Solo came to us on March 20, 2018 from Northampton. He was part of the DunRoamin/PetSmart Charities Woodstock Community Cat program initiated to help spay and neuter unowned cats in the area in order to prevent the birth of more sick, injured and homeless cats - there are already way too many without families to care for them. Solo was born about March 20, 2016.Upon examination, Solo was found to have ear mites and a large wound on his back near his tail. There was no medical care available to him at all, so we accepted him and he became our responsibility. Solo's wounds were infected and he badly needed medical care. Solo was very happy to be safe, fed and warm. He has been neutered, tested for FIV and FeLV and is fully vaccinated. He is very affectionate and greatly enjoys the company of humans - he talks constantly if you'll listen and answer him! His wound has healed nicely with lots of medical care from his friends at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic. He's very grateful for the care, food, warm bed and feline and human friendship. He has a wonderfully loving personality and can't wait to have his very own human! He is currently fostered with his friend Chaps while he awaits his own permanent family! On January 9, 2019, we learned that Solo had requested to remain as a permanent family member, and his foster family just couldn't say "No!" And to make things even that much happier, his friend Chaps (see below) was also invited to become a full-time family member! Yahoo! Congratulations!

I have FIV, click here to see what that means for me and you.

Trident came to us along with his brothers Wrigley, Mentos and sister Chiclet, on September 3, 2018, from the Florenceville area where they had been found in a box on the side of the Centreville Road. Although they were all healthy and did not fall under our mandate of sick/injured, etc, they were accepted so the threat of being thrown off the Florenceville bridge into the river did not become a reality. Trident was born about July 23, 2018 and is 100% ready for a permanent home. He thanks his friend Kathy for fostering his family to make sure they received the love, attention and socialization required for them to become loving family members for the lucky people who will eventually choose them. They are cuddle kiddens who love laps, shoulders and chests to sleep on - they come running if you sit or lay down! And they love to look you in the eye and talk!On December 25, 2018, Trident was ecstatic to learn that his first Christmas was one he would remember forever! He and his two siblings, Chickley and Wrigley (see below), were all chosen as the newest family members of a very nice family in Fredericton. They couldn't choose one from such a wonderful group and didn't want to separate them! They are now the new friends of a nice young man on whose bed they sleep each night. We are all so grateful that they got to stay together in such a wonderful home. Merry Christmas! Stay in touch!! We'll all miss your cuteness!

Wrigley came to us along with his sister Chiclet and brothers Mentos and Trident on September 3, 2018 from the Florenceville area where they had been found in a box on the side of the Centreville Road. Although they were all healthy and did not fall under our mandate of sick/injured, etc, they were accepted so the threat of being thrown off the Florenceville bridge into the river did not become a reality. Wrigley was born about July 23, 2018 and is ready for a permanent home (neutered, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites). He thanks his friend Kathy for fostering his family to make sure they received the love, attention and socialization required for them to become loving family members for the lucky people who will eventually choose them. Wrigley is an independent little guy, but likes to snuggle with his sister Chiclet, too. They love to curl up in a little furball on your lap or chest and purr themselves to sleep. They are ADORABLE!On December 26, 2018, his dream came true when he and his siblings, Chiclet and Trident (see above and below), were all chosen by a young boy in Fredericton who is looking forward to growing up with his three new best friends. They are fortunate to join this family, fortunate to stay together and fortunate to have such a memorable first Christmas together. Thanks to your family for giving them all the best Christmas present EVER!! Merry Christmas!

Chiclet came to us along with her brothers Wrigley, Mentos and Trident, on September 3, 2018, from the Florenceville area where they had been found in a box on the side of the Centreville Road. Although they were all healthy and did not fall under our mandate of sick/injured, etc, they were accepted so the threat of being thrown off the Florenceville bridge into the river did not become a reality. Chiclet was born about July 23, 2018 and was soon ready for a permanent home (spayed, tested for FIV and FeLV, vaccinated and treated for all parasites). She thanks her friend Kathy for fostering her family to make sure they received the love, attention and socialization required for them to become loving family members for the lucky people who will eventually choose them. Chiclet loves to curl up together with her siblings, but she and Wrigley are the most bonded. All of them love to curl up on a lap, chest or bed together and purr everyone to sleep! And they will look you in the eye and yell at you to get your attention! So CUTE! On December 26, 2018, Chiclet was so very happy to receive the first (and BEST) Christmas present of her life when she and her two brothers, Wrigley and Trident (see above), were all chosen by a young family in Fredericton as their newest members. They are SO grateful for their new young friend on whose bed they get to sleep each night and they're looking forward to their new world. Congratulations to everyone. Thanks to their new family for keeping them together! Merry Christmas!!

Micah came to us on August 24, 2018 from Mazerolle Settlement where she had been found in a barn. She had a previously-broken leg, perhaps from being stepped on and her joint was dislocated to the point that her foot was on backwards and she was actually walking on the top of it! That must have been very painful. Micah was born about June 24, 2018.Micah was sedated and her foot was repaired by her best new vet friend. She may have some scar tissue, but we're hoping for the very best and she's already on her way to just that! She is extremely cute, playful, cuddly and lovable. She tested slightly positive for FIV, but she'll be retested shortly after Christmas and we're thinking she will test negative then. It'll be a short time before she'll be ready to leave vet care, but she looks forward to a permanent home of her very own. She's really never had that! She's grateful for the love of her foster home!On December 25, 2018, Micah learned that she would not ever be leaving her foster home! She was adopted by her foster family and she'll live happily here ever after! We're not sure who's happier- Micah or her young friend who has fallen so much in love with her! It was a wonderful Christmas surprise for both of them! Merry Christmas, Baby Shark! Merry Christmas, Kyla! Thanks for loving this little one!

Esau came to us on December 1, 2018 from Beechwood. No one was willing or able to help him. He was a very nice little boy who had experienced too little love and care in his life. He had a head tilt and had surgery to remove a polyp and is now much better, although his head still tilts a little! He's super affectionate and loves people. Esau was born about December 1, 2017. He will require monitoring of his ear to ensure the polyp does not return. Esau is currently on some medication to ensure his ear is the best it can possibly be, but he's hoping he won't need any medication at all in the near future. He'll be monitored to ensure he has the very best of care.On December 24, 2018, Esau was adopted by a young lady who lives in Fredericton. She met him and that was that! Instant LOVE! Esau spent his first night in his new home in complete and utter glory - he couldn't have dreamed life could be this good! Congratulations, Esau! And congratulations to your new family. Merry Christmas!!

Winston came to us on October 27, 2018 from Muniac where he had been found all alone under a car. No mom or siblings were located and no one was able to take him in. Winston was born about September 18, 2018 so was only about five weeks old. What baby could possibly make it on his own in this cold weather? Winston was fostered by a vet tech to ensure he got the socialization he required and deserved and he's turned into a REAL sweetheart (of course!) He's well on his way to being excited about his very first Christmas and is anxious to start his new life with a family who will love him forever. By the way, he likes dogs, too! And Christmas trees! And toys! And EVERYTHING!!!On December 22, 2018, Winston was adopted by a young couple in Somerville where he'll have the best life ever. He's super excited about his very first Christmas - we're guessing he's going to be spoiled rotten! Have fun, Winston! Merry Christmas!!

Tayla and her brother Scott (see above) were found on the road in Hartland on the afternoon of June 9, 2018 and were brought to DunRoamin' for help. Examination by their new vet revealed that they had been born about April 16, 2018.Scott and Tayla weighed only 14 ounces upon their arrival. They were hungry but too scared to eat. They were fed by syringe every few hours throughout the next two days and nights until they finally became comfortable enough to eat some Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR) on their own. They also had to be stimulated to pee and poop every few hours, as their mother would have done for them had she been with them.Scott and Tayla were fostered by a vet tech to ensure they got the medical care they required while they acclimatized to their new environment and learn to eat, pee and poop appropriately. They are the exact same weight and are very similar in appearance, with Scott having a slight tan tint to the fur on his face. They'd like to stay together if at all possible - they're the only family each other has right now until that perfect new family asks them to join theirs. They can't wait!On December 19, 2018, Tayla got the best news of her young life. Both she and her brother Scott were invited to join a family in Woodstock where they'll be loved beyond words by their two new adult humans and two young children who love them already! As an added bonus, their new sister is DunRoamin's Arizona - a very beautiful girl! Congratulations to everyone! Merry Christmas!! Thanks to your new family for keeping you both together!

Mentos came to us along with his brothers Wrigley and Trident and sister Chiclet, on September 3, 2018, from the Florenceville area where they had been found in a box on the side of the Centreville Road. Although they were all healthy and did not fall under our mandate of sick/injured, etc, they were accepted so the threat of being thrown off the Florenceville bridge into the river did not become a reality. Mentos was born about July 23, 2018 and is anxiously waiting for a permanent home. He thanks his friend Kathy for fostering his family to make sure they received the love, attention and socialization required for them to become loving family members for the lucky people who will eventually choose them. Mentos is particularly fond of his brother Trident and they snuggle constantly. They all love to curl up on a lap or chest and purr everyone to sleep! On December 15, 2018, Mentos was elated to learn that his first Christmas present would be a permanent home in Campbell Settlement! And he'll have a feline friend almost his own age to run, play and cuddle with! Congratulations, Mentos! We'll be looking forward to lots of photos as you grow. Merry Christmas!!

Monk came to us from Greenfield on November 21, 2018 where he had obviously belonged to someone since he has such a wonderful and sweet personality. No one was able or willing to help him and his only other option was not a good or safe one for him. He had tapeworms and was still intact.Monk was born about November 23, 2016. He is exceptionally friendly and loving. He has been neutered, tested for FIV and FeLV, vaccinated and is hoping for a new home for Christmas. He loves all people, especially kids and will follow them around hoping for some attention!On December 12, 2018, Monk was adopted by a very nice family from Coldstream where he will be a new friend for a young boy who has been very anxious for him to join their family. Congratulations, Monk! Merry Christmas! Send lots of photos!!

Seeley came to us on December 1, 2018 from Bristol, NB where he was found near Crabbe's Lumber yard. A kind young gentleman noticed his left front leg required medical help and brought him immediately. Seeley was born about August 30, 2018 so was only about three months old. He was dirty, hungry, tired, cold and scared, but he's going to be okay now, because he's DunRoamin'!Seeley's left front leg was necrotic - the tissue was dead. He may have sustained an injury which had become infected and since there was no one to help him it progressed to this terrible degree. Seeley's leg had to be amputated at the shoulder, but he's doing very well. Seeley is warm, safe, loved and shows his gratitude and contentment with head butts and purrs. He is starting to learn to play and is well socialized by his new vet friend who makes sure he keeps her company while she's writing her notes. Thanks for that! Seeley is doing exceptionally well with three legs and can get around with the best of them! On December 12, 2018, Seeley met a couple from Lake George who had read his story, seen his photo and had been deeply touched. They knew he was the perfect kitten to join their family of two dogs and four cats, three of whom are DunRoamin'. Hi, Bruce Springsteen (Curtis), Archie Andrews (Clifford) and Jughead Jones (Acer)! Merry Christmas to you all! Congratulations, Seeley! You've got it made now!

