Adopted Cats 2013


"Shooby" was a sweet little nine-and-a-half-month old boy who was brought for help on October 12, 2013 when he was found to have lost a lot of weight and had a terrible upper respiratory problem.  As he badly needed help, he was rescued by people who left a large donation for his care and who will help find him a home.

Shooby is quiet, loving and a real gentleman.  He wants only to be with a human to whom he can show his admiration and affection.  He's doing well and is grateful for the chance to become healthy and have someone love him.  He particularly loves kids and other cats.

On December 28, 2013, Shooby met a young couple who chose him to be part of their family.  They will live together in Halifax.  Merry Christmas!  Please write often!


 

"Archie" came to us on November 20, 2013 from Centreville.  Early that morning we got a call about a mother cat who had gotten her head stuck in a glass jar.  She had succeeded in breaking the jar, but the glass ring was still around her neck as it had been for several weeks.  It was believed that the jar was cutting her neck.  She had six tiny babies that she was nursing and had no shelter.  Kind people were trying to feed her, but she was very scared.

Archie does not appear to be her kitten, but he obviously needed help.  They had no food and very little shelter from the extremely cold wind.  Archie's rescuers caught him when he went into a cat carrier for food.  He was taken to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic where he was determined to have been born about July 20, 2013.  He was very thin, starving, had fleas and was semi-feral, but he quickly learned that people can be good things!  He is now very affectionate and cuddly.  He was vaccinated and tested for FIV and FeLV, both of which were negative.  He is now neutered.

On December 23, 2013 he was chosen by a family in Fredericton to be their newest member.  Congratulations, Archie!  Merry Christmas!



"Eloise" arrived at DunRoamin' on December 6, 2013.  She was one of more than 140 animals (including dogs, cats, birds, pot-bellied pigs, chinchillas and gerbils) seized by the SPCA in Fredericton on December 3, 2013.  DunRoamin' was one of several shelters and rescues asked to assist in helping some of the dozens of cats to regain their health and to find loving homes.  Eloise and her four friends Chirp, Boulder, Wazowski and Wallowitz were picked up and transported by Dr Monteith of the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic who chose the ones who required more intense medical attention.

Eloise was about seven years old and is an unspayed chocolate-point Siamese.  She had moderate discharge and conjunctivitis in her eyes, fleas, was very thin, mildly dehydrated and had marked periodontal disease and stomatitis.  She tested positive for FIV.  She was the most timid of all five.  She was vaccinated, given parasite medication, antibiotics and underwent dental surgery.  She was also spayed.

On December 23, 2013, Eloise was chosen as a friend for Ophelia (see below) and she will now live in Plaster Rock with the best family she could ever dream of.  What a Christmas present!  Merry Christmas to all!



"Loki" came to us on April 25, 2013 from Plaster Rock where he had become very sick and his owners had not been able to care for him.

Loki was born about September 1, 2013 and has problems with his liver.  He's doing very well right now and was fortunate to have the opportunity to live in a foster home.  He's a real sweetheart who adores people and is at his best when there's a human by his side.  He's presently fostered with the family of a vet tech from the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic.  I think we might have to say he's her favourite!  She reports that he's the most cuddly cat she's seen in a long time!  He LOVES people and LOVES to cuddle!

On December 20, 2013, Loki decided that he should become their Christmas present, so what could his family possibly say?  They belong to him, and that's all there is to it!  Congratulations, Loki!  Merry Christmas to you and your family!  Send us family photos!

"Ophelia" came to us on November 4, 2013 from Somerville.  She's about nine years old and was already spayed.  She has one blue eye and one green eye.  She had fleas, was thin, had pus in both ears and most of her teeth were already gone. Her eyes were running and she had bloody nasal discharge from sneezing so much.  She tested positive for FIV** (please read below).

Ophelia's immediate medical concerns were addressed at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and she's already doing much better.  She deserves some love and comfort after surviving for so many years. 

Update:  November 11, 2013 - Ophelia is the most affectionate cat you'll ever meet.  She LOVES people!  She wants to be picked up and will collapse dreamily into your arms as though she doesn't have a bone in her body!  She kneads, rolls and purrs up a storm.  She is VERY grateful for the chance she's been given and promises to show that gratitude dozens of times daily to the family who promises to treasure and adore her in return.

On December 20, 2013, Ophelia got her Christmas wish.  She'll be the newest member of a family in Plaster Rock who loves cats more than she'll ever believe.  Thanks to Mike and Lucy for changing yet another life!  We wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

** FIV is contagious to other cats through blood and saliva.  It is reasonably difficult to spread, however, and now believed to be mostly spread through deep bite wounds.  Obviously it would be ideal if FIV positive cats only lived with other FIV positive cats, but currently some of the large rescue centers in the US have been studying multi-cat households with FIV-positive cats living with FIV-negative cats and have so far found the risk to the non-FIV-cats to be very small, assuming that the cats are all spayed/neutered and used to living in groups (ie:  not as likely to fight).


"Comfy"came to us on October 29, 2013 from the Pembroke area where he had been thrown from a vehicle.  Assessment at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic determined that he had marked bruising, scrapes and wounds over his entire body of varying degrees of severity including damage to his left lower eyelid, entire top of his head, all four legs, left front wrist, injured tendons, etc.  He had fleas and was thin. 

Thanks to the veterinary skills available at the Florenceville Vet Clinic, Comfy's doing very well and is already anxiously awaiting his turn at a permanent home.  In the meantime he loves playing with his friend Samuel.  He's spring-loaded and ready for fun!

On December 16, 2013, Comfy was adopted by a gentleman in Woodstock where he'll spend his very first Christmas ever.  We're sure it'll be a great one.  Merry Christmas, Comfy!  Please write soon.



"Hotchner" came to DunRoamin' on the morning of October 5, 2013 from the Woodstock area where he was part of a colony a young lady was trying to get spayed and neutered so that they would not continue to contribute to the growing cat population in the Broadway Street area.  Hotchner was born about August 15, 2013 and weighed less than half a pound.  His siblings weighed two and three times as much and Hotch was failing to thrive.

Hotch was sick, underweight, had an eye infection and fleas.  He underwent care for two months at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and has come a very long way.

On December 12, 2013, Hotch was adopted by a family in Florenceville where he'll be the new brother of Garreth, now known as Loki (see below).  His new name will be "Thor."  Merry Christmas, Thor!


"Lindt" came to us on the early afternoon of December 4, 2013 when a man brought a carrier of five cats to DunRoamin', insisting that we take them.  As we are a rescue as opposed to a shelter, several other options were presented to him as ways to find homes for his cats.  However, he dropped the carrier on the floor and ran from the building, abandoning all five cats.  They appeared to be about 10 months old, born about February 1, 2013. Lindt is a unique chocolate brown and appears to have Siamese characteristics.

Lindt, her three brothers and sister were immediately spayed or neutered and vaccinated.  All tested negative for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.  Lindt is the most social of the group and seems to be the glue that holds them together.  They are more comfortable when they see she's comfortable.

On December 8, 2013, Lindt was chosen by a lady to come live with her in Simonds.  Lindt is very loving and will be a most agreeable roommate!  Merry Christmas, Lindt.  We're so grateful you will have a loving family!  Merry Christmas!


"Gypsy" came to DunRoamin' on the afternoon of October 24, 2013 from Woodstock.  She had been one of several stray kittens in the area and a lady who was trying to help them realized that she had a badly-infected eye and asked for help for her.  Gypsy definitely needed the assistance.  She was born about August 15, 2013.

Upon assessment at the Florencevile Veterinary Clinic it was determined that Gypsy had earmites and worms, but her biggest problem was the fact that her right eye was seriously infected to the point that she might have to lose it.  She's been on antibiotics and other medications to attempt to save it, and it looks like she'll be just fine.  Gypsy is a very loving little girl.  She kneads and purrs constantly, no doubt happy and grateful to be warm, safe, fed and have a chance to save her eye. 

On December 8, 2013, Gypsy was chosen to be the newest member of a family in Woodstock where she'll be the first cat for her dog, Aspen, another ex-DunRoamin' stray.  Thanks for giving her a home.  Merry Christmas, everyone!


"Spicy" and her sister Tomali (see below) came to us on October 8, 2013.  They were three-week old kittens whose mother had been killed on the road in Clearview two days previously.  They had been found on the side of the road in a box from which the mother escaped.  Two other siblings had already passed away and a third died on it's way to us.  They were emaciated, had fleas, were hypothermic and dehydrated.

Spicy is a beautiful long-haired grey and white little girl who flourished with the care she received at the Florenceville Vet Clinic.  She's very loving and playful.

On December 8, 2013, Spicy was adopted by a couple who has fallen in love with her.  They have several other pets, including Cashmere, another ex-DunRoamin' stray.  Congratulations, Spicy.  Please send us updates.  Merry Christmas!!


"Tess" came to us on September 6, 2013 from Limestone, NB where she had been found.  She was born about the middle of April 2013 and had sustained too many injuries in her short life. 

The tip of Tess's tail was dead and infected and had to be amputated, leaving a one-inch stub.  She had a bad eye infection and she was dehydrated.  She also had a tumour growing in her ear and throat.  This was removed and tests proved it was not cancerous, but her other injuries were serious and required much skill by her vet at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic.  After some skillful medical care, Tess decided she'd be fine!  She's much too young to have had this many terrible things to deal with all alone, and since all her medical problems had been addressed, we've promised her a safe and loving home . . .

On December 8, 2013, Tess was adopted by a lady in Woodstock.  She'll be a new friend for her dogs and cats, one of whom was also adopted on this date - McCauley (see below).  We wish you and your entire family a great Christmas, Tess.  Please stay in touch.


"McCauley" and her family of five additional siblings came to us on March 28, 2013 from the Centreville area where they had been living since they were born about May 5, 2011  Her family could no longer keep them due to medical and financial reasons and there was potential for them to be released to try to survive on their own or they could be shot.   All were healthy but had not been spayed.  They are now. 

They're beautiful, loving cats who are very quiet and affectionate.  They deserved neither fate.  McCauley's siblings McCartney, McKenna, McHale and McCaffrey and have all found homes.  Her sister MacInnis is still waiting.

On December 8, 2013 McCauley attended Olive's Christmas party where she met a lady who fell in love with her beauty and personality.  She'll now live in Woodstock with two dogs and some cats who will be her new family.  Congratulations, McCauley!  Merry Christmas!


"Red Rose," Earl Grey, Pekoe, Tetley and Chai came to us on October 10, 2013 from Upper Woodstock.  Their rescuer had seen a pregnant stray in the area for several days.  On October 4 they noticed baby kittens but no mother anywhere in the vicinity.  They began caring for the kittens in the hope that their mother would return, but she did not.  The kittens were born on October 7, 2013. 

