We're looking for the owner of this sweet neutered male cat that was found on Frecker Drive in Cowan Heights. Goose (not real name) appears to be an older kitty and is noticeable thin. He is very affectionate and may have been lost for quite some time. If you own him or if he looks familiar, please contact us at [email protected] or call 311.

Has your pet had their Mani/Pedi lately? Perhaps its time for an "At Home Spa Day". Overgrown nails can cause pain and discomfort. If left over the long term, they can lead to orthopedic problems and/or nail bed infections. If you or your pet are uncomfortable with nail trims at home, we encourage you to establish a relationship with a pet groomer or veterinary clinic who can keep those toes trimmed and healthy.

Happy Easter from our shelter cat Sniffy and his canine work crew this morning Please Note: these beauties belong to staff and are not available for adoption

Scaredy-Cat transforms into a Relax-Cat Butterball came to us from a loving home due to unforeseen circumstances. Being an indoor cat, his stay at the shelter resulted in fear, uncertainty and hiding behavior. Luckily, he has found a new family. He can now relax and nap stress free without worry

Please contact us at [email protected], call 311 or message us through facebook if you are his owner.

Home for the holidays? We would love to see Neil and Donnie find a home for Christmas. They've been with us for quite some time and we'd like to see them adopted together. They were both found as strays from different areas of the city but have developed quite the "bromance". Please spread the word and share their pictures.

Introducing Max and his 2 sidekicks Evan and Oakley. Max (big orange fluffy) who is so-so with other animals has really taken a liking to these 2 little guys. Both Evan and Oakley came to us from 2 separate outdoor cat colonies and are slowly but surely warming up to people. The bond that has taken place is truly amazing and wonderful to watch. Although Max can be adopted separately, we are looking to at least place Evan and Oakley together or in homes that already have other cats. If you are interested, please complete our cat adoption application at stjohns.ca and email to [email protected]
