King Tut

Status: Adoptable

Age: Adult (approximately four years old)

Arrival Date: March 2011

Species: Cat

Gender: Neutered Male

Likes: Other cats, dogs, food, sleeping, head scratches, being brushed.

Dislikes: None as of yet

Notes:Rescued from Hamilton Animal Control, currently in foster care.
King Tut came into HAC as a stray and he quickly became a favourite among the staff at the shelter because of his friendly personality. The Ladybird Animal Sanctuary were lucky enough to find a foster home to take him in. We had him neutered (which he really needed!) and he’s settling in to the new environment in his foster home. He has another cat and a large dog to be friends with there, and his foster parents report that he loves to be brushed and scratched. King Tut would love a new home he can call his very own…

Status: Available for adoption soon…

Age: 1 year

Arrival Date: March 5th, 2011

Species: Guinea Pig

Gender: Male

Likes: Timothy Hay, Fruits, Vegetables

Dislikes: None as of yet

Notes: Rescued from Hamilton Animal Control, currently in foster care. Oscar is a very sad  case. He was signed over to the shelter by his owners who claimed they ‘couldn’t care for him anymore.’ They left Oscar with a severe skin condition and an issue with his back legs, which drag when he walks. We rescued Oscar from the shelter before he was euthanized and brought him to the vet. The skin problem turned out to be a serious infestation of mites, and his mobility issues were probably caused by a lack of proper nutrition. He may not recover complete use of his back legs, but he doesn’t seem to be too bothered by it at this point. The vet has treated the mites, and Oscar will spend some time healing in his foster home before he is officially made available for adoption.  This guy will truly deserve a good home after all he’s been through.

Commercial cages sold at pet stores are far too small for rabbits. Instead, her foster home has set Betty up in an exercise pen so she can have lots of space to move around. Betty still has a commercial cage for temporary use, but she has lots of freedom…just like every bunny should! Betty is litter trained, so there’s no mess to clean up, other than scooping her litter box!
