared for them for a few weeks but her allergies just didn’t allow her to keep them any longer. Blue is just a kitten herself…and pregnancy has taken its toll on her.

Oreo and Romeo are Blue’s little sons.

Fergus had been homeless and living outside for years in The Pas. We finally had room for him and concerned citizens managed to get him to the shelter. He had severely frostbitten ears.

Benjamin was found freezing under a dryer vent not far from the shelter. He arrived matted and thin.

Ebony came to us when a family had to move and couldn’t care for her anymore. She and her 3 babies arrived together to the shelter.

Binx had been homeless and living outside a motel all winter. Some kind people took him in and decided to foster him. He was underweight and severely matted.

Angus is a street smart cat who survived a winter outside very well on his own in spite of the freezing temperatures. A kind family let him in to warm up and eat until we had room for him at the shelter.
