The Northumberland Humane Society cares for species other than just cats and dogs, currently we have 4 rats available for adoption! Gouda, Gorgonzola, Manchego & Mozzarella are four month old males who don't mind if their names are a tad cheesy! Rats are very social creatures who thrive when living with at least one other of their kind. Also incredibly smart, rats require enrichment outside of a cage each day which will allow you to bond with them too! Gouda, Gorgonzola, Manchego & Mozzarella enjoy being held and sleeping away the afternoon in their hammock. To learn more about adoption, please contact [email protected] or phone 905-885-4131!

Wonder 7 year old spayed Domestic Shorthair Wonder hasn't had an easy life and our team is committed to providing her what she needs and lots of patience while she adjusts. Upon her first exam it was noted she had a recent litter of kittens and is missing several teeth, hence her cute little smile. Wonder is positive for FIV, feline immunodeficiency virus. Ensuring Wonder stays indoors and is regularly vaccinated at her vet will allow her to live a great life with her new family.

~adoption pending~ Rudolph 10 month old black & white Domestic Longhair female (to be spayed). This tiny lady is quite nervous of the shelter but very much loves people. She enjoys being pet and snuggling into you! Rudolph will require a patient family with not too much activity. A sanctuary room where she can get to know you will be ideal to prevent her from hiding away somewhere unsafe in the home at first. Rudolph came into our care quite matted and her beautiful soft fur will require routine care to prevent future knotting.

Behind the scenes that make every effort to support our rescue efforts, are our veterinary partners. This Thank You Thursday goes out to all of the clinics who assist with medical care for the NHS animals! Everything from booking appointments, providing all medical supplies plus advice and performing all needed surgeries which allows the animals in our care to start their new journey on the best possible path. Thank you for the selfless work you do for pets year round!

~adoption pending~ Smoky & Em 14 year old brothers, neutered, grey Domestic Shorthair. Super friendly and sweet boys! Perfect litter box manners and will make an amazing addition to your home.

We ask that these boys be adopted together and have noted that they don't enjoy the company of other cats.
