Thanks to the generosity and commitment of so many of our volunteers, DunRoamin' now has a Foster Parent Program for our strays. You need no experience with pets or fostering to join our program. We match a foster pet with your level of experience, your home environment (ie. other pets, children, work and travel schedules, etc), as well as your preferences.
The purpose of our Foster Parent Program is to provide a home environment for our rescued animals while they await permanent placement. Foster homes provide a less stressful environment than a shelter, pound or other facility and speed up the socialization process by allowing the animal to interact with people regularly. Foster Parents are essential to the welfare and proper placement of our animals, as they increase the pet's chance of finding a loving, permanent home by evaluating the animal and providing our adoption counselors with a profile of the animal's character and personality, as well as being able to observe their actions and interactions in a home environment.
Before going to a foster home, all DunRoamin' pets have been:
It is common for foster pets to require follow-up vet care (at DunRoamin' expense) while they are in foster care.
Foster parent responsibilities include:

| Trickle |
|
"Trickle" and her sisters Chyler and Bliss all came to DunRoamin' on November 18, 2015 from Grand Falls. The people who had them requested that they beeuthanized because they were too wild. These three little girls wereonly about three and a half months old, born about August 1, 2015. We couldn't allow that to happen to such tiny babies.All three were in decent health, although they were slightly skinny and had fleas. Their parasites were treated and they got lots of healthy food so they could put on some weight. They were initially scared, but a little love and compassion went a long way and they soon realized they were among friends.As of January 6, 2016, they cuddled, purred and played with the best of them! They would like a quiet home where they can enjoy the company of someone who would be fine with cats who are not snuggle bugs, but still enjoy being in the room with people. Trickle has been fostered in Currie Siding since February 5, 2017. Shes still waiting for that permanent family!

| Spartacus |
|
Spartacus came to us from the Plaster Rock area on May 2, 2017 where a couple had several cats, but were splitting up and could no longer house them all. Heartbroken, they had to give some up, so Spartacus came to us to find a new home. Spartacus is a beautiful little boy - a true gentleman. He loves to be patted and particularly loves his ears, cheeks and chin scratched. He is not so much a "pickin' up cat," but he is very affectionate and likes to spend time with humans.
Spartacus was born about August 2, 2014. He tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), but he is a very healthy, happy, affectionate boy. FIV cats can live long and happy lives, especially if they are cared for, vaccinated, have a good diet and are monitored closely for such things as upper respiratory infection (colds) or dental disease. Please read about FIV and consider taking one of these beautiful cats home - they're perfect! Spartacus spent some time with a senior citizen as part of our Cats For Seniors program, then came back to us. He is currently fostered in Woodstock with another cat who is also spoiled rotten! Thanks to his sponsors for providing food and any required medical care. He is a very lucky little boy. FIV+I have FIV, click here to see what that means for me and you. |

| Splinter |
|
Splinter came to us on May 8, 2018 from Glassville where he'd been part of a colony of feral cats that was trying survive. Splinter was born about August 7, 2010, so was about eight years old. In his life, he had sustained several wounds and injuries. Today he displayed a very badly-infected ear and he needed help. Splinter's ear was cleaned and he was placed on antibiotics to ensure the infection would not spread further. He wasn't sure what to think of us at first, but this old guy is happy to be warm, safe and have food delivered upon demand.
Splinter is doing well, and although he was initially a little timid and quiet, he quickly realized that we'll take good care of him. He is currently fostered with three other cats in Florenceville and he gets along with them fine. He's still initially a little timid of humans, though, but loves his toys and to sleep on his human's bed! Once he gets to know you, though, he's all over you looking for pats and hugs! He hopes to have a safe, warm and loving permanent home soon. He's tired of those long, cold, hungry winters and has paid his dues many times over. He likes to be patted and have his belly rubbed, but mostly he loves having his back scratched at the base of his tail - elevator butt!! Splinter tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). He's currently being spoiled in his foster home, and being a senior citizen, is very happy with that! He still loves to chase toys (and his foster brothers!), and he certainly loves his Temptations! FIV+I have FIV, click here to see what that means for me and you. |