Banjo came to us with her sister Sonnet (see below) in the late evening of October 12, 2018 when, fortunately for these two kittens, a DunRoamin' volunteer decided to check on our cats late at night. In a carrier outside the door were Sonnet and Banjo. Both were cold and terrified. It was learned from a note left with them that they were more babies of Fame, and therefore siblings to Fortune, Hakuna and Matata who had also been abandoned outside the door in the cold weather we'd been having. They were born about July 12, 2018.Both kittens were reunited with their family, but were not easily comforted by their presence. They were examined by a veterinarian to ensure their health, then were vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV, treated for all parasites and spayed to ensure they did not contribute to the already-too-large number of unwanted/homeless cats in our communities.Sonnet, Banjo, their mom Fame and siblings Fortune, Hakuna and Matata were fostered by a kind lady in Florenceville, then returned to DunRoamin' where . . .. . . on December 8, 2018, Banjo met a young family from Temperance Vale. Both she and her sister Sonnet were invited to join this family and they'll now live happily ever after as friends for their two adult humans and young boy. Congratulations, Sonnet and Banjo! We're so happy you got to stay together! What a wonderful Christmas present for you both!

Splash came to us on August 19, 2018 from Woodstock where he was found standing on a rock in the Saint John River, screaming for help. He was rescued and brought to DunRoamin' for help. No other cats or kittens were located in the area. He was soon warm, fed and safe. He was born about June 27, 2018 and had a wound on his right front leg. He was cold, hungry and skinny, but he's now in perfect health and perfect purrfection!Splash is very cute, very affectionate and very energetic. He is neutered, tested, fully vaccinated and ready for a permanent home. If you want to meet the cutest kitten ever, he's your boy!On December 6, 2018, Splash met a lady from Hartland who fell in love (who wouldn't??) He now lives in Hartland with another cat and a cat-loving dog! Congratulations, Splash! Write soon! Send pictures!!

Fortune came to us on the morning of October 12, 2018. When our Stray Caretaker arrived at work, he found a tote and inside were Fortune, her mom Fame and siblings Hakuna and Matata. They were cold, scared and covered in urine and feces - they had most probably been left there since early evening the night before (after we were closed) and it was a very cool night. They were cleaned, warmed up, fed and were examined by a veterinarian to ensure their health. They will now receive the care they require, including, and most importantly, spays and neuters. They were born about July 12, 2018.These kittens are the result of still more unspayed/unneutered pets. Had Fame been spayed or had her kittens' father(s) been neutered, these kittens would not have added to the already-too-large-number of homeless pets for whom no one is able or willing to care. Fortune is the 209th cat we have accepted so far this year. Of this total, 124 sick/injured/abused/neglected cats and dogs arrived in the past 133 days. With such a huge influx in such a small amount of time, our resources were at an all-time critical low. If you'd like to help, please check out our Donate page or e-mail inquiries@dunroaminstrayandrescue.com.On December 4, 2018, Fortune was adopted to a family in Newbridge who has a kitten her age. She'll have a great time with her new friend. Congratulations, Fortune! Merry Christmas! Don't forget to send us lots of photos!!

Sephora came to us on November 22, 2018 from Wakefield. A cat who was assumed to have been her mom had been found dead on the road several days before and Sephora was all alone. She was born about October 4, 2018. She was scared to the point that she had to be live trapped by rescuers who heard her screaming for help outside their home. She was very slim but relatively healthy - her mom had done a good job.Sephora is booked for her spay, vaccines, parasite control and FIV/FeLV testing. She's very playful and loving, and she weighs almost nothing! She feels like she's made of feathers but her personality is made of sunshine!! She is SO happy to be warm, safe and loved. Her personality radiates sunshine, gratitude and happiness!On December 3, 2018, Sephora was adopted by a lady from Victoria Corner where she'll be loved beyond her wildest dreams! Congratulations, Sephora! We'll see you soon! Send lots of photos and videos so we can watch you grow. We'll miss all your little kitten antics!

Aslan" came to us on August 15, 2018 from Royalton, NB. He was a stray who had been coming to a home for about two years, but this time they believed he had a sore paw. Aslan was examined by his vet and found to have flea dermatitis, old fighting wounds all over his body and two broken and infected teeth. He was neutered, tested for FIV and FeLV (results were negative) and his damaged and infected teeth were removed. He had to be shaved due to the large amount of matted fur on his body and he had a tick under these mats which was immediately removed. He was also prescribed pain medication, an anti-inflammatory medication and antibiotics to help treat his injuries. He was born about August 15, 2013.Aslan, although a bit nervous and unsure of his new surroundings at first, soon recognized the fact that he would now be okay. He was treated for his problems and is now perfectly fine. He readily accepts a head scratch and a warm pat and is looking forward to the potential of having his very own permanent home and family where he won't have to struggle and fight to survive. He'll gladly repay his new family with love and affection each and every day. He loves people and loves to head butt! He has been neutered, tested negative for FIV/FeLV and is completely up to date on his vaccines. He has a cauliflower ear which has been treated with ear drops, and he's doing just fine. On October 12, 2018, he was welcomed into a foster home in Maplehurst where he was the best friend of two young children while he awaited a permanent home and family of his very own. On November 29, 2018, Aslan met a young couple from Upper Salmon Creek, NB and he fell in love, especially with his new dad! He loves them both! He'll be a new friend for their four dogs and will be spoiled rotten! Congratulations, Aslan! Thanks to your new family! Send photos soon! And often!

Pond was one of four kittens who came to us on June 16, 2015 from Oakland where they had been born to an unspayed mother cat who was reported to have run away. They were born on May 26, 2015. Pond is a sweetheart who loves his siblings and loves to play. He's very grateful for the chance to grow up big and strong with his siblings and foster family. He is the last of his four siblings to find a home and he's the sweetest of all! He loves to play and he loves to cuddle. When you pick him up, you'd swear he has no bones, because he melts completely into your arms and purrs contentedly!On November 10, 2015, Pond was adopted to a lady who lives in Carlisle where he'll have the best time ever. He'll get lots of play and love. Congratulations, Pond! Write often!

Ponder was born about July 1, 2018 and came to us on July 26 from the Cloverdale colony where she, her mom and three siblings were living. There were about 70 cats on site and due to the fact that none was spayed or neutered, this colony was doomed to become larger which could easily mean potential illness, injuries, etc, to all due to less food and shelter to go around. And of course there are always predators to watch out for! It would be a huge miracle just to survive for these little guys. Thankfully, a gentleman was caring for them, but he was very quickly becoming overwhelmed. He asked for help, and we couldn't refuse these little ones. Ponder was fostered by two of our most wonderful foster parents - they've fostered well over 150! Thanks to Bryan and Mandy. They then moved in with another foster family - thanks, Katrina! They (and we) are grateful for the love and care they have received in your home.On November 28, 2018, Ponder and her brother Trance (see below) were adopted by a wonderful family in Salmon Creek. They'll be the new best friends of their humans and friends for their 15-year-old cat. Congratulations to all! Don't forget to send pictures!!

Trance was born about July 1, 2018 and came to us on July 26, 2018 from the Cloverdale colony where he, his mom and three siblings were living. There were about 70 cats on site and due to the fact that none was spayed or neutered, this colony was doomed to become larger each and every day. That means potential illness, injuries, etc, to all due to less food and shelter. It would be a fight just to survive for these little guys. Thankfully, a gentleman was caring for these cats, but he was very quickly becoming overwhelmed. He asked for help, and we couldn't refuse these little ones.Trance was fostered by two of our most helpful foster parents - they've fostered well over 150! Thanks to Bryan and Mandy. Trance and his family then moved in with another foster family - thanks, Katrina!! They are most grateful for the love and care provided to them!On November 28, 2018, Trance and his sister Ponder (see above) were adopted by a very nice family in Salmon Creek where they'll be friends (and entertainment!) for the family and their 15-year-old cat. Congratulations, Everyone!!

Chapin, her sister Burr (see above) and brothers Zephyr and Klein came to us on September 17, 2018 from Cloverdale where they were a part of a colony of approximately 70 cats who were breeding unchecked. Having started from just two cats who had been dropped at this location, their numbers increased exponentially over a very short time. There would soon be no food, little shelter and the harsh winter months would be here all too soon. A gentleman asked for help with spaying and neutering them and finding them new homes. Chapin was born about May 17, 2018 and has been socialized by humans since birth. The majority of her friends and family are feral, so were relocated to warm barns where they will live out their lives in much more safety and comfort. Chapin is extremely playful and friendly. She was spayed, vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for parasites. She's anxious to go to a family soon - she's been dreaming of that for quite some time! She had always hoped her sister Burr could go with her as they are very attached to each other. On November 24, 2018, Chapin received her wish when she and her sister Burr were adopted by a vry nice family in Landsdowne. They will be the new best friend of two young girls who are already in love with them. Congratulations, Chapin and Burr! Send lots of photos!!

Trapp came to us from Beechwood on February 14, 2018 where he had been found in the dooryard of people who could not undertake his care. He was born about February 14, 2016 and was not yet neutered. His injuries consisted of abrasions, multiple cat bite wounds, a bruised hip, right testicle and anus, he had fleas and a bloody nose. He also had abrasions on his right front side and his nails were torn as though he had tried frantically to use his claws to protect or release himself. We're not certain how he sustained his wounds, but it is possible that he had been attacked by another animal and/or had been trapped somewhere from which he tried desperately to escape. Most seriously, he was also diagnosed with a broken bone in his back. Trapp was unable to walk, so he pulled himself around with his front legs. He was also unable to pee on his own, so he had to be expressed several times daily and took medication to help as well. He was prescribed pain medication and antibiotics and underwent kennel rest for several weeks while he healed. Trapp eats a diet of Royal Canin Urinary S/O to ensure urinary problems do not reoccur in the future.As of a couple of months after his arrival, his whole world had changed! He's very happy, purring and loves to be cuddled. He is peeing on his own and he's even able to walk! He loved his "physiotherapy" with his walkers and he loved everyone he met! He made progress in leaps and bounds thanks to the care he received from his best new vet friend at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic. Trapp was very fortunate to have been fostered with Ophelia, a well-loved DunRoamin' cat who has since left us. We miss her dearly. Thanks, Morgan and Alex, for giving them both a loving home. They are very fortunate.On November 24, 2018, we learned that Trapp's family cannot even consider not having him as part of their home and family. He is extremely well loved and as a result was officially adopted on that date. We're so grateful to his new family! Thanks, Morgan and Alex, for everything!! Congratulations, Trapp! Keep sending photos and videos!

