In Memorium
These are the animals who have passed onto the rainbow bridge while in our care. We will miss every single one of them forever and always. Here are their stories <3
Davey
This sweet old man was transferred to us with eight other cats from the Victoria County SPCA, as they were at capacity. For most of his life, Davey was in a house with an animal hoarding situation, which had to be intervened for the cat’s sake. Thankfully, they all made it out and were given a second chance at life, including Davey <3
When Davey first arrived at the shelter, we thought he was around thirteen years old. After he passed away on September 18th, 2023, it was learned that he was around eighteen. He lived a very long life, which started badly, but he was safe, warm, and loved during his final months. We couldn’t be happier to be the people who cared for him at the end of his life.
We miss and love you forever and always, little Davey <3
Gerald
Unfortunately, one of our incredible staff members entered a room on February 15th, 2024, to find one of our beloved residents in an endless slumber.
Gerald made an instant impression on anyone he met. He could always be found sunbathing in his favourite window, patiently waiting for love and showing off his irresistible chubby cheeks and big belly that he adored being rubbed. He was truly a sweet soul <3
Gerald spent most of his life on the streets and was not in excellent condition when he arrived. Despite this, it only took us a few days to get his personality to shine, and we will forever be grateful for the trust and love he gave us during his short stay here.
We love and miss you so much, Gerald. Rest easy sweet boy <3
‘Old Man’ Cassius
Cassius surprised us all. No matter what ailment was discovered or how weak he became, he was determined to live, and we were going to do everything we could to support him as long as he had that will.
Unfortunately, on February 15th, 2024 we had to say our goodbyes. We will forever remember him as one of the most resilient, sweetest, squeeze-tube-loving boys we will ever have the honour of caring for <3
We would like to thank Cassius’ incredible foster family for giving him what had to have been the best memories of his life, we will forever be grateful for all you did for him. Rest easy Cassius. We will love you forever and always <3
Tuba
In late February the shelter experienced a small outbreak of a highly infectious and often deadly disease. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts we sadly lost one out of our two infected kittens, Tuba on February 28th, 2024 <3
Tuba was a 7-month-old baby boy who arrived after being rescued from a hoarding situation by the NBSPCA. He was shy his first few days but quickly turned into one of the sweetest most cuddly boys we have ever had the pleasure of caring for. He could often be found curled up in bed patiently waiting for love and food.
We will all miss his beautiful big eyes, chubby cheeks, and warm inviting attitude. We love you, Tuba, if only you had more time to experience all the love this world has to offer <3
Tapioca
On April 21st, 2024, Puddin gave birth to two beautiful kittens, Cup and Tapioca. From the get-go, we realized Tapioca was not as big as his sibling or developing at the same rate. For the two days we were able to care for him, we bottle-fed him every couple of hours to make sure he was eating enough.
Despite our best efforts, Tapioca did not make it through his second night and passed during the morning of April 24th, 2024.
While we didn’t have long with you, Tapioca, you left an imprint on our hearts. We’ll take care of your mom and sibling for you. Rest in peace, Tapioca <3