| Langford |
|
"Langford" came to DunRoamin' on March 8, 2019, from Woodstock where he had been a stray who had been hanging around for about six months and was being fed and sheltered during the recent cold winter months. On March 7, 2019, he had appeared with a large bleeding wound on the left side of his neck. Langford was born about March 8, 2017, so had apparently been surviving on his own for a while.Langford was delivered immediately to his newest vet friend for the medical intervention he required. It was learned that Langford had sustained a previous wound on his neck which had abscessed and burst. Langford was prescribed antibiotics and other required medical care, which he quickly received. Langford is covered with numerous old fight wounds, indicating that he's had a rough life to date, but all that changed today. He is very loving and affectionate and is grateful for the warm bed and plentiful food. He's a social eater who prefers to have company when he eats, so when someone is with him, he eats up a storm of that ever-present banquet! He quickly put on some weight and is now doing fine. Langford tested positive for FIV. Please read about FIV and FeLV here.Langford is a very attentive and smart little boy. He loves to run the length of the entire house and comes running when you call his name. He has a great sense of humour and will steal all the food he can get - he's got a very solid little body! If you're looking for a unique and interesting cat, he's definitely your boy!!

| Frazzle |
|
Frazzle came to us from Waterville on the morning of May 13, 2019 where she had been found on a porch at 8 am. Frazzle could barely move. She was brought for help and was immediately taken to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic for examination and assistance. Frazzle was not in good shape. She was born about May 13, 2017, but weighed only three pounds. Frazzle was dehydrated, very pale, had halitosis, was emaciated, lethargic, had burdocks matted in her fur and had a purulent discharge coming from her eyes. A thermometer revealed that her body temperature was also several degrees below normal. She was very cold.
Frazzle was warmed up, given intravenous fluids, medications and several tests were conducted to determine if her kidneys and other organs were working properly. Frazzle was so exhausted and weak that, in the next few hours and days, she could barely hold her head up when trying to eat warm food. On May 14, 2019, Frazzle received a blood transfusion from a generous feline donor which soon made a world of difference for her. Thanks, Biggie! You saved her life! Frazzle used the litter box for the first time on May 15 and appeared to have the tiniest bit of energy - that's a WONDERFUL sign! She (and we) would like to thank the Florencevile Veterinary Clinic for their kind and hard work to ensure this little one has a chance at the life she deserves. On May 31, 2019, we learned that Frazzle was improving nicely and is comfortable, happy, purring and content with her huge staff of human servants who wait on her hand and foot, day and night. In June, she required a feeding tube to be inserted as she declined her meals, but she was soon eating on her own again and feeling better. On August 15, 2019, Frazzle was fortunate to go to a foster home where she is treated like a queen and is doing amazingly well! We'd like to thank her vet tech foster mom - you're amazing!! Frazzle is a very lucky girl! Her mom reports that she is a quiet girl but has the funniest raspy meow when she talks! She loves to go outside in her secure catio and chase bugs. Her favourite toys are springs and want toys, which she leaps into the air to catch! Frazzle is a super affectionate girl and loves to lay on her mom's lap. She does not enjoy her spa days of shaving her bum as required, nor does she enjoy medication as required either, but she says it is well worth it to have this loving home. She is a very lucky little girl, and she thanks those who sponsor her to ensure she has the medical care she requires. She knows how fortunate she is, and is very grateful to all who have made this new life possible. |

| Bronte |
|
"Bronte" came to us on June 6, 2019 from the Oakland area where she had been found to be in poor physical condition and obviously required help. Bronte was born about December 8, 2018. Her kittens, Rosamund, Rochester and Eyre (see below) also came with her. We thank the person who discovered this colony all alone and brought them for help. Bronte is a little nervous of dogs, so would prefer a home without dogs. Sheis playful, loving and energetic. She'd like to thank her foster families for all they've done for her. She can't wait to go to a home! As of October 7, 2019, she was fostered with a wonderful lady in Bath.Thank you!!

| Trinity |
|
"Trinity" came to us from Oakland on June 10, 2019 along with nine more cats, as well as 16 others who had arrived four days earlier, for a total of 26 from that location where they had been living in and around a home but had little care. All had experienced exposure to fleas and ear mites and many had such bad upper respiratory infections that they required intensive medical care (please read about them above and below).Trinity was born about June 10, 2017, so may be a sibling to Jubilee and Asterisk (already adopted). She is a beautiful buff multi mother cat who was initially timid, but is doing well as she becomes accustomed to us. She had been exposed to upper respiratoryinfection, fleas and ear mites, but has been treated for all. She is also spayed, fully vaccinated and tested for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus and Feline Leukemia. She's looking forward to a nice home where she'll be safe, warm, fed and loved. She currently lives in a home with two dogs whom she does not mind at all. She may have a tendency to run through open doors, but she always comes back infor food and company. Her adoptive family should have double doors and be aware that she might try to get out, but as always, our cats must be indoor cats only where they are always safe. Trinity is doing very well staying indoors, but may attempt a short escape on occasion.