Clinger came back to us on May 5, 2018. He originally had come to us on June 15, 2013 from Riverbank where he was abandoned at the door of the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic very late at night. It was cold, windy and pouring rain all night - there was very little shelter available for him. When he was found the next morning, he received his name - he just wanted to cling on for dear life! He was born about December, 2010 and is a real sweetheart.On September 10, 2013, Clinger was adopted by a couple in Lakeville, NB where he lived happily. Unfortunately, due to medical considerations within his family, they were not able to care for him any longer and he returned to us to find a new home. Clinger must eat Hypo-allergenic food as he shows signs of some itchiness. Clinger is a wonderful gentleman who misses the comforts of a human bed. He is exceptionally cuddly and loves to be held, or to just sleep anywhere near a human body! He was named well!On November 18, 2018, Clinger was adopted by a lady in Jacksonville. She had met him a few days previously, he worked his magic on her and she just HAD to come back and make him part of her family. Congratulations, Clinger! Don't forget to write!

Kristy arrived at DunRoamin' on the morning of October 16, 2018 from the Oakland area. She had a very severe injury to her left eye which had probably occurred at least a week before and she was in dire need of medical attention. Her eye appeared to have sustained a puncture wound which had become badly infected and she also had a wound on her left ear. She had obviously suffered before being rescued. She weighed only 2.4 pounds and was born about July 7, 2018.Kristy required her left eye to be removed as it was completely destroyed. She was treated for worms, given intravenous fluids and medication to ease her pain. She underwent surgery to remove her eye on the afternoon of October 16, 2018. Kristy felt SO much better once she was pain-free and healing so very well. She is now happy, playful and affectionate and is hoping for a permanent home where she'll be safe, warm and loved. No more of this outdoor stuff for her - it's not safe out there!!!On November 20, 2018, Kristy was adopted into a home in Burton where she can't wait to experience the love of family. She's more than earned it, is more than deserving of it and is more than excited to receive it! Today is the first day of the rest of your life, Kristy! Yahooooooo! Thanks so much to your wonderful new family!

Elektra came to us on October 17, 2018 from Woodstock where she had come to the home of a couple who could not help her. She was very skinny, had a bilateral eye infection and was missing fur, perhaps due to stress. She had obviously been on her own for a while and needed help. She was born about October 18, 2017.Elektra appears to have been someone's cat at some time as she is exceptionally friendly and loving. She enjoys people and cuddling and is vocal when she wants attention - she's a lap cat! She has been treated for her ailments, and will be spayed, vaccinated and tested for FIV and FeLV, in mid-November, as well as treated for all parasites. Then, she just wants a family - she deserves that!! On November 12, 2018, Elektra met a family with whom she thought she'd like to spend the rest of her life. It was love at first sight for all, and now she lives in Burton with the best home of which she could every dream. Congratulations, Elektra! What a wonderful early Christmas present! Please send us lots of photos!

Samba and his sister Rumba (see below) came to us on September 6, 2018 from Plaster Rock. When a caring supporter realized they needed help, she brought them to us and left a very generous donation to pay for their medical care. Both had fleas, but Samba had a much more serious eye infection that needed help. Because he did not reach medical attention in time, his eye had to be removed on September 7th.Samba was soon feeling much better, now that he was free from pain. One-eyed cats and dogs adapt very well, and he's as cute as you can imagine! He's now purring and happy since he has no pain, lots of food and a warm, safe place to recover. He and his sister Rumba hoped for a home together. They were born about July 6, 2018 and as far as we know, have never been separated. On November 11, 2018, Rumba and Samba were elated to leave for their new home together. They cuddled into the arms of their new family and are ready to be Nova Scotians!! They are excited to be the newest additions to a wonderful family in Beaverbank which also includes DunRoamin's Sampson, cutest dog ever, who also has one eye, so he and Samba have something in common already! Congratulations, everyone!! Sampson

Rumba and her brother Samba (see above) came to us on September 6, 2018 from Plaster Rock. When a caring supporter realized they needed help, she brought them to us and left a very generous donation to pay for their medical care. Both had fleas, but Samba had a much more serious eye infection that needed help. Because he did not reach medical attention in time, his eye had to be removed on September 7th. Rumba was fortunate to not have such a serious medical issue. She had a bad upper respiratory infection which she beat with the help of medication and is now doing perfectly well. She was a little more timid than her brother but was soon doing much better day by day, as she became more secure in her new environment. We'd love for them to remain together. They were born about July 6, 2018 and as far as we know, have never been separated. On November 11, 2018, Rumba and Samba were elated to leave for their new home together. They cuddled into the arms of their new family and are ready to be Nova Scotians!! They are excited to be the newest additions to a wonderful family in Beaverbank which also includes DunRoamin's Sampson! Congratulations, everyone!! Sampson

Jay, "Jenn," "Sam" and "Mandy" came to us on September 7, 2012 when they were left in a box at a local shelter. Unfortunately, due to the large number of strays they were already caring for, the shelter did not have the space or the manpower to help them. They were born about August 1, 2012, had fleas and were really skinny, but seemed to be okay overall. They had no mom, but thankfully were able to eat on their own. They tend to be a little messy about it, but they sure enjoy their food. Jay is a boy, the other three are girls and they're all long-haired and gorgeous.These little ones were too young to survive in a shelter situation, especially without their mom. They needed a really good foster home, and we're very grateful to Heidi and Robert who stepped up to help them while they put on a little weight and get their bearings. On September 27, 2012, Jenn and Sam were officially adopted by their foster family in Florenceville. They are extremely grateful to be able to stay in the first home where people loved and cared for them in such a wonderful manner. Thanks very much to their foster family!

Mosley came to us on August 31, 2018 from Temperance Vale. She was born about August 28, 2008, so was about ten years old. Her owner had to move into assisted living and Mosley had no other alternative and we just couldn't let anything bad happen to her.Mosley had mild cataracts, gingivitis, chronic otitis, moderate tartar on her teeth and masses in both ears which may have required surgery to repair, but great medical care and ear and oral medications made it possible to avoid surgery and she's now perfectly healthy and fine.Mosley was a bit shy in her new foster home since she'd never been away from her home her entire life, but she did better day by day. She was an only pet, so she loved crawling into bed with a human and is a social eater. She would love to have a senior citizen in her life again and may be fine to live with one other cat but she doesn't enjoy a large family of cats. She does not seem disturbed by dogs at all.On November 10, 2018, Mosley met a lady from Fredericton who had seen her on this website and fallen in love. They got along just fine on the day they met and within 24 hours of being in her new home, Mosley pretty much owned it! She's settled in to her permanent new life and is loving every second. Thanks to her new mom for seeking her out and giving her such a wonderful life! Please send lots of photos!

Smooch came to us from Gordonsville on August 27, 2018. She had been found ten days earlier as a stray who had a torn and bloody lip. Her wounds had not healed and her owners were unable to provide required medical care for her. Smooch was born about March 27, 2018 and appeared to be comfortable with other cats, dogs and kids.Smooch was diagnosed with trauma to her mouth and jaw, bleeding in her left ear and she was missing two baby teeth. Her new vet friend replaced her chin and although she may have a slightly droopy lower lip from her injury, she is GORGEOUS!Smooch was much more ill than she first displayed. Tests showed that her blood was seriously out of whack and she required two blood transfusions from a dog - thanks, Wolf. This puts her in excellent company with four other kittens who required this same assistance - Cardi, Chickadee, Ecole and Vera.Smooch is undergoing care at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic. It appears she's going to be just fine now, thanks to all the medical attention she received! She'll be spayed, vaccinated and treated for all parasites, as are all DunRoamin' cats. She tested negative for both FIV and FeLV. She hopes for a home where she can live a safe indoor life. She's already had enough excitement for a lifetime and she's barely even five months old! On November 6, 2018, Smooch was adopted by a young couple from Belleville. She will be a friend for a bunny and dog, as well as her new humans who are head over heels in love with her! She is very grateful to know she now has a permanent loving family! Congratulations, Smooch!

Brennan came to us on August 31, 2018 from Johnville where he had been found in a potato barn along with two kittens. The kittens had parasites and were not vaccinated, spayed or neutered. Their rescuers ensured that those things would be taken care of for them, as they appeared healthy and did not fit our mandate..Brennan, however, was a different story. Born about November 31, 2017, he was only about nine months old and was very thin (only 6.25 pounds) and had lots of fleas - not comfortable at all! But his main problem was his left hind leg. X-rays revealed that his knee was dislocated which caused him pain. It was also infected. On October 17, 2018, Brennan underwent surgery to remove his left hind leg as the cartilege was badly damaged. He's perfectly fine now, though!Brennan was placed on medication to make him comfortable and has had the best of medical care for his knee. He's a very nice boy who is grateful for the food, friends and warm, soft bed. He appears to be a social eater, so we'll make sure he has lots of company to make sure he puts on the weight he should. He is very friendly and loves to be patted - perhaps he belonged to someone at some time? He has been neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV and FeLV. He's looking forward to a family who will keep him safe and love him for the rest of his life! We hope his dream might come true really soon! On November 5, 2018, Brennan's dream DID come true when a DunRoamin' friend came to meet him. She was very impressed with his personality and attitude and just knew he'd be the perfect match for her home which includes our Brawl! Congratulations, Brennan! Hi, Brawl!!

Brenna came to us on November 22, 2017 from Beechwood, NB along with her six kittens. She had originally come to Beechwood with two kittens from a previous litter, but she was not spayed and soon had another litter of six for whom no one could care. She was born about November 22, 2016.Her kittens were born about October 31, 2017 and we've named them Coraline, Keera, Tarot, Kellas, Noir and Coal. All were healthy. They just needed a safe place to be and they definitely needed to be spayed and neutered to ensure they didn't contribute to the cycle of an ever-increasing number of unwanted and/or uncared-for cats, as had been Brenna's fate. We'd like to thank the young lady who fostered Brenna and her family of babies - we are grateful for the love and care they have learned! Brenna is a beautiful pewter gray and she is slightly cross-eyed. She is gorgeous and has a wonderful, loving personality. She is fully vaccinated and spayed and eager to go to a loving home.On January 14, 2018, that's exactly what happened. A very nice couple from New Bandon, NB, drove all the way to meet her. She quieted immediately and settled comfortably into each of their arms in turn and we all knew this is exactly where she wants to be for the rest of her life. She will have one other cat friend and the best family ever. Congratulations, Brenna!

Seuss came to us on May 26, 2018 from the Tobique area where he had been found on the road all alone late the previous night. He couldn't walk and several injuries on his back end were immediately discernible. He was brought for help, which he needed badly.Seuss was born about May 26, 2017. His injuries appeared to be at least three weeks old and they consisted of road rash and muscle wasting in his hind end. He had been dragging himself around with his front legs as he had numerous injuries on his hind legs, perhaps as a result of an altercation with a vehicle. X-rays revealed no broken bones, fortunately - he's been through enough! His injury was consistent with having had his tail jerked. Seuss required subcutaneous fluids to help him rehydrate.Seuss was unable to urinate easily and his bladder was huge. A catheter relieved him of this discomfort and he had to be expressed while his bladder healed from the trauma and stretching. He has obviously been someone's cat because he is familiar and comfortable with people and he was happy to know that he was now safe and cared for. He received the very best of medical care including appropriate medications to help him heal and he was soon eating like he hadn't had a meal in years! He is able to pass urine on his own for the most part but he does not appear to have any control of his hind legs. Seuss is now neutered and completely up to date on his vaccines. He's a beautiful, extremely affectionate boy who rolls over immediately if you'll rub his belly. He LOVES humans!On October 26, 2018, he was adopted by his loving family in Riverbank where he'll have the best care possible. Congratulations, Seuss. You are loved and will be cared for by the very best.

