Bella - AARCS

 Sweet ball of fluff, shy but transforming, reaching out a paw - ready to be loved.  This is Bella. :)

Bella was surrendered from a home that had 7 female cats and she was highly stressed and withdrawn when she first came to AARCS.
Since being in a foster home – Bella has made huge progress. For the first few weeks – she hid and did not allow anyone to touch her. Now she has learned to trust and loves to be petted and tickled under the chin. She is a very gentle cat and although she may be a little shy at first – once she realizes she is not in danger – she loves to follow you around ​ and be fussed over.
Bella has got a long with all the other cats in the home – and currently lives in a home with a Golden Retriever. Bella would do best in a home that is not really noisy – as she tends to like quiet and calm! If you are looking to give a home to gentle, loving cat – come visit Bella.

Cadbury - AARCS

  Here is a lovely little boy that I shot for AARCS a couple of days ago.  I rarely have cats in to the studio as they are generally MUCH happier in their own environments.  But Cadbury was just the opposite.  He came out snuggly and inquisitive and ready to be petted.  The studio flashes didn't freak him out and he was completely entranced with a piece of string!  I fell in love with him - if you are looking for a cat, he is absolutely an amazing choice! Here's his link and bio:

Cadbury was rescued from a rural area during the brutal cold snap in February.   We are glad that we were able to get to him in time, before he ended up freezing to death.   This handsome fellow is not only adorable, but he’s incredibly friendly & docile to boot!  We believe that he is a young adult as he’s quite energetic and playful.  He seems a little shy & hesitant with other cats so we think he’d do best with another young kitty who just wants someone to play with and won’t get too territorial or bossy.  Cadbury seems to really appreciate the company of dogs and thinks they are his friends too!

Adoptable Kittens and Cats from AARCS

CLOVE

 

Clove is a very outgoing 4 month old kitten. She has no fear and immediate settles into new environments. Clove loves everything and everyone; other cats, dogs, kids…you name it, Clove loves them! And oh boy, does she love to play! A typical day in the life of Clove goes like this; breakfast, play, play some more, nap, play, supper, play, snuggle on the couch with her people, play until bed time. That’s a lot of playing, but Clove also LOVES her snuggle time! She will happily curl up on your lap or shoulder and purr contently until she falls asleep. And she’s a good sleeper at night. There is no middle of the night playtime. She gets all her playing done during the day. Clove uses the litter box 100%, doesn’t scratch the furniture or get into anything that she shouldn’t. Because Clove is young and still very playful she would do best in a home with another young cat/kitten to be her buddy. If you are looking for a kitten who will provide hours of entertainment as well as soak up all the love you can give her then Clove is the kitten for you!http://aarcs.ca/portfolio-item/a20926834/

 

 

 SADIE

Sadi is a 5 year old, declawed female who came into AARCS care with her ‘sister’ Myrtle when their previous owner became ill and could no longer care for them. There is no doubt that Sadi’s previous owner loved her very much as she has a wonderful disposition and is very, very friendly. She LOVES to sit in the window and have a nap in the afternoon sun or watch the birds and squirrels in the trees. Sadi loves to be petted, get ear scratches and will sleep with her people on occasion. Sadi is curious and likes to know what is going on. She accompanies her foster Mom where ever she goes, preferring to walk along beside her rather than being carried. Sadi currently lives with other cats and a dog and gets along with everyone. It would be wonderful if Sadi was adopted with her sister Myrtle, but it’s not mandatory. Does Sadi sound like she’s the right cat to make your family complete?? http://aarcs.ca/portfolio-item/a20555407/

 

MYRTLE

Myrtle is an absolutely beautiful 5 year old female who came into AARCS care with her ‘sister’ Sadi when their previous owner became ill and could no longer care for them. Everyone that meets Myrtle comments on how beautiful and what a lovely mannered cat she is. Myrtle is a very calm, laid back lady (yes, she’s all lady!) who enjoys lounging in the sunshine and keeping her people company. She is rarely makes a sound and has a little tiny meow. Myrtle doesn’t beg for affection but if you’d like to snuggle with her then she’s all for it! She’ll happily sit on your lap or be carried around. Myrtle lives with several other cats and a dog and gets along fine with them, although her foster family is sure she’ll be happy to see the rambuncious kitten get adopted. It would be wonderful if Myrtle was adopted with her sister Sadi, but it’s not mandatory. If you are interested in Myrtle please pay her a visit, you will fall instantly in love! http://aarcs.ca/portfolio-item/a20555362/

Feline

And then I played.  I took that wonderful image of Douglas and created this painting. They have it on display at the clinic - I had a hard time letting it go!  I LOVE the texture, colours and vibe of it. The yummy-ness of it speaks to me on so many levels.

Douglas and Gunner

The amazing people at Fish Creek Pet Hospital in Shawnessy asked me to come in and spend some time capturing their wonderful clinic cat, Douglas.  What a sweetheart! Such a calm, kind energy.  And then Gunner got in to the act  - and I had so much fun with him too-he's so sweet! Here are a few of the images we got.  Drop in to the clinic to see the big one behind the reception desk.
