Four Fredericton Fosters Part 1: Grizzly

June 16, 2010

Jill says: Several weeks ago a litter of four kittens was found outside Fredericton (New Brunswick, Canada) with no mom in sight. They were pretty big (maybe eight weeks) but still had some weight to put on so we took them home for ten days to fatten them up. I have to say that it was one of the nicest litters of kittens we have fostered. They were so well behaved and really cuddly!

Grizzly was a very handsome boy. He had beautiful soft fur and loved to cuddle in my arms. He loved wrestling with his brothers and sisters and with Flipper, the kitten of the day a few weeks ago who was being fostered at the same time (behind Grizzly in the photo). Unfortunately Grizzly and Flipper are both still at the shelter waiting to be adopted. The Fredericton SPCA has 160 cats in their care right now. They are full beyond capacity even with several pet stores and vets in the region taking a few cats to help them get adopted. With several pregnant moms and litters of young kittens out in foster right now, they really need the cats that have been there for months to get adopted. We hope some kind-hearted people adopt these sweet kittens soon!

UPDATE: Grizzly got adopted June 17!

UPDATE: Flipper got adopted June 20 after being at the shelter for a month!

Sweet-faced little man. Someone needs to see him and love him and take him home.

kiki_lou - 13 years, 10 months ago

Ahhh he's so cute!! I posted the link on my facebook because I have lots of friends in the Fredericton area. Maybe one of them will want him! I hope so!!

(Sigh) I live in Fredericton. I just want him. But my old lady... what is she going to say? She hates any kind of furry things. And she probably has a lung cancer (X-Rays + some caughing + shorter breath). Tell me a can not put her through this trauma... Or she is going to get use to it? Like any other cat?

Oh..... (sigh again)

How Sweet! What we've done in our area is collect donations to cover the adoption fees for some animals who have been there a long time and since they are "free" that sometimes helps them to be adopted.

What a precious sweetie!

I just cannot resist this face. So sad and sweet at the same time.

jillhudgins - 13 years, 10 months ago

@Tracy: yes sometimes the SPCA does a "adopt by donation" weekend or month, especially around christmas or during the summer when they are getting very full. this is usually for the adult cats and not the kittens though

Emily - 13 years, 10 months ago

What a cutie! Someone please adopt him! If I didn't already have two furbabies and an apartment lease stipulating no more than two cats allowed I would be roadtripping to New Brunswick tomorrow!

Such an adorable face! How could anyone resist?

Have you looked into Animal Rescue Flights or Operation Roger or some volunteer transport to move these lovely furbabies to no-kill shelters with a lower cat population? It sounds like poor Grizzly and Flipper have too much competition for homes. It is so sad that every year shelters are overrun with cute kittens and puppies because of irresponsible pet owners. You are such an angel for taking in these babies that people allowed to be created but didn't want.

@BirmanMama
The fredericton SPCA is a no kill shelter... there are just so many cats and kittens at the shelter right now

I get so sad thinking about these older catties having to stay in the shelters trying to become adopted. This baby is really handsome and I hope that he finds a home soon.

I love him!

Vicki - 13 years, 10 months ago

What a handsome boy! For sure he has some Maine Coon, which will make him a total sweetie! I have two 'rescue' girls - Maine/Tabby mixes - they're darlings. Grizzly has such concerned eyes. My heart is breaking for him and all the other kitties who need homes.

Grizzly is a beautiful kitten and you can already tell that he's going to be a beautiful cat. It breaks my heart that he's not adopted yet.
