On January 28, 2011, "Goochi," just 10 weeks old, came to DunRoamin' from the Bristol area where she was one of three kittens who were feral, cold, hungry and very scared.  They had a terrible amount of parasites, including fleas, ear mites and worms.  All these troubles were quickly addressed.  She was born about December 7, 2010.

Goochi was rescued by a senior citizen who had seen her, her mother and two sisters in the snow outside her apartment.   The temperatures had been below -25*C and when you add in the wind chill, few creatures, if any, could survive outdoors for long on their own in that kind of cold.

Even with the terribly cold temperatures, when the lady saw them in her back yard, she left her patio door open so they could come in where it was warm and have the benefit of plenty of food.  Even as feral as they were, they recognized compassion and came slowly inside.  When the senior citizen would get up to close the door, they'd run back outside.  She finally was able to close the door behind them and they came to us for help.  Goochi has been waiting for her home for eight years now.  She was not a cuddle cat and was not very comfortable around humans but was happy to have the company of other cats and to have a warm and safe home with someone to watch over her.  Gooch has a family with DunRoamin' - she's loved and will always be cared for.  During the past year or so, she has changed her mind about most humans and actually enjoys are company and a few head scratches!

On August 31, 2021, she went to be a foster kitty with a DunRoamin' friend who has known her for years and finally has the opportunity to give her a home for the time being.  Congratulations, Gooch!!  Have a great time!

"Samuel" came to DunRoamin' on June 20, 2013 from Woodstock where he had been a stray who had come to the home of people who couldn't keep him.  Neighbours took the initiative to help him, but when he had three seizures in a week, they knew they couldn't provide him with the care he needed.  They generously donated money and food to help him out and will follow his progress on this website.

Sam was born about June, 2007.  He was very skinny although he's eaten a lot of food and put on some weight since he came for help.  He was also very lethargic and was diagnosed as having epilepsy.  He's a really nice boy who can use some extra loving from a family who understands his needs.  He's currently doing perfectly well on his medication that greatly reduces the number of seizures and he is happy to take his medication with no complaints whatsoever.  He's very happy and affectionate and he's more than loving.  He likes to play with other cats and loves dogs too!   He's perfect!  You can meet him by visiting DunRoamin' - he's our greeter in our front office!

"Trickle" and her sisters Chyler and Bliss all came to DunRoamin' on November 18, 2015 from Grand Falls.  The people who had them requested that they be euthanized because they were too wild.  These three little girls were only about three  and a half months old, born about August 1, 2015.   We couldn't allow that to happen to such tiny babies.

All three were in decent health, although they were slightly skinny and had fleas.  Their parasites were treated and they got lots of healthy food so they could put on some weight.  They were initially scared, but a little love and compassion went a long way and they soon realized they were among friends.  As of January 6, 2016, they cuddled, purred and played with the best of them!   They would like a quiet home where they can enjoy the company of someone who would be fine with cats who are not snuggle bugs, but still enjoy being in the room with people.  Trickle has been fostered with her friend Ennis in Currie Siding since February 5, 2017 and they're both grateful for a temporary home environment.  They're still waiting for that permanent amily!

"Milton" came to us from the Woodstock area on July 15, 2017 where he had sustained a tail jerk injury as a result of having been struck by a vehicle.   As a result of this injury, a portion of his tail had to be removed.  He is able to pee and poop normally and shows no problems at all.  He had lost a pound in a week, but he's since gained it back and is perfectly healthy once again.

Milton is a very nice boy.  He will purr and even though he may have been uncomfortable at first, he was happy to receive pats and scratches from caregivers, knowing that he was being cared for.

Milton is currently in a foster home and is doing extremely well.  He is a real sweetheart.  Milton was born about August 4, 2012.

"Chip" returned to us on February 27, 2018.  He had originally come to DunRoamin' on June 29, 2012 from Bath, NB where he had come to a home displaying injuries.  He had ear mites and a wound on his feet and the back of his right front leg, all of which were treated by his new friends at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic.  He was adopted to a home on January 15, 2014 where he lived happily.  In February, 2018, Chip began to urinate inappropriately and was diagnosed with bladder stones.  He underwent surgery to remove them and was soon doing well.  Chip was born about July 1, 2009 and is a real sweetheart.  He loves to lay upside down and have his belly rubbed and he's a great purrer!

Chip underwent a second surgery to remove additional bladder stones and his penis had to be removed as a result of damage inflicted by the stones.  He is just fine now - just ask Chazzy (see the top of this page) - he had the same surgery years ago.  As a matter of fact, he tells us he's just perfect!!

Chip requires a prescription diet of Royal Canin Urinary S/O food to ensure he does not develop further problems, and we've had dozens of cats on this diet - there have been absolutely no problems or recurrences once they're on this diet!

Chip is a beautiful little boy who hopes to have the opportunity to live in a family situation again.  Please come meet him!

"Abel" came back to us on April 20, 2018 from Woodstock where he had been adopted in December 2015.  He had originally come to us from Lakeville in 2012 where he was one of several cats who were hanging around a home but had no one to care for him.  He, his brother Abner and sister Avis came to us all at the same time.  Able and Avis have since been adopted.

Abel is a sweet little boy who was originally very timid and needed his brother Abner to feel safe, but he's now very confident and secure and happy on his own.  Abner is eating a diet of Royal Canin Urinary S/O food to make sure that he is healthy as he has a tendency to block if he eats other foods.  We have had dozens of cats who have been placed on this diet and it works extremely well - no problems at all, as long as they eat this diet.

Abel is currently in a foster home where he will be loved, cuddled and doted upon until he is chosen for a permanent home!  He was born about April 1, 2012.  Please come meet him - you'll fall in love!

** FIV is contagious to other cats through blood and saliva.  It is reasonably difficult to spread, however, and now believed to be mostly spread through deep bite wounds.  Obviously, it would be ideal if FIV-positive cats only lived with other FIV-positive cats, but currently some of the large rescue centers in the US have been studying multi-cat households with FIV-positive cats living with FIV-negative cats and have found the risk to the non-FIV cats to be very small, assuming that the cats are all spayed/neutered and used to living in groups (ie:  not as likely to fight).  Splinter is currently living in a foster home with six other FIV- cats and there are absolutely no issues!  He's great with them!

Please read about FIV here.

