See all the Cats! Lotus and Bullwinkle are STILL looking for their forever home and wonder when their special person is going to come along. They are a bonded brother and sister pair born in June 2010 and rescued as youngsters from a local mobile home park in the course of a large trap-neuter-return project. Their foster mom just couldn’t bear to return them to an uncertain life in the park. Though happy where they are, they deserve to know the joy of a loving permanent home with their own special someone w...read more about Lotus & BullwinkleThis poor senior lady finds herself looking for a new forever home or foster home! Bella is a healthy 14 year old Russian blue mix (that we were told) that is spayed and declawed.

Her long time owner recently passed away and unfortunately her current foster home is VERY temporary - she only has until August 31st to find a new home. She is a VERY sweet, loving cat who loves to cuddle but with her age would do best in a household with no children under the age ...read more about Bella* PetSmart Charities National Adoption Weekend -- Friday September 16th, 2016 2nd Annual MacFund event to support TNR! -- Friday September 30th, 2016Indoor Herb Garden Kits Canada CAT SHACK & VCA ANIMAL HOSPITAL'S ADOPTION EVENT -- Sunday October 23rd, 2016Natural Gas Hot Tub Heater Let's Keep in Touch!Outdoor Table Covers With Umbrella Hole Interested in our latest news and upcoming events?

How We Can Help Each Other The Cat Shack would love to help you access low cost spay/neuter clinics where stray and feral cats can be altered to help curb the serious cat overpopulation problem. We are also happy to direct you to other agencies that offer very low cost solutions for feral cat spay/neuter, such as No Nonsense Neutering (NNN).   The Cat Shack places feral cats that can not be Trap/Neuter/Returned (TNR) into qualified barn homes, but these are very hard to find.  TNR is a viable solution for cats which prevents unwanted kittens while also allowing the adult cats to live out their lives.   We are ALWAYS in need of good barn homes for these special cats.  Please contact us at catshack@ptd.net if you can offer a few of these wonderful, fully vetted mousers a safe place that has access to food, water and shelter.

Please spay and neuter your pets and, if you are feeding stray or feral cats, please be responsible and have them spayed and neutered also. It is up to us, the animals lovers that care about these cats, to assure that there is a GOOD home available for every kitten born. We all need to do our part to prevent the birth of new cats that will never be adopted. We have so many wonderful pets who would love to have a home with you. Interested in filling out an adoption form for one of our cats? And, we would LOVE your support of our various fundraisers and programs!The Russian Blue is a gentle breed, feels shy when strangers are around. The breed is known for its patience. Russian Blue hey is extremely affectionate with the family and is an intelligent, curious, and tranquil animal. People say that the Russian Cat is a “true cat” meaning it is ready to give all your devotion to you if you are its selected favourite person. Thus you should also be prepared to give it your attention.

On the contrary, this breed can be shy with rangers but is curious enough to take a look at them. Activity level: 4/5 (They have been known to play fetch, and are sensitive to human emotions. They enjoy playing with a variety of toys and develop loyal bonds to their loved ones) Intelligence level: 4/5 (Many Russian Blues have been trained to do tricks. Russian Blues can also be fierce hunters, often catching rodents, birds, rabbits, and small reptiles.) Curiosity: 3/5 (quite curious) Friendliness: 4/5 (very affectionate to the family) Vocal: 2/5 (They can be quiet, only meowing occasionally, but can also be very talkative.) The Russian breed is an eye-catching breed of cats. One cannot resist taking a look at its captivation eyes and double coated fur. It is as hard inside as soft outside. This medium built and a beautiful headed cat is harmonious to all those it interacts with. Here are the key highlights of its appearance: Fur: The fur color is a bluish-grey that is the dilute expression of the black gene.

However, as dilute genes are recessive ("d") and each parent will have a set of two recessive genes ("dd") two Russian Blues will always produce a blue cat. The coat is known as a "double coat," with the undercoat being soft, downy, and equal in length to the guard hairs, which are an even blue with silver tips. Only Russian Blues and the French Chartreux have this type of coat, which is described as thick and soft to the touch. The silver tips give the coat a shimmering appearance. Eyes: Its almond shaped eyes are almost always a dark and vivid green. Any white patches of fur or yellow eyes in adulthood are seen as flaws in show cats. Body structure: Long, slender and elegant body. The neck is gracefully long but looks short when the cat is sitting. Facial features: The head is wedged shaped and is short from the tip of the nose to the eyes. The distance from the eyes to the ears is at least as long as from the tip of nose to the eyes. The head between the ears is flat.