Malcolm came to us on August 22, 2018 from the Hartland Golf Course with his mom and three sisters. His mom was trying to survive by scrounging for food for her babies. It's not a safe place with all the vehicles and wild animals in the area and Malcolm is grateful to be in a nice, warm, safe and loving foster home with his family. He dreams of his own human family one day soon. Malcolm was born about July 4, 2008. He is a very cute and sweet little guy who loves people and is always seeking out attention. He loves to sleep in boxes, and the spin mop pail is a great place to nap! He was fully vaccinated, neutered, treated for all parasites and tested for FIV/FeLV so that he has the very best chance at a good and safe life! On October 19, 2018, Malcolm's favourite day of his life finally arrived: he gets to go home with his very OWN FAMILY! He's so EXCITED! He now lives in Beardsley, NB with his new family and GUESS WHAT?? His sister Ombrea (see below) was invited too! Within no time they were settled and content - just look at their photos!! Congratulation!! Thanks, Bridget, for taking them in and for everything else you've done to help these little ones. We really appreciate it!

Ombrea came to us on August 22, 2018 from the Hartland Golf Course where her mom was trying to feed her and her three siblings by scrounging for food. It's not a safe place with all the vehicles and wild animals in the area and Ombrea is grateful to be in a nice, warm, safe and loving foster home. She dreams of her own family one day soon.Ombrea was born about July 4, 2008. She is very feisty and playful and is very friendly and loving. She was fully vaccinated, spayed, treated for all parasites and tested for FIV/FeLV , so she has the very best chance at a good and safe life! On October 19, 2018, Ombrea's dream came true. She was adopted by a very nice family in Beardsley where she'll have another cat friend, three young children, and her brother Malcolm (see above) is going with her! Congratulations! Thanks to their new family - you're awesome!

Aspen originally came to us on August 10, 2018 from Upper Brighton where she was a stray who had been observed to have an injured eye. She was born about June 10, 2018. Due to her eye injury, it was necessary to have her right eye removed. All aspects of her health were rectified, she was spayed, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites before being adopted to a gentleman who loved her dearly. On September 29, 2023, a very nice couple from East Centreville noticed a cat hanging around their home and identified her as Aspen from her adoption photo on our website. She had been taking shelter in the culvert in their driveway and they were providing food for her, but they were worried that she might be struck by a vehicle. It was later learned that her original owner had passed away and her story from there is unknown, but she is very fortunate that this couple noticed her, took an interest and provided assistance. Aspen was returned to DunRoamin' where she was immediately examined by her new vet, treated for all parasites, tested for FIV and FeLV and her vaccines were brought up to date. It was learned that she was overweight, had some parasites and some chin acne, but she is now going to be just fine! On September 29, 2023, Aspen was extremely fortunate to have her rescuers officially adopt her so that she would have a safe and permanent home again. Congratulations, Aspen! You'll have a wonderful family for the rest of your life!! Aspen is already very content to sit on her rescuer's lap and express her gratitude and contentment every day! We thank them for recognizing this little girl, looking out for her and ensuring that she will have the life and love she deserves.

Churchill returned to us on July 14, 2018. He originally came to us on August 1, 2014 from Perth-Andover where he had sustained a tail injury and his family was unable to care for him. Due to the nature of the injury, his tail had to be amputated, but he's just fine! As a matter of fact, he's pretty much perfect!! He was born about August 1, 2012. In December, 2014, Churchill was adopted by a very nice gentleman from Sussex, and he lived happily with his friends Moe and Curly. Unfortunately, the gentleman's job took him away from home for four days a week and he feared Churchill, Moe and Curly missed human company. He reluctantly returned them to ensure they would get a home where more human companionship might be available.Churchill is overweight, but this will soon be rectified with diet and lots of exercise. Churchill is doing well in his new environment. He is friendly, affectionate and loving. He gets along with all his new feline friends and is hoping to get the opportunity to live in a home again.On October 12, 2018, Churchill was happy to learn that he had been chosen as the newest addition to a young family in Centreville where he'll be the new best friend of two young boys. Congratulations, Churchill! Stay in touch!!

Moe and "Curly" returned to us on July 14, 2018. They originally came to us on August 22, 2011 from Woodstock where they had been found all alone behind a bar by the town police. They were born about June 1, 2011. They were not even three months old and had no one to care for them. They had a large number of fleas, ear mites and worms. Curly has beautiful blue eyes and otherwise looks very much like his brother, Moe, who has green eyes. Curly and Moe were adopted by a very nice gentleman from Sussex on December 2, 2014, where they lived happily, but unfortunately the gentleman's employment eventually kept him away from home for four days each week and he realized that his friends were missing human company. He reluctantly returned them to us to find them a loving home where they might receive more attention.Curly and Moe were initially timid due to the change in their circumstances and living arrangements, but they soon settled in perfectly. They are very laid-back, loving, attentive and affectionate cats who can't wait to live with a family once again.On October 12, 2018, Moe and Curly were ecstatic to learn that they had been chosen by a family in Florenceville to be their newest additions. They now live with Caruso, another ex-DunRoamin' cat. Congratulations, boys!

Tovah came to us on May 6, 2018 from Glassville where she was one of several cats who occupied a colony in the area. Although people were trying to help, some cats were not in good shape. Tovah was one of 19 whom we spayed and neutered to help keep their numbers from climbing, which would have added to their illnesses, injuries and lack of care. Tovah was born about May 7, 2013 and was very scared. She was to be spayed on this day, but she unexpectedly gave birth to four kittens: Bonsai, Jakoba, Rhubarb and May. Unfortunately, little May survived less than 24 hours, despite all medical assistance provided. Please read about her on our Pet Memorials page. Several other kittens and cats at this location also did not survive and the remainder desperately needed help, which they received from DunRoamin' volunteers and supporters. All 19 from this colony were spayed or neutered and we accepted seven (Tovah, Bonsai, Jakoba, Rhubarb, Gordo, Splinter and Kix) as wards of DunRoamin' as there was no other feasible alternative for them.Tovah was initially very scared, but thanks to her foster mother slowly came around to accepting pats and friendship. Thanks to her foster mom for putting such time, effort, compassion, love and dedication into this family of cats who would have otherwise most probably have succumbed to similar terrible fates of some of the others. We're confident everyone will be fine now.On October 11, 2018, Tovah was happy and relieved to learn that she will never have to leave her foster home. Her foster mom would like her to stay as a permanent member. Thanks so much - she'll be just fine now! Congratulations, Tovah!

Lainey came to us on July 17, 2018 from Cloverdale where she was a member of a colony of cats who numbered approximately 70. A kind gentleman was trying to care for them, but it was a huge undertaking. Because they were not spayed or neutered, their numbers continued to increase exponentially. Lainey and her siblings Charlene, Carter and Walker (see above and below) were born about April 17, 2018.Lainey is the second most friendly of her siblings (behind Carter) and is known in her foster home as Miss Personality. She is very friendly and vocal. She loves to play and loves to cuddle just as much. She likes dogs and cats and greets all of her foster siblings with a nose rub every morning. If she wants something, she'll certainly let you know! She is definitely a sweetheart who would like to be adopted with a sibling or at least into a home with other pets.On October 5, 2018, she and her sister Walker (see below) were adopted by a very nice family in Centreville where they'll be new friends for a young boy. Congratulations, Lainey! We hope to hear from you very soon!

Walker came to us on July 17, 2018 from Cloverdale where she was a member of a colony of cats who numbered approximately 70. A kind gentleman was trying to care for them, but it was a huge undertaking. Because they were not spayed or neutered, their numbers continued to increase exponentially. Walker and her siblings Charlene, Carter and Lainey (see above) were born about April 17, 2018.Walker was originally very nervous, but with Temptations and canned food, she was soon able to be bribed into tolerance! She's still a bit shy, but is coming out of her shell more and more every day. She likes dogs, other cats and her toy balls! She has a mischievous side and often looks like she got caught with her paw in the cookie jar! She loves other cats and dogs and also loves to greet her foster siblings with nose kisses each morning. She's very busy, but if you can catch her, she's a cuddler and will purr all day! She is just learning to meow and has a very throaty voice for such a little one!On October 5, 2018, Wlaker and her sister Lainey (see above) were adopted by a very nice family in Centreville where they'll have the life of which they've always dreamed. Thank you so much! Please write soon!

Anastasia came to us on April 24, 2018 from Wakefield where she had been found on the side of the road the previous evening. Attempts to locate her owner in the area failed. As allergies were a concern, she couldn't stay with the people who found her. Anastasia was pregnant, had ear mites and moderate dental disease which resulted in the fact that she has lost several teeth and needed several teeth removed.Anastasia was born about April 24, 2010, so has been around for a while. She is very comfortable in a home environment and loves people, so it is quite possible that she was a house cat before she lived outdoors on her own. Anastasia was spayed on April 30 but her vet has recommended that she not be vaccinated at this time as she has had some health issues, but is much better now. She tested negative for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus and Feline Leukemia Virus. She will be happy to go to a loving home in the very near future. She is calm, quiet, attentive and affectionate - she hopes to live in a quiet, no-stress home where people love company, because she'll always want to be where her humans are (preferably on their lap!) On October 3, 2018, Anastasia won the heart of a lady from Perth-Andover. She will live with several other pets, including ex-DunRoamin' friends. Congratulations, Anastasia, you hit the jackpot! Send lots of photos!!

Davis came to DunRoamin' on July 20, 2018 from Woodstock where it was reported he was very ill and required medical assistance. He had apparently been left behind by tenants who had moved from the building - not cool! A compassionate supporter travelled to Woodstock to pick him up and he was examined by his new vet which produced the following information: Davis was born about July 20, 2015. Although he had ear mites, a mild eye infection, was dehydrated and had tartar on his teeth, he was otherwise healthy.Davis is a friendly and loving boy who deserves more than abandonment. He has already been neutered and fully vaccinated. He's ready for a home and he definitely deserves one! He is a beautiful, friendly little boy and he's endeared himself to all of us in the short time he's been here. On September 28, 2018, Davis was adopted into a home in Lower Brighton. Congratulations, Davis! Please stay in touch!

Mozart came to DunRoamin' on July 18, 2018 from the Hartland area where he had been found in a yard all alone. No one was able to take responsibility for him and he was just a baby, born about May 14, 2018, with no one to keep him safe from vehicles, predators and so many other dangers out there for a little kitten. He had ear mites, was hungry and thirsty, but was otherwise healthy. Mozart was neutered and vaccinated and is eager to go to a home where he will be loved and cared for. He is a typical high-energy little guy who loves people. He is familiar with dogs and other cats and likes them all. He was fostered by a young lady who was broken under his spell, so . . .As of September 22, 2018, Mozart is now a full-fledged, card-carrying, fuzzy, happy, grateful, purring, full-time, permanent member of his foster family. He's IN!!!! Yahooo! Way to go, Mozart! You've got it made now! Congratulations!!