"Quarry" came to us on July 28, 2018 from Newbridge where she was found on the side of the road, possibly having been struck by a vehicle.  She had cuts and scratches on her face and fluids in her abdomen.  She has received all required medical care and is doing much better as of a month later.  She has been spayed and will be up to date on her vaccines as of mid-September 2018.  She was born about July 28, 2016.

Quarry is timid and will require a very quiet home.  She will most probably not be an affectionate cat but would appreciate a safe, warm and loving place to live.  She has been diagnosed with a condition called "pillow foot" which is an inflammation or swelling in the pads of her feet.  It is not a contagious condition, but it can reoccur or "flare up."  For this reason Quarry must be an indoor cat ONLY to ensure she does not injure her feet and allow the pillow foot to flare.  A mild form is not necessarily uncomfortable but should she be out on her own and the pad swells, splits open or develops ulcers or sores, she would require treatment.  Quarry would like to have a quiet, loving home where she can be cared for to ensure her feet will not flare up again.  She has ongoing medication, but she's fine!  As long as you are not expecting a cuddle cat, she would love to have a quiet home with another cat.  She will live happily and safely in your home but may not (or may - she may surprise us!) be a cat who will ever sit on your lap or cuddle, but she'll definitely be in the room to keep you company.

"Trez" returned to us on December 27, 2018.  He originally came to us on July 13, 2018 from Riverbank, NB where he had been abandoned in a kennel outside the door of the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic.  He had very long nails, ear mites, was not neutered and was terrified.  All these problems were addressed and he quickly became a cuddle cat once he realized he was safe and among friends. 

Trez was adopted on December 15, 2018 to a home in Hartland, but it was reported that he was not happy in that home, so he returned to us.  He developed a bit of an upper respiratory infection (cold) which was quickly treated.  We're all miserable when we're sick, right?  He will probably require a diet of Royal Canin Hypo Allergenic food for life as he displays allergies.  He hopes for a chance at a loving home very soon.  He is very friendly, loving and affectionate.  Please come meet him.

"Hatfield" came to us on February 4, 2019 from the NB SPCA.  He was born about February 4, 2017, so was only about two years old.  Because Hatfield came from a location where Feline Leukemia had been found in other cats, he was segregated and retested on March 18, 2019, at which time it was confirmed that he did not have Feline Leukemia and was perfectly healthy.

Hatfield is a bit timid, but he's learned very quickly that he was safe and sound and that he has many servants who will ensure he has everything he'll need - he's doing very well. Please come meet him!

"Langford" came to DunRoamin' on March 8, 2019, from Woodstock where he had been a stray who had been hanging around for about six months and was being fed and sheltered during the recent cold winter months. On March 7, 2019, he had appeared with a large bleeding wound on the left side of his neck. Langford was born about March 8, 2017, so had apparently been surviving on his own for a while.

Langford was delivered immediately to his newest vet friend for the medical intervention he required. It was learned that Langford had sustained a previous wound on his neck which had abscessed and burst. Langford was prescribed antibiotics and other required medical care, which he quickly received. Langford is covered with numerous old fight wounds, indicating that he's had a rough life to date, but all that changed today. He is very loving and affectionate and is grateful for the warm bed and plentiful food. He's a social eater who prefers to have company when he eats, so when someone is with him, he eats up a storm of that ever-present banquet! He quickly put on some weight and is now doing fine. Langford tested positive for FIV. Please read about FIV and FeLV here.

Langford is a very attentive and smart little boy. He loves to run the length of the entire house and comes running when you call his name. He has a great sense of humour and will steal all the food he can get - he's got a very solid little body! If you're looking for a unique and interesting cat, he's definitely your boy!!

"Frazzle" came to us from Waterville on the morning of May 13, 2019 where she had been found on a porch at 8 am.  Frazzle could barely move.  She was brought for help and was immediately taken to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic for examination and assistance.  Frazzle was not in good shape.  She was born about May 13, 2017, but weighed only three pounds.

Frazzle was dehydrated, very pale, had halitosis, was emaciated, lethargic, had burdocks matted in her fur and had a purulent discharge coming from her eyes.  A thermometer revealed that her body temperature was also several degrees below normal.  She was very cold.

Frazzle was warmed up, given intravenous fluids, medications and several tests were conducted to determine if her kidneys and other organs were working properly.  Frazzle was so exhausted and weak that, in the next few hours and days, she could barely hold her head up when trying to eat warm food.

On May 14, 2019, Frazzle received a blood transfusion from a generous feline donor which has begun to make a world of difference for her.  Thanks, Biggie!  You saved her life!  Frazzle used the litter box for the first time on May 15 and appears to have the tiniest bit of energy - that's a WONDERFUL sign!

She (and we) would like to thank the Florencevile Veterinary Clinic for their kind and hard work to ensure this little one has a chance at the life she deserves.  We'll keep you up to date on her progress. 

UPDATE:  On May 31, 2019, we learned that Frazzle is improving nicely and is comfortable, happy, purring and content with her huge staff of human servants who wait on her hand and foot, day and night.  In June, she required a feeding tube to be inserted as she declined her meals. As of June 28th, she is eating on her own again and feeling better.  She'll keep the feeding tube for another week just in case she decides she doesn't want to eat again, but she's doing really well!  She hopes she can be well enough to go live with a family soon.

UPDATE 2:  On August 15, 2019, Frazzle was fortunate to go to a foster home where she is treated like a queen and is doing amazingly well!  We'd like to thank her vet tech foster mom - you're amazing!!  Frazzle is a very lucky girl!  She is hoping for a permanent home.

 

Donations in her honour are welcome and are very much appreciated.  Please click here:

"Bronte" came to us on June 6, 2019 from the Oakland area where she had been found to be in poor physical condition and obviously required help.  Bronte was born about December 8, 2018.  Her kittens, Rosamund, Rochester and Eyre (see below) also came with her.  We thank the person who discovered this colony all alone and brought them for help.

Bronte is a little nervous of dogs, so would prefer a home without dogs.  She is playful, loving and energetic.   She'd like to thank her foster families for all they've done for her.  She can't wait to go to a home!  As of October 7, 2019, she was fostered with a wonderful lady in Bath. Thank you!!

DunRoamin' accepted 27 sick/injured/abused/neglected strays during the month of May, 2019 and accepted an additional 60 strays between June 6 - 26, 2019 who will require much care.  Monetary, litter and food donations are very much appreciated so that we may continue to care for these beautiful strays. 