The babies were very thin, hypothermic and dehydrated.  Their temperatures were raised to a safe level and they received subcutaneous fluids twice a day as part of their around-the-clock medical care and attention by a loving vet tech who has given her all to them.  We can't say thank you enough . . .  We're sad to report that little Chai passed away on October 13, 2013.    Pekoe and Tetley left us on November 16, 2013 and Earl Grey passed away on November 17, 2013.  Please read about them on our Memorials page.  As you can see, Red Rose is thriving and was eager to have a home for Christmas. 

On December 8, 2013 Rose got her wish when she attended Olive's Christmas party where she met the family of her dreams.  Her friend Zeta was also invited to join her as a new family member.  This is the blessing of Christmas.  Thank you.


"Zeta" came to DunRoamin' on October 29, 2013 from a barn in Florenceville where she was found on a cement floor.  Her littermate was already dead.  Zeta was very hypothermic (freezing) and moved barely enough to let her rescuer know she was still alive.  She was rushed to medical care at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic where her temperature was brought back to normal.  Zeta was born about October 10, 2013.

Zeta recovered well and quickly became strong enough to demand loudly to be fed when she was hungry.  She loves to play, roll on her back and bite your nose and chin when you cuddle her close to your face.  She loves other cats with whom she plays, cuddles and sleeps.   She climbs willingly into her carrier for a nap and also cuddles with her stuffed animal. 

On December 8, 2013 Zeta met a man who immediately fell in love with her.  She'll now live in Woodstock with her new family which also includes her friend Red Rose (see above).  Thanks to these people for giving her her favourite Christmas wish!


"Tomali" and her sister Spicy came to us on October 8, 2013.  They were three-week old kittens whose mother had been killed on the road in Clearview two days previously.  They had been found on the side of the road in a box from which the mother escaped.  Two other siblings had already passed away and a third died on it's way to us.  They were emaciated, had fleas, were hypothermic and dehydrated.

Tomali is a short-haired grey tabby.  She and her sister did very well thanks to the care they received at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic.  They'd like to grow up in the warmth of a family.

On December 7, 2013, Tomali was welcomed into her new home in Perth where she'll be loved by a very nice young couple who already love her beyond measure.  They are fostering her friend Dorian who will most probably also become a permanent family member very soon.  Congratulations!!  This is the BEST Christmas of all!!


"Caspion" came to DunRoamin' on August 10, 2013.  He had been born about  June 15, 2013.  A man from Woodstock brought her to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and fled, leaving him and his eight siblings in a box for DunRoamin' to care for.  They had been left in a box on his deck while he was away from home.

Caspion was probably the most scared of all, but he took comfort in the presence of his family and the abundance of love shown by DunRoamin' volunteers.  Now he's every bit as comfortable, loving, playful, secure and affectionate as any of his siblings.  He melts into your arms as if he doesn't have a bone in his body!  He's unique in the fact that while he's mostly black with white, his whiskers are perfectly white!

On December 7, 2013, Caspion met his new mother.  He'll now live in Bristol with his new family which includes a three-year old daughter with whom he'll grow up.  Congratulations, Caspion!  You got your Christmas wish!!  Yeahhhhh!!


"Willow," Wicklow (adopted November 13) and their brother Wimbledon (adopted September 14) came from Wicklow on July 8, 2013.  A young man driving on the Old Trans Canada Highway noticed a dead mother cat on the side of the road.  One kitten was thrashing about and three others were on the roadside.  By the time he got his car stopped and moved the three kittens to safety, the fourth baby had passed away.  They were born about June 10, 2013 and were just beginning to eat on their own.  They obviously missed their mother and were scared. 

Willow and her siblings would never have survived on their own.  They were spayed/neutered, vaccinated and given all the love and care possible.  Willow is a very happy and playful little girl who loves cats, dogs, kids and everything in between.  She's full of kitten antics!  On November 19 she went to a foster home in Beechwood where she so endeared herself that . . .

. . . on December 5, 2013 she was invited to be a full-fledged family member!  She'll now live forever with Snickers, another ex-DunRoamin' cat and her new loving family!  Congratulations, Willow!  Merry Christmas!

 

"Neo" came to DunRoamin' on July 24, 2012 from Stickney where he had been found.  He had a very bad upper respiratory infection, was cold, had a low body temperature and was dehydrated.  He was born about June 15, 2012, so he was just a baby who would not survive without help.

Neo's medical needs were addressed.  His upper respiratory infection was so severe that it became necessary to remove his left eye, but he's just fine now.  He is a lovely little boy who waited patiently for the perfect someone to come take him home, but he knew long before anyone else that he was already home.  He had been fostered by a loving vet tech and . . .

. . . on December 3, 2013 she gave us the word that he would never be leaving her side.  Neo is grateful for his family and DunRoamin' is grateful to them as well.  He couldn't have a better or a more loving home and family.  Thank you for everything.


This is "Rosalee." She came to DunRoamin' on November 27, 2012, from Coldstream where she was a stray. She had received an injury to her tail and it had fallen off as a result. Not fun! She was scared, but she overcame that with lots of TLC.  She may be Dawson's mom.   She was born about the end of November, 2009, so she's about two years old.

Rosalee is a little bit nervous, but once she gets to know you she's fine. She just needs a permanent safe, warm, loving environment and she'll give her thanks every day. She was fostered in Waterville as of November 19, 2013 and . . .

. . . on December 3, 2013, we learned that she was welcomed as a permanent family member.  She'll join Hearts and Groves, two friends with whom she's lived for a long time, so she'll have her old family with her to join her new family.  Congratulations!


"Hearts" came to DunRoamin' on October 5, 2012 from Centreville where he was found by a compassionate woman. He was barely alive, was very cold and anemic. Intensive vet care brought him back to where he should be, and he's grateful to his medical staff who has given him a second chance. He lived with Rosalie (see above) and Groves (see below) who are his best friends.  He was born about the middle of May 2012.

Hearts is very loving and affectionate and you'd never know that he had been in such dire straits. His favourite words are "food" and "thank you."  He's been waiting for a home for more than a year, so . . .

. . . on December 3, 2013 he was overjoyed to hear that he'd been invited to join the family of a lady in Waterville who also welcomed his best friends Groves and Rosalee into her home.  Best Christmas present EVER, huh, Hearts?!?

 
"McCaffrey" and her family came to us on March 28, 2013 from the Centreville area where they had been living since they were born about April 13, 2012.  Her family could no longer keep them due to medical and financial reasons and there was potential for them to be released to try to survive on their own or they could be shot.  All were healthy but had not been spayed.  They are now.

They're beautiful, loving cats who are very quiet and affectionate.  They deserved neither fate.  McCaffrey is very loving and affectionate, as are all her friends.  She's a beautiful little girl who loves other cats, dogs and kids.

On November 29, 2013 McCaffrey was chosen by a family in Bristol to be their newest member where she'll live with other cats, dogs and kids.  Congratulations, McCaffrey.  Send lots of photos, okay?

"Heath" came to DunRoamin' on August 10, 2013.  He had been born about  June 15, 2013.  A man from Woodstock came to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and left him and his eight siblings (see below) in a box and then fled, leaving DunRoamin' to care for them.

Heath is a very cuddly little boy.  He's the first one to climb onto a lap and knead, and he's as playful as you could ever imagine.  Who needs a TV for entertainment when Heath and his siblings are around??  Heath is waiting for his home.  He deserves a good one.

On November 12, 2013, Heath was chosen to join the family of Falls Brook Centre where he'll live happily ever.  Congratulations to you and your new family!

"Groves" came to us on November 27, 2012. She and her sister Foster needed help. Groves had a severe injury from her ankle to the hip of her right hind leg and was put on pain medication and antibiotics. She was born about June 1, 2012.

Groves was very timid. Her injuries have healed, but she still needs attention so that she'll be more comfortable with people. Our student volunteers are making sure she gets lots of love and cuddling and she's come a very long way.  She'd like a quiet home with not too many loud distractions, a human who will dedicate their love to her and at least one other cat for a friend.  She hopes for a safe, warm home as soon as possible where she can bond with a human and become the cat she'd like to be.

On November 13, 2013 Groves was adopted by a lady in Waterville who has a nice, quiet and loving home.  She'll enjoy the company of her friend Wicca as well (see below).  We know she'll settle in and be well loved.  Congratulations, Groves!

"Wicklow" and her brother Wimbledon (adopted September 14) and sister Willow came from Wicklow on July 8, 2013.  A young man driving on the Old Trans Canada Highway noticed a dead mother cat on the side of the road.  One kitten was thrashing about and three others were on the roadside.  By the time he got his car stopped and moved the three kittens to safety, the fourth baby had passed away.  They were born about June 10, 2013 and were just beginning to eat on their own.  They obviously missed their mother and were scared.  Willow and her siblings would never survive have survived on their own.  On September 26, 2013 Wicklow went to be fostered with a young couple in Woodstock.

On November 13, 2013 we learned that Wicklow had ingratiated herself into the family and wanted to become a permanent member so she could spend the rest of her life with her new friends which includes a dog as well!  Congratulations, Wicklow!  Write soon and send photos of you and your family!!

On November 2, 2012, "Upton," and his brothers Urban and Uzi were left at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic. They were found near a school in Woodstock and were brought to DunRoamin' to be assessed by vet staff at the Clinic under the guise of being sick. They had only a few fleas which were treated and paid for by DunRoamin'. These kittens were healthy, happy, playful and very social. The people who left them refused to return for them and had "far too much going on to be concerned . . ." about them, their status or welfare.  They were born about September 15, 2012.

Upton is the cuddler of the trio and was always looking for a lap or some arms to jump into.  He is very sure of himself and likes dogs.  If no person is available, sleeping on the dog will do just fine!  He was fostered with his adopted brother Uzi in Perth-Andover.

On November 5, 2013, Upton was officially adopted by his foster family where he'll happily play and cuddle with his brother and new mother for the rest of his life!  What a lucky boy!  Send lots of family photos!!

"McHale" and her family came to us on March 28, 2013 from the Centreville area where they had been living.  McHale was born April 13, 2012.  Her family could no longer keep them due to medical and financial reasons and there was potential for them to be released to try to survive on their own, or they could be shot. All were healthy but had not been spayed.  They are now.

They're beautiful, loving cats who are very quiet and affectionate.  They deserved neither fate.  On September 12, 2013 McHale received a generous offer to become a foster cat in Johnville.  She'll get some experience at living with a real family while she awaits her very own permanent family.

On November 5, 2013 McHale was adopted by the loving foster family whom she had completely won over.  She loves her ferret friend with whom she plays and is great company for her human family also.  We await a family photo, McHale!!