| Gretchen |
|
"Gretchen" and her sister Rosalita arrived at DunRoamin' on August 2, 2019. They had originally come from the Edmundston area where they had been found in an empty apartment. Fortunately, they had no extreme health problems, but no one wanted them and they were scheduled for euthanasia. Gretchen was born about February 1, 2019, so was only a kitten. She was initially timid, of course, after what she'd been through, but she's doing so much better now. She is now spayed, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites. She is a beautiful little girl who dreams of a family to grow up in.On October 2, 2019, Gretchen and her sister Rosalita were fosteredby a very kind lady in Bath. We are very grateful, as we were completely full at DunRoamin'. We appreciate thehelp very much and Gretchen enjoys the love and attention of her foster family - both feline and human!!

| Rocky |
|
Rocky came to us on November 10, 2020 from Holmesville where he had been trying to survive on his own. He had been hanging around a house for quite some time asking for food and shelter, but no one was able to take him in. He came to DunRoamin' and tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), which, as we know, is no big deal these days! Rocky was born about November 27, 2017.
Rocky is a nice boy who loves to have his ears scratched, although when he's had enough he'll let you know by whacking you with his paw - he's in charge, you know! He currently lives with his best friend, Gilmore and they are hoping for a loving home together where they can live out the rest of their lives in bliss! Rocky has come into his own very quickly. He is friendly, affectionate and loves to have lots of pets and scratches. If he tires of attention, he'll let us know with a quick swat, but then is back very quickly for more loving! He is quite the boy! As you can read below, FIV+ cats may live long and happy lives and may interact with other cats as long as they do not fight, and he's a lover, not a fighter! Please come meet this gorgeous tuxedo cat! He is SO hoping for a home where he can sleep on a bed, watch TV and help his person type on a computer! He loves to hang out with people! On January 22, 2021, Rocky was invited to be fostered by a very nice couple in Riceville while he awaits a permanent home. Thanks to them for giving this beautiful little boy a home while he awaits a permanent abode! Rocky is grateful for his supporters through our Sponsor A Kitty program. Thank you!! FIV+I have FIV, click here to see what that means for me and you. |

| Waif |
|
Waif returned to DunRoamin' on January 29, 2021 from Woodstock where she had been adopted about three years previously. Waif had become ill and was not doing well, so she returned to her original vet to be treated.
Waif had a temperature and did not feel well enough to eat. She was prescribed medication and required a feeding tube inserted until she felt well enough to eat on her own. Waif was born about January 3, 2017 and is a very nice, friendly, affectionate little girl. We'd like to thank her vet tech foster mother for taking such good care of her. She's in the best of hands, and has done well as a result. Waif was diagnosed with liver dysplasia, but is doing much better now. She is grateful to have the love and support of her vet tech foster mom and is a loving little girl who interacts well with her foster family. Her new best four-legged friend is a Great Dane, and they love each other! Thanks to her family for taking such great care of her!! |

| Gaia |
|
Gaia came to DunRoamin' from a colony of cats in Sommerville on May 18, 2021. Born about January 1, 2020, she was not in good shape. A bad case of upper respiratory infection required her left eye to be removed and she required dental work once she was strong enough. On top of these medical issues, she was found to be diabetic. She has had a hard go, but all that ends today.
Gaia tested negative for FIV and FeLV and was spayed. Gaia requires a very tiny amount of insulin twice daily and a diabetic diet which have both allowed her system to regulate very well. We hope that eventually she will need only the diabetic food and can dispense with the injections! She is a beautiful little girl who is grateful to be warm and safe. Now that she's starting to feel better, she is showing her real personality - and it's a winner! Gaia hopes for a loving home very soon. Her insulin injections are really no big deal, are inexpensive and she is SUCH a sweet little girl! She was soon putting on weight and she will be very grateful to have a family of her very own. Right now, she is fostered by a caring couple who ensures she has the best of the best. Diabetic cats may require a diabetic diet and/or an insulin injection once or twice daily, but once they are regulated, they do very well! Gaia eats Fancy Feast canned food (only fish or chicken is appropriate for diabetics) and Purina DM dry food and she loves them both. She has put on weight and is now a healthy, happy, loving and affectionate little girl. She would love to have a family and live in a loving home - she's been waiting since Day 1, and she's definitely ready for one!! Gaia is grateful for her foster family and for her Sponsor A Kitty friends who help support her diabetic requirements. Thank you! |