The Florenceville Veterinary Clinic will continue to make sure these cats are brought back to health.  DunRoamin' will continue to provide for medical care, make sure they are safe, loved and find the homes they deserve.  We are so very grateful to our supporters who enable us to help these beautiful cats and dogs.

"Trinity" came to us from Oakland on June 10, 2019 along with nine more cats, as well as 16 others who had arrived four days earlier, for a total of 26 from that location where they had been living in and around a home but had little care.  All had experienced exposure to fleas and ear mites and many had such bad upper respiratory infections that they required intensive medical care (please read about them above and below).

Trinity was born about June 10, 2017, so may be a sibling to Jubilee and Asterisk (already adopted).  She is a beautiful buff multi mother cat who was initially timid, but is doing well as she becomes accustomed to us.  She had been exposed to upper respiratory infection, fleas and ear mites, but has been treated for all.  She is also spayed, fully vaccinated and tested for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus and Feline Leukemia.  She's looking forward to a nice home where she'll be safe, warm, fed and loved.  She currently lives in a home with two dogs whom she does not mind at all.  She may have a tendency to run through open doors, but she always comes back in for food and company.  Her adoptive family should have double doors and be aware that she might try to get out, but as always, our cats must be indoor cats only where they are always safe.  Trinity is doing very well staying indoors, but may attempt a short escape on occasion.

Trinity is the 35th stray accepted by DunRoamin' so far in the month of June.

DunRoamin' accepted 27 sick/injured/abused/neglected strays during the month of May, 2019 and accepted an additional 60 strays between June 6 - 26, 2019 who will require much care.  Monetary, litter and food donations are very much appreciated so that we may continue to care for these beautiful strays.

"Babbs" came to us on July 15, 2019 from the Florenceville area.  She had been peeing inappropriately and was no longer wanted, so her future became precarious.  She was surrendered to DunRoamin' and is a beautiful little girl who was born about September 9, 2014.  She required some dental work but was fine otherwise.

Babbs has a fantastic purrsonality.  She loves everyone - especially kids!  She is very affectionate and loving and wants only to be with humans who will love her back.  She requires daily medication which she accepts easily and willingly.  She is a truly beautiful being and we hope she gets the home she deserves very soon.  Her favourite time, other than cuddling with humans, is pushing pens off a desk and carrying them around!  If you need a pen, just find Babbs - she'll have one!

Babbs has recently been diagnosed with kidney failure, so she will spend her remaining time with us being spoiled rotten!  She is a sweet little girl who deserves all the love and attention she can get!  She is currently fostered with some very good friends in Lakeville where she is being spoiled rotten - she loves it!!

"Fivel" returned to DunRoamin' on August 1, 2019.  He had originally come to us on June 5, 2015 from Florenceville where he had been found wandering in a yard.  He had a lacerated right hind leg, a severe infestation of ear mites, bleeding ears and infected puncture wounds on both front legs.  He needed help and he was able to receive it.  On December 15, 2015, he was adopted to a home in Peel.  Unfortunately, he developed crystals in his urine which clogged his urethra, ensuring urine could not leave his body.  This is very serious.

Fivel was accepted by DunRoamin' and is currently undergoing care at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic where he'll get exactly what he needs.  He is a beautiful boy!  On August 6, 2019, he underwent surgery to remove several tiny stones stuck in his urethra.  This surgery, which included a perineal urethrostomy, allowed the stones to be removed/passed and he's doing better.  He should be fine in a couple of weeks and he looks forward to joining the other boys in the S/O room (they must all eat Royal Canin Urinary S/O food to ensure they do not form stones and block again).  We have had dozens of cats on this diet and have had not a single recurrence - as long as they eat Urinary S/O food, they're perfectly fine!

I'm interested.  How do I meet this cat?

Fivel is currently in our Cats For Seniors Program where he lives happily with his friends

"Gretchen" and her sister Rosalita arrived at DunRoamin' on August 2, 2019.  They had originally come from the Edmundston area where they had been found in an empty apartment.   Fortunately, they had no extreme health problems, but no one wanted them and they were scheduled for euthanasia. 

Gretchen was born about February 1, 2019, so was only a kitten.  She was initially timid, of course, after what she'd been through, but she's doing so much better now.  She is now spayed, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites.  She is a beautiful little girl who dreams of a family to grow up in.

On October 2, 2019, Gretchen and her sister Rosalita were fostered by a very kind lady in Bath.  We are very grateful, as we were completely full at DunRoamin'.  We appreciate the help very much and Gretchen enjoys the love and attention of her foster family - both feline and human!!

"Atlas" came to DunRoamin' on November 27, 2019, from Beechwood. He was born about November 27, 2015, so was only about four years old. Atlas had been urinating inappropriately for several months and his family could no longer keep him, so he came to us for help.

Atlas was immediately assessed by his new vet friend. Among other things, he had enlarged lymph nodes and inflammation and was diagnosed with irritable bowel disorder. He received the best of care at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and was soon doing well - he just needed a bit of medical assistance! He has had some issues trying to put on weight but he's now maintaining and may even decide to put on a few ounces. He is now fully vaccinated and tested negative for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Due to his irritable bowel disorder, Atlas requires a diet of Royal Canin Hypo Allergenic food - the same as his friend Trez. Trez and Atlas live together, eat the same Hypo Allergenic food and are the best of friends.

Atlas is very friendly, loving and affectionate. He is grateful for the care of his new vet friend who checks in on him when she visits, and he's always happy to see her. His greatest wish is for a home where he can be spoiled, even if he has to take a little medication daily - it's well worth it, and so is he!! We hope he can get a new home soon - he is a real sweetheart!

"Harold" came to DunRoamin' on March 13, 2020 from Perth-Andover, NB where he had been living under an apartment building and eating garbage.  No one could help him, so he came to us. Harold was born about March 13, 2015

Harold was very much underweight, had marked stomatitis (infected teeth) which means he required all his teeth to be removed, and had hair loss on his back end.  His ears show some "character" as well - they may have been injured by frostbite, scratching, or perhaps in a fight or two to remain alive.  This little boy needed help, and that is what he got. 

Harold very quickly has made himself a favourite.  He is affectionate, loving and will turn himself inside out for a cuddle. He's very grateful to be warm, safe, have good and frequent food and have loving caregivers.  He'd love to be an indoor cat so he can live safely and have his own family to love.  He was already neutered upon his arrival.  Harold tested negative for both Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.  As you can see by his face, he LOVES chin rubs - he's missed out on so many, but that changed today!!

