Keeping Cats Homed is now starting up again with some new protocols so we can maintain physical distancing and ensure our fosters, volunteers, and adopters are safe during the pandemic.
At this time, we are taking kittens in need. If you have stray, orphaned, or kittens that need our help, we do have fosters in place and can take them. If you need our help, please reach out through email at loriburnell@eastlink.ca or by PM on our Facebook page.
For anyone interested in adopting, things will now be completed contactless and be done with some different procedures than in the past. As we must follow the guidelines set out by the province to maintain physical distancing, we are unable to allow adopters to have home visits with the fosters. There are other ways adopters can be in touch with fosters through either Facetime, video chat, or telephone conversations to help them choose a kitten they feel would best fit their family but at this time visits before adoption cannot happen. If you are interested in adopting, please submit an application. Once approved, an email will be sent explaining our new protocols and further discussions will take place with the adoption coordinator to ensure a safe pickup.
For individuals interested in adopting, the only kittens in our program at this time are quite young and not yet ready to be adopted. We strongly recommend submitting an application in advance as once we start to post kittens ready for adoption, pre-approved adopters will be considered first. Applications must be submitted through our website, under the forms tab using the online application option. Once approved, please keep an eye on our website and Facebook page as that is where kittens will be posted. If there are not any kittens posted, there are none ready for adoption. Please do not send a message to us asking if we have any kittens.
We are also looking for donations of canned cat food suitable for kittens. We prefer foods that are in a pate form and not shredded or chunks. If you are interested in making a donation of canned cat food to our program, please reach out to us and we can arrange contactless pick up or drop off.
