Little RES Q is Ontario's first registered charity reptile rescue specializing in one of the world's most misunderstood animals, the Red-eared Slider.
Starting life as a coin sized pet, sliders often grow up to a foot in length and require aquariums larger than most people assume, and many of these creatures find their way into local streams and rivers.
As a small privately-run shelter that does not receive any formal government assistance, we rely solely on donations from the public to continue our mission to provide a temporary shelter for pet turtles, lizards and snakes that are looking for their forever homes.

Meet Sunny: A Spunky, Shy, and Loving Feline Friend!

Sunny is a spirited one-year-old cat, full of personality and charm. Raised feral in a garage, he tends to be shy around strangers but reveals his goofy, playful side once he feels comfortable. This orange ball of energy loves pets, adores catnip, and insists on a clean litter box. Sunny has been litter trained from day one and only has accidents if his box isn't clean enough.

He enjoys a diet of both dry and wet food and is a fan of treats. While he drinks water like any other cat, sometimes boredom prompts him to play in it. Sunny is quite vocal when he's in a playful mood, meowing to his sister and the world around him. He loves to chase, hunt, and zoom around the house.

Building trust with Sunny takes time, but once you have it, he's incredibly affectionate. He loves wrapping himself around his foster mom's legs and asking for cuddles. Though still shy around strangers and other household members, he's slowly improving with continued exposure. Despite his initial nervousness, Sunny has never growled, bitten, or scratched. He may hiss when scared, but it's always just a small, harmless sound.

Sunny has adapted well to his foster mom's sleep schedule, sleeping through the night in her room. His days are a balanced mix of play and rest. While he generally loves his cat carrier, he becomes challenging to manage when it's time for a vet visit.

Sunny shares a strong bond with his sister, Pickles, whose sweet and shy nature perfectly complements his spicy attitude. He gets along well with other cats in the house, initially pushy but quickly adjusting to their body language. He's also fine with the household dog, though sometimes a bit nervous around him.

Given his shy disposition, Sunny would thrive in a quiet, relaxed home without small children. He needs a patient family willing to understand his hesitancy and give him the time he needs to open up and show his true, loving nature.

Like all ACR cats, Sunny has been treated for fleas and parasites and is up-to-date on vaccines.

Sunny must be adopted with Pickles.

Meet Pickles: A Sweet and Shy Feral Rescue with a Heart for Food!

Pickles is a one-year-old rescue with a gentle soul and a love for food. Though shy and timid around most people, she has warmed up to her foster mom and enjoys butt scratches, especially around dinner time. Food is the key to gaining her trust, but be careful not to leave your plate unattended, as her feral instincts might prompt her to steal your meal. Despite this, Pickles has never jumped on kitchen counters or shown food aggression towards other cats or dogs.

While hesitant about physical affection, Pickles loves being near her humans. She often sits just out of reach, keeping a watchful eye and enjoying your presence. When in the mood, she appreciates scratches on her bum but prefers to avoid touches around her neck and head. Pickles is bonded with her spunky brother, Sunny, forming a perfect pair that complement each other. With the heart of a hunter, she delights in chasing toy mice, wand toys, and is an expert fly catcher.

Pickles enjoys a diet of both dry and wet food and has a particular fondness for CatIt treats. While she likes catnip, she doesn't indulge as much as her brother does. Most of her day is spent relaxing, but she also loves exploring the house, and discovering new smells and sights.

Though she can see with both eyes, one eye has some cloudiness, and both eyes occasionally run. Daily L-lysine and probiotic supplements help manage this condition. She also has an extremely long tail that adds to her whimsical charm.

Pickles gets along well with other cats and adores her foster's female cat, purring whenever she's around. She is also fine with dogs, though sometimes a bit nervous. Due to her shy nature, Pickles would thrive in a calm home without small children. She needs patient owners who understand how to familiarize themselves with a nervous cat without pushing her boundaries. While people sometimes scare her, she has never shown any aggression, only letting out silent hisses when nervous. Her meows are rare and almost silent as well.

Pickles is prone to upper respiratory infections and sometimes requires supplements to help boost her immune system. She has scarring in one eye, which is likely due to a previous injury, but her sight is not affected. Like all ACR cats, Pickles has been treated for fleas and parasites and is up-to-date on vaccines.

Pickles must be adopted with Sunny.

Day 8 of the 12 Adoptable Pets of the Holiday Season...Casey is available through the Parrot Sanctuary!

12/20/2024

0 Comments

 
The Parrot Sanctuary is registered as a not-for-profit organization under the name of "Sammy and Oscar’s Parrot Sanctuary". It is named after the first birds taken in, back in 2004. 
Today, the Parrot Sanctuary is a parrot rescue, sanctuary and educational care centre, located in Toronto, Canada. They are a registered Not For Profit corporation.
The Parrot Sanctuary mission is to improve the well being of companion parrots, for the benefit of both the birds and their humans. 
Their goal is to help people provide a stimulating and healthy life for their companion parrots, in their home. When the parrots are not able to stay in their current home, they work to find a new home for them. Service goals include:
  • helping parrot owners, who may feel overwhelmed
  • supporting people to learn about healthy and positive parrot care, through education and resources
  • rescue, rehabilitate and rehome parrots to qualified loving homes when possible
  • providing a permanent home to birds in need of sanctuary
Given the demands on our limited budget and volunteer team for proper vet care, nutrition, and accommodation, we are unable to take in all of the “unwanted” parrots that people approach us with. We do our best to help them keep their birds, and/or find alternatives.
The facility is not open to the public, but may be visited by appointment and donation.