Harold underwent dental surgery to remove broken and infected teeth, was treated for parasites and tested negative for both FIV and FeLV. He requires a B-12 injection monthly to maintain his wellbeing as his body does not absorb enough on it's own. On November 3, 2022, Harold was diagnosed with cancer in his bowel which is untreatable. He is getting the very best of love and medical care. Harold will stay with his friends at DunRoamin' for the rest of his time where he will receive all we can possibly give him.

"Furgie" came to us on July 14, 2020, from Fredericton where she had been adopted earlier, but had been peeing and pooping inappropriately, so came back to us.  Since her return, she has displayed no such behaviour, but has been diagnosed as being diabetic.  Furgie is now on 6 units of insulin twice daily, is eating a prescription diabetic diet and is doing very well indeed.  She is playful, happy, affectionate and loves the other cats with whom she resides. 

Furgie has become one of our greeters at DunRoamin' and takes her job very seriously, although she has so much less to do due to COVID-10 restrictions, but we're all hoping this will pass soon.  Furgie was born about January 31, 2012 and hopes for a retirement home where she can sleep happily on someone's lap - it's the first place she goes if we sit down even for a second!  If you're looking for an attentive, affectionate little cat, she's your girl, and she'll pay back your kindness in spades!!  She is a beautiful little girl who loves all people and doesn't mind the medication at all, as long as someone is paying attention to her!

Furgie is a beautiful calico who will give everything to her new family, and she definitely has a lot to give.

"Rocky" came to us on November 10, 2020 from Holmesville where he had been trying to survive on his own.  He tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) - please read about it here.  He is a nice boy who loves to have his ears scratched, although when he's had enough he'll let you know by whacking you with his paw - he's in charge, you know!  He currently lives with Mordecai and Randall (see above), both of whom tested positive for FIV and are hoping for a loving home together where they can live out the rest of their lives in bliss!

Rocky has come into his own very quickly.  He is friendly, affectionate and loves to have lots of pets and scratches.  If he tires of attention, he'll let us know with a quick swat, but then is back very quickly for more loving!  He is quite the boy!  As you can read below, FIV+ cats may live long and happy lives and may interact with other cats as long as they do not fight, and he's a lover, not a fighter!  Please come meet this gorgeous tuxedo cat!  He is SO hoping for a home where he can sleep on a bed, watch TV and help his person type on a computer!  He loves to hang out with people!

On January 22, 2021, Rocky was invited to be fostered by a very nice couple in Riceville while he awaits a permanent home.  Thanks to them for giving this beautiful little boy a home while he awaits a permanent abode!

** FIV is contagious to other cats through blood and saliva.  It is reasonably difficult to spread, however, and now believed to be mostly spread through deep bite wounds.  Obviously it would be ideal if FIV-positive cats only lived with other FIV-positive cats, but currently some of the large rescue centers in the US have been studying multi-cat households with FIV-positive cats living with FIV-negative cats and have found the risk to the non-FIV cats to be very small, assuming that the cats are all spayed/neutered and used to living in groups (ie:  not as likely to fight).  We currently have FIV+ cats living with FIV- cats in foster homes and have experienced no difficulty whatsoever.

Please read about FIV here.

"Waif" returned to DunRoamin' on January 29, 2021 from Woodstock where she had been adopted about three years previously.  Waif had become ill and was not doing well, so she returned to her original vet to be treated.  Waif had a temperature and did not want to eat.

She was prescribed medication and required a feeding tube inserted until she feels well enough to eat on her own, which we hope will be very soon.  Waif was born about January 3, 2017 and is a very nice, friendly, affectionate little girl.  We'll keep you up to date on her progress.  We'd like to thank her vet tech foster mother for taking such good care of her.  She's in the best of hands.

"Lolli" returned to DunRoamin' on February 4, 2021 from Woodstock where she had been adopted previously.  She had been abandoned in an apartment but was rescued by a kind young man who took great care of her, but as she had been peeing inappropriately, he was unable to keep her.

Lolli was examined by Florenceville Veterinary Clinic staff to determine her issues and treatment and was placed on medication which has done it's job well.  She is using the little box consistently and has no further issues.  Lolli was initially stressed at such a change in her environment as she has always preferred a quiet, warm and comfortable home without stress.  As she has lived in an apartment very close to a street, she appears to be stressed by loud noises such as snowplows which pass very close to her windows.  We hope that we are able to connect her with a nice, quiet home where she can live out the rest of her years.  She may take a bit of time to settle in, but once she is comfortable, she is a cuddle cat who will jump happily into your lap and stay there as long as you will let her!

Lolli was diagnosed with a moderately severe heart murmur. She said she'd like to stay with her DunRoamin' friends unless a nice quiet home comes along where she can live happily and stress-free. She looks forward to a home of her very own.

"Theodore" came to us on April 12, 2021 from a place where he was being fed but no one was able to provide the care that he required.  Theodore had fractured and missing teeth and a badly-infected soft tissue abrasion on his left front leg.  Theodore was born about April 12, 2018.

Theodore is a beautiful boy.  He was initially scared, but has since learned that he is among friends.  He loves  his food and loves to have his head scratched.  He is doing very well and is hoping for a new home - he looks forward to that very much.  He has had a very hard life to date, but he is anxious to finally have a family who will love and care for him the way he deserves.  It takes him a second to get used to new people, but that's understandable.  He can't wait for his very own family - he has a lot to give them!!

Theodore has become very good friends with Valor and they are almost inseparable. They sleep, play and even walk places together - side by side! Theodore is more outgoing than Valor, so Valor finds his presence and friendship comforting.

Please spay and neuter your pets

"Gaia" came to DunRoamin' from a colony of cats in Somerville, NB.  Born about January 1, 2020, she was not in good shape.  Her left eye required enucleation (removal), and she required dental work once she was strong enough.  On top of these medical issues, she was found to be diabetic.  She's had a hard go, but that all ends today.

Gaia tested negative for FIV and FeLV and was spayed. She requires a very tiny amount of insulin twice daily and a diabetic diet which have both allowed her to regulate her system very well. We hope that eventually she will need only the diabetic food and can dispense with the injections! She is a beautiful little girl who is grateful to be warm and safe.  Now that she's starting to feel better, she is showing her real personality - and it's a winner!  She hopes for a loving home very soon.  Her insulin injections are really no big deal, are very inexpensive and she is SUCH a sweet little girl!  She is already putting on weight and she will be very grateful to have a family of her very own.