Motor came to us on August 6, 2018 from Greenfield where he had wandered into a back yard. The people who found him were unable to care for him and he appeared to require medical help.Motor was examined by his new best vet friend and the following was learned: he had conjunctivitis, upper respiratory infection, was mildly dehydrated and had ear mites. He was happy to accept food, water and a warm soft bed, and his motor roared to attest to the pleasure and contentment he felt as a result of the care he was receiving.Motor appears to have been born about April 9, 2018 and weighed less than three-and-a-half pounds. He's gaining quickly with the food, medication and care he's getting! He is very appreciative of his new home and friends. He will start his vaccines and be neutered in early September, so he can't wait for a new home. He's very lively, happy, playful, energetic - he feels SO much better already.On September 22, 2018, Motor was adopted by a young couple in Fredericton where he'll be loved forever! He's a very fortunate little boy. Send photos, Motor!!

Caruso came to us on May 25, 2018 from the Perth-Andover area where he was a stray whom people had been feeding for about a week. He had a tail injury which they were unable to address, so Caruso came to us for help. Caruso was born about May 25, 2012.Caruso's tail injury appeared to be the result of a bite wound from another animal and it was badly infected, so he required antibiotics to combat the infection. He was soon fine and is now neutered, fully vaccinated and tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.Caruso is a very nice boy who has obviously been around people before. He had mild tartar on his teeth and a chipped fang, but was otherwise healthy! Caruso loves to stick his tongue out and he's extremely cute when he does that! He is more than affectionate with humans and gets along very well with other cats. He loves attention, loves to play and is the first one to greet you when you come through the door. He absolutely loves people! On September 20, 2018, Caruso was adopted by a family in Oakland who promises him nothing but the best in life for the remainder of his days. Congratulations, Caruso. Send us lots of photos and tell us how your life is going! We can't wait to hear all the good news!

Verna came to us on July 26, 2018 from Cloverdale where she was one of a colony of approximately 70 cats. A kind gentleman was trying to care for them, but it was a huge undertaking. Because they were not spayed or neutered, their numbers continued to increase exponentially and food and shelter were becoming increasingly hard to come by. Fortunately, a gentleman was trying to care for them, but due to large and growing numbers, he was overwhelmed. He asked for our help and thanks to friends like the Oromocto SPCA who were willing to help, those who offered to accept feral cats as barn cats and those who fostered kittens which we accepted, all will have a better life.Verna was born about August 1, 2016. She is timid but she's a very good mom. Thanks to Mandy and Bryan for fostering her and her kiddens. She is now in a foster home in Stickney where she and her babies enjoy the attention of another wonderful foster family. Thanks, Katrina!On September 20, 2018, Verna returned to a barn setting where she will be cared for as she was much too scared to become a house cat. She has been spayed, vaccinated and will have the best of care in a barn setting where she will be much more comfortable and content. Congratulations, Verna. No more litters and a much better life is in front of you! Thanks to all who have helped her by contributing to her care in so many ways.

Carter came to us on July 17, 2018 from Cloverdale where he was a member of a colony of cats who numbered approximately 70. A kind gentleman was trying to care for them, but it was a huge undertaking. Because they were not spayed or neutered, their numbers continued to increase exponentially. Carter and his siblings Charlene, Lainey and Walker (see above and below) were born about April 17, 2018.Carter is not shy at all. He rules the roost and is the most friendly. He loves other cats and has fallen in love with the family dog who loves him right back! He's made himself at home and he's not sure he ever wants to leave!On September 7, 2018, Carter, now known as Knightly, was adopted by his foster mother. He had endeared himself to the entire family (including the four-legged ones) and couldn't picture himself ever leaving, so he's got his forever home! Thanks to his family for fostering him and his siblings! Congratulations, Carter!!

Ryan came to us on the evening of June 11, 2018 from Johnville where he had been missing for several days. Upon his return home, it was observed that he was injured. Examination by his new vet revealed that he had been shot through his right front elbow. His radius and ulna had multiple compound fractures and numerous bone fragments were displayed on his x-ray. He had a small entry wound on the front of his leg and a large exit wound on the back - most likely made by a .22 calibre weapon. Part of the bone of his elbow was exposed. His owners were unable to take on his care.Ryan's leg was not salvageable, so he underwent surgery on June 12, 2018 to remove it. He is a beautiful boy who was born about June 11, 2013, so he has many good years ahead of him. He hopes for a home - his recovery is now complete! He is a very nice boy who has been quiet and affectionate with us - he seemed to understand he was being helped, and he shows his gratitude every day with head butts and purrs. He is doing very well after his surgery and his vaccines are completedly up to date. Ryan has the distinction of being the 100th stray accepted by DunRoamin' in 2018. Donations to help with his care are welcome at Canada Helps.On August 31, 2018, Ryan was adopted by a lady from Gordonsville where he'll be her new best friend. She met him, fell in love and couldn't get him out of her mind . . . er, her heart. We think she never will! Congratulations, Ryan! Send us photos and tell us all about your new home and family! PS: Coincidentally, Ryan was the 100th stray accepted by DunRoamin' in 2018 and the 100th cat adopted out in 2018 as well! Way to go, Ryan!!!

Amazon and his sisters "Ikea" and Etsy came to us on April 23, 2018 from Glassville wherethey were found in the bottom of a potato barrel. No mom was present and they were cold, dehydrated and hungry. His mom was part of a feral colony, but it appeared she had not been present for at least several hours and these kittens needed help. Thanks to the compassion of a kind supporter, they were able to receive all the care they required to survive and flourish. Amazon, Ikea and Etsy were born about April 1, 2018, so were barely three weeks old. Thanks to the efforts of a kind vet tech, they were soon safe, warm and content. They had to be fed by bottle every few hours and stimulated to pee and poop every few hours as well, until they were old enough to take care of themselves. Thanks to this vet tech, they now have the chance to do just that. Etsy was adopted on June 15, 2018. Amazon and Ikea were very attached to each other, so we hoped they could find a home together. Amazon is very laid back and affectionate while Ikea is a little more reserved and would like to stay with the security of her brother.On August 27, 2018, that's exactly what happened when a kind lady from Upper Woodstock met them and fell in love with both. They now live with her where they'll have the run of the house, have many large windows to watch the birds and lots of warm soft beds to sleep on. They'll keep their new mom happy and entertained - they promise! Congratulations to all! Please write soon!

They had to be fed by bottle every few hours and stimulated to pee and poop every few hours as well, until they were old enough to take care of themselves. Thanks to this vet tech, they now have the chance to do just that. Etsy was adopted on June 15, 2018. Amazon and Ikea were very attached to each other, so we hoped they could find a home together. Amazon is very laid back and affectionate while Ikea is a little more reserved and would like to stay with the security of her brother.On August 27, 2018, that's exactly what happened when a kind lady from Upper Woodstock met them and fell in love with both. They now live with her where they'll have the run of the house, have many large windows to watch the birds and lots of warm soft beds to sleep on. They'll keep their new mom happy and entertained - they promise! Congratulations to all! Please write soon!

Dent and his sister Scratch (see above) and mom Sylvenia came to us on July 17, 2018 from Cloverdale where they were part of a colony of approximately 70 cats who were being cared for by two gentlemen who did their best to feed and provide shelter for them. As their numbers grew, they knew they needed help in spaying and neutering them and finding them new homes.Dent was born about June 19, 2018. He, his mom and sister were fostered by an extremely compassionate and dedicated couple who have fostered more than 125 of our cats and kittens! That's dedication! Thank you SO much!On August 19, 2018, a lady from Fredericton met Dent and fell in love with him, as well as his sister Scratch. We're glad they get to stay together. It took them no time to take over the entire household, and they're so happy to have their new home and family for the rest of their lives. Congratulations! Your whole life is going to be SOOOOO wonderful!

Garreth returned to us on April 4, 2018 from Fredericton where he had been adopted in 2014. He had originally come to us in 2013 when he was abandoned in a box at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic. He was adopted in 2014, but had to be returned due to allergies in his family.Garreth was initially very scared, but was doing well after only a few days. He was already neutered, has received all his vaccines and has been treated for parasites and tested for FIV and FeLV. He is ready for a new home and he's anxious to get back into a family situation. He's a very nice boy and he's hoping to meet his new family very soon. Garreth was born about June 15, 2013.On August 8, 2018, Garreth was invited to join the family of a young man in Fredericton where he'll be spoiled rotten and have the life he's been dreaming of. We'll miss you, Garreth. Please write often and keep your best friend Sarah up to date on how you're doing!

Talon came to us on July 26, 2018 from Cloverdale where he was a member of a colony of cats who numbered approximately 70. A kind gentleman was trying to care for them, but it was a huge undertaking, and food and shelter were a huge concern. Because they were not spayed or neutered, their numbers continued to increase exponentially. Talon, born about July 26, 2016, had an ulcer on his eye which required medical care, so he was accepted by DunRoamin'. Talon's eye was cared for, he was neutered, vaccinated, tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus and soon was healthy and ready to go home. On August 2, 2018, Talon returned to his home in Cloverdale where he will be cared for by his previous owner, but will no longer contribute to the large numbers who once roamed there. Thanks to all who contributed financially, by fostering or by accepting spayed/neutered/vaccinated cats into their barns to ensure this colony would no longer continue to grow. Thanks also to the gentleman who has cared for such a large number of cats to ensure they were as safe and healthy as possible. They have now begun safe, healthy new lives.

Harpo and "Georgina" came to us from a colony of cats in Cloverdale on July 25, 2018. Both females, Harpo was born about April 17, 2018 and Georgina was born about March 25, 2018. Other than having ear mites, they were healthy, thanks to the gentleman who was attempting to keep them warm, safe and fed. Unfortunately, there were approximately 70 cats in this colony and he needed help to care for them.Harpo and Georgina were timid but are young, so will acclimatize easily, especially once they get to a warm, safe loving home.On August 2, 2018, Harpo and Georgina went to the Oromocto SPCA where they will find a home and family. Thanks to the Oromocto SPCA for helping with this huge colony! These cats and kittens are very fortunate to have such dedication, resources and support for assistance!

Lotus returned to us from Keswick Ridge, NB, on June 9, 2018 where she had been adopted in April 2018, along with another cat named Chyler. Lotus originally came to us from Bath where she was the mom of five little kittens who were born in a box in the rafters of a garage during the cold winter month of November, 2017. Lotus lived with us until she was adopted on April 3, 2018, but she decided that she would bully her new timid friend, so she returned to us to find a home with a less timid cat. Lotus is a very nice girl who lives with several other cats of varying ages. We hope she'll find a home soon where she will either be an only cat who gets all the attention she could ever desire or that she has a feline sibling or two who are not of a timid personality. She is a very nice little girl with a sense of humour and lots of energy. On July 8, 2018, Lotus went to be a foster kitty for a nice young couple in Fredericton, but it didn't work out because . . .. . . on July 26, 2018, we were informed that Lotus had decided to become a permanent family member! She now shares her home with this couple and a three-legged DunRoamin' cat named Agnogg! Congratulations to the entire family! Thank you for all your support of DunRoamin' and for giving these two cats a most perfect home!