"McKenna" and her family and friends came to us on March 28, 2013 from the Centreville area where they had been living since they were born about May 5, 2011  Her family could no longer keep them due to medical and financial reasons and there was potential for them to be released to try to survive on their own or they could be shot. All were healthy but had not been spayed.  They are now. 

They're beautiful, loving cats who are very quiet and affectionate.  They deserved neither fate.  McKenna and all her siblings are very loving cats.  They're the first to greet people at the door with their tails held high.

On October 31, 2013, McKenna was adopted by a lady in Coldstream.  She was very happy to learn that her friend, McCartney, was going with her.  Thanks to her new family.  Please keep us up to date on how they're doing!

"McCartney" and his family and friends came to us on March 28, 2013 from the Centreville area where they had been living since they were born about April 13, 2012.  His family could no longer keep them due to medical and financial reasons and there was potential for them to be released to try to survive on their own or they could be shot. All were healthy, but had not been spayed or neutered. They are now.

They're beautiful, loving cats who are very quiet and affectionate.  They deserved neither fate.  McCartney is a very loving boy who particularly likes the feet of one of our volunteers!

On October 31, 2013 McCartney was adopted by a lady in Coldstream.  His friend McKenna was also chosen as a new family member, so we're glad they'll stay together.  Please send us a Christmas postcard, McCartney!  We'll miss you and McKenna!

"Grissom" came to us from the Broadway Street area of Woodstock on September 14, 2013.  A lady has been trying to help the ubiquitous homeless strays there for several years.  Today Grissom was observed to be in distress so was brought for help.  He was born about September 2010.

Grissom was dehydrated and had fleas, but his biggest problem was the long-term infection he had on all four legs.  He was in dire need of assistance and thankfully he finally got it.  He was scared, but aware that people were trying to help him.  He's been in bad shape for awhile, and he's suffered. Grissom received the care he needed and . . .

. . . on October 31, 2013 he was adopted to a home near Perth-Andover where he'll be allowed to live as a feral cat under the watchful eye of people who will feed and shelter him.  He's going to be fine now.  Thanks to all who helped him.

"Ichabod" came to DunRoamin' from Upper Kent on October 16, 2012. He had been hanging around a home for about two days and had already been neutered, so had belonged to someone at some point in his life.

Ichabod was skinny, had many fleas and had several open and infected sores on his paws. He was very quiet and unsure of himself when he first arrived, but quickly became quite vocal in demanding attention if a human walked by! He's a really affectionate cat who loves to cuddle.  He was fostered in Wakefield by some wonderful cat (and dog) people!

On October 31, 2013 he was adopted by a family in Woodstock where he is the perfect friend and confidant of a young boy who has been waiting for him.  They're inseparable and love each other dearly.  Ichabod thanks his foster family for caring for him since December 15, 2012.  He's grateful for the love that he's learned from you.  He'll pay it forward for sure.

"Cara" came to DunRoamin' on August 10, 2013.  She had been born about  June 15, 2013.  A man from Woodstock brought her and her eight siblings to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and then fled, leaving them in a box for DunRoamin' to care for.  They had been left in a box on his deck while he was away from home.

Cara was the smallest and the most timid, but that didn't last long.  She quickly became the first one to greet you and to climb on your lap or shoulder.  She loves attention and every person she's ever met!  She and her brother Bowen were fostered by a family in Riverbank, and on . . .

. . . October 29, 2013 it became official!  She's a permanent family member!  She and Bowen (see below) are the newest best friends of two young girls who love them dearly.  Congratulations, Cara.  We're glad you and your brother get to stay together.

 

"Zdeno" came to us on July 25, 2013 from Bairdsville where he had been left on the side of the road in a box with his three brothers.  His mom had apparently gotten out of the box and been struck and killed by a car.  Zdeno was born about July 10, 2013.

He was fostered by a vet tech to ensure he received the medical care he required.  As you can see by his baby photo, he's come a very long way to be healthy and happy.  His siblings were not fortunate enough to survive.  You can read about them on our Pet Memorials page.

On October 29, 2013 Zdeno was adopted by a lady in Woodstock.  He'll now live with two humans, one kitten and two dogs.  And his vet tech foster mother will visit regularly, 'cause his new mom's only one of the many people who fell under his spell!  Congratulations, Zdeno! 

"Bolt" came to us on August 10, 2012 from Centreville where he had been dropped off at a barn.  He was in danger of being drowned as the people were not happy to have more cats at their location.

Bolt had an eye infection and was very skinny.  He was born about July 15, 2011.  He's a very affectionate boy and he's just wishing for that one special home where he can be part of a family.  He's quiet, unassuming and will be no trouble at all!  He'll just be your best friend.

On October 24, 2013 Bolt was chosen as the newest member of a family in Lakeville where he'll be a new friend for both cats and kids.  He's waited for what seems FOREVER, but the best things are always worth the wait!  He's very grateful!  And he's happy that his friend Sterling (see below) is going with him!  Write soon, Bolt!

Happy Birthday, Dear Ba-anks!  Happy Birthday to you!

"Banks" came from Riverbank on May 15, 2013 when she was found all alone and not feeling very well.  Banks was very thin, had an upper respiratory infection which made it hard for her to breathe and had earmites and fleas which made her very uncomfortable.

Banks was born about the middle of October, 2012.  She's just a little girl who may not grow to be very large.  She's a real sweetheart who loves people and other cats.  She just wants a family of her very own to love her.

On October 20, 2013 DunRoamin' had a birthday party for Banks.  Many of her friends attended to express their best wishes and bring her presents and donations, for which she is so very grateful.  But the best birthday gift of all was . . .

. . . a new family!  On October 20, 2013, Banks was adopted by a family in Plaster Rock where she will be a new sister to ex-DunRoamin' strays Janice, Obi, Kringle, Oleg and Joplin.  Thanks SO much to this family for making her first birthday the best she'll ever have!  You just can't top a loving family!!

"Sterling" came to DunRoamin' on the late afternoon of September 27, 2013.  He had been found with four tiny kittens in a box in Edmundston.  One had already passed away, probably of starvation as they are barely old enough to eat on their own.  The SPCA was called, but they were not willing to care for them and euthanization instructions were given.  Neither the person rescuing them nor their new vet was willing to allow this to occur.

Sterling is about a year and a half old and all that he required was some medication for his earmites.  He is otherwise calm, quiet, loving, affectionate and happy to have some love and attention.  He's obviously been around people and he's such a nice boy to have stayed with the baby kittens.  Perhaps they're his daughters, or nieces!

On October 20, 2013, Sterling met a couple from Lakeville.  He will be the newest addition to their family, and his buddy Bolt (see above) is going with him!!  He looks forward to a long and happy life!

"Regin" came to DunRoamin' on August 10, 2013.  She had been born about  June 15, 2013.  A man from Woodstock came to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and then fled, leaving her and her eight siblings in a box for DunRoamin' to care for.  They had been left in a box on his deck while he was not home.

Regin had an upper respiratory infection and was on medication, but she quickly recovered.  She is a beautiful little kitten with black fur that has white guard hairs which gives her a very unique look.

On October 20, 2013, Regin was chosen by a lady in Florenceville to be the newest member of her family.  Congratulations, Regin!!

"Garreth" came to DunRoamin' on August 10, 2013.  He had been born about  June 15, 2013.  A man from Woodstock came to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and left him and his eight siblings in a box for DunRoamin' to care for and fled.  They had been left in a box on his deck while he was away from home.

Garreth is a sweetheart with beautiful big eyes.  He loves everyone he meets! 

On October 20, 2013, he met a lady and her son and they now have a new addition to their family.  He's now known as Loki.  He'll live in Florenceville now!  Congratulations!

"Dan" was found outside the door of DunRoamin' on the morning of September 26, 2013 with his sister Ashley (see below).  They were both taped into a PharmaSave cardboard box with some air holes and a bit of food which they'd upset.  They were both extremely terrified and traumatized.

Dan was born about July 7, 2013 and had very bad earmites that required treatment but was otherwise healthy.  He was timid at first but has over come that well. .

On October 20, 2013 Dan met a couple from Coldstream who fell in love with him.  They also adopted his sister Ashley so that they would never have to be separated.  We're grateful they can be together in a safe and loving environment for the rest of their lives.

"Ashley" appeared on the doorstep of DunRoamin' on the morning of September 26, 2013 where she was found by the first person in.  She and her brother Dan (see above) were taped into a cardboard box from the PharmaSave with some air holes and a bit of food which they had upset.  They were both extremely terrified.

Ashley was born about July 7, 2013.  She had really bad earmites that were easily cured and was otherwise healthy.  She was obviously unwanted, but why?  She's a beautiful little girl who was scared to death, confused and traumatized by her experience.  It's taken her a little longer to feel secure . . .

On October 20, 2013 she and her brother Dan were both adopted by a couple from Coldstream.  We're glad they'll have a loving family and will be safe, warm and loved for the rest of their lives.  Congratulations to all.

"Bowen" came to DunRoamin' on August 10, 2013.  He had been born about  June 15, 2013.  A man brought him to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and then fled, leaving him and his eight siblings in a box for DunRoamin' to care for.

Bowen had a bad upper respiratory infection.  He needed medication and lots of care, so he was fostered by a vet tech until he became well.

On October 20, 2013 Bowen was adopted by a family in Riverbank.  He enjoys playing with the children and sleeping on the bed at night.  Congratulations, Bowen!

"Nyx" came to DunRoamin' on August 10, 2013.  She had been born about June 15, 2013.  A man from Woodstock came to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and left her and her eight siblings in a box and then fled, leaving DunRoamin' to care for them.

Nyx had an upper respiratory infection which was treated and she became healthy very quickly.  All she needed was a little bit of medication and a lot of love.  She's shown herself to be a beautiful and playful little girl who loves her siblings.

On October 16, 2013 Nyx was adopted by a young couple from Woodstock.  She was extremely excited to learn that her sister Sabine (see below) would also be going with her, since she's never been an only cat before.  She'll have the love of her new humans as well as her sister to keep her company when her humans are away.  Thanks very much, Brittany and Chris.  Please stay in touch.

"Sabine" came to DunRoamin' on August 10, 2013.  She had been born about  June 15, 2013.  A man from Woodstock came to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and left her and her eight siblings in a box and fled, leaving DunRoamin' to care for them.

Sabine is a beautiful little black and white girl who loves to play and chase toys.  She's very loving and affectionate and is the first to climb on your lap.  She's extremely outgoing and playful.

On October 16, 2013 Sabine was adopted by a lady of her choosing.  Sabine made it very clear to this young lady that she was going home with her!  And Sabine is happy to have her sister Nyx (see above) with her as well.  A great day for both!  Write soon, Sabine, and send lots of photos!!