| Gilmore |
|
Gilmore came to DunRoamin' on June 2, 2021 from Gregg Settlement where he was peeing inappropriately in the home and his owners were unable to provide medical assistance. Gilmore was assessed by his new vet at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and found to have cystitis for which he was quickly treated.
Gilmore is a sweet little boy who was born about April 15, 2016. He loves to have his ears scratched and loves attention. He must eat a prescription of Royal Canin Urinary S/O food only, as he may have a tendency to block if he eats any other food. This is a high-quality food that we have used for years and have had not even one single recurrence as long as they stay on this diet! Gilmore is looking forward to meeting a family who will love him very soon! Perhaps there is a family that is already feeding their cat Urinary S/O food - he'd love to join!! On August 10, 2021, Gilmore went to be fostered with Rocky, another DunRoamin cat. Thank you to this family for accepting him into your home while he awaits a permanent home. You are wonderful!! Gilmore is grateful to his Sponsor A Kitty friends who help provide his prescription food, medication and vet visits. We are all grateful! |

| Dazzler |
|
Dazzler returned to DunRoamin' on November 18, 2021. She had originally come from the Hartland area where she and several siblings had been found locked in a shed during hot summer days. She had been adopted on April 16, 2013, but had been returned as she was stressed by the noise and activity of young children. On December 4, 2014, she was adopted by a couple from Stickney, but they eventually gave her up for reasons unknown.
Dazzler was born about May 25, 2011. She is a very sweet little old lady who loves everyone. She tested positive for FeLV, but it is still not an issue at her ripe old age! Dazzler lived with several other FeLV+ cats until she was chosen by the nicest couple ever to come live with them in the Perth area. She has been diagnosed with arthritis and is now on medication to help. She visits her vet friend for an injection monthly and it has made a huge change in her comfort level. Dazz has recently been diagnosed as diabetic, so now will undergo medical care for this as well. She is doing very well - happy, healthy and enjoying being spoiled by her humans. She is fostered with another DunRoamin' FeLV+ kitten, Jacob, and they are best friends - he adores her! Dazzler keeps her humans entertained and displays her gratitude daily for all the love she has been given. She has the PERFECT retirement home! Dazzler is very grateful to her Sponsor A Kitty friends who help provide for her medical requirements. Thank you. |

| Yaeger |
|
Yaeger came to DunRoamin' on January 17, 2023 from Somerville, NB. He had been a stray in the area for about four years but was now injured and had no one to care for him. Yaeger was born about January 17, 2014. He had several deep wounds on the side of his face that were probably self-inflicted due to the large number of parasites he was carrying which made him so itchy and uncomfortable that he scratched himself very badly in an effort to stop the pain. Much of the skin and fur were missing, especially from the left side of his face, and he hurt.
Yaeger was immediately provided with all medical care required, including parasite control. His wounds all healed well and he shows little sign of his previous injuries. He is a very nice boy who has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, but as we know, that's no big deal these days. Yaeger's wounds have healed very well. His eyes glow with gratitude now that he is pain-free, warm, safe and has such a delicious and nutritious diet. He would love to have his very own home and family - that would be a miracle to him! Please come meet him - he loves people and has lots of attitude!! He is currently fostered with three other cats in the Florenceville area and he gets along very well with all of them. He is a beautiful little boy! FIV+I have FIV, click here to see what that means for me and you. |

Forest came to DunRoamin' on December 12, 2020 from a colony of 62 that was growing unchecked.? She was born about June 13, 2019, so is a sibling to Cadeau, Eira, Amaryllis and Neige.Forest had upper respiratory infection, flea allergy dermatitis and ear mites.? She is a beautiful long-haired?grey tabby who looks forward to having a safe, warm and caring home in which to spend the remainder of her life.? Because she has never been without multiple cats in her life with whom to sleep, cuddle and play, we hope she may be adopted with a sibling so that she may feel loved and comfortable when her life changes for the better!!As of mid-January, she is still experiencing some upper respiratory symptoms and is under close supervision of her veterinarian to ensure he gets better as quickly as she can.? Had she not had this care, she would not be in a good place at all, but we were certain with the expertise of her vet, she would soon be fine and ready to go to a home of her very own.? She is currently on inhalable medication twice daily for asthma and it is possible that she may need this for life.? She stayed close to her vet for several weeks to ensure she was doing well.