Brawl came to us on May 26, 2018 from the Newbridge area where he was found on the road the night before. Brawl had a large and infected wound on his neck, all four feet were torn and infected, his legs were in rough shape and he was dehydrated and very hungry. Brawl was born about May 26, 2014. He appeared to be very nice, kind and affectionate - but his personality came out much stronger once he felt better.Brawl was sedated, shaved, his wounds cleaned and irrigated and he was given medication to help his body heal. He was grateful for the care and warm bed and he was especially grateful for the medical attention. He has been in this shape for what appears may have been months. He has a wonderful personality and received every form of assistance we could provide.Thanks to the staff of the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic for being there for him when he most needed the help. Brawl and all his friends are grateful for the support and we're grateful to be able to help these little ones. Brawl has shown his gratitude by being a loving, purring, headbutting little furball who is more than affectionate and can't wait to have a home where he'd be safe, loved and cared for for the rest of his life!On July 23, 2018, Brawl's wish came true when he was adopted by a young lady from Fredericton. He'll have the best of care and will give the best of himself in return. Congratulations, Brawl. Your new world starts today. Please don't forget to send pictures and tell us how your new life is going!

Merrick came to us on the morning of June 7, 2018 after having been found all alone on the highway between Hartland and Woodstock. He was born about April 19, 2018 so was still a tiny baby. No one was able to take care of him.Merrick is a cute little boy who had some parasites and was quite timid, but with a little help and good nutrition he was soon doing well.

Oban returned to us on May 7, 2018. He had originally come to us on August 18, 2017 from the Perth-Andover area where he was one of eight kittens who had been born to two unspayed mothers. Three kittens had already passed away, so Oban and his family and friends were fortunate to receive help. Oban was born about August 2, 2017, so was only about two weeks old. All kittens had fleas and were anemic. Oban would like to encourage all pet owners to spay and neuter their pets so that these circumstances don't continue to occur.Oban was fostered by a wonderful and caring supporter and soon became healthy with the love and medical care he received. On October 25, 2017, he was adopted by a family in Maplehurst. Unfortunately, Oban began to pee inappropriately, so was returned to us. He was seen by his favourite vet who prescribed some medication and he's been fine ever since!Oban has personality plus! And he loves people! He only wants to be where there are friendly, loving humans! They're his favourite thing in the world, and he's happy to be fostered in a loving home while he awaits a permanent family. On July 11, 2018, we learned that Oban was no longer a foster kitty. He has made himself such an intricate part of the family that they couldn't dream of not having him permanently! Oban now lives in Meductic with two other DunRoamin' cats, Boone and Blizzard. Congratulations, everyone! Thanks so much, Monique!!

Melanie and her four babies Emmy, Katie, Leigh and Correen came to DunRoamin' on March 2, 2018 from Oakland where they and several other unspayed and unneutered adult cats were living. Melanie's friend Mayella and her babies also came to us on the same day. Melanie was born about March 2, 2016. Her babies were all daughters.Melanie is a beautiful little girl who is exceptionally affectionate and a very loving mom. She was healthy overall but had a scar on the cornea of her left eye. She has a unique purr in that it is very loud and can be heard from a great distance - anyone remember Aurele and his purr?? Very similar!! And she purrs a lot! Melanie cared for her babies in a foster home where they all received the best of food, love and medical attention. We thank her foster mom for all her support! Melanie moved back with us at DunRoamin' and was spayed, vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and ready for a nice, quiet home of her very own. She is very affectionate, loving and kind. If you're looking for that kind of a companion and family member, she's your girl!On July 11, 2018, Melanie met a lady from Fredericton Junction who has a beautiful home that she wanted to share. She chose Emmy and Leigh (see below), the last of Melanie's kittens to be adopted, AND . . . she chose Melanie so she could remain with her babies! Congratulations, everyone! Thanks, Emily! Please drop a line soon!!

Emmy and her sister "Leigh" came to us from Oakland on March 2, 2018, along with their mom Melanie (see above) and their other siblings Katie and Correen who have since been adoapted. They were part of a large number of cats who had been dropped at a home. The people in the home were trying to care for them, but kittens were being born way too often as they were not spayed or neutered and the household was soon overwhelmed. All other adult cats will be spayed or neutered under our Spay/Neuter Assistance Program to ensure other kittens are not born into a world in which too many already do not have homes.Emmy and Leigh are both sweet little kittens. They were born about February 6, 2018 and weighed only one pound and one ounce upon their arrival with us. They are virtually indistinguishable - twins!! They had an upper respiratory infection, but they received great vet care and are now perfectly fine. They are ready for a home and family and they can hardly wait! We'd like to thank the vet tech who fostered them - they're very lucky little kittens! Emmy and Leigh would like to be adopted together they are very attached to each other and are very hard to tell apart - they're almost identical! Emmy wears a collar so she can be easily distinguishable from her sister. They love to romp, play, cuddle and sleep together and they're very attentive to humans - they had the best upbringing so they know that humans offer nothing but love, play and affection! On July 11, 2018, they received the best gift possible. They were adopted to a wonderful lady and her husband in Fredericton Junction, and to sweeten the pot even MORE, their mom, Melanie (see above) got to go with them! That is WONDERFUL! Thanks, Emily! We are so grateful! We can't wait to see photos with their new family!!

Rocco came to us on March 9, 2018 from Holmesville where he was a stray who had sought refuge in some rolled-up carpet in the rafters of a building which had no door, so it was definitely not warm. He had been observed eating bird food from underneath a feeder, so he was really hungry. Rocco was born about March 15, 2013. Rocco was cold, hungry and scared. He was slowly tempted toward the warmth of a house, but unfortunately this home was already full to the brim with rescued cats. Rocco was slightly timid, but warmed up to humans very quickly once he realized he'd be warm, fed and safe for life. As with all DunRoamin' cats, he is fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites. He was already neutered when he arrived. Rocco is the first to come greet us and he LOVES people of all ages. He's got it made now - everything except a permanent loving family. Please come meet him - you'll fall in love!On July 4, 2018, Rocco was very happy to be chosen as a new friend for a family in Florenceville where he'll be a friend for one other cat and a dog. Congratulations, Rocco! Don't forget to write!!

Abilene came to us from the Bristol area on April 24, 2018. She was born about March 9, 2018, so was only about seven weeks old. She had been found on the side of a road where another kitten , probably a sibling, had already been struck and killed by a vehicle.Abilene had an ulcer on her left eye which was cared for and has healed very well. She also had an upper respiratory infection (cold) that was treated as well. She is happy to be warm and safe and she particularly loves the fact that there seems to be an unending supply of food here - she's happy to put on a little weight. She'd like to look and feel her best when she goes to her new home. She is very energetic, playful and happy - who wouldn't be, now that she has everything of which she'd ever dreamed! She'll go live with her new family as soon as her vaccines are up to date! She can't wait! Neither can they!On June 24, 2018, her new family drove all the way from Saint John to pick her up and we're not sure who was more excited - her or them!!! We look forward to seeing lots of photos and hearing how well you're doing in your new home. Write soon, Abilene!

Valentino came to us on February 14, 2018 from Bath where he had been found on a doorstep several weeks earlier.

He also had fleas and ear mites which were treated. He was born about February 14, 2015.Valentino is very well named. He is definitely a lover and the Valentine holiday is his favourite. His most favourite thing ever is to be cuddled and have his head rubbed! If you're looking for a cuddle cat, he's definitely your boy!!

Dyson and her sister Gentry came to us from the NBSPCA from the Grand Falls area on April 20, 2018, where they had allegedly been abused. They were born about June 1, 2017 and were both healthy, but had no home or family to care for them. Shelters had been approached, but none had space for them. Their options were extremely limited and we could not allow anything bad to happen to them. They were still so young and had not yet had the opportunity to experience the love of a caring family - everyone should experience that! They were born about June 1, 2017.Dyson and Gentry are very affectionate little girls. They look very much alike except that Gentry has more white on her chest and has white paws. They are a beautiful tan/grey colour and they're both very quiet and especially loving. They would like to have a home together, please, where they'd always be safe and loved.Dyson and Gentry were proud to be part of Carleton North Senior High School's exam weeks from June 4 - 15, 2018, where they spread their love to students while they underwent examinations. They had a wonderful time and would like to say, "Thanks for having us!"On June 19, 2018, Dyson and Gentry were adopted by a family in Grafton. We're so happy they get to stay together! Congratulations, little ones! Please send lots of photos and let us know all about your new family!

Fozzie and his sister "Kermit" came to us on April 28, 2018 from Stickney where they were found in a barn a couple of weeks previously. They were not eating well and therefore were not thriving and needed help. Thanks to a vet tech friend, they soon got all the help they needed. Fozzie and Kermit were born about March 28, 2018. They received fluids and antibiotics to help them get better, and as of April 28, they were both sick but stable under medical care. They continued to do well under the watchful and caring eye of a vet tech and they soon were both out of the woods. Since they'd never been separated and were so attached to each other, they'd love to stay together.On June 15, 2018, Fozzie and Kermit were adopted to a home in Woodstock where they'll have two other cat friends, including Oasis, a former DunRoamin' stray. Congratulations to all! Write soon, and send lots of photos!!

Mayella and her three babies, Catticus Finch, Jem and Radley (all adopted), came to us on March 2, 2018 from Oakland, NB, where she and her babies were part of a large number of unspayed and unneutered cats who were living together. Mayella's friend, Melanie and her four babies also came to us this same day. We will help the remaining cats become spayed or neutered under our D-SNAP (DunRoamin' Spay/Neuter Assistance Program) so that many more kittens are not born to a place where there are already numerous homeless cats.

Faux Paw came to us on May 28, 2018 from the Woodstock area. She had originally been found with a plastic bag tangled around her left hind leg and, unfortunately, it had caused such damage that her leg required amputation. She was born about April 1, 2018 so was barely eight weeks old - just a baby. That's a pretty rough start for such a tiny little one.Faux Paw underwent surgery to remove her leg on May 29, 2018, and with her wonderful outlook on life, she's doing great. She is otherwise healthy and happy - she's very playful and loving as well.