"Natalya" came to DunRoamin' on August 10, 2013.  She had been born about June 15, 2013.  A man from Woodstock brought them to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and fled, leaving her and her eight siblings in a box for DunRoamin' to care for.  They had been left in a box on his deck while he was away from home.

Natalya is a beautiful pewter gray and has a great personality.  She was initially scared, but has overcome that, thanks to her friends and siblings.  Natalya is friendly, playful, calm, quiet and cuddly.

On October 9, 2013 Natalya was adopted by a young lady from Stickney.  She'll sleep on her bed, lounge on her lap and be her very best friend.  Congratulations to you both!  Please stay in touch.

"Hartley" came to DunRoamin' on May 21, 2013 from the Hartley Settlement area where he had been found by a little girl in the yard where her father was mowing.  There was no shelter and no mother.  There had been no cats seen in the area at all and this little one was all alone.  He was born about April 20, 2013.

Hartley was thin, cold, hungry and dehydrated.  He was treated and moved to a foster home in Riverbank where he was treated like a prince.  He then moved to a foster home in Bath.  He loves people and other cats, loves food and loves to cuddle.  He particularly loves dogs and loves to play with them!  He climbs on them, chases their tail and bats them on the nose!  They're his favourite toy! 

On October 9, 2013 Hartley met a couple from the Plaster Rock area and their dog Tess.  A bond was formed immediately and he was quickly purring up a storm.  Congratulations, Hartley!  Send photos soon!

"Ciska" was found in Woodstock on November 1, 2012. She was born about the first of August, 2012. She had obviously had some trouble, as she had sustained damage to the nerves in her spinal column which had caused paralysis in her left front leg, her right front leg was badly broken and her lower lip had been torn from her jaw.

Despite all this, she purred happily. She ate despite her facial injury - that's how hungry she was. On November 3, 2012, she underwent surgery to have her left front leg amputated and a pin put in her right front leg. Her lip was re-attached also.  She's particularly playful and will stand on her haunches and play with string with her one front paw.  She purrs constantly!  In March, 2013 she went to a foster home where she was loved so much . . .

. . . that on October 5, 2013 she was adopted by her foster family in Centreville where she'll live happily every after.  Congratulations, Ciska!

"Pink" came to DunRoamin' on September 27, 2012 when she was observed hanging around a home in Bedell for about two days. It quickly became apparent that she needed help, so a kind lady brought her to us.

Pink had a bad abscess on her left hind leg which was treated.  She'll be fine now, with a little food and a safe warm bed to go along with her medication. She was only about one year old and is quiet, gentle and unassuming. She spent the Christmas holidays with a foster family in Connell. Thanks for giving her a first real Christmas, Steph and Chris!

On October 5, 2013, Pink met a lady and her young son who chose her to be the newest family member.  She'll have the family she's been waiting for for more than a year!  Congratulations, Pink!  Send lots of family photos!

"Doreen" came to DunRoamin' on August 26, 2013 after she had been found in the Woodstock area.  She had a huge number of fleas which had caused her to be dehydrated and very ill.  She also had bad earmites.  She was born about June 15, 2013, so she's just a baby.  She was given fluids and lots of medical care.  She's not out of the woods yet, and had a very bad day on August 27, but as of September 10, 2013 she's doing well. She's a sweet little girl and she's beautiful.

Doreen has come ahead each and every day.  She's eating well, playing and loves people and other cats.

On September 30, 2013 she was adopted by a lady in Centreville.  She'll be the newest family member and she'll be the life of the party.  Don't forget to write, Doreen.  We'll miss you!

"Ditch" came back to DunRoamin' on September 20, 2013.  She originally came to us on August 31, 2006 when she was found in a Ditch in Rosedale all alone with an injured leg.  She was adopted out on November 25, 2006 along with her friend Olivia (see below).  They had a great home with loving parents, but unfortunately health problems made it impossible for their family to care for them any longer.

Ditch is shy but once she settles in is very loving and demanding of attention.  She loves to climb on her tall cat tree and survey her kingdom from above.  She loves to have her belly rubbed and her chin scratched and although she doesn't like to be held if you're standing, she loves to sit on your lap.  She loves her scratching posts and uses them readily.  She has lived with a dog, so is familiar with them.

On September 25, 2013, Ditch was adopted by a gentleman from Williamstown.  She is fortunate that her friend Olivia gets to go, too, so they get to stay together when they join this new family.  Congratulations!

"Olivia" came to DunRoamin' on September 20, 2013.  She originally came to us on August 17, 2006 and was adopted with her friend Ditch (see above) to a home in Woodstock on November 25, 2006.  They had a great home with loving parents, but unfortunately health problems made it impossible for their family to be care for them and they came back on September 20, 2013. 

Olivia is a people cat who wants to be with people as much as possible.  She waits at the door for you when you come home from work and greets visitors, trusting all who come into her home.  She "talks" and loves to play, especially lazer tag.  She's very inquisitive and notices everything new or out of the ordinary.  She gets along well with dogs and although she doesn't like to be held she loves to curl up very close to a human.  She's used to kids and loves tuna juice, but not the tuna!

On September 25, 2013, Olivia was officially adopted by a gentleman from Williamstown.  She'll also be accompanied by her life-long friend Ditch (see above), so they get to stay together when they join their new family!!

"Write-On" came to us on May 28, 2013 from the Bristol area where he had been struck by a car.  He was about two years old and his injuries included a broken lower jaw and injured front leg.  His original name was "Write-Off" - appropriate, because he was not in good shape.  However, thanks to great veterinary skill and concern, his name is now "Write-On!" - VERY appropriate! 

Write-On, despite his injuries, still purred and accepted food gratefully.  He was also grateful for pain medication.  On Wednesday, May 29, 2013, Write-On had surgery on his jaw.  A wire was inserted to stabilize it and he quickly healed after a few days of recovery and lots of soft canned food.  He's a friendly and affectionate little boy who would love to have a safe home where he doesn't have to worry about being injured again.

On September 14, 2013 he got his wish.  He was adopted into a home in Florenceville and his little look-alike friend Wimbledon (see below) was also adopted on the same day.  We're very grateful to his new family.  Congratulations!

"Wimbledon" and his two siblings came from Wicklow on July 8, 2013.  A young man driving on the Old Trans Canada Highway noticed a dead mother cat on the side of the road.  One kitten was thrashing about and three others were on the roadside.  By the time he got his car stopped and moved the three kittens to safety, the fourth baby had passed away.  They were born about June 10, 2013 and were just beginning to eat on their own.  They obviously missed their mother and were scared.  Wimbledon is the most outgoing and affectionate of the three kittens.

On September 14, 2013 Wimbledon was chosen to join a family in Florenceville.  He'll also have a new older brother, Write-On (see above) who was adopted at the same time.  Congratulations!!

At 11:06 pm, Friday, June 14, 2013, "Clinger" arrived at DunRoamin'.  He was deposited outside a door at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic by a young man who was a back-seat passenger in an SUV.  The temperature was cold, the wind was blowing very strongly and it was pouring rain.  Clinger spent more than 12 hours alone and shivering in his kennel before he was discovered. 

Clinger is named because that's what he is - a clinger, because he just wants to be loved.  When he's picked up he hangs on and absorbs the love and body heat!  He's about three years old and had not yet been neutered.  He was treated for fleas and worms.  He was timid, but that's to be expected after spending that time in the cold.  But he'll be fine now.

On September 10, 2013 Clinger was adopted by a couple from Lakeville.  Congratulations, Big Guy.  Have a great life!

"Gamble" came back to DunRoamin' on August 14, 2013.  He had been adopted to a home in Upper Kent, but when he experienced a bladder infection his family decided he should come back to us.  He was born about the middle of August, 2012.

Gamble was given medication for a week which cleared up his bladder infection completely and he's been fine ever since.  Gamble's a huge cuddler and he loves other cats and people as well.

On September 8, 2013 he was adopted by a lady from Avondale.  He'll be a friend for two other ex-DunRoamin' strays, Ansel and Heather.  Congratulations, Gamble, you got a real family!! 

"Kourtney" and his siblings Kris, Khloe and Kim, the Catashian Kittens, came to us on Saturday, July 7, 2012 from Woodstock where they were living with their mother under a store on Main Street.  Fortunately, an employee was keeping an eye on them and realized that one had a problem with their leg.  Their mother was feral and the kittens were about four and a half weeks old.  Sadly, due to the poor start they had, all of Kourtney's siblings passed away.  You can read about them on our Pet Memorials page. 

Kourtney is a very social little kitty who loves people and loves attention.  He's definitely one of the most loving and attentive kitties we've met.

On September 8, 2013 Kourtney met a nice lady from Wapske who fell in love with him.  She made him an official family member, along with his friend Prowl (see below).  Thanks very much, Karen!  Please write soon!

"Prowl" came back to DunRoamin' on June 21, 2013 from the Centreville area.  He was born about the middle of May, 2012 and had been dropped at the Carleton Co-Op in Florenceville to fend for himself.  He had come to us on July 19 when he was only about eight weeks old.  He had earmites, was very thin, hungry and thirsty.  Luckily the Co-Op staff was there to help him.  He was adopted to a family in Centreville in October, 2012, but unfortunately they had to move to Alberta and could not find a place to live that would allow pets.  They miss him dearly.

Prowl is doing okay with us, but he misses the constant companionship of having his own family at his beck and call and a human to sleep with at night.  He's a sweet and loving little boy who would like nothing more than his own home again.

On September 8, 2013 he got his wish.  He and his friend Kourtney (see above) were both adopted by a very nice lady in Wapske where they'll be the newest additions to the feline family.  Congratulations, everyone! Send us family photos, Prowl!

"Constance" came to us on August 31, 2013 after having been found on the road in Bedell.  It appears she may have been struck by a vehicle.  She's just a baby, having been born about the middle of March, 2013. 

Constance has several pelvic fractures and had earmites and a nasal discharge which indicated infection.  She's a beautiful little girl who now will be warm, free from pain, and well fed while she heals.  She's looking forward to having someone to care for her - a real family, like she deserves!

On September 4, 2013 she met a man who would very much like to make her part of his family.  She'll be a best friend for another ex-DunRoamin' stray and three children.  Congratulations, Constance.

"Arizona" came to DunRoamin' on the evening of August 26, 2013 when she was found near the river in Woodstock.  She was all alone, scared and hiding in the bushes.  Her rescuer was able to coax her to safety.  She was very skinny, hungry, had ear mites so bad that her ears were bleeding, had a sore behind her left ear, matts in her fur, burdocks, fleas and a chipped upper canine tooth.  Otherwise, she seems fine!!  She was born about November 1, 2012.

She's a beautiful little long-haired orange girl who is currently terrified of dogs and is not a real fan of other cats, but that may be just because she's scared of her new situation.  We're hoping she'll have a home very soon.

