Happy Tails 2025

Islay is a great cat! He came to our home abandoned as an 8 month old kitten in 2023. He was already litter trained and scratching post trained. He is impeccably clean and is a lovely and super cuddly young male cat with a gentle nature.

He absolutely loves to snuggle, he purrs loudly and he also has a playful side enjoying chasing toy mice and wand toys.

He ticks every box to be the perfect cat, except he is very afraid of other cats and dogs. He is very social and friendly with people. Due to the fact that he is VERY scared of cats and dogs he MUST be the only pet in a household and be a strictly indoor cat only.

Islay is available for adoption through Grand River All Breed Rescue. The adoption donation is $325 per cat. All of our cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application.

Meet the cutest mother/daughter pair you will ever see! Shilo, a 6-year-old tabby momma, is very inquisitive and sweet. She responds to Mudder (east coast
influence for Mother). We’re confident that this sweet girl was previously a house cat, but we think may have had some unfortunate experiences with people in the past. She may take time to adjust to meeting her new family, but once she does, she loves attention including getting head and neck scratches. She is
very inquisitive about life, and loves watching TV! She is great with other cats as she has offered no issues with her foster’s three cats. Her foster is happy to teach Shiloh’s new family her body language cues to set everyone up for success.

Miss is a 4-year-old black cat (affectionally called “house panther!) She was originally adopted by their foster, however after some hard thinking, her owner would like Miss and Shilo to go to a home together since they are still so bonded. Miss’ favourite saying is “I don’t live with my Mom, she lives with me!”
Miss is very confident and loves meeting new people. Fun fact, she competed in the Canadian Cat Association’s household pet division and finished in 6 th place for all of CANADA (4th for Ontario!) Given her confidence, she is great at the vet, and you can easily cut her nails at home. These two love spending time together snuggling and playing with each other.

Shiloh and Miss are available for adoption through Grand River All Breed Rescue. The adoption donation is $325 per cat. All of our cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application.

Frenchie came to Grand River after being saved from euthanasia in Quebec. She also came with a surprise, as she ended up having kittens a couple of months later! We originally thought her only suitable home would be a farm, however she has shown some progression over the past year! She is nervous around people and tends to stay in her own space. That being said, she is so unbelievably sweet and once used to her environment/people will come out and chat with you when getting fed. She gets along very well with other cats, as her foster’s cats have taking a liking to her. She may never be a lap cat, but for a quiet household who appreciates providing a loving home for a cat in need, and enjoys the satisfaction of working with her and seeing her become more confident, she is a great addition! Frenchie’s foster is happy to show her new family some body language cues and ways to start working
with her.

Frenchie is available for adoption through Grand River All Breed Rescue. The adoption donation is $325 per cat.

Evie is an approx 7/8 year old (as of 2025) indoor tortie who loves people and being the center of attention. She’s talkative, affectionate, and enjoys playing. Her shots are up to date, she is spayed, declawed (front paws), and chipped. She would be an excellent companion to any household as a single pet. She originally was rehomed due to a new baby and allergies and unfortunately her new home also has a new family member with allergies. Poor Evie. Please consider giving her a forever home. She deserves the best!

This sweet, 5 year old, momma loves attention and to be in your company. She’s starting to learn how awesome life can be without babies as she starts to play with toys and adventure around her foster’s house. We’re confident that this sweet girl was previously a house cat, but we think may have had some unfortunate experiences with people in the past. She is comfortable around women and respectful children, but would require any male family members to take a slow, understanding approach to gaining her trust. She is great with other cats as she has offered no issues with her foster’s three cats. She will make an amazing companion to a slower household, ideally a single female but she is learning to trust males who know that she needs time to accept them and adjust.

Shiloh is available for adoption through Grand River All Breed Rescue.  The adoption donation is $250 per cat.