Toad came to us on February 27, 2018 from Perth-Andover. One of several kittens born about February 13, 2018, Toad had such a large number of fleas that they had depleted the majority of his blood. Toad was the only survivor and he required serious medical intervention to save his life. He was fortunate to have been brought to us for help, as the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic is now very experienced at blood transfusions for baby kittens - Toad is the fourth kitten since July, 2017, to undergo five transfusions of blood from a dog to attempt to save their lives. Of the previous three, only one did not survive - Vera. You can read about her on our Pet Memorials page. Cardi and Ecole are both very healthy and now live in wonderful permanent homes.As of March 7, 2018, Toad was doing very well. He was eating, playing and displaying cuteness on a very grand scale! He was fostered by a vet tech to ensure he got any and all round-the-clock care he required, but it looks like he's out of the woods! Thanks, Jayme! Toad has a small umbilical hernia which was easily fixed when he underwent his neuter.On May 12, 2018, Toad met his new mother and father for the first time. They had anxiously been awaiting that day when he'd be ready to go home, and this was the perfect, beautiful, sunny day for that to happen! Toad now lives in New Bandon, NB, with Brenna, his new best cat friend who was adopted in January, 2018, as well as some canine brothers and his best new human friends. Congratulations on your wonderful new family, Toad. Please write often! Brenna

Catticus Finch came to us on March 2, 2018 from Oakland where he, his mom and siblings were living in a place with numerous other cats. Catticus Finch and his siblings had upper respiratory infections which could potentially be devastating to their health, but they were examined by their new vet and given all recommended treatments to ensure they are well again very soon.Catticus and his siblings Jem and Radley were born about February 20, 2018 and their eyes were just barely starting to open. They're grateful to be in a wonderful foster home. Catticus is by far the most outgoing, curious and active of all the kittens. He's adorable!On May 7, 2018, Catticus met the family that he is so excited to join. He now lives in Darling's Island, NB with family which includes two young boys who will be his best friends. Congratulations, Catticus! Please send lots of photos!

Mony came to us on February 13, 2017 from the Woodstock area. She was part of a colony of cats who were fortunate to have been accepted as part of DunRoamin's and PetSmart Charities of Canada's joint project to spay and neuter 150 cats in the Woodstock area to help reduce the number of cats born into an area already overrun with homeless cats.Mony was born about April 13, 2017 and was terrified at the moment - wouldn't we all be? While living on the streets she had sustained a broken right hind leg which will required surgery to remove the femoral head and neck. She had also had a previously-broken pelvis and left hind leg which had already healed. What a life she's had - all these injuries to deal with on her own, and she was not even a year old yet!DunRoamin' ensured that she received the surgery she required to repair her hip, as well as full vaccinations and all other necessities to ensure she will be fine. Donations to help with her care are very much welcome at Canada Helps, as well as other options on our Donate page. Mony thanks everyone who has had a hand in helping change her entire world. She'll be okay now. One important thing to note: Mony is NOT a fan of dogs, so would like to have a cats-only home.On May 1, 2018, Mony was adopted by a lady in Woodstock who had tried to help her previously by feeding and providing shelter. She will live safely and securely in the home of her new best friend where she'll be happy ever after. Thank you. Congratulations, Mony.

Kylecame to us on March 26, 2018 from Woodstock. He had been part of our initiative with PetSmart Charities to spay and neuter 150 unowned cats. Normally he would have been returned to his original home, but he is different - he has a condition known as cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). This was most probably caused by exposure to a virus while still in the womb. Kyle appears to have a mild case of it - he's pretty much normal to look at, but when he gets excited his head begins to wobble, thus the term "wobble cat" arose. In more severe cases, they have trouble walking and more or less "flop around." This is not painful, nor is it a progressive condition - it's just the way they are! Kyle was born about September 27, 2017.Kyle is a very sweet and affectionate boy and he's completely normal, other than the fact that his head bobs when he gets excited. He is loving and playful and he has no concept that he may be different from any other kitten. He loves to be cuddled, patted and he loves to play with his toys. He couldn't wait to meet a family that will love him for who he is and not see him as someone with a "disability" - he doesn't have one! On April 27, 2018, his dream came true. Kyle now lives with a young couple in Greenfield where his new life began today. He also has a new friend, Flanders (see below) who is about his age, so they'll grow up together in a loving home. Thanks to his new family! Congratulations, Kyle!! Please write soon!

Avril and her brother "Nickleby" came to us on March 31, 2018 from the Lansdowne area where someone noticed some boxes on the side of the road, one of which they discovered contained Avril and her brother Nickleby. They were unable to keep or care for them.Avril and Nickelby were born about March 31, 2017. Avril is petite and very sweet. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites, as are all DunRoamin' cats. She displayed a minor heart murmur, but we suspect it was just due to the stress of her new situation. Both she and Nickelby are loving and affectionate - obviously had a home and family before they were abandoned on the side of the road. They love each other and their dream is to be able to stay together.On April 16, 2018, their dream came true when they met a young man with whom they fell in love. They are very fortunate to call him family now and are grateful for their new home in Florenceville. Thanks for keeping them together. Please don't forget to send lots of photos. We'll miss you both!

Nick came to DunRoamin' on July 2, 2013 from Glassville where he had come to the home of a lady and showed her his distress. He was very skinny and was unable to eat properly because his teeth and mouth were badly infected, causing him great pain. Nick was born about 2008, so no telling how long he'd been suffering.Nick's bad teeth were removed and he was giving medication for pain and infection. He showed gratitude and love to his caregivers and rapidly became much better.On July 30, 2013 Nick was adopted by a lady in Glassville, and he'll be the best friend of her son. He's a lucky little boy. He thanks everyone who had a part in this new life he's enjoying!

Dale came to us on March 24, 2018 from Florenceville. Dale was originally believed to be a female who had been treated for fleas, but such was not the case. Dale is a little boy who was born about January 27, 2018, and he was laden with fleas. Dale's new owner was not able to keep him.Along with having fleas, Dale was hypothermic (low body temperature). He was quickly given the medical assistance he required and was fostered by a vet tech to ensure he remained healthy. He has been fully vaccinated, neutered, tested for FIV, tested for FeLV, treated for parasites, given a healthy and nutritious diet and treated with the love and care that he deserves. It took him only a short time to become happy, healthy and even cuter than before!On April 21, 2018, Dale was adopted by a very nice young couple from Carlow where he'll enjoy the company of his new family which includes a dog with whom he's already best friends! Congratulations, Dale! Thanks to your mom and dad for adopting you and for volunteering to help all your friends!

Welsh came to us on February 9, 2018 from the Perth-Andover area where she was rescued by a kind RCMP officer who observed that she had severe and untended medical issues. Welsh had ear mites, was very much underweight, very hungry, had way too many fleas and was dehydrated, but her biggest problem was her rectal prolapse. This is the protrusion of the inner layers of the rectum through the anus, leaving some of the rectum outside the body. This is often the result of straining to defecate or urinate (perhaps caused by a virus or worms) and Welsh's condition was one of the worst we've seen. Welsh was born about November 1, 2017, so was just a baby. She is forever grateful to the compassionate RCMP officer who ensured she had a chance at this new life.Upon arrival at FVC, Welsh was immediately assessed and taken to surgery where her vet repaired her rectum. She also had bladder stones which were removed once she was healthy. Welsh thanks Dr Monteith for her concerned and immediate action upon her arrival for medical care as well as her surgical skill in ensuring that she had the best chance possible for her new life which began this day. Her prognosis is good and she's already eating like she'd never had food before, purring and head butting like nobody's business! She loves people and is extremely cuddly and affectionate. She rushes the kennel door to greet her new friends and can't begin to express her gratitude enough! She is a real sweetheart and we're sure, with the great care she's received at FVC, that she's gonna be just fine! On April 11, 2018, Welsh was beside herself with joy! Today she went to her new home and family. She now lives in Stickney with her new feline brother, two human servants and five DunRoamin' foster cats! She'll be running the house soon! Congratulations, Welsh! Thanks, Katrina!

Poe came to us on February 23, 2018 from the Oakland area where he had been living in a trailer but had no longer been wanted, so was delivered to a lady who discovered that he had a problem on his belly. She was unable to provide the medical care required. Poe was born about February 23, 2017.Examination by Poe's new vet at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic revealed that he had fleas, ear mites and an umbilical hernia (protrusion of the abdominal lining) on his belly. He underwent surgery to repair this and he's now fine! He's neutered, fully vaccinated and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Poe is a very quiet, kind and affectionate little gentleman. If you're looking for a loving and attentive companion, he could very well be your boy!On April 11, 2018, Poe met a very nice lady from Somerville who thought he would be the perfect addition to her home. Poe now has his very own family which includes a 7-year-old boy who is totally smitten with him, and vice versa. Congratulations, Poe! Don't forget to send photos and tell us how wonderful your new life is in Somerville!!

Leila came to us from Jacksonville on March 12, 2018. She was a stray who had originally been found in Woodstock and was taken to Jacksonville but the only shelter there was an outbuilding. She had no warm place to live and her life had been threatened as no one wanted her.Leila is calm, quiet, and an affectionate and loving little girl. She happily accepted a warm bed and food and seemed grateful to settle in to a safe environment. Leila was born about October 1, 2017, so is still just a kitten. She was found to be thin and had tapeworms and ear mites, both of which were immediately treated. She is spayed and completely up to date on all her vaccines. She hopes to have a safe, warm, loving home!! Please come meet her!On April 10, 2018, Leila met and fell in love with a lady from Limestone, NB, and they both decided they would like to be family. And to make it even nicer, Waif (see above) went along with her so that she'd always have lots of company and someone to play and snuggle with when her human family isn't home! Congratulations!!

Zima came to us on January 28, 2018 from Woodstock where she was found outside Guardian Drugs on Main Street. She was injured, didn't want to move or eat and needed help. A DunRoamin' guardian angel quickly collected her to ensure she received medical care and kept her warm and safe overnight until she could make her way to us.Zima (Russian for "winter") was born about January 28, 2015. She was overweight and already spayed, so has belonged to someone at some time. She had fleas which were treated and abrasions on her face (probably the result of having been struck by a vehicle) which were already healing. Part of her lip was torn but was also healing. On top of the fleas and injuries, she's also had to deal with the cold temperatures (approximately -25*C), so she's happy to be safe, warm, fed and cared for. She is very affectionate and loves to have her belly rubbed, although it originally took her a moment to remember that she was safe and that all people she'll now meet will be good to her. She is a real sweetheart and is ready for a loving home!On April 6, 2018, she got the best present ever when she was adopted to a home in Tracey Mills, NB. Just one of the great things about that was the fact that Lazer (see below) got to join this family also, so now they're sisters! It took them no time at all to settle in and soon were purring loudly and sleeping on the couch as if they'd always lived there! Congratulations! Thanks, Sarah, for adopting these two girls. We're happy they have a home together!

Laser came to us on February 10, 2018 from the Jacksonville area where she had been found alone on the road. She was skinny, cold and had infected bite wounds on her belly. The pads of all four feet were badly injured, most probably from frostbite, and she was in pain from trying to walk on them. Laser was born about August 10, 2016.Laser has the best of medical care which included pain medication to make her comfortable and antibiotics to combat the infection in her wounds. She happily kneaded and purred in her new vet's arms to show her appreciation for the care she's getting and the new life she has begun today. She is very happy to have a warm, soft bed and lots of nutritious food. It's been very cold out there for a little cat and we're glad she's DunRoamin'. She happily lived with a half-dozen other cat friends until . . .. . . April 6, 2018 when she was adopted to a home in Tracey Mills, NB. As a bonus for her, she got to meet Zima, a very nice DunRoamin' cat with whom she became friends in a matter of minutes. They happily took over the couch within the first ten minutes of being in their new home! Congratulations! Thanks, Sarah, for giving them a home and family!