On September 4, 2013 Arizona was lovingly adopted by a young lady in Woodstock.  She can't wait to meet her new feline brother who is a larger version of her.  Congratulations to you and your new family!  Please send lots of pictures.

 

This is "Dancer." On June 28, 2011, three cats and 12 kittens were rescued from a barn near Hartland.  They were enclosed in a shed and were hungry and thirsty.  Most had ear mites, fleas and worms, and they appeared  to be from three families. Dancer was the mother of four little girls - Dazzler, Domino, Dizzy and Dylan.  All were slightly timid and appeared to not have had much human contact.  The kittens rapidly became socialized, though, with the help of their foster family and feline foster brothers and sisters.  We'd like to thank Kelly and Kevin for taking them in and giving them a chance at becoming members of a real family.  Dancer came a very long way from the frightened, timid, hand-shy little girl that arrived only a few months ago. She loves to play like a kitten, and she's a real sweetheart.

On September 3, 2013 Dancer was adopted by her foster family with whom she'd been living since September 19, 2012.  They couldn't think of her as not being a permanent member, so now it's official!  Congratulations, Dancer!  Please stay in touch and send us new photos!

"Kringle" came from Woodstock on December 13, 2011 where he'd been running loose for about three weeks. Two weeks ago someone noticed that his eye was injured. We offered to treat the injury if the person could take him and keep him warm, safe and fed for about a month, when we hoped to have room for him, as we currently have no place for him to go. This person refused and brought him to DunRoamin' where they insisted that he either would be taken by us or he'd be taken back and let loose to survive on his own.

Kringle's right eye has been injured, perhaps in a fight.  He has external scarring on his eye and has lost vision in it as a result.  He would have a very difficult time surviving outside on his own.  As a result of his injury, Kringle had been rubbing his eye and his lower eyelid had rolled inward where it had damaged his eye to the extent that it had to be removed. Kringle also had fleas and ear mites. He was wearing a flea collar, so he's been somebody's family at some point. He was an intact male who was about two years old. He was fostered by a volunteer in Bath, where he lived happily with two dogs and several other cats whom he loved.

On September 2, 2013 he was adopted along with his friends Joplin and Oleg by a family in Plaster Rock.  He's got it made now, with his new parents and their two young daughters.  His biggest problem will be choosing whose bed to sleep on at night!  Congratulations, Kringle!  Your foster mother misses you - please write often!

This young beauty is "Joplin."  On May 26, 2011, while in the Debec area, Dr Monteith noticed a pregnant stray running loose.  She picked her up, realizing that she needed help.  Only a very few  hours later, Joplin gave birth to six little kittens.  She was grateful for the warm bed, food, and safe place for her and her family of two boys and four girls. She was born about May, 2010.

Hendrix, Nicks, Ronstadt, Stevie, Benatar and Morrison were born between 2 and 4 pm on May 25, 2011. They have all found loving homes.  Joplin is a friendly, affectionate and beautiful girl. She enjoys attention very much, but is not demanding of it.  She's just a quiet little girl who would love to lay on your lap while you work on your computer, watch TV or read a book. She just likes to have company around her, and she's very good company herself.

On September 1, 2013 she got her wish for a permanent home.  She and her friends Oleg and Kringle were adopted by a wonderful family from Plaster Rock where they'll be best friends with their two young daughters and two ex-DunRoamin' strays, Obi and Janice.  Congratulations!!

"Oleg" came to us on February 26, 2013 from Holmesville where he had been a stray.  His rescuer and veterinary staff were appalled to discover that he had been shot in his front leg.  The projectile had shattered the bones and his front right leg had to be amputated.  He gets around very well now that he's safe and pain-free with animal lovers.   He was born about the first of March, 2011.  He's not that big of a dog fan!

We may never understand why a human would do this kind of thing to a tiny helpless animal.  But we understand his gratitude to the people who rescued him, treated him, will care for him and finally the family who will take him home and love him.

On September 2, 2013, he met this family.  They're a wonderful couple from Plaster Rock with two children and two ex-DunRoamin' cats.  He's in the best home possible.  Congratulations!  And his friends Joplin and Kringle are with him too (see above).  Ya-hoo! 

   

"Boldly" came to us from Woodstock on August 24, 2013 when a person who had been looking after him refused to do so any longer.  They claimed he had an injured hind leg and several other difficulties.  He was thin, had worms and fleas and was dehydrated, but otherwise appeared fine.  He's about eight or nine weeks old.  Stories vary as to how long he was there.  Examination revealed that he could walk but had such a flea burden that he was weak.  He has boldly gone in spots that no kitten has gone before.  He's very cute, curious and happy.   All he's missing is a family.

On September 2, 2013, he got his family.  He'll now live in Hartland with a lady who loves him dearly.  He spent his first hour sleeping while purring on her chest.  He's gonna be just fine!  Write soon, Boldly!

"Scar" came to DunRoamin' on July 19, 2013.  He was rescued from the side of the road where he had probably been struck by a car.  His injuries included damage to his left eye, a skull fracture and a broken left hind leg.  He was hypothermic - so cold that his temperature wouldn't even register on a thermometer.  He was only about four months old, born about the middle of March, 2013. 

Despite his injuries, he purred happily when patted or talked to.  As of August 12, 2013 he could see out of his left eye and was doing very well, thanks to the love and care of a vet tech who took care of him with the love he deserved.  Thanks, Katie. 

On August 31, 2013 Scar was officially adopted by the person who initially rescued him from the road.  He had been unable to forget him and knew he had to be part of his life.  Scar, you're SO fortunate.  Have a great life.  Write soon and send lots of pictures!!

"Leggy" came to us from the Centreville area late in the evening of August 22, 2013.  He had severe respiratory distress, back pain and was dehydrated.  He didn't want to move and he didn't want to eat.  He was most likely struck by a vehicle.  He was just a baby, born about June 20, 2013. 

Leggy received the best vet care possible.  He underwent surgery to repair his torn diaphragm on Sunday, August 25, 2013.  As of the evening of August 26 was eating from a syringe and felt well enough to try to sit up occasionally.  And he purred like a well-oiled engine!  Leggy beat a multitude of odds by surviving.  We thank Dr Monteith, Dr Drost and Mandy for their skill and determination in making sure he had the best chance possible during his very complicated and difficult surgery.  It's all over now, and faith prevailed.  He's gonna be just fine!

On August 29, 2013 Leggy was adopted by a person with a unique attachment to him and he's right where he was meant to be all along.  He's pretty special and he knows it as well as we do!  "Somehow, even in the worst of times, the tiniest fragments of faith survive.  It was the grip in which one held those fragments that counted."  You did great, little one.  Good job! 

"Bo Peep" came to DunRoamin' on August 13, 2013 from Wicklow.  She had a torn lower lip and earmites.  She was born about June 25, 2013.  Her injuries are consistent with being thrown from a vehicle.  We've seen too many of this type of injury.

Bo Peep underwent surgery to repair her injuries.  She has long hair and she's beautiful!  She loves people and is very cute and cuddly.  She can't wait for a loving family of her own.  She's been waiting all her short life!  Now it's time to see what love and family feel like!

On August 27, 2013, Bo Peep was officially adopted by a family near Woodstock.  She'll be the new best friend of a seven-year old cat and three cat-loving dogs.  Oh! And of two humans, also!  Congratulations!

"Cruella" is a one-year old little girl who was found in Hartland on May 9, 2013.  She was emaciated, had fleas, earmites and ticks and was severely matted with burdocks.  On top of all that, her right hind leg had an open fracture to her femur leaving it in at least five pieces. The wound was contaminated with gravel also.  Cruella was born about the middle of May, 2012.

Due to the extent of her injury, Cruella's leg required amputation.  Her fur was shaved to remove the burdocks and she received the best care available.   She went to be fostered by a very nice couple in Bristol, and . . .

. . . on August 23, 2013 she officially became a permanent family member.  She is very best friends with with one of her new siblings and she's ecstatic that she gets to stay there forever!!  She's put on weight, sleeps on her mother's chest and runs the household!  Thanks to her new family!

"Herman" came to DunRoamin' on May 3, 2013 from Bloomfield, NB where he was found in an abandoned barn.  He had porcupine quills and was in a lot of pain from them.  At five weeks of age, he was way too young to care for himself and he needed help, so he came to us.  He was hungry, dehydrated and had subcutaneous emphysema.  He would most likely not have survived for long on his own.  Herman was born about April 1, 2013.

He lived in a foster home where he loved his foster family. He loved to play tag with human toes and he loved eating! He is cuddly and likes to talk when no one is paying attention to him. He comes when called and loves to chase cloth mice. Herman eventually moved to a foster home in Red Rapids where it took him no time to win over his foster father, so . . .

. . . on August 17, 2013 he was adopted by his loving foster family and he's now permanent!  This deal was sealed with a hug, Herman, so it's official!  Thanks to his family for caring for him so much.  He's got it made now! 

"Cersei" came to DunRoamin' from Gordonsville on January 12, 2012 where she had been slipping into an insulated outdoor cat box built buy some caring people to ensure cats had shelter when they were outdoors on these cold winter days.  Cersei's saviours were alerted by their dog Maddy that she was in the box and this time seemed willing to stay. She was immediately given food and warmth  and was examined by a vet the very next morning where it was learned she was about two or three years old, had fleas, was cold, very thin and was dehydrated to the point that she required intravenous fluids.  She was only 4.7 pounds, and had a thick fur coat, so she had been outdoors for awhile, but obviously could not find enough food to sustain herself.  As her rescuer said, "Like a starfish on a beach that was picked up and thrown back to sea, help mattered to that one . . ." Cersei showed her gratitude by putting on weight and loving every human she met! She thanks her foster family in Riverbank.

On August 17, 2013 Cersei was adopted by a lady in Bedell who adopted Primrose a few days previously (see below) and took Cersei along as a foster cat.  It took her no time at all to realize Cersei was the perfect friend for both her and Prim, so now they're a family!  Thank you, Janet.  Please stay in touch!

"Primrose" came to DunRoamin' on March 30, 2013 from a home in Fredericton where she lived with a student who could no longer keep her.  She originally came to DunRoamin' on May 11, 2012 from Bristol where she had been a stray who was covered with burdocks, had a fever and injuries on her shoulders, perhaps by being attacked by a large bird.  Primrose is a beautiful long-haired little girl who initially takes some time to get to trust, but then she's all in.

On August 14, 2013 she was adopted by a lady in Bedell who says she rules the household!  Please send lots of photos and updates, Prim.  We miss you!

"Asparagus" was born on April 10, 2013.  He came to us on May 6, 2013 with his mom, Kale, who was injured when she was thrown against a wall.  Kale has recovered from her broken leg and has been adopted. 

