Guildwood Cat Relief





Guildwood Cat Relief is a small, private network of foster homes that work together to find loving, permanent homes for cats and kittens in need. 


Our kitties come from east Scarborough and further afield and include many that have been abandoned or surrendered due to their owner's illness, allergies, loss of housing or financial crisis. Some are young and some are old; some are healthy and some need restorative veterinary care.


IMPORTANT if you are considering adopting a GCR cat :
Thank you for considering adoption! We receive many wonderful applications from caring people like you. We would like you to know that while we wish we could respond to everyone personally, we're only able to reach out to applicants whose circumstances best match our cats' unique needs. We want to do the best for them, and finding the perfect match between our cats and their forever families is our top priority. Please allow 1 to 5 days for a reply from Guildwood Cat Relief. If you don't receive a reply then likely your application was denied by the adoption team.

Fabian

SEE ME ON PETFINDER

Colour: DSH russian blue mix
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes.

Good with Dogs:
Unknown
Available Programs: Adoption, Foster-to-Adopt


Hello there! I’m an easy-going, affectionate fellow who comes up to you to give you kisses and patiently waits for you to come to bed each evening. I often roll around luxuriously on whatever I'm lying on - chairs, bookshelves etc. - in the hopes of attracting your attention and maybe receiving a nice tummy rub or two. I'm also social and curious; happy to get to know your friends when they come, I also like to investigate new objects or odd spaces. Now and again I'll play with catnip toys or a couple of springs, or watch the action outside from a window. I'd love a quiet, adult home where people appreciate me for my personality as well as my silvery sheen!


Adoption Fee: $200

Contessa (aka Tessa)

SEE ME ON PETFINDER
Age: 1 year
Gender: female
Colour: DSH black
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes.
Good with Other Cats: Yuck! No thanks!
Good with Dogs:
No
Available Programs: Adoption, Foster-to-Adopt


Meet Contessa—Tessa.

This sweet-tempered, affectionate, smart little girl with the big, innocent eyes loves being near you. She'll supervise your Zoom calls from the desk corner, claim the other couch cushion during a Netflix binge, and choose to sleep on your bed. Confident, social, she loves to play with her humans (think wand toys or laser pointers); trying to play with other kitties or younger kids isn’t her scene. Tessa fits in very easily; she will thrive with people who like a friendly, sometimes goofy cat who has been known to stretch her legs across her litter box while sleeping beside it for reasons only she understands. If you want a devoted companion with secretarial skills and genuine personality, that's Tessa.

Colour: DSH brown tabby mix
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes.
Good with Other Cats: I toleragteNo thank you!
Good with Dogs:
Unknown
Available Programs: Adoption, Foster-to-Adopt


I’m a personable, affectionate kitty with unusually expressive eyes who thinks human companionship is the best. I tend to roll around on the floor when I'm happy, and I really love pets and cuddles. I can be quiet and curious at first but soon you’ll discover that I love to play too, both alone and with you. I even get the zoomies sometimes. Some of my favourite things are hanging out  somewhere nearby while you work, enjoying my afternoon siesta on the sofa to the fullest, and watching the birds and the squirrels compete for the peanuts my foster home’s neighbours put out every day. But I’d give up bird-watching in a heartbeat for a forever home with a nice family! 


Adoption Fee: $200

Cameron ("Cam")

SEE ME ON PETFINDER!
Age: 5 years
Gender: male
Colour: DSH dilute orange/white tabby
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes.
Good with Other Cats: They're OK but I'd really like to be someone's one-and-only!
Good with Dogs:
No
Available Programs: Adoption, Foster-to-Adopt


Cam is a calm, quiet and affectionate boy with large, sensitive eyes that radiate kindness and good will. Although he knows how to be independent, he  prefers humans who will appreciate his discreet, loyal  secretarial and kitchen services in the home. What shines out in Cam is that quiet, committed companionship,  whether you're doing laundry, working or  sleeping..  Cam also loves to spend time perched by the window watching the birds and the squirrels outside. He would love a quiet forever home with lots of sunny windows where he could indulge his hobby to his heart’s content. Sweet, gentle Cam is a real “best friend for life” – he grows on you. 


Adoption Fee: $200

Beckett

SEE ME ON PETFINDER
Age: 5 years
Gender: male
Colour: DSH black manx
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes.
Good with Other Cats: Not really.
Good with Dogs:
Unknown
Available Programs: Adoption, Foster-to-Adopt


Meet Beckett — affectionately nicknamed "Rumpy" by his volunteers, a loving nod to his signature tail-free Manx behind. At five years old, Beckett has grown into a deeply friendly and affectionate soul, a true “personality” who knows exactly what he wants: your company and that of your visitors, a cozy couch, and a good toy to carry around. He loves rolling around beside you and soaking up attention, but he's equally content tussling energetically with his scratching post and entertaining himself with his toys — and he makes an exceptionally large variety of endearing little sounds as he parades around the house with them in his mouth. If you're really lucky, he might leave one in your bed or on his dinner plate as a very special gift. You may notice one of his eyes looks a little different - another kitten scratched it in play when he was small and his then-owner ignored the resultant infection - but he is now fully healed and living his absolute best life, happy and healthy. At Guildwood Cat Relief, we believe in quality over quantity, and Beckett is the kind of cat who gives everything he has to the people he loves. Oh — and one more thing — he's dog-friendly too, making him a wonderful fit for a multi-pet household.


Adoption Fee: $200

Egerton

SEE ME ON PETFINDER
Age: 4.5 years
Gender: male
Colour: DSH black tabby
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes.
Good with Other Cats: Other kitties no problem!
Good with Dogs:
No
Available Programs: Adoption, Foster-to-Adopt


Egerton is a gentleman with a past.