Yonder and her best friend Bianca (see below) came to DunRoamin' on March 7, 2018 from the Woodstock area where they were unable to stay in their home due to circumstances beyond their control. Yonder has beautiful white fur and is thought to be a Persian. Other than her best friend Bianca, she does not enjoy other cats or dogs and insists that she be adopted only to a home with Bianca! Yonder was born about July 13, 2012 and has one green and one blue eye - she's beautiful!Yonder required a dental cleaning but was otherwise healthy. She had some matted fur that had to be shaved, but it's already growing back in and she's beautiful! She will require frequent brushing, but she's very happy with that!On April 6, 2018, Yonder was adopted to the home of a very nice lady in New Maryland who loves her already, and vice versa. Congratulations, Yonder. And we're very happy to add that your best friend, Bianca, got to go along with you! Thanks for keeping these two best friends together!

Bianca came to DunRoamin' on March 7, 2018 from the Woodstock area where she was no longer able to stay in her home due to circumstances unrelated to her. Bianca was born about July 13, 2015 and appears to be a Persian with beautiful long white fur. Bianca is especially attached to her best friend, Yonder (see above), and says she doesn't want to go to a new home unless Yonder can come too and there can be no other pets with whom they might be required to share their human's attention!Bianca is a beautiful little girl. She was spayed, had some gingivitis and tartar which required some of her teeth to be removed and she is doing well. She was also shaved but will soon require frequent brushing and she's happy with that! She's looking forward to a new home with her friend Yonder.On April 6, 2018, she got her wish. She and Yonder were adopted to a home in New Maryland where they'll live happily ever after. They both thank all those who had a hand in making sure they got the life of which they are so deserving. Congratulations to them and thanks to their new family!

Blizzard was found on the road in Mount Pleasant on February 15, 2011. She was literally covered with ice, and was freezing. The lady who rescued her took her from door to door in the area hoping to find her home. One man actually slammed the door in her face! Blizzard came to us for help. She was thin, starving, had a broken tooth, earmites and, of course, frostbite from the extremely cold temperatures. She's about two years old. She's very fortunate to have been found by a caring person, as she would most likely not have been able to survive much longer without shelter. The tips of her ears have been frostbitten. Blizzard was very cuddly and wanted to soak up as much body heat as she possibly could. She's very affectionate and has obviously been someone's beloved pet. Her fur is beautiful, and looks like the ends are beautifully frosted. On June 9, 2011, she chose a very nice couple from Woodstock as her new family, and she particularly loves to be held and cuddled by the gentleman. Renamed Bella, she will also have two new dog friends and one new cat friend. Congratulations, Bella. We'll miss you, and we're all very happy for you! Please make sure you send lots of photos and updates on you and your new family.

Peace was returned to us on March 2, 2018. Peace originally came to us on November 4, 2016, when she was live-trapped at an abandoned home in Hartland where she was trying to survive on her own. Several other cats were also rescued from this location, including Escobar, Juan and Pablo who have since been adopted.Peace was initially very timid but soon learned to trust us. She loves kids and was named "Peace" due to the grey and white markings on the back of her head which resemble a peace sign. She was born about May 9, 2015. She was adopted to a home, but was not comfortable here, so came back to us where she was happy to meet Bristle who became her very best friend.Peace was timid on her first day back with us, as expected, but quickly accepted pats and ear scratches. We're sure she'll be fine - especially since she'd made a new friend with Bristle - they cuddle together constantly. Peace and Bristle were adopted to a new home on February 2, 2018, but she was very scared with dogs in the home, so she asked to have a home with no dogs and maybe one or two other cats, especially if it included her best friend Bristle (see below), but she definitely would not like to live with dogs. Peace is very affectionate once she gets to know you, and she especially seems to love young children! She also loves to be brushed.On March 7, 2018, Peace met a couple from Florenceville whose generosity and love for animals ensured that they'd get to stay together and be loved forever. They are exceptionally grateful to have a family where they can stay together and have the life they will in the many years to come. Congratulations, Peace and Bristle, to you and your new family. Don't forget to write often! We'll miss you! Peace & BristleUpdate - 11 Mar 18: Peace is already following her new mother around the house and loves to be brushed. Bristle was a little slower to acclimatize, but now loves to be patted and cuddled!

Bristle and her siblings Pounce, Blitz and Breeze came to us on January 9, 2014 from the Perth-Andover area and were loving cats who had been through a lot. Blitz and Breeze were adopted, and sadly, Pounce passed away on December 30, 2017. You can read about him on our Pet Memorials page. They were born about January 1, 2013. They were all scared and confused, but became accepting of love, hugs and pats. Bristle was easily the most outgoing and she loved to be patted, picked up and cuddled. She really misses her brother, Pounce, with whom she cuddled constantly. On January 20, 2018, she was happy to have Peace join her (see above) because they quickly became best friends and she was happy to cuddle with her, even though she will never forget her brother, Pounce. Neither will we.Bristle has been waiting for a home for more than four full years. She went to a new home on February 2, 2018, but came back to us on March 2 because she was not comfortable in the home with dogs and it was a more active environment than one that she enjoys. She loves other cats, loves to just sit and be cuddled and she loves kittens. She would just like to have a quiet home and family of her own where she can live happily ever after. One or two other cats would be okay, but the hustle and bustle of a loud and busy home is not in her comfort zone.On March 7, 2018, Bristle met a couple from Florenceville who thought they might be the perfect fit for Bristle. And their love and generosity for animals made them want to make sure Bristle was as happy as she could possibly be, so they invited Peace to join their family also! Thank you SO much! Congratulations to everyone! Please stay in touch - we can't wait to hear about your new life!! Peace & Bristle

Venture came to us on February 9, 2017 from the Beechwood area where she had been abandoned in the dooryard of a gentleman the previous evening. He brought her inside to ensure she was warm and safe, but was unable to undertake her care. Venture is a very sweet little kitten who was born about June 9, 2017. She is unique in that the majority of orange tabbies are said to be male, but she is a beautiful little female who is very affectionate, playful and loving. She loves to play with other cats and quickly accepts a game of Chase The Mouse with a human, too! She is a real sweetheart!On March 5, 2018, a lady and gentleman from Florenceville attended DunRoamin' to find a friend for their cat as his best friend had recently passed away. Venture decided that she was the cat for their family, and that's the end of that story! She chose them and they are very happy with her decision! Thanks for giving her the perfect home - she's a very lucky little kitten! Congratulations to everyone!

Avril and her brother "Nickleby" came to us on March 31, 2018 from the Lansdowne area where someone noticed some boxes on the side of the road, one of which they discovered contained Avril and her brother Nickleby. They were unable to keep or care for them.Avril and Nickelby were born about March 31, 2017. Avril is petite and very sweet. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites, as are all DunRoamin' cats. She displayed a minor heart murmur, but we suspect it was just due to the stress of her new situation. Both she and Nickelby are loving and affectionate - obviously had a home and family before they were abandoned on the side of the road. They love each other and their dream is to be able to stay together.On April 16, 2018, their dream came true when they met a young man with whom they fell in love. They are very fortunate to call him family now and are grateful for their new home in Florenceville. Thanks for keeping them together. Please don't forget to send lots of photos. We'll miss you both!

Nina came back to us on December 11, 2017 from the Bath area where she had lived since being adopted in September, 2016 by a very nice gentleman. Unfortunately, due to medical issues, he could no longer keep her. As is our policy, Nina came back to us to find another home. They will miss each other greatly.Nina was born about April 28, 2014. She and her siblings, Reddington, Keen, Spader and Diega had been found in a box on the side of the road in Lansdowne on June 2, 2014. They were all very fortunate to find loving homes.Nina is a beautiful grey tabby who has obviously been well loved and cared for in her previous home. She is an affectionate and happy little girl and she's hoping to be welcomed by another family who will care for her as well as she has experienced in the past. She's got lots to give back. She loves kids and loves to get in a tub when water is running. She also likes scratching posts, riding on your shoulder and being picked up and carried around. She's never been all that keen on dogs, though. Her favourite thing to do since she's been back with us is to go for a run on our exercise wheel. She loves it!On January 11, 2018, Nina was chosen by a lady in Bath (or rather, Nina chose her!) to be her newest family member. She will have lots of kids to play with and she'll be lavished with affection daily. She'll also get to cuddle and be carried around on shoulders - one of her favourite things. Send lots of photos, Nina. We'll miss you! Congratulations on your new family!

Frostine came to us on November 24, 2017 from Bath where she was found in a box in the rafters of a garage. Her mom, Lotus, had been rescued two days earlier and when her rescuer realized she still might have kittens, went looking for these little ones. Frostine and her siblings, Snowdon, Slippy, Blanc, Sleet and Hail were born about October 27, 2017. When found, they were living (and had probably been born) in a box in the rafters of a garage. They had been without their mom to keep them warm, feed them, or stimulate them to pee and poop for at least two days, so they really needed help. They had fleas which were treated.Frostine is mostly white, but she has four little swatches of grey fur on the top of her head. She is SOOOO cute! She and her siblings could hardly wait to be ready to go to homes in the new year. On January 6, 2018, Frostine was elated to finally be ready to go to her new home in Fredericton. Her adopted family is SO excited to have her, and she'll join a family that already has feline members. Congratulations, Frostine! Send pictures soon!

Frost and his siblings Frisky, Creak, YumYum and NumNum came to DunRoamin' on November 1, 2012 after having been found wrapped in a towel at an empty home in Johnville. The lady who owned the home had been in a manor for some time and had passed away the previous week. People checking the house happened to find these little ones, and they're very lucky to have been found when they were. It was a really cold night and the towel wouldn't have helped much. They were starving and had fleas. They were born about October 5, 2012. They're very cute little ones who were fostered by a family who helped them learn to trust. They learned to love and trust so much, as a matter of fact, that . . . On February 20, 2013, they were welcomed as permanent family members. Now that's the way it's supposed to be!! Congratulations!

McCrae came to us on November 7, 2017 from the Woodstock area where he was living in a garage. When it was learned he was sick, he was brought for help, along with his friend Normandy who, sadly, did not survive, despite the best of medical attention. McCrae was born about September 19, 2017. He was relatively healthy, but had no one to look after him and it's cold, wet and lonely out there if you're only a baby. Even if you're not!As of November 13, 2017, McCrae was looking a little better and was eating a bit on his own. He still had a ways to go, but with the love and care he got, it was much easier than he thought! He's got everything he needs: good food, good medical care and good friends. McCrae is honoured to have been named after Col John McCrae, a field surgeon in the Canadian Artillery during World War I. Col McCrae, who was born on November 30, 1872 in Guelph, Ontario, is well remembered as the author of "In Flanders Fields," the world's most famous war memorial poem.On January 6, 2018, McCrae finally made the trek to his new home in Waasis where he joins a family with two young girls who love him already! We'll be looking forward to photos, McCrae. Be a good boy - we'll miss you!!