| Strauss |
|
Strauss came to DunRoamin' on October 28, 2014 from the Brookville area where she was one of several cats who had taken refuge in a shed. Kind neighbours had very generously taken on the task of their care and were diligent enough to notice a lump on her belly. She had an umbilical hernia which was quickly repaired when she was accepted as a DunRoamin' ward. Strauss was born about May 1, 2014. Strauss has become a very affectionate and trusting little girl. As of January 21, 2015, she is fostered with a family in Bristol. Thanks, Shawn and Mitchell, for giving her a home environment. It is most probably a very unique experience for her!
As Strauss has potential to block (ie: crystals can form in her urine, clump together and potentially block her urethra causing urine to back up into her system), she has been prescribed Royal Canin Urinary S/O food to ensure that cannot occur. She is grateful to her sponsors who help provide her food, medications, vaccines and routine care. |

| Ollie |
|
Ollie came to DunRoamin’ on June 4, 2025, from the Rowena area. He had been experiencing ongoing medical issues for quite some time and was stressed by the presence of other pets in the home, so he was came to us for help as a last resort. Ollie was born about April 12, 2020, and was already neutered upon his arrival. Ollie was assessed by his new vet friend who diagnosed him with hydrocephalus, a condition in which spinal fluid accumulates in the brain. Because of this, he tends to lean to one side when sitting and standing, and he also experiences nystagmus, a rapid and involuntary movement of his eyes from side to side. His vet also diagnosed him with a severe heart murmur.
Because of his medical condition, Ollie may experience seizures, so he will remain with us where we can closely monitor and provide medical care to ensure his health. To date, he is doing well and has made some friends such as Rosco and Brix who keep him company and are very respectful of his differences. Ollie is loving and appears to be happy in his new environment. Thanks to his friends, sponsors and all who have donated to our Ollie's Oasis campaign to ensure that he can receive the best of medical care. This sweet little boy will continue to get all we can give him - he has more than earned our love and respect, and we are grateful to be able to provide him with medical care, a home for as long as he wants it, and all the love we can possibly provide. |

Langford"Langford" came to DunRoamin' on March 8, 2019, from Woodstock where he had been a stray who had been hanging around for about six months and was being fed and sheltered during the recent cold winter months. On March 7, 2019, he had appeared with a large bleeding wound on the left side of his neck. Langford was born about March 8, 2017, so had apparently been surviving on his own for a while.Langford was delivered immediately to his newest vet friend for the medical intervention he required. It was learned that Langford had sustained a previous wound on his neck which had abscessed and burst. Langford was prescribed antibiotics and other required medical care, which he quickly received. Langford is covered with numerous old fight wounds, indicating that he's had a rough life to date, but all that changed today. He is very loving and affectionate and is grateful for the warm bed and plentiful food. He's a social eater who prefers to have company when he eats, so when someone is with him, he eats up a storm of that ever-present banquet! He quickly put on some weight and is now doing fine. Langford tested positive for FIV. Please read about FIV and FeLV here.Langford is a very attentive and smart little boy. He loves to run the length of the entire house and comes running when you call his name. He has a great sense of humour and will steal all the food he can get - he's got a very solid little body! If you're looking for a unique and interesting cat, he's definitely your boy!!

| Frazzle |
FrazzleFrazzle came to us from Waterville on the morning of May 13, 2019 where she had been found on a porch at 8 am. Frazzle could barely move. She was brought for help and was immediately taken to the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic for examination and assistance. Frazzle was not in good shape. She was born about May 13, 2017, but weighed only three pounds. Frazzle was dehydrated, very pale, had halitosis, was emaciated, lethargic, had burdocks matted in her fur and had a purulent discharge coming from her eyes. A thermometer revealed that her body temperature was also several degrees below normal. She was very cold.
Frazzle was warmed up, given intravenous fluids, medications and several tests were conducted to determine if her kidneys and other organs were working properly. Frazzle was so exhausted and weak that, in the next few hours and days, she could barely hold her head up when trying to eat warm food. On May 14, 2019, Frazzle received a blood transfusion from a generous feline donor which soon made a world of difference for her. Thanks, Biggie! You saved her life! Frazzle used the litter box for the first time on May 15 and appeared to have the tiniest bit of energy - that's a WONDERFUL sign! She (and we) would like to thank the Florencevile Veterinary Clinic for their kind and hard work to ensure this little one has a chance at the life she deserves. On May 31, 2019, we learned that Frazzle was improving nicely and is comfortable, happy, purring and content with her huge staff of human servants who wait on her hand and foot, day and night. In June, she required a feeding tube to be inserted as she declined her meals, but she was soon eating on her own again and feeling better. On August 15, 2019, Frazzle was fortunate to go to a foster home where she is treated like a queen and is doing amazingly well! We'd like to thank her vet tech foster mom - you're amazing!! Frazzle is a very lucky girl! Her mom reports that she is a quiet girl but has the funniest raspy meow when she talks! She loves to go outside in her secure catio and chase bugs. Her favourite toys are springs and want toys, which she leaps into the air to catch! Frazzle is a super affectionate girl and loves to lay on her mom's lap. She does not enjoy her spa days of shaving her bum as required, nor does she enjoy medication as required either, but she says it is well worth it to have this loving home. She is a very lucky little girl, and she thanks those who sponsor her to ensure she has the medical care she requires. She knows how fortunate she is, and is very grateful to all who have made this new life possible. |