Diabetic cats may require a diabetic diet and/or an insulin injection once or twice daily, but once they are regulated, they do very well! Gaia eats Fancy Feast canned food and Purina DM dry food and she loves them both. She has put on weight and is now a healthy, happy, loving and affectionate little girl. She would love to have a family and live in a loving home - she's been waiting since Day 1, and she's definitely ready for one!

"Gilmore" came to DunRoamin' on June 2, 2021 from Gregg Settlement where he was peeing inappropriately in the home.  Gilmore was assessed by his vet at Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and found to have cystitis for which he is now being treated. 

Gilmore is a sweet little boy.  He loves to have his ears scratched and loves attention.  He must eat Urinary S/O food only as he may have a tendency to block if he eats any other food.  This is a high-quality food that we have used for years and have had not even one single recurrence as long as they stay on this diet!  Gilmore is looking forward to meeting a family who will love him very soon!  Perhaps there is a family that is already feeding their cat Urinary S/O food - he'd love to join!!

On August 10, 2021, Gilmore went to be fostered with his friends Sue, Steve and Rocky, another DunRoamin' cat he met this past week.  Thank you for accepting him into your home while he awaits a permanent home.  You are wonderful!!

"Astrayea" came to us on September 17, 2021 from Woodstock where her family could no longer care for her.  Astrayea was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism which will most probably require medication for life, but it's really no big deal at all!  She was born about September 16, 2009 and was already spayed.

On January 1, 2022, Astrayea moved to a foster home where she will get all the attention she demands! This young lady will monitor her wellbeing and ensure Astrayea returns as required for ongoing medical care. Her hyperthyroidism requires frequent monitoring and medication, so Astrayea has decided she'd like to stay in this foster home where she is spoiled each and every day of her life. She will receive all the care she requires and demands for as long as she wants!

"Valor" came to DunRoamin' on November 8, 2021 from Teed's Mill. Born about November 9, 2016, Valor had tartar and tapeworms. He had no other option for life - DunRoamin' was his last resort.

Valor was a bit timid (who wouldn't be in a new situation?) but his new friend, Theodore (see above) has shown him that there are no worries at all anymore. His life has changed drastically, but definitely for the better.

Valor lives with several other cats and gets along fine with them all, but especially with Theodore. He follows him around and obviously idolizes him! We hope that these two little boys may be adopted together - they are obviously the best of friends.

Valor has become very good friends with Theodore and they are almost inseparable. They sleep, play and even walk places together - side by side! Theodore is more outgoing than Valor, so Valor finds his presence and friendship comforting.

"Tanoo," and her kittens, Tamper, Tamara, Tardis, Trax and Tenet all came to DunRoamin' from the Fielding area on November 14, 2021, where they were living alone in and around an abandoned building. The location was cold, provided little shelter and very little food. Tanoo was born about November 18, 2019, and her babies were only about six weeks old. All kittens have since found homes.

Tanoo is a beautiful little girl who was initially very timid, as she had apparently never known the safety and security of a loving family. She is still slightly timid and it takes a minute for her to learn to trust a new person, but she has come a very long way and is doing well.

We hope that Tanoo can find a loving family who will give her a warm home where she can spend the rest of her life. She was born about November 18, 2019 and we're hoping she gets the opportunity to know a nice warm lap and the joy of playing with a computer mouse! Please come meet her.

"Lucia" came to us on November 16, 2021 from Teed's Mill where she had been a stray who was hanging around a home.  She was live trapped in order to ensure she was healthy, spayed and might live with her rescuers.  She tested positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia) so her rescuers were unwilling to keep her with their cats as FeLV may potentially be spread to other cats.  FeLV+ cats are able to live together with other FeLV+ cats since they already have FeLV and there is no risk to humans, other pets or other already-positive FeLV cats.

Lucia currently lives with Glory and Dazzler (see below) who are also FeLV+.  We hope that they might be adopted in pairs to a home so that they may live together happily ever after. FeLV+ can live long happy lives in loving homes. It is our wish that these four beautiful little cats get to do just that, either individually or together - they deserver it!

**  Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is found in cats worldwide.  It may be spread by saliva, nasal secretions, urine, feces and milk from infected cats.  Cat-to-cat transfer of the virus may occur from a bite wound, during mutual grooming and (though rarely) through the shared use of litter boxes and feeding dishes.  Transfer may also take place from an infected mother cat to her kittens, either before they are born or while they are nursing.  Although there has long been a stigma associated with this virus, these cats can live long and happy lives as only cats or with other cats who have FeLV.

"Dazzler" returned to DunRoamin' on November 18, 2021. She had originally come from the Hartland area where she and several siblings had been found locked in a shed during hot summer days. She had been adopted on April 16, 2013, but had been returned as she was stressed by the noise and activity of young children. On December 4, 2014, she was adopted by a couple from Stickney, but they eventually gave her up for reasons unknown.

Dazzler was born about May 25, 2011 and has beautiful blue eyes. She is completely white with a small patch of grey on her head, and she is gorgeous! Dazzler needed some dental work to remove three teeth and is now 100%. She is quiet and affectionate with people and dreams only of the home she deserves very soon. Her biggest dream is to spend the rest of her life on someone's lap! She has had a hard time in her life and this beautiful nine-year old deserves to spend the rest of her life loved as she should be - as we ALL should be! Please come meet her!

In March, 2022, Dazzler tested positive for FeLV - Feline Leukemia Virus. She requires no special food, care or medication. Please read below to learn about Feline Leukemia Virus or consult your veterinarian. We have many FeLV+ cats who have (and are) living long and happy lives as members of loving families. Dazzler is hoping to do that, too. Dazzler is currently living with her friends Scrabble and Lucia.

"Crombie" came to DunRoamin' on April 23, 2022 from Crombie Settlement, NB. He had been found in an abandoned house where he had been seeking shelter for quite some time. A kind lady had tried to catch him, but when she went back to the house he was gone. Approximately two weeks later, she was able to find and rescue him.

Crombie was born about April 23, 2012. Assessment by his new vet friend showed that he was very dirty, matted, emaciated, had fleas, ear mites, internal parasites and a luxating patella on his right leg. He had obviously been having a hard time trying to survive, but the worst and probably most painful thing was his mouth. All his teeth were rotten and required to be removed. He also had a very bad abscess on his tongue which had resulted in a hole through his tongue.

