Are you “feline” good about adopting a cat in Toronto?

Well, there are over 120 recent rescues, including at least 27 kittens, in need of good permanent homes after they were taken from a Toronto residence. It was a “very sad hoarding situation,” according to Toronto Cat Rescue (TCR).

“It was actually the person themselves who got in touch with us,” TCR executive director Belinda Vandersluis said Wednesday. “She was in a kind of dire situation and needed support getting her cats surrendered.”

Mary Lou Leiher, of Toronto Animal Services (TAS), confirmed via e-mail that while “the City of Toronto bylaw provides for up to six cats, this cat owner is cooperative and seeking assistance. She will be coming into compliance with that bylaw, so no charges are necessary. There are also no animal care concerns with the cats.”

Vandersluis said after one of their volunteers went to the home last Saturday to assess the situation, TCR got in touch with TAS who sent over a veterinarian and the cats were in good shape and social.
