Queen Street Cats

NESTOR! So many of you have been wondering how Nestor is doing. He has been cozy in his foster home, working hard on healing up so he can be neutered. The vets say that he was likely born with an eye condition, one of his eyeballs is actually quite a lot smaller than the other! The smaller eye has been battling infection on and off, and likely has very limited (if any) vision. Vets seem to think that his little head tilt is likely a mild neurological birth defect, so we will ...be getting some more information on that soon. So far there isn’t much concern, but after a year of tough neurological cases we want to be sure that we are covering our bases. Otherwise he is doing well! His next appointment is to recheck his eye in 10 days, because we’ve had some trouble kicking that infection, and hopefully get another opinion on this head tilt. Thanks for all your well wishes for him, and as always a BIG thanks to his wonderful foster mum for taking such great care of him. To donate to Nestor’s care, you can send a PayPal, e-transfer, cash, or cheque! Every donation helps us give these special needs kitties the best care possible.

Guess who gets her cone off! This girl! It’s been a tough road with Percy, but things are finally looking bright in her future. She’s recovering, we’re looking forward to her retesting in 6 weeks, and she seems to be feeling good. Her quirky personality is a definite bright spot in this year. We really had no idea what we were taking on when we picked her up from a shelter up north, but working with Hera had given us the confidence to take on more neurological cases. Finding ...out she had a liver shunt was not what we wanted to hear, but thanks to all your support we got through it! She is a young cat, and deserved a second chance. It’s so sad that so many cats can never afford to see a specialist, and it doesn’t seem fair that money is a such a barrier. Shelters and rescues just don’t have the resources to save cats like her without amazing people like you. We are so lucky that we were able to save her, so thank you! Every time you donate to a shelter or rescue you change a life. Cats like Percy are only alive because of kind people like you! @ Toronto Veterinary Emergency Hospital - TVEH

After the tragedy we faced last night, I wanted to share some positive news about another neurological case. Percy is healing SO well from surgery, and pending what the vet says at her checkup in a couple days she is looking for a foster to adopt home. She may look miserable in this picture, but we swear it’s just because she’s mad about the cone. She’s actually feeling great.... Message us for more info about adopting Percy!

We were hit with a devastating loss tonight. Hera, a cat deeply loved by many, left this world. We knew she had a condition that would get progressively worse over time, but no one expected her to take a turn this fast. Maybe it was because everyone who cared for her loved her so much and always wanted to hope for the best. There were signs that things were getting worse, but we chose not to see them as such. We did everything within our power to cure her, make her comfortabl...e, and treat her condition, but there was nothing to do. Neurologists felt her condition was caused by a bacterial infection in utero. We brought her into the vet tonight to see if there was anything more we could do, any adjustments we could make in their medications, but instead the vets told us it was time to let her go. We always focus on quality of life when faced with these tough calls. We asked the vet about any other options we had, but there weren’t any more. We had tried everything, and it was time. We wish with all our hearts there was more to be done. We wish that there wasn’t such a problem with uncared for cats getting pregnant, and that this had never happened in the first place. We included some of our favourite pictures of Hera here, and the last picture is of the funniest thing that happened some nights at dinner. We love her lots, and will never stop trying to save cats like her. Rest In Peace you cutie, we’ll all miss you so much @ Cavan Hills Veterinary Services

CHARLOTTE IS ACCEPTING ADOPTION APPLICATIONS! Charlotte is a 10 year old diabetic cat. She is looking for a home who is willing to give her the care she needs (insulin injections, glucose testing) and has no other cats. Charlotte just had a full blood work up that showed she is a very healthy cat! Apart from her diabetes she has no history of health concerns. She is loving, sweet, and very motivated by her favourite treats. She has been well managed on a very small amount of insulin given twice a day. Feel free to message us with any questions!

Queen St Cats has kittens! Joyce is finally ready to send her babies off to their forever homes. Joyce came from Operation Catnip Peterborough , still nursing her kittens and already pregnant with more! Now that she’s successfully raised her 2 litters, the babies are up for adoption, and so is Joyce. All will be fixed and vaccinated before adoption, we’re accepting applications now! Message us for more information, or submit an application via our website!... These kittens are quite young, and so they must be adopted into a home with other cats or adopted in pairs! We promise that 2 kittens is easier than 1 though. When you adopt a pair of siblings, they keep each other company and keep each other entertained.

Some featured adoptables of the week! 1- Joyce’s kittens 2- Bonnie... 3- Billie Check out the link in our bio or message us for more info on these cuties!! Billie and Bonnie are ready to go to their forever homes any day now! They are spayed, vaccinated (FVRCP and Rabies) and microchipped. Joyce’s kittens are available for pre-adoption, and can go to their new homes as soon as they are spayed/neutered.

Found kitty! Anyone recognize him?

Happy October! In honour of the Halloween season, here are 4 of our black cats currently available for adoption! Black cats tend to have a harder time being adopted, partly due to superstition. These cuties are the best luck though, and would be a great addition to any household (especially as we’re going into the second wave of covid, you’ll want a buddy around the house) 1- Billie Billie is a very sweet older kitten. She was feral, and her foster home has worked hard on ...gaining her trust and teaching her that humans are there to help her. She can still be very timid, and will need some time to adjust in a new home, but she is very loving when she settles in. 2-Ellington Ellington is a pretty typical kitten. Playful, cuddly, and wonderful to have around. He’s lots of fun, and such a sweetheart. Ellington is quite young and social, and as such cannot go to an only cat household. We would recommend adopting a pair if you do not already have a cat in the home! 3-Sadie Sadie is so loving. She’s an older girl, and has lived quite a long and hard life. All she wants is constant snuggles, lots of food, and to follow you around and sleep on your pillow with you. She gets very attached and possessive of her humans, and as such would be best as an only cat. She’s AMAZING with young kittens though so if you foster kittens she would love to help you. 4-Charles Charles is still working on his socialization, and as such is only available for foster-to-adopt homes with experience in socializing cats. He’s very sweet, but he’s been mistreated by humans enough that he has a hard time trusting.

Study buddies/ quarantine companions for adoption! These two black kittens (Billie and Ellington) and this big fluffy sweetheart (Bellamy) are ready for adoption! With the second wave of covid coming in, you may want to have a buddy around the house. Message us for more info!