Asparagus is the last of Kale's kittens to be adopted.  Cucumber, Pickles and Zuchini all have homes.  Asparagus is a beautiful little kitten who was fostered by a DunRoamin' board member in Perth-Andover while he awaited his turn for a family.  He's very cute, loving and playful.  He was a little lonely without his siblings so. . .

. . . on August 4, 2013 he was adopted by a couple in Quispamsis where he'll be a friend for their older cat, Jasper.  Congratulations!

"Nick" came to DunRoamin' on July 2, 2013 from Glassville where he had come to the home of a lady and showed her his distress. He was very skinny and was unable to eat properly because his teeth and mouth were badly infected, causing him great pain.  Nick was born about 2008, so no telling how long he'd been suffering.

Nick's bad teeth were removed and he was giving medication for pain and infection.  He showed gratitude and love to his caregivers and rapidly became much better.

On July 30, 2013 Nick was adopted by a lady in Glassville, and he'll be the best friend of her son.  He's a lucky little boy.  He thanks everyone who had a part in this new life he's enjoying!

"Olive Ingrid White" was born about March 2009 and came to DunRoamin' on December 8, 2010. She had arrived at a shelter with a fractured pelvis.  Due to her injury, her body was unable to remove excrement and along with the pain of her injury, she was severely constipated.  Her whole abdomen was full of rock-hard pieces of excrement that could not move.  She stood a good chance of being euthanized. 

Dr Monteith took one look at her and decided it was time for a miracle.  After all, isn't that what Christmas is all about?  Due to her vet's efforts, as of just hours after her arrival, Olive's constipation had already improved.  She was eating and receiving all the pain medication and medical care she required.  She's named after "the other reindeer" and did very well in her recuperation.  She needs to have a laxative twice a day to ensure she doesn't encounter the same problem, but otherwise she's PERFECT!  She loves to play, especially with dangling strings, and she loves dogs.

On Canada Day, 2013, Olive met a lady from Perth-Andover and decided she'd like to make her her human.  So that's what happened - Olive now has her own family and she is queen of the house already.  Congratulations, Olive.  It's been a long time coming, but it's definitely worth it!  Write often!

"Zuchini" was born on April 10, 2013.  She came to us on May 6, 2013 with her mom Kale who was injured when she was thrown against a wall.  She had one brother and two sisters who also came with her.  Zuchini is a beautiful little kitten who was fostered with her siblings while her mother's broken leg healed.  Then she went to a foster home in Perth-Andover.

On June 23, 2013, Zuchini met a lady and her son from Florenceville.  They had seen her on the website and had fallen in love.  Zuchini now lives happily ever after with them in the home she's dreamed of her entire short life!  Congratulations!

This is "Dylan." On June 28, 2011, three cats and 12 kittens were rescued from a barn near Hartland.  They were enclosed in a shed and were hungry and thirsty.  Most had ear mites, fleas and worms.  They appear  to be from three families.  Dancer was the mother of four little girls - Dylan, Domino, Dizzy and Dazzler who were born about May 25, 2011. (Domino has been adopted - Dizzy and Dazzler are still waiting). All were slightly timid, and appeared not to have had much human contact.  The kittens quickly became socialized, though, with the help of their foster family and feline foster brothers and sisters. We'd like to thank Kelly and Kevin, as well as their other foster families, for taking them in and giving them a chance at becoming members of a real family.  Dylan was fostered in Wakefield, but her first foster family really missed her, so . . .

. . . on June 23, 2013 she and her friend Tribute (see below) were adopted to a home in Pembroke where they've already become happy, relaxed and content family members.  Thanks to their family.  It's been a long wait, Dylan, but VERY well worth it!!


"Tribute" came to us on June 23, 2012 from MacKenzie Corner where he was a stray who had probably been dropped at the home of people known to care for cats. They noticed that he was limping quite badly and needed medical attention. He was about two years old, and had a bad abscess on his right hind leg.  He also weighed much less than he should.  He was a hungry and exhausted little boy.

Tribute's injury was treated and he received all necessary medical care. He was then neutered and vaccinated. He's a very nice little boy. He's a bit timid, but did well with the other cats that he lived with.  However, his true personality came out on . . .

. . . June 23, 2013, exactly one year from the date of his rescue.  He has shown himself to be very loving, affectionate, playful - all those things that come with the security of knowing that he finally has a permanent loving family.  He's seen here with his two ex-DunRoamin' friends Monkey and Dylan.  We're VERY grateful that he has his own people, his own siblings and his own world now.  Thanks, Kevin and Kelly!

"Cucumber" was born on April 10, 2013.  She came to us on May 6, 2013 with her mom (see above) who was injured when she was thrown against a wall.  Cucumber is a beautiful little kitten who wanted nothing but a family of her own.

On June 20, 2013, Cucumber was adopted by a family in Florenceville.  Her sister, Pickles, was fortunate enough to go with her (see below), so she'll always have feline family as well.  Thanks to the couple and their young daughter who have increased their family numbers by two!  Please send photos and updates often.

"Pickles" was born on April 10, 2013.  She came to us on May 6, 2013 with her mom, Kale, (see below) who was injured when she was thrown against a wall.  Pickles is a beautiful little kitten who was anxious for a permanent home.  She and her siblings were fostered in Florenceville and then came back to DunRoamin'.

On June 20, 2013, Pickles and her sister Cucumber (see above) were adopted by a family in Florenceville.  They'll sleep on the bed of their 13-year old best friend and be her best forever-friends.  Congratulations!

"Kale" came to us with her four kittens on May 6, 2013.  It is alleged that she was thrown against a wall two days previously resulting in the breaking of her left hind femur.  She needed help.  Her kittens were fostered while she recuperated as they were crawling on her leg and making it difficult for it to heal.  Kale was born about the middle of April, 2012.  She required surgery and kennel rest to ensure her leg healed properly.

On June 17, 2013, Kale was adopted by her rescuer who had been unable to get her out of her mind.  She's a beautiful little girl who only deserves the best after what she's been through, and now she's got it.  She'll live in Woodstock with her new family.  Congratulations, Kale!

"Steve" and his brother Earle (see below) came to DunRoamin' on January 24, 2013 from the New Denmark area. Steve was born about the first of October 2012 and had never been neutered. He was very thin, had thin fur and a bad upper respiratory infection.

Steve has been treated for his problems and quickly recovered. He had large problems to overcome, but once he was safe, warm, fed and had medical care, he did well. He was happy to learn he'd be fostered by a very kind couple in Perth-Andover.

On June 16, 2013, Steve and his brother Earle were adopted by a nice lady from New Denmark.  The boys have a whole new life, and they get to stay together!  Woo-hoo!!!  Congratulations, guys!

"Earle" and his brother Steve (see above) came to DunRoamin' on January 24, 2013 from the New Denmark area. They were born about the first of October, 2012 and had never been neutered.   He had a bad case of upper respiratory infection, ear mites and also had an infection in his right ear.

Both Earle and Steve were sweet little kittens who were happy to be safe and warm. With medical care, warmth and good food they were soon fine.  They were fostered by a very generous and loving couple in Perth-Andover where they learned to be the perfect companions.

On June 16, 2013, Earl and his brother Steve were adopted by a lady from New Denmark.  Now they're permanent family members!  Congratulations, boys!

"Jebus" was returned to DunRoamin' on August 11, 2012 from the home in which he'd lived for two years. He was said to be a little too rough and had peed on the bed, but in the time he's been back with us he's been just fine, thanks to a little medication to cure his bladder infection.

Jebus originally came to us in March 2010 and was adopted on August 7, 2010. He had entered into a feral colony in Lakeville, but was not at all feral, so he came to us to find a home.

Jebus is marked like a tabby from the floor to the top of his legs, but then he is "mottled" with brown, black and grey. He's a truly handsome boy who is anxious to go back to similar living arrangements to those he's had the pleasure of experiencing.  He has personality PLUS!

On June 15, 2013, Jebus met a gentleman from Northampton who decided that he'd be the perfect cat for his family since they're missing their cat who passed away of old age.  Congratulations, Jebe!  Send us lots of photos of you and your new family, okay??  We'll all really miss you.

"Gaga" came to DunRoamin' on August 31, 2012, when vet staff arrived at work to find her sitting all alone in a cat carrier in the parking lot. We have no idea how long she'd been there, but it was certainly a cool night and she had very little space in which to move around to keep warm.

She is a long-haired tabby and white cat who is about three years old. She had been declawed and spayed already. She was quite upset, and who wouldn't be when abandoned in such a manner? She was healthy but scared and a little aggressive, most probably trying to compensate for her fear and lack of claws to defend herself from perceived danger. She'd been declawed at some point in her life.  She initially had a hard time adjusting, but slowly realized that she was safe and loved.

On June 10, 2013 Gaga became a member of a family in Perth-Andover that has one other cat, Jynx.  She's taken over the bed and claimed the house, Jynx and her new mother as her very own.  Congratulations, Gaga, you finally made it!

"Uzi" and his brothers Upton and Urban were left at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic on November 2, 2012.  They were found near a school in Woodstock and were brought to DunRoamin' to be assessed by vet staff at the Clinic under the guise of being sick. They had only a few fleas which were treated and paid for by DunRoamin'. They were healthy, happy, playful and very social. The people who picked them up refused to return for them and had "far too much going on to be concerned . . ." about them, their status or welfare.

Uzi was shy at first, but had the loudest purr of all.  He loves to play and is now VERY outgoing!  He's the first one on your lap!

On June 8, 2013, Uzi met a young lady from Perth-Andover and that's pretty much the end of the story!  He's in love, she's in love and the future is bright for both!  Congratulations!!

"Stacey" came to us on January 8, 2013 from Perth-Andover where he had been a stray for quite some time. People had been trying to catch him as they saw he needed help, but he had eluded their efforts for weeks by hiding under a house. He was eventually live-trapped and brought for help.

Stacey was born about 2005 and apparently has not had the best of times. He was very thin, had earmites, fleas, severe stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth) and was filthy dirty. The stomatitis would have made it very uncomfortable for him, especially when he tried to eat.  He also had to be shaved due to the matts he had in his fur.  The matts prevented him from being as warm as he could be in the cold weather. 

He'd like to thank the lady who generously offered to help pay his medical bill from all the way down in Florida and his new friends who went out of their way to bring him to safety.

On May 12, 2013, Stacey was accepted into a home in Riverbank. His new family has a reputation for caring and taming timid cats, so he's gonna be just fine.  He thanks his new family and so does DunRoamin'!

