URGENT! Temporary foster home needed! Logan needs a place to crash while his human works out a place to live. Can you help? Connect with @secondhopecircle on social media or email info@secondhopecircle.org All expenses will be covered. Ideally you live in the Burlington/Guelph area and have a spare room. This could be a 3+ month commitment. . . What is temporary foster care? Caring for an animal while their human deals with housing, financial issues or domestic violence. You care for the animal until they can be reunited with their loving guardian. . . Logan is a super senior at 14-15 years old. He is neutered and has his claws. He will be skittish and want to hide, at first. Logan startles easily if touched when unaware but if you let him smell you first he feels more comfortable. He has lived with other cats but prefers to be alone, or with just one other cat. He is not a lap-cat, but will seek attention on his own terms. He’s a true Tuxedo. Loyal, to a definition. Loving, sensitive, and very protecting. . . #fosterhomeneeded #urgent #temporaryfosterneeded #loganthecat #supersenior #fosteringsaveslives #humananimalbond #petsarefamily #petsareforeveryone #seniorcatclub #seniorpetsrock #secondhopecircle #burlingtonontario #guelphontario

The @mississaugahumanesociety is looking for foster homes! Shadow cats and MHS are an important part of Second Hope Circle’s history! Read on to find out how. . Do you know how Second Hope Circle got started? In 2007 I asked my parents if we could foster a cat for the Mississauga Humane. There was a ‘shadow’ cat in a communal adoption room at a pet store and he was too shy to come out of the cat tree. We took Eddie in and we ended up adopting him. At the time it didn’t seem very likely that a cat who hid under the bed 24/7 and who pooped himself when scared would ever get adopted. (Read on to find out how he came around). . When the @pepsirefresh Competition began in 2010 I saw an opportunity to start something that would help harder to place animals find homes, just like Eddie. When I won the contest and grant money, Second Hope Circle was born! While SHC’s mission has changed after 8 years, I will always have a soft spot for difficult to place pets. I’m so thankful that society is accepting animals with special needs more and more now. . . Eddie was the sweet kitty who started it all, thanks to Mississauga Humane asking if we could foster a shadow cat. Eddie eventually came out from under the bed, bonded with our kitty Minou and years later jumped into my mom’s lap for the first time. He loved French fries, fishing rod toys and gentle cheek scratches and I miss him a lot. His purr was one of the loudest I’ve ever heard and his cheeks were certainly the biggest. He passed away in 2017, 10 years after we adopted him. . #mississaugaontario #history #ourmission #shadowcat #fosterhomeneeded #mississauga #fosteringsaveslives #shycat #mississaugahumanesociety #secondhopecircle