| Bronte |
Bronte
"Bronte" came to us on June 6, 2019 from the Oakland area where she had been found to be in poor physical condition and obviously required help. Bronte was born about December 8, 2018. Her kittens, Rosamund, Rochester and Eyre (see below) also came with her. We thank the person who discovered this colony all alone and brought them for help. Bronte is a little nervous of dogs, so would prefer a home without dogs. Sheis playful, loving and energetic. She'd like to thank her foster families for all they've done for her. She can't wait to go to a home! As of October 7, 2019, she was fostered with a wonderful lady in Bath.Thank you!!

| Trinity |
Trinity
"Trinity" came to us from Oakland on June 10, 2019 along with nine more cats, as well as 16 others who had arrived four days earlier, for a total of 26 from that location where they had been living in and around a home but had little care. All had experienced exposure to fleas and ear mites and many had such bad upper respiratory infections that they required intensive medical care (please read about them above and below).Trinity was born about June 10, 2017, so may be a sibling to Jubilee and Asterisk (already adopted). She is a beautiful buff multi mother cat who was initially timid, but is doing well as she becomes accustomed to us. She had been exposed to upper respiratoryinfection, fleas and ear mites, but has been treated for all. She is also spayed, fully vaccinated and tested for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus and Feline Leukemia. She's looking forward to a nice home where she'll be safe, warm, fed and loved. She currently lives in a home with two dogs whom she does not mind at all. She may have a tendency to run through open doors, but she always comes back infor food and company. Her adoptive family should have double doors and be aware that she might try to get out, but as always, our cats must be indoor cats only where they are always safe. Trinity is doing very well staying indoors, but may attempt a short escape on occasion.

| Gretchen |
Gretchen
"Gretchen" and her sister Rosalita arrived at DunRoamin' on August 2, 2019. They had originally come from the Edmundston area where they had been found in an empty apartment. Fortunately, they had no extreme health problems, but no one wanted them and they were scheduled for euthanasia. Gretchen was born about February 1, 2019, so was only a kitten. She was initially timid, of course, after what she'd been through, but she's doing so much better now. She is now spayed, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV and treated for all parasites. She is a beautiful little girl who dreams of a family to grow up in.On October 2, 2019, Gretchen and her sister Rosalita were fosteredby a very kind lady in Bath. We are very grateful, as we were completely full at DunRoamin'. We appreciate thehelp very much and Gretchen enjoys the love and attention of her foster family - both feline and human!!

| Rocky |
RockyRocky came to us on November 10, 2020 from Holmesville where he had been trying to survive on his own. He had been hanging around a house for quite some time asking for food and shelter, but no one was able to take him in. He came to DunRoamin' and tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), which, as we know, is no big deal these days! Rocky was born about November 27, 2017.
Rocky is a nice boy who loves to have his ears scratched, although when he's had enough he'll let you know by whacking you with his paw - he's in charge, you know! He currently lives with his best friend, Gilmore and they are hoping for a loving home together where they can live out the rest of their lives in bliss! Rocky has come into his own very quickly. He is friendly, affectionate and loves to have lots of pets and scratches. If he tires of attention, he'll let us know with a quick swat, but then is back very quickly for more loving! He is quite the boy! As you can read below, FIV+ cats may live long and happy lives and may interact with other cats as long as they do not fight, and he's a lover, not a fighter! Please come meet this gorgeous tuxedo cat! He is SO hoping for a home where he can sleep on a bed, watch TV and help his person type on a computer! He loves to hang out with people! On January 22, 2021, Rocky was invited to be fostered by a very nice couple in Riceville while he awaits a permanent home. Thanks to them for giving this beautiful little boy a home while he awaits a permanent abode! Rocky is grateful for his supporters through our Sponsor A Kitty program. Thank you!! FIV+I have FIV, click here to see what that means for me and you. |