Crombie was immediately provided antibiotics, pain medication and a nice warm and comfortable bed. He was also given wet food which he devoured. Despite his physical condition, he was soon purring and kneading - saying thank you to his new vet for her help to make him more comfortable.

Crombie is a healthy and happy little boy who has bonded with Beau, who is also FIV+. They are the very best of friends and we hope that they may be adopted together. Both are neutered, fully vaccinated and treated for all parasites. They are exceptionally affectionate with each other and will bond quickly with their new human. They look forward to living in a home, watching TV, chasing a computer mouse and the many other things such fortunate adopted cats get to do!

** FIV is contagious to other cats through blood and saliva.  It is reasonably difficult to spread, however, and now believed to be mostly spread through deep bite wounds.  Obviously it would be ideal if FIV-positive cats only lived with other FIV-positive cats, but currently some of the large rescue centers in the US have been studying multi-cat households with FIV-positive cats living with FIV-negative cats and have found the risk to the non-FIV cats to be very small, assuming that the cats are all spayed/neutered and used to living in groups (ie:  not as likely to fight).  We currently have FIV+ cats living with FIV- cats in foster homes and have experienced no difficulty whatsoever.

Please read about FIV here.

"Wanda" came to DunRoamin' from McKenna, NB on June 13, 2022. She appears to have been born about June 13, 2017. She was diagnosed by her new vet friend to be lean, have ropey intestines, was matted, dirty and she was lame on her left hind leg. Investigation by her vet determined that she had a serious muscle tear in her quadriceps.

Wanda was prescribed a medical regimen by her new vet friend at Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and she is now PERFECT! Just ask her. She is fully vaccinated, spayed, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites. She is looking forward to the safe, loving home that we have promised her!

Wanda is a perfect little girl who is sometimes referred to as "The Diva." She knows how beautiful she is, and she can often be seen fluffing her beautiful long coat. She loves to sleep on anything that has been left out such as a notebook, purse, laptop, jacket, box, etc. We believe Wanda is deaf, but she has absolutely no issues with it. She talks a little louder than some cats might, but that's okay, too, because we love it when she talks to us and tells us her demands! She is a beautiful little girl who is 100% ready for a home and a family who will spoil her rotten, as she knows she deserves! Please come meet her - you'll fall in love immediately!

On February 5, 2023, Wanda went to visit her friends at The Purrfect Cup in Two Nations Crossing, Fredericton, where she hopes to meet her new family.

"Josie" came to DunRoamin' on June 21, 2022 from the Victoria County area where she had been diagnosed with diabetes. Unfortunately, no one was available to provide her care, so she came to DunRoamin' to live with our two diabetic cats who eat Diabetic food and require insulin injections twice daily. Josie was born about June 17, 2012.

Josie is a beautiful little girl who is slowly settling in with Furgie and Gaia. Thanks to the care and interest provided by her vet friend at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic, Josie does not require insulin injections - just diabetic food for the time being. Perhaps some day, she won't even need that!

Josie is doing well and is hoping for a permanent home very soon - she deserves it!

"Caitlyn" came to DunRoamin' on June 22, 2022 from the Bedell area with her sisters Celeste, Caterina and Carmella, all of whom have found homes. Caitlyn was born about June 22, 2019 and is loving and affectionate. All were relatively healthy, having such issues as mild gingivitis, coarse coat, mild tartar and/or parasites.

Caitlyn is spayed, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites.

On September 11, 2022, Caitlyn asked to become a Cat For Seniors kitty, and she now lives in Juniper with her newest friend where they thoroughly enjoy each other's company! Congratulations to both!

"Kensi" came to DunRoamin' on July 6, 2022 from the Woodstock area where her owners could no longer care for her. Born about May 5, 2019, Kensi had developed kidney stones and required surgery which took place on July 7. Of course, with the skills of the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic, surgery was successful and Kensi is recovering well.

Kensi is overweight and will need a diet to ensure that she soon is of a healthy weight. We will keep you informed about her kidney stones - we're hoping that with a regular diet as she loses weight that she will be fine. She weighed about 18 pounds when she arrived, so will definitely need to lose weight to become healthy. She is a beautiful little girl!

"Sacha" came to DunRoamin' on August 24, 2022 from the Somerville area. She was born about August 24, 2009. She came to us with entropion (a condition where her eyelashes turn inward instead of outward - this can be very painful and required surgery to correct), she was very badly matted, had fleas, ear mites and required surgery to remove her infected teeth. She was also missing her right front leg and her left front leg has arthritis due to the extra strain it has had to accept. With all these things working against her, she was not in good shape. She needed help.

Sacha was soon feeling much better once she was prescribed pain medication, provided a healthy diet, was getting a bit of exercise, had her eyelids fixed and her teeth removed. She has also been treated for all parasites and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Her past few years were not the greatest, but now she runs to meet us, loves to be patted and is very vocal when she wants attention. She is a very sweet cat whose personality is shining through now that she is pain free. She is a beautiful little girl. Come meet her!

"Quenton" came back to DunRoamin' along with "Quiz" and "Cobble" on September 26, 2022. They had originally come to us as kittens who had a bad upper respiratory virus - so bad that each had to have an eye removed. Quiz and Cobble are sisters who were born about May 4, 2017. Quenton is approximately two months older, having been born about March 1, 2017, but they feel like sisters and are constantly together.

They had been adopted together in 2017, but unfortunately, due to personal reasons their adopter had to return them five years later. They have never been separated and we hope that they may stay together, or at least be adopted with a friend so that they always have feline companionship.

All three cats will stand on their hind legs to receive pats, and all are extremely affectionate and loving. Please come meet them - you won't be disappointed if you are looking for love, affection and attention!

"Boo" came to us on October 26, 2022 from the Woodstock area where she was not getting the care that she required. Born about June 14, 2022, she had fleas, ear mites, was not spayed, did not know how to use a litter box and weighed only 3.6 pounds. She had never been to a vet before, so required lots of care.

Boo is a very sweet little girl. She loves to play and is very friendly and affectionate. She is a beautiful little girl who is now litter trained and would love to have a home of her very own, preferably with another cat with whom she could play and cuddle when a human is not readily available! She is already spayed, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites. She looks forward to a home of her very own. She thanks the lady who rescued her and ensured she would have a safe life and be loved and cared for forever, as we all should be.