This handsome, self-possessed 4-5 year old black striped tabby (rarer than brown) came to his foster family as a winter stray, missing half his tail. He's since gained weight as well as shiny fur, is very relieved that beds are superior to garden sheds, and has appointed himself the faithful honour guard who is present without being pushy. He's unreservedly affectionate, politely invested in meal times and always open to pets and cuddles. Although this relaxed guy knows how to be independent, he will claim his spot on the bed every night. He would thrive in an experienced, calm household where his humans appreciate low-key companionship over high-energy antics.  If you want a loyal, smart, sensitive cat who'll share your space as a real companion - complete with the chubby cheeks to prove he's done with hard times - Egerton's your man.


Adoption Fee: $200

Boswell

SEE ME ON PETFINDER!
Age: 2 years
Gender: male
Colour: Domestic longhair black silver smoke
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes.
Good with Other Cats: I like to interact with humans, although other kitties are okay.
Good with Dogs:
No
Available Programs: Adoption, Foster-to-Adopt


How about a sweet-natured, affectionate guy with silky fur and dog-level smarts who likes to give you extremely delicate kisses to say "good night" before sleeping on that extra pillow you got me? I'm sociable, outgoing and faithful, and I can learn tricks with you. I can also figure out in a second or two how to squeeze myself into the smallest of boxes or that paper shopping bag you just emptied.  I do relish a good play session, because being around my humans and engaging with them is what makes me happy. I would really like to find a forever home that appreciates my gifts - personality, intelligence and devotion.  


Adoption Fee: $200

Bonded Pairs

All cats in this section have been spayed/neutered and fully vaccinated.

Orestes (Bonded with Orion)

SEE ME ON PETFINDER!
Age: 10 months
Gender: male
Colour: DSH ginger orange tabby
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes.
Good with Other Cats: Yes, but my brother is my BFF
Good with Dogs:
No
Available Programs: Adoption, Foster-to-Adopt

Orion(Bonded with Orestes)

SEE ME ON PETFINDER!
Age: 10 months
Gender: male
Colour: DSH ginger orange tabby
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes.
Good with Other Cats: Yes, but my brother is my bff.
Good with Dogs:
No
Available Programs: Adoption, Foster-to-Adopt

Bonded brothers Orion and Orestes both come with a little something extra — they’re polydactyls. Orion has one extra toe on each front paw and Orestes has two on each front paw and one on each back paw, which, as his foster mum likes to say, is just more of him to love. But their paws aren’t the only thing that makes these handsome, smallish ginger tabby boys special. Both boys are affectionate, easygoing and confident; they love cuddles and pets, like to snuggle into your chest – they don’t mind being picked up - and just radiate positive energy. Gentle and trusting, they have yet to scratch or bite, and are equally happy chasing a ball or taking an afternoon snooze on your bed. Although they’re both people-oriented, Orestes is the more extrovert of the two, while Orion is the quieter, more reflective one. Having come a long way from their precarious  beginnings, these bonded siblings are  ready for the next chapter of their young lives, looking forward to a family home  that appreciates their enthusiasm for life and natural good-naturedness.

Adoption Fee: $350 for the pair

Sawney (Bonded with Reyna)

SEE ME ON PETFINDER!
Age: 1 year
Gender: male
Colour: DMH Scottish Fold, tabby/white
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes.
Good with Other Cats: Yes, I like gentle ones and sometimes give them headbutts.
Good with Dogs:
No
Available Programs: Adoption, Foster-to-Adopt

This always good-natured, intelligent boy will follow you around hoping for pets and cuddles, and flop at the drop of a hat. He loves to lie in boxes and bags and is sweet and docile with his humans, although very occasionally he can be seen inexplicably racing around with the zoomies. Sawney  just wants to bond with his humans, sleep on their bed and become a valuable member of the family. He is one of those kitties whose personality somehow stays with you. He'd love to be adopted with his little sister Reyna to a quiet, adult home. 

Reyna (Bonded with Sawney)

SEE ME ON PETFINDER!
Age: 1 year
Gender: female
Colour: DMH Scottish Fold, white/tabby
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes.
Good with Other Cats: Yes, I like gentle ones and sometimes give them headbutts.
Good with Dogs:
No
Available Programs: Adoption, Foster-to-Adopt


I am a loving, gentle, sunny little soul who may be miniature in size but makes up for it in loyalty and companionship. Smart and sweetly vocal (especially at dinnertime), I love to sleep beside you by night and help you work by day by just quietly being somewhere close. I'd be tickled pink if I could be adopted together with my brother Sawney to a quiet, adult home.

Adoption Fee: $350 for the pair

Nicole (Bonded with Martin)

SEE ME ON PETFINDER!
Age: 2.5 years
Gender: female
Colour: DSH brown tabby and white
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Good with Other Cats: We like other kitties, but would prefer to be together!
Good with Dogs: Not sure
Available Programs:  Adoption and Foster-to-Adopt

Martin (Bonded with Nicole)

SEE ME ON PETFINDER!
Age:
2.5 years
Gender: male
Colour: DSH black
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Good with Other Cats: We like other kitties, but would prefer to be together!

Good with Dogs: Not sure
Available Programs:  Adoption and Foster-to-Adopt

Cousins Nicole and Martin are gentle, trusting and affectionate kitties, small in build, who love to come for pets and cuddles when they see you are available. A wide-eyed, feminine sort of little girl, Nicole likes to interact with her humans on a bed, sofa or chair as opposed to the floor, while Martin is straightforward and enthusiastic about treats anywhere! Both can usually be found hanging out somewhere near you, not necessarily together but aware of each other’s location. Sweetly bonded as they are, they would really like to be adopted together to a quiet adult home. 

Adoption Fee: $350 for the pair