| Waif |
WaifWaif returned to DunRoamin' on January 29, 2021 from Woodstock where she had been adopted about three years previously. Waif had become ill and was not doing well, so she returned to her original vet to be treated.
Waif had a temperature and did not feel well enough to eat. She was prescribed medication and required a feeding tube inserted until she felt well enough to eat on her own. Waif was born about January 3, 2017 and is a very nice, friendly, affectionate little girl. We'd like to thank her vet tech foster mother for taking such good care of her. She's in the best of hands, and has done well as a result. Waif was diagnosed with liver dysplasia, but is doing much better now. She is grateful to have the love and support of her vet tech foster mom and is a loving little girl who interacts well with her foster family. Her new best four-legged friend is a Great Dane, and they love each other! Thanks to her family for taking such great care of her!! |

| Gaia |
GaiaGaia came to DunRoamin' from a colony of cats in Sommerville on May 18, 2021. Born about January 1, 2020, she was not in good shape. A bad case of upper respiratory infection required her left eye to be removed and she required dental work once she was strong enough. On top of these medical issues, she was found to be diabetic. She has had a hard go, but all that ends today.
Gaia tested negative for FIV and FeLV and was spayed. Gaia requires a very tiny amount of insulin twice daily and a diabetic diet which have both allowed her system to regulate very well. We hope that eventually she will need only the diabetic food and can dispense with the injections! She is a beautiful little girl who is grateful to be warm and safe. Now that she's starting to feel better, she is showing her real personality - and it's a winner! Gaia hopes for a loving home very soon. Her insulin injections are really no big deal, are inexpensive and she is SUCH a sweet little girl! She was soon putting on weight and she will be very grateful to have a family of her very own. Right now, she is fostered by a caring couple who ensures she has the best of the best. Diabetic cats may require a diabetic diet and/or an insulin injection once or twice daily, but once they are regulated, they do very well! Gaia eats Fancy Feast canned food (only fish or chicken is appropriate for diabetics) and Purina DM dry food and she loves them both. She has put on weight and is now a healthy, happy, loving and affectionate little girl. She would love to have a family and live in a loving home - she's been waiting since Day 1, and she's definitely ready for one!! Gaia is grateful for her foster family and for her Sponsor A Kitty friends who help support her diabetic requirements. Thank you! |

| Gilmore |
Gilmore
Gilmore came to DunRoamin' on June 2, 2021 from Gregg Settlement where he was peeing inappropriately in the home and his owners were unable to provide medical assistance. Gilmore was assessed by his new vet at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic and found to have cystitis for which he was quickly treated.
Gilmore is a sweet little boy who was born about April 15, 2016. He loves to have his ears scratched and loves attention. He must eat a prescription of Royal Canin Urinary S/O food only, as he may have a tendency to block if he eats any other food. This is a high-quality food that we have used for years and have had not even one single recurrence as long as they stay on this diet! Gilmore is looking forward to meeting a family who will love him very soon! Perhaps there is a family that is already feeding their cat Urinary S/O food - he'd love to join!! On August 10, 2021, Gilmore went to be fostered with Rocky, another DunRoamin cat. Thank you to this family for accepting him into your home while he awaits a permanent home. You are wonderful!! Gilmore is grateful to his Sponsor A Kitty friends who help provide his prescription food, medication and vet visits. We are all grateful! |

| Dazzler |
DazzlerDazzler returned to DunRoamin' on November 18, 2021. She had originally come from the Hartland area where she and several siblings had been found locked in a shed during hot summer days. She had been adopted on April 16, 2013, but had been returned as she was stressed by the noise and activity of young children. On December 4, 2014, she was adopted by a couple from Stickney, but they eventually gave her up for reasons unknown.
Dazzler was born about May 25, 2011. She is a very sweet little old lady who loves everyone. She tested positive for FeLV, but it is still not an issue at her ripe old age! Dazzler lived with several other FeLV+ cats until she was chosen by the nicest couple ever to come live with them in the Perth area. She has been diagnosed with arthritis and is now on medication to help. She visits her vet friend for an injection monthly and it has made a huge change in her comfort level. Dazz has recently been diagnosed as diabetic, so now will undergo medical care for this as well. She is doing very well - happy, healthy and enjoying being spoiled by her humans. She is fostered with another DunRoamin' FeLV+ kitten, Jacob, and they are best friends - he adores her! Dazzler keeps her humans entertained and displays her gratitude daily for all the love she has been given. She has the PERFECT retirement home! Dazzler is very grateful to her Sponsor A Kitty friends who help provide for her medical requirements. Thank you. |