"Double U," and her mother and sister, Emm and Bee, were rescued from an abandoned home in Newburg in mid-August by a student who was moving away to school.  They came to us on August 27, 2012. She already had three cats of her own she was taking with her and couldn't take three more, but also couldn't leave them on their own. She gave them food, shelter and love enough to show them that people were willing to help. They had fleas, earmites and were happy to have food and a safe place to rest.  They were fostered by one of our DunRoamin' Kids in Woodstock.

On May 11, 2013, Double U was adopted by a very nice lady from Upper Woodstock who also adopted Double U's sister Bee in January 2013 (see below).  We're glad the two sisters will be reunited.  Congratulations to all!

"Kellar" came to us on May 7, 2013 from Oakland.  He had been found behind a garbage can by a lady who immediately brought him for help.  Keller is about one year old, had fleas and earmites and a condition known as Micropthalmia, meaning that his eyes were not completely formed properly and he was blind as a result.  He may have been born this way or it may be the result of an untreated eye infection.  He had obviously been having a hard time out on his own.  Not being able to see, he could not hunt or find his way in the world.  He was very fortunate to be found and taken in by the family that rescued him.  He also had earmites, fleas and burdocks.

Kellar underwent surgery on May 8, 2013 to remove the remnants from his eye sockets to make him more comfortable.  He's a sweetheart who has been eating up a storm.  He is already more comfortable and happy to be safe and warm with lots of human attention.

On May 9, 2013 Kellar was adopted by the most wonderful couple from Plaster Rock.  They have experience with cats with disabilities and know exactly how to make them part of their loving family.  We can't thank them enough for giving this little boy the life he deserves.

"Sly" came to us on April 23, 2013.  He's at least 12 years old and is a neutered male who showed up in Belleville needing help.  He had ear mites and fleas.  Both ears were infected and he was very matted and filthy.  He was lame on his right hind leg and he had severe dental disease and sinusitis also.

Sly was given antibiotics, pain medications, ear medications, was treated for parasites and his loose and infected teeth were removed.  He felt much better very quickly.  He was a very lucky boy.

On April 25, 2013, Sly was adopted by his rescuer.  He'll now live with her and her other pets where he'll enjoy his last years while he lives the life of Riley.  We're all so glad that, at last, you have the life every cat deserves.  Best wishes, Sly.

"Maple" came to DunRoamin' from Maplehurst on April 12, 2013.  She was only about a year old and was pregnant and in the process of aborting her kittens.  This may be due to a physical problem, poor nutrition, having been involved in an accident - who knows?

She had arrived on the deck of a lady in Maplehurst the previous evening.  She had made her a safe warm bed and given her plenty of food and water. The next morning she noticed blood so brought her immediately for help.  Maple is very loving and affectionate.  She kneads constantly, purrs and talks - happy to be safe, warm and cared for.

On April 19, 2013 Maple was adopted by a couple from Jacksonville where she'll live with them, their two dogs and five other cats, several of whom are ex-DunRoamin'.  Congratulations!

"Parise" was a sweet little boy who had been a stray who was dropped off in Juniper about three years ago.  He came to DunRoamin' on April 8, 2013.  He had been fed by caring neighbours but his only shelter was a box and blanket in an unheated porch.  Since he was getting older, being an outdoor cat wasn't the best for him.  And it's cold out there this time of year!!

He was recently attacked by a wild animal and was brought for examination.  His injuries included numerous cuts and scratches on his entire body, but he's going to be just fine. 

On April 9, 2013 Parise was adopted by a young lady from Wicklow who has promised him that he'll always be an indoor cat, he'll always be warm and he'll always have an abundance of food and love.  Congratulations, Parise.  You finally made it!

"Ashes" and her five siblings were found on January 21, 2013 in a box beside a garbage dumpster at an apartment building in Woodstock. Their box was tucked behind some mattresses. They were taken in by two kind people who have saved, fostered and adopted numerous strays who would not have made it without them. Ashes and her family were born about December 10, 2012.

Ashes and her brothers and sisters love dogs and other cats. They initially had some upper respiratory twinges, but became well quickly with lots of love and care.

On March 28, 2013 Ashes and her siblings were adopted by their rescuers. They're part of a real family now, and they finally have the life they desire and deserve.  Congratulations, everyone!

"Roger" came to us on March 1, 2013 from Woodstock where he had been a stray tom.  He was covered with wounds on his head and body, most probably from fighting for food and for his very survival.  He tested negative for FIV and FeLV.  What a lucky boy!  He was born about the first of March, 2007.

His injuries included a torn and partially-missing left ear, his tail is twisted and partially missing and we've already mentioned the too-numerous-to-count wounds and scars covering almost his entire body.  Roger has one blue eye and one green eye.  On top of (or despite) all this, he's the biggest softie you ever want to meet.  He's a cuddler and he has a squeaky high-pitched meow that endears him even more! 

On March 25, 2013, Roger was adopted by a gentleman in Woodstock. Congratulations, Roger.  Write often so we know how you're doing!

"Dumpty" and her brother Humpty came to us on October 23, 2012 from Hartland where they were found in a box. No one could take them in. They were born about August 25, 2012.  "Nimble" came to us a day later from the same place as Dumpty. He is most probably a half brother to Dumpty, the product of an older litter from an unspayed female. He was born about June 25, 2012.

They both had fleas but were otherwise healthy, although they were very cold, tired and hungry. It took them no time at all to snuggle up and fall asleep, knowing they were safe and warm.  Dumpty and Nimble are the very best of friends.  They sleep together and love to play with each other. 

On March 13, 2013 they were officially adopted by a kind gentleman in Perth-Andover where they'll spend the rest of their lives.  We're so happy they got their wish - to live together in a loving home.

"Henry" came to us from Perth-Andover on September 29, 2012. He had originally been diagnosed with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) which results in a blockage which made him unable to pee and therefore very ill. He had been treated for it on one previous occasion but it had come back and his owners were unable to undergo treatment a second time.

Henry was about three years old, and was already neutered. If he didn't get this chance through DunRoamin', he would most probably have been euthanized, so he's very grateful for this opportunity. With a proper diet of appropriate food, he was fine. He was actually BETTER than fine - he was PERFECT! By the way, Henry LOVES dogs!

On March 6, 2013 Henry met a lady from Williamstown.  She has a small dog (Henry LOVES dogs), so they'll be the perfect family.  Thanks for adopting this sweetheart!  Please keep in touch.  Write soon, Henry!

"Vanilla" came to us on January 9, 2013 from Perth-Andover, NB. A couple travelling from Quebec to Moncton stayed in a motel overnight and when they opened their door the next morning, there she was! She was cold, hungry and had a hard time breathing.

Vanilla was diagnosed as having upper respiratory infection, fleas, earmites, was thin and very small for her age. She was born about August 1, 2012. She got lots of food and the medical attention she needed and became healthy quickly.

On March 6, 2013 she was adopted by a lady in Jacksonville where she'll be a new friend for Tim and his other canine and feline siblings. 

"Humpty" and his sister Dumpty came to us on October 23, 2012 from Hartland where they were found in a box. No one could take them in. They were born about August 25, 2012.

They had fleas but were otherwise healthy, although they were very tired and hungry. It took them no time at all to snuggle up and fall asleep, knowing they were safe and warm. Humpty has a tinge of orange on his head, and Dumpty has a bit of grey. Humpty was diagnosed with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) so, although he's perfectly healthy, he must live as an only cat or with a cat who already has FIV, since it is transmissible between cats.

On February 21, 2013 Humpty was adopted by his foster mother who loves him dearly. He will now live in Arthurette with the family he loves. Thanks, Angie!

"Frost" and his siblings Frisky, Creak, YumYum and NumNum came to DunRoamin' on November 1, 2012 after having been found wrapped in a towel at an empty home in Johnville. The lady who owned the home had been in a manor for some time and had passed away the previous week. People checking the house happened to find these little ones, and they're very lucky to have been found when they were. It was a really cold night and the towel wouldn't have helped much. They were starving and had fleas. They were born about October 5, 2012.

They're very cute little ones who were fostered by a family who helped them learn to trust. They learned to love and trust so much, as a matter of fact, that . . .

On February 20, 2013, they were welcomed as permanent family members. Now that's the way it's supposed to be!! Congratulations!

                       Tipsy                                Talla

"Tipsy" and her sister "Talla" came to us on Valentine's Day, 2013 from the Debec area. They had been seen around a home for a couple of weeks, but when the weather got cold a nice couple gave them shelter and food. They soon witnessed Tippy having a seizure and were concerned for her. In addition, both little girls had very bad diarrhea that they couldn't cure. They were dehydrated, very thin and had earmites as well as coccidia. They were born about November 15, 2012.

Both are very social, quiet and loving. They've obviously been with a family before because they're very familiar with being inside, and they certainly love attention.

On February 20, 2013 Tipsy and Talla were adopted by a very compassionate and caring couple in Debec where they'll now be safe, warm, fed and loved. That's what it's all about!! Thanks to their new family for helping them!

This is "Dazzler." On June 28, 2011, three cats and 12 kittens were rescued from a barn near Hartland.  They were enclosed in a shed and were hungry and thirsty.  Most had ear mites, fleas and worms.  They appeared  to be from three families. Dancer was the mother of four little girls - Dizzy, Dazzler, Domino and Dylan who were born about May 25, 2011. All were slightly timid, and appeared to not have had much human contact. The kittens quickly became socialized, though, with the help of their foster family and feline foster brothers and sisters. We'd like to thank Kelly and Kevin, as well as their other foster families, for taking them in and giving them a chance at becoming members of a real family.

Dazzler is a quiet and affectionate little girl who gets along well with all the cats she currently lives with. She's a beautiful shiny white with grey on her head.

On February 6, 2013 Dazzler met a family from Lakeville, and she'll be their only pet. Tonight she'll sleep on the bed of her newest best friend, a nice young man who is eager to get to know her. Congratulations! Please send updates!

"Foster" came to us on November 27, 2012. She, her sister Groves and their friend Rosalee all needed help, and now they have it. They came from Coldstream where they were strays who were trying to survive on their own, but weren't doing such a great job. Foster had really bad earmites and was very hungry She was born about the first of June, 2012. Her sister, Groves, was in much worse shape.

Foster is a beautiful little long-haired female. She was very scared at first, but now will enjoy a belly rub. She's doing very well, and has become quite familiar with all the goings-on in her new home.

On February 3, 2013 she met a couple from St Stephen who fell in love. She'll be their only pet and will be spoiled beyond her wildest dreams. Congratulations on your new home, Foster. We look forward to hearing from you often.

"Halli" came to us on July 24, 2010, when a truck dropped a large number of cats on the Plymouth Road near Woodstock.  Fortunately, some compassionate people realized what was happening and caught as many as they could.  All kittens were skinny, hungry, had bad eye infections, terrible fleas and ear mites so bad that their ear canals were fully closed off with flea dirt and they could not hear.  Several lost an eye because the infections had progressed so far.  One is totally blind.  Some weighed as little as 1.4 pounds and ranged in age up to about six months.