"Olen" came to us on November 2, 2022 from New Denmark where an unspayed cat had had a litter of kittens. Little Olen was the smallest and he was not doing well. He had an eye infection and diarrhea had made him dehydrated and given him a red, raw and painful bum. He was just a baby, having been born about August 24, 2022 and there was no help for him in his current location.

Olen was happy to receive medical care from his friends at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic where he soon became healthy, happy and a going concern! On December 17, 2022, he was excited to go to a foster home with his friend Boo where he will be spoiled with love and attention from his foster family which includes two young children. He will be anxious to join a permanent family very soon. He thanks his foster family for giving him and his friend Boo the opportunity to live with them so that they can fully appreciate the love and warmth of family. He hopes for his very own permanent one soon.

"Glory" came to DunRoamin' on Novermber, 3, 2022 from the Woodstock area where she had been taken in by the NB SPCA. She was not in good shape. She was missing her left hind leg from the knee down - perhaps from birth, was underweight, had diarrhea and was not eating well at all. Feeling as poorly as she did, she did not have the energy or motivation to get up and use the litter box, so she used pee pads.

Glory was cared for at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic until she was well enough to come back to us. Glory is now eating well, is using the litter box consistently and her diarrhea has pretty much been eliminated. Glory tested positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) - click here to read more about that. These cats can live long and healthy lives with this disease and are still loving, contributing family members.

Glory is very loving and affectionate. Her vet has decided that her leg is 100% fine, so she will not require the rest to be amputated. She is spayed and fully up to date on vaccines and parasite control. Glory was born about January 4, 2022 and is a sweet cat. Please read up on FeLV - she is a beautiful cat who hopes for a permanent home soon. She deserves that - we all do!

"Stellar" and her sister Stash" came to DunRoamin' from the Mapledale area on November 21, 2022. It appeared that they may have been two cats who had escaped from a house fire several weeks earlier. They had been located in the general area, but had no place to call home anymore. Stellar has long hair and Stash has short hair. They are absolutely gorgeous!

Born about March 22, 2022, they definitely needed some good food, a warm, safe place to recuperate and some friends to care for them. Stellar is outgoing but her sister is a bit more shy. They love each other and would like to stay together if at all possible - they've been through a lot in their short little lives.

Both Stellar and Stash are now spayed, fully vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites. On January 18, 2023, they were invited to spend some time in a foster home with a lady and her husband who are amazing at making cat feel safe, comfortable and loved. Congratulations, girls! You'll soon become familiar with wonderful people and the joys and comfort of a loving home! Tell your foster parents thank you from all of us!

"Blurry" came to DunRoamin' on November 22, 2022 from the Woodstock area where he had been hanging around asking for food for quite some time. Although he would happily eat the food, he was not trusting of people and was considered feral. He had been born about November 1, 2020, so had probably been on his own since he was a kitten.

Blurry was live trapped and brought for help where it was learned that he had numerous wounds on his body, perhaps from trying to fight for food. His mouth was in terrible shape and he required thirteen teeth to be removed.

Blurry received all required medical care at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and soon joined us at DunRoamin' where he is learning to be comfortable with his human servants. It was soon learned that he is diabetic, and as of February 6, 2023, is currently taking 3.5 units of Lantus insulin twice daily to help stabilize him. He is eating Purina DM food and Fancy Feast chicken or fish canned food and we hope to have his levels sorted out soon. He thanks everyone who has helped him, and he is very aware and grateful for the drastic improvement in his life and the many people who have made it possible.

"Lou" came to DunRoamin' on December 7, 2022 from Perth-Andover, NB, where he had been a stray who had been hanging around the area for quite some time. He was not in good shape.

Lou appears to have been born around December 8, 2012, so is approximately ten years old - maybe more. He was very skinny and his ears were full of ear mite debris which may have made it difficult for him to hear. He is receiving medication to rectify that. He was dehydrated, had ropey intestines, was very skinny, has a heart murmur, minor tartar on his teeth, and his left hip has a poor range of motion, perhaps due to an old injury that was never treated. Lou was already neutered, so probably belonged to someone at some point, although his body condition seems to say he's been on his own for quite some time - maybe even years.

Lou is a sweet boy who is very grateful to be warm, safe and have a full belly. He has been sleeping most of his time with us so far and we hope he will gain strength and health again soon. We are all grateful to the lady who brought him for help. Donations for his care are gratefully accepted - he deserves the best life possible now, and that's what we hope to give him.

On January 22, 2023, Lou went to stay with his favourite new person as a foster cat in Florenceville. He has been diagnosed with kidney problems, so he will happily live with this very loving lady for the rest of his life where he will get the best of love and medical care.

"Matcha" returned to DunRoamin' on December 31, 2022. He had originally come to us on June 1, 2021 from Craig's Flats where his owner could not keep him as he was unneutered and their cat kept having kittens. He was lean, had ear mites and scabs all over his body, perhaps from fighting with other unneutered cats. Matcha was born about June 1, 2020.

Matcha originally came to DunRoamin' on June 1, 2021 from Craig's Flat, NB where he was a stray whose owner could not keep him. He had ear mites, he was lean and had scabs all over his body. He was not yet neutered.

Matcha soon was fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and was neutered. HE was adopted in August, 2022, but his new owner soon found that her new job required her to travel too much and he was had to spend too much time alone. His owner knew that this was not the life he deserved, so Matcha came back to us. He is a very nice boy who is initially nervous, but once he is sure you're a good person, he settles in to be a great friend and companion. Please come meet him!

"Kazu" came to DunRoamin' on January 1, 2023. Her name means "first", so we thought it very fitting! Kazu had been born about September 1, 2022, and was found all alone in Bannon, NB with no family to care for her. As her rescuer could not help her, she came to us.

Kazu was examined by her new best vet friend on New Year's Day. She had porcupine quills in her face and paw, had fleas, was underweight and dehydrated. Thanks to her vet, her quills were removed and she was provided with the medical care she requires to become strong and healthy. Kazu purrs constantly, very happy and grateful to be warm, safe and have a full belly and friends to wait on her every wish and dream. She looks forward to being adopted into a loving family where she will be safe and loved forever.

On February 19, 2023, she went to spend time with his friends at The Purrfect Cup while she awaits a new home.