| Yaeger |
YaegerYaeger came to DunRoamin' on January 17, 2023 from Somerville, NB. He had been a stray in the area for about four years but was now injured and had no one to care for him. Yaeger was born about January 17, 2014. He had several deep wounds on the side of his face that were probably self-inflicted due to the large number of parasites he was carrying which made him so itchy and uncomfortable that he scratched himself very badly in an effort to stop the pain. Much of the skin and fur were missing, especially from the left side of his face, and he hurt.
Yaeger was immediately provided with all medical care required, including parasite control. His wounds all healed well and he shows little sign of his previous injuries. He is a very nice boy who has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, but as we know, that's no big deal these days. Yaeger's wounds have healed very well. His eyes glow with gratitude now that he is pain-free, warm, safe and has such a delicious and nutritious diet. He would love to have his very own home and family - that would be a miracle to him! Please come meet him - he loves people and has lots of attitude!! He is currently fostered with three other cats in the Florenceville area and he gets along very well with all of them. He is a beautiful little boy! FIV+I have FIV, click here to see what that means for me and you. |

| Forest |
ForestForest came to DunRoamin' on December 12, 2020 from a colony of 62 that was growing unchecked.? She was born about June 13, 2019, so is a sibling to Cadeau, Eira, Amaryllis and Neige.Forest had upper respiratory infection, flea allergy dermatitis and ear mites.? She is a beautiful long-haired?grey tabby who looks forward to having a safe, warm and caring home in which to spend the remainder of her life.? Because she has never been without multiple cats in her life with whom to sleep, cuddle and play, we hope she may be adopted with a sibling so that she may feel loved and comfortable when her life changes for the better!!As of mid-January, she is still experiencing some upper respiratory symptoms and is under close supervision of her veterinarian to ensure he gets better as quickly as she can.? Had she not had this care, she would not be in a good place at all, but we were certain with the expertise of her vet, she would soon be fine and ready to go to a home of her very own.? She is currently on inhalable medication twice daily for asthma and it is possible that she may need this for life.? She stayed close to her vet for several weeks to ensure she was doing well.

| Strauss |
Strauss
Strauss came to DunRoamin' on October 28, 2014 from the Brookville area where she was one of several cats who had taken refuge in a shed. Kind neighbours had very generously taken on the task of their care and were diligent enough to notice a lump on her belly. She had an umbilical hernia which was quickly repaired when she was accepted as a DunRoamin' ward. Strauss was born about May 1, 2014. Strauss has become a very affectionate and trusting little girl. As of January 21, 2015, she is fostered with a family in Bristol. Thanks, Shawn and Mitchell, for giving her a home environment. It is most probably a very unique experience for her!
As Strauss has potential to block (ie: crystals can form in her urine, clump together and potentially block her urethra causing urine to back up into her system), she has been prescribed Royal Canin Urinary S/O food to ensure that cannot occur. She is grateful to her sponsors who help provide her food, medications, vaccines and routine care. |

| Ollie |
Ollie
Ollie came to DunRoamin’ on June 4, 2025, from the Rowena area. He had been experiencing ongoing medical issues for quite some time and was stressed by the presence of other pets in the home, so he was came to us for help as a last resort. Ollie was born about April 12, 2020, and was already neutered upon his arrival. Ollie was assessed by his new vet friend who diagnosed him with hydrocephalus, a condition in which spinal fluid accumulates in the brain. Because of this, he tends to lean to one side when sitting and standing, and he also experiences nystagmus, a rapid and involuntary movement of his eyes from side to side. His vet also diagnosed him with a severe heart murmur.
Because of his medical condition, Ollie may experience seizures, so he will remain with us where we can closely monitor and provide medical care to ensure his health. To date, he is doing well and has made some friends such as Rosco and Brix who keep him company and are very respectful of his differences. Ollie is loving and appears to be happy in his new environment. Thanks to his friends, sponsors and all who have donated to our Ollie's Oasis campaign to ensure that he can receive the best of medical care. This sweet little boy will continue to get all we can give him - he has more than earned our love and respect, and we are grateful to be able to provide him with medical care, a home for as long as he wants it, and all the love we can possibly provide. |