Over the next couple of days volunteers rallied friends together and searched the area. Eventually 13 cats and kittens were found. They're beautiful little boys and girls, and we could all learn a lesson about how to handle adversity by watching them for only a few minutes.  Each one is full of love and happiness, grateful for their life, friends and family.  Halli has sight in only one eye and she's a beautiful, friendly, loving little girl.
She also loves dogs.

On February 2, 2013 Halli met a lady and her son from Saint John who had seen her on this website. They fell in love, and Halli has met the man of her dreams. She'll spend her time now with him. Her dream has finally come true. "When you wish upon a star . . ." Congratulations, Halli! Please send lots of pictures and tell us how much you love your new home!

"Greer" came to us on September 14, 2012 from Hartland, NB where a kind and generous couple had been feeding several strays who had been dropped off in their area. The lady had recently passed away and the man was moving, so these young ones would no longer have anyone to watch out for them.

Greer was born about the middle of August 2012 and is a real sweetheart. He was fortunate to have a foster home with his three brothers, Gardner, Gaines and Gamble while he waited for a permanent home. Thanks to his foster family in Bristol and his other family in Wicklow. They've given him a whole new outlook!

On January 31, 2013, Greer was adopted by a family from Glassville. He was fortunate to have his brothers Gaines and Gardner adopted with him, so their family stays together! Thanks so very much to their new family!

"LaToya" came to us on June 7, 2012 from Holmesville. She was about a year old and was very thin. She had no one to take care of her and was barely surviving. She's a real sweetheart who was grateful for this new life she was given.

LaToya is very affectionate and got along well with all the other cats in DunRoamin'. She loves attention and is the first to present herself when someone walks in the room. She's a sleek little tabby with lots of love in her, and if you walk away from her after patting her, she'll reach to touch you with her paw to pull you back!

On January 31, 2013 we received news that LaToya's family with whom she'd been living decided that she was so wonderful that she'd have to stay as a permanent member. She's a new friend for their two other DunRoamin' cats, Nestor and Oscar. Congratulations, LaToya! Stay in touch and send lots of photos!

"Avis" and her brothers Abel and Abner came to us on November 2, 2012 from Lakeville where they were strays who had no one to care for them. They were cold and had no prospects for a safe and warm winter.

Avis is very friendly and cuddly. She was born about August 1, 2011 and is a beautiful cat. She wants all the attention she can have and will stand on her hind legs to get it! She loves people and other cats. She's very social and outgoing.

On January 29, 2013 she met a couple who fell in love with her. She now lives in Gordonsville with her new family, with whom she is very obviously in love. Congratulations, Avis. Write often!

"Draco," his four siblings and mother came to DunRoamin' on October 7, 2011 from Gordonsville, NB. They had been born on an outside deck on October 6 during the first snowfall of the year. The owner wanted them gone. One had already died because of the cold conditions in which they were born. The others had no better chance of survival.

All six cats were fostered by a strong DunRoamin' supporter in Bristol who informed us that Draco was full of fun and loved to prance around and be silly. He also loved to eat! He has faint tiger stripes on his head which adds to his already overabundance of cuteness. He's friendly and is the most vocal of all his siblings. He was the first to open his eyes, and will be the last of his siblings to find a home. He's very loving, affectionate, outgoing and vocal.

On January 27, 2012 Draco, renamed "Bane," was adopted as the newest best friend of a young man and his cat, Batman, in Fredericton. They've already met and are fast friends. Congratulations!

"Glenda" came to us on November 23, 2012 from Hartland where she had been a stray living near a home. People had been trying to care for her and several others in the area, but had had to move away, so she had no one to look after or feed her.

Glenda is a very sweet little girl. She was born around the first of April, 2012, so is just a kitten. She's very affectionate and loves to crawl on your shoulder where she'll purr herself to sleep. She is extremely happy if she can be picked up, cuddled and patted - her motor never stops!

On January 24, 2013, Glenda was introduced to a young lady from Knoxford. Glenda settled right into her shoulder and started to purr - they were made for each other. She'll have three young kids to cuddle with every night. Congratulations, Glenda. Please send us new photos for our website.

"Carroll" came to us on December 14, 2012 from the Woodstock area where he had been a stray. He had a serious eye injury which required immediate attention. His left eye had to be removed as it had sustained a scratch which became very badly infected and rendered the eye sightless. He must have been in pain, also.

Carroll was quickly made safe and warm. He was only about four months old, and he's a truly affectionate little boy. He loves to be held and purrs constantly. When picked up, he kneads and purrs and will follow you around until you decide to pick him up. Then he's happy!

On January 18, 2013, Carroll met a lady from Bristol who very quickly decided he would be her newest family member. Carroll agreed! He quickly settled in with his new family and is now in kitty heaven! Congratulations to both.

"Dandilion" came to us on November 24, 2012 from the Woodstock area. She had a broken right hind leg which was giving her a lot of pain and she was unable to care for herself.

Dandilion's leg injury was so severe that it required amputation and she quickly healed. She was born about the first of April, 2012, so she's really just a kitten. We're glad she got the medical attention and care that she required. She's very loving and affectionate and does very well on three legs! She's a grey and white beauty and she's hoping for a home where she'll not even have to think about not having four legs. She's perfectly fine with three!

On January 17, 2013, Dandilion met a young lady and her mom from Jacksonville. It was the perfect match, and Dandilion made her way home with them. She'll be a friend for their two dogs and other cat. And she'll be waiting for her friend Figaro to come join her soon! Congratulations, Dandilion! We'll be waiting to hear from you!


"Gamble" came to us on September 14, 2012 from Hartland, NB where a kind and generous couple had been feeding several strays who had been dropped off in their area. The lady had recently passed away and the man was moving, so these young ones would no longer have anyone to watch out for them.

Gamble was born about the middle of August and is a real sweetheart. He was fortunate to have a foster home with his three brothers, Greer, Gardner and Gaines while he waited for a permanent home. Thanks to his foster family in Bristol.

On January 9, 2013, Gamble, now called "Gambler," became the newest member of a family in Upper Kent. He LOVES dogs, so he'll be a friend for their young Pug and their two young daughters. As you can see by the second photo, he immediately made himself a new friend. Congratulations, Gambler!

"Ephraim" came to us on October 15, 2012 from Jacksonville where he was observed as a stray. He was about three years old, was not neutered, had severe ear mites, all his canine teeth were broken and he had a large infected wound on his left front leg. These were all very painful things for this little boy to deal with all by himself. Ephraim's canine teeth required extraction, and his leg injury was treated. He is SO lucky to have been found by caring people. He was also lucky to be fostered by them!

On January 5, 2013, we were elated to hear that his foster family wanted to make him a permanent member. This family is well known for their love of cats, so it's a wonderful home for him. He'll now live in Jacksonville. Congratulations, Ephraim! Way to go!

 

"Linden" came to us on November 28, 2012 from Wicklow where he had been found under a vehicle all by himself. He was cold, starving, had fleas and very bad worms. He also had an abrasion beside his swollen left eye and another abrasion under his chin. The abrasion on his left eye proved to be the result of a pellet that was embedded in his head. It required surgical removal. What he must have experienced!

Linden was born about the first of August, 2012 and he's a purrer and a kneader. He LOVES people and other cats. He was fostered by the people who rescued him, and he had a great time! Thanks, Kamryn!

On January 5, 2013, he was adopted by a wonderful young couple from Bull's Creek who had recently adopted Marcel (see below). Linden and Marcel, although not related, are SO much alike in everything from looks to personality - loving, affectionate, playful - and they both loved their new family immediately. Thanks, Amanda and Adam - it was great to meet you, and we look forward to many updates and photos!

Meet "Bee." He and his mom and sister were rescued from an abandoned home in Newburg in mid-August by a student who was moving away to school. They came to us on August 27, 2012. She already had three cats of her own she was taking with her, and couldn't take three more, but also couldn't leave them on their own. She gave them food, shelter and love enough to show them that people were willing to help. They had fleas, earmites and were happy to have food and a safe place to rest.

Bee and his family were fostered by one of our DunRoamin' Kids in Woodstock. We're so grateful for our students who help care for these little ones and provide loving foster homes until permanent homes can be found for them. Bee will miss her and her mom, who loved him most of all!

On January 5, 2013, Bee was adopted by a couple from Upper Woodstock to be a friend for their cat, Halloween. Bee loved them at first sight! Congratulations, Bee! Please send lots of updates.

On July 23, 2012, four little one-week-old kittens, "Finn," "Kurt," Kenzie and Quinn came to DunRoamin' from McKenzie Corner, NB. They had no mother - she was either dead or missing - and they were in danger of dying without her. They were very tiny, cold and very hungry. Being so young, they were not yet versed in the ways of eating, peeing or pooping on their own - they needed a mom to teach them that.

So absent that mom, two young vet techs took on the responsibility of caring for these little ones, which meant feeding them by syringe every few hours and stimulating them to pee and poop, as well as bathing them, keeping them warm and ensuring they were thriving as they should. It's a big responsibility, and we're all grateful for their efforts. Finn is white withe grey on his head, Kurt is orange and white, Kenzie has lots of colour, and Quinn is multi-coloured with white). Kenzie and Quinn are female. Finn and Kurt are boys. We're sad to report that on August 19, 2012, Kenzie and Quinn passed away. Finn and Kurt were fostered by an amazingly wonderful foster mother, and . . .

. . . on January 5, 2013, she finally admitted to herself that there was just no way in the world she could ever give these two little ones up. They're family, and they're staying right where they are!! Congratulations, everyone! It's wonderful that you get to stay right exactly where you belong! Please send us updated family photos!

"Marcel" came to us on the evening of November 28, 2012 from Florenceville. He was skinny, had fleas and was cold and starving. It was also determined that he had a pellet in the left side of his face which was only detectable with x-ray. He has since had it surgically removed. He was quite vocal, but that's just because he had lots to say! He was born about the first of August, 2012, and everyone who has met him has fallen for his charms. On December 7, 2012, Marcel was adopted by a lady who lived in Bedell who had three dogs who normally loved cats, but one of them took a distinct dislike to Marcel and he was just not safe in the home. So on December 28, 2012 he came back to us to find a new home.

Marcel loves dogs, cats and people. He's very affectionate and loves to sleep with his human on her bed where he snuggles in tight. He also enjoys cuddling with other cats.

On January 3, 2013, Marcel was adopted by a very nice young couple from Bull's Creek. Marcel, renamed "Mason," will have the company of two dogs and two cats, as well as his adoring new humans. Congratulations, Mason! Please keep in touch send lots of photos!