"Dozer" came to DunRoamin' on January 2, 2023 from the Aroostook area. Born about January 5, 2018, he had a ruptured abscess on his face, he required dental work and both ears were cauliflower ears as a result of ongoing and extensive damage caused by a massive number of ear mites. As he was unneutered, he had a very strong aroma of urine. Dozer had been seen in the neighbourhood for many years but had no one to care for him.

Dozer is a very nice boy. Now that he has received medical care and lots of love and attention from his DunRoamin' servants, he is showing himself to be a real sweetheart. He is grateful to all who have changed his life and is now neutered, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and is completely rid of all those pesky, annoying, painful parasites.

On March 11, 2023, Dozer went to spend some time with his friends at The Purrfect Cup, Two Nations Crossing, Fredericton, where he'll have a wonderful time while he waits to meet that special person who will invite him to join their family where he will be warm, safe, loved and spoiled for the rest of his life.

"Yaeger" came to DunRoamin' on January 17, 2023 from Somerville, NB. He had been a stray in the area for about four years but was now injured and had no one to care for him.

Yaeger was born about January 17, 2014. He had several deep wounds on the side of his face that were probably self-inflicted due to the large number of parasites he was carrying which made him so itchy and uncomfortable that he scratched himself very badly in an effort to stop the pain. Yaeger was immediately provided with all medical care required, including parasite control. As of February 17, 2023, his wounds are healing well. He is a very nice boy who has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Please read about it here.

Yaeger's wounds have healed very well. He may still have a bit of scarring on his face (or not!), but his eyes glow with gratitude now that he is pain-free, warm, safe and has such a delicious and nutritious diet. He would love to have his very own home and family - that would be a miracle to him! Please come meet him - he loves people and has lots of attitude!!

"Lawrence" came to us on January 17, 2023 from the Debec area. He was diagnosed with diabetes and required daily injections of insulin which, due to the particular timings of this requirement, his caregivers were unable to provide. Lawrence was born about January 22, 2013 and is a very nice boy.

Lawrence also had a wound on his hind leg which required medical care. It is healing quickly and he is responding well to his insulin. He is a vocal and sweet little boy whose only wish is that he might live in a home, sleep on a bed and watch TV with his family (oh – and chase the mouse on a computer screen, too!) Please come meet him!

"Flirt" and her sister Poppet (see below) came to us on February 11, 2023 from the Greenfield area. She was living outside and appeared to have no one to care for her. She had parasites which were quickly treated. Flirt was also diagnosed with upper respiratory infection, but she is on medication and getting better by the day! On March 2, 2023, Flirt underwent dental surgery to remove several teeth that were not in good repair. We can tell she feels better already. She is doing well and regularly cuddles with her sister, Poppet - they're both doing fine and are hoping for a home together. She is very social and loves people. She is happy to be indoors, warm, safe and have lots of soft warm beds.

Flirt was born about February 14, 2022, both she and her sister were about one year old. They are very attached to each other and it is our hope that they may be adopted together.

"Poppet" and her sister Flirt (see above) came to us on February 11, 2023 from the Greenfield area. She was living outside and appeared to have no one to care for her. Born about February 14, 2022, she had parasites which were quickly treated. In addition, Poppet was underweight and her right eye displayed a previous injury which had apparently occurred some time ago but was now infected. She also required numerous teeth to be removed. On March 2, 2023, while performing surgery to remove Poppet's eye, her vet found a ball bearing approximately one centimeter in diameter in the back of her eye socket. It appears that Poppet had been shot and the ball bearing caused damage to her eye as well as the right side of her face. Numerous bone fragments were required to be removed during this surgery.

Poppet is already feeling much better. She must be so relieved to have the ball bearing gone from her head - we're not sure how long it had been in there, but it definitely caused her pain and discomfort as she is showing more personality already. She also displays gratitude by head butting her caregivers - something she had not done before this surgery. We are grateful that she had the opportunity to have this surgery - without it, no one would have known about the ball of steel in her head. She is doing better each day and shows her gratitude to her caregivers. Thanks to her vet for finding and removing it - Poppet now has a pain-free chance of love, family and above all - safety. She looks forward to the day when she and her sister might be adopted into a loving home where they will live happily and well-loved ever after.

"Velvet" and her three kittens Corduroy, Satin and Denim (see below) came to DunRoamin' on February 17, 2023 from Wakefield where their owner was unable to provide the care they required. Velvet was born about February 17, 2022, so was only about a year old and already had three children to care for! Velvet was relatively healthy, had ear mites and was not yet spayed. She was initially timid, but has become more and more social with each passing day. She is grateful to have a place for her and her three babies - they are all weaned and doing well, although each has a hernia which will be repaired during their spays.

"Corduroy" came to us along with her mother Velvet and sisters Satin and Denim on February 17, 2023, from Wakefield where their owner was unable to care for them. Born about December 9, 2022, they were already weaned from their mom and will be ready for homes as soon as each is fully vaccinated, spayed, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for parasites. Each kitten was relatively healthy but had ear mites and a hernia which will be repaired at the time of their spay surgery. Corduroy is mostly black with some white. All are affectionate, energetic and curious little furballs!

Satin and her sister Denim are completely black and are virtual twins - they even weighed exactly the same on their day of arrival! All are affectionate, energetic and curious little furballs!

"Penelope" came to DunRoamin' on February 17, 2023, from the Greenfield area. Born about February 23, 2020, she was pregnant and due to recent events, her family could not take on the responsibility of kittens at this time.

Penelope had ear mites but was otherwise relatively healthy. She will be spayed, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites. She is a very friendly and loving little girl who looks forward to a new home. Please come meet her!

"Seger" came to DunRoamin' on March 3, 2023 from near Temperance Vale where he had been a stray who had been hanging around for about four years. Sadly, no one had been able to take him in and now he had shown up with an injury on his left shoulder and help was not available for him in his area.

Seger was examined by his new vet friend who determined the following: he had an injury on his left shoulder, a broken right canine tooth, was matted and had many superficial wounds on his body. He also had fleas and a severe ear mite infestation - not pleasant!! Seger was neutered, provided with injectable antibiotics and given parasite control. The laceration on his left shoulder was stapled and he was soon feeling much better. His wound should heal well and he is already a happy, purring little boy - he feels much better and is happy to have a warm, soft bed, plenty of nutritious food and no worries at all. He will be very happy to be chosen for a permanent home so that he can spend the rest of his life indoors, safe and sound.