  • Species: Orange-Winged Amazon Parrot
  • Age: Her exact age is unknown, but she is thought to be around eight years old.
  • Health status: Casey has no known health concerns. Although she can be active at times, she likes relaxing, watching, and interacting with her people.
  • Flighted: She is fully flighted but prefers climbing when exercising. She makes great use of her cage to hang out and forage but also enjoys climbing and moving around outside her cage to play. She has not flown in the sanctuary preferring to move around with someone giving her a ride on their hand.
  • Well-socialized: Yes, she is well-socialized and friendly. Casey enjoys head scratches when she puts her head down to indicate that she’s ready to be loved up. She seeks attention from her people and engages with them. She will often enjoy taking a treat from her regular caregivers and new people as well. 
  • Good with other birds: She is easygoing and lives well in a community of smaller birds. She willingly shared out-of-cage perches and play areas. 
  • Other Pets: Casey seems to enjoy being high up in the comfort of her cage and play areas. She is best suited to a home without cats, dogs, or other predatory species.
  • Good with kids: Casey has had experiences with older, considerate children. She is friendly and outgoing once she has had the chance to get to know someone. She would be OK with older children but should be well-supervised with younger children.
  • Diet: She enjoys a diet of pellets, some healthy seeds and grains, nuts, cooked foods, fruit and veggies. That will happily eat just about anything offered; her current favourites are peanuts, almonds and sunflower seeds as treats.
  • Bio: Casey is a happy, gentle and cheerful bird. She would enjoy an active home with a family and plenty of time for play and exercise. If introduced gradually and carefully, she may live quite well with other birds or as the only one in the home. She is such a sweet bird looking for a family where she will get plenty of enrichment, love and attention. Casey will make a terrific companion for a loving caregiver.

Lady Mittens is a lovely and shy little princess. She enjoys her personal space and a couple of times per day will come to you for brush sessions and booty pets. She will observe your daily routine from her shelf and will keep you company in the bathroom guarding you from unseen monsters. At night she loves to delight you with her beautiful voice by singing the song of her people in front of your bed. She is chatty, cooing like a cute pigeon. Lady Mittens is not food motivated but she absolutely loves to be brushed! She drools in complete bliss every time!
The little potato will sleep strategically around you, in your vicinity.

She is a former feral kitty. The first few weeks she felt most comfortable behind the toilet. She had amazing progress in the last 10-11 months, though she still is skittish and stays away from your path when she sees you walk around the house. Not a fan of playing with wands or with us, she has instead her catnip toys, mouse toy and random corks and balls that keep her busy. One of her favourite pastime is to watch birds and small animals videos on YouTube. From time to time, she has vivid dreams and wakes up crying - we calm her down by talking softly to her and petting her.

The little lady has impeccable litter habits and if provided with enough scratching surfaces, she won't destroy anything that is not meant to be destroyed. She never hissed at us, bit us, swatted at us. We clean her ears and cut her claws, check her fur and eyes, teeth etc. She is a very very good girl. We noticed she likes a bit of noise around her, like people chatting or music etc. we had friends over and she was curious and friendly and very relaxed! We don't know how she is with children and other animals.

Lady Mittens has a history of constipation for which she takes daily medication and special food. Lady Mittens needs someone that has experience with shy kitties and with administration of medicine, or someone that is willing and has the patience to learn.

She is an absolute lovely soul. And if you don't mind to be loved from the distance, she is the perfect match for you. She will respond to you with a little pigeon purr when you call her. And will come and gently push her forehead in your knuckles for pets. We have this cute routine where we come at her window shelf and bow down our heads, she sniffs/kisses our forehead/heads and then bows her head down to receive kisses on her forehead. In the evenings, she calls us from the bed where she wants her fur to be brushed and yells at us if we don't hurry. In the mornings if you oversleep and she hasn't been fed, she will jump on the bed and give soft nudges and licks to your fingers until you wake up. She is a very gentle and mannered princess. Lady Mittens is also a petite lady weighing only around 3.5kg, so if one day she decides she wants to sleep on top of you, you won't even feel her. She is so tiny and so absolutely adorable! Sometimes, we forget there is a kitty in the house because of her mild nature.

We want to give her the chance to find her forever home and her forever human soulmate/servant. We hope, with a perfect match, she will open up even more from her shell.

Lady Mittens has irritable bowel disease and is prone to constipation. To manage her condition, she requires daily medication including lactulose (stool softener) and cisapride (motility aid). Lady Mittens has a heart murmur, which has been determined to be benign and requires no treatment or follow-up. She is negative for FIV and feline leukemia, has been treated for fleas and parasites, and is up-to-date on vaccines. She does really well at the vet!
