Abandoned Cats Rescue (ACR) is the longest established cat rescue group in the Hamilton area. We're a Canadian Registered Charity that is entirely volunteer operated and donor funded. We respond to requests to help abandoned and neglected cats, strays, and pets needing to be re-homed. All cats and kittens taken into our care are placed in loving foster homes and, prior to being put up for adoption, are vet examined, flea/worm treated, vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped and provided with treatments or surgeries for any identified medical issues. We never euthanize an animal in our care unless that animal is suffering and beyond any type of medical help. We believe that there is the perfect home for ALL of our cats and that each of them deserves a chance to be loved forever!

FEATURE KITTENS STRIPES AND SMOKES

Our local Animal Services reached out asking if we would help with two kittens that came into the shelter. Stripes and Smokes have both been exposed to feline herpesvirus (FHV-1), a common virus in cats. They currently live alongside other vaccinated cats without the virus in the foster home without any issues. They required extra attention which is hard for them to receive in the shelter. We were happy to bring these two wonderful boys into our care.

Stripes is a beautiful 4½-month-old brown tabby and quite possibly one of the sweetest little kittens you'll meet. He has the most adorable way of showing you he's happy: he'll walk over, plop himself down in front of you and start purring.

He loves affection, belly rubs and cuddling, and he genuinely seems to enjoy just being close to his people. He is playful and loves being a kitten, but he also has a wonderful calm side. He's a really nice balance of playful and cuddly and is usually quite happy to settle in for some love after playtime.

Stripes is very close with his brother, Smokes. They play together, keep each other company and have grown up side by side. He would love to be adopted with his brother. Stripes has also spent time around other cats in his foster home and does very well with them.

Stripes is a BIG fan of food! He can be a little enthusiastic at mealtime and would happily volunteer to check everyone else's bowl. Some monitoring may be required.

Smokes is a gorgeous 4½-month-old grey kitten with an adorable eye quirk with a whole lot of personality! He is a busy little guy who loves to run, explore, chase toys and play. He has tons of kitten energy and would be happiest in a home where he has plenty of space to run around and lots of opportunities to burn off that energy.

Smokes also has a very sweet side, especially when it comes to his brother Stripes. The two are very close, and Smokes loves playing with him, keeping him company and even giving him little baths! He enjoys having his brother around and would loved to be adopted with him. Smokes has also spent time around other cats in his foster home and does very well with them.
