Volunteers raised over $1900 selling baked goods and gently used pet accessories at the Bancroft Village Playhouse.
All money goes to the animals because there are no salaries paid and no shelter to pay for.
Pets are fostered in volunteers’ homes until they are adopted.
Wagging tails are gratitude enough for volunteers. The huge support of the Bancroft community is icing on the cake.
Thank you Bancroft!
Karina Vega and Christine Walker manned the pet accessories booth.
Some available-for-adoption Great Pyrenees puppies delighted shoppers with free kisses.

Happy Tales: Otis
Click to Enlarge
Home Again displayed kittens at the Maynooth Christmas 2023 Market where Otis was adopted by Barb and Clayton, who report this about him:
“Otis has found a wonderful place in our home and having him is such a joy. He is so playful and rambunctious and has such an adventurous personality. He is always getting into things and following us or our other cats around. He really enjoys watching the fish and hamsters through the glass as well as

getting into any spot he can such as the cupboard, the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink, the empty mop bucket, the closet, inside Christmas presents while we are trying to wrap them, in bags or boxes, in shoes, he has fallen into the toilet several times no matter how many times we put the toilet seat down, in the trash can, even in the fridge every time it is opened. So we always keep an eye out, ha-ha.

“He is a small ball of mischief for sure! He loves playing with the other cats and even the dogs. Our elderly cat Tommy is not too interested in play, so they just cuddle. He loves toys so our house is covered in cat toys – feather ones, string ones, cat balls and bells. He loves treats and raw meats like venison and fish from the lake. He likes frosting too and is always trying to sneak some when we aren’t looking (he’s not very successful).
He likes to sit in windows and watch the birds.
“Overall Otis has been such a wonderful addition to our little family and he has brought so much joy and happiness to our lives. He sleeps in our bed and naps in our laps. He is growing into such a beautiful cat and we enjoy seeing his little personality develop in our new year!”
Who is more entertaining – kittens or puppies?
CATS FOR SENIORS
Home Again expands its services to include one for seniors who want the companionship of a cat but want to ensure the cat will have a home if the cat outlives the senior person.
The senior pays no adoption fee because he/she would take a Home Again cat that would otherwise not be adopted because of the cat’s age or unsocial nature.
The senior would pay for the cat’s food, litter and veterinary care, for life. If the senior passes away before the cat, Home Again brings the cat back into the program available for the next senior.
This program would allow Home Again to save so many cats that need to be re-homed because their owner died or went into a nursing home and the cat is used to a quiet home without any other pets. Adult cats are difficult to re-home because they like what they are accustomed to. If a cat lives without other cats, they strongly object to re-homing into a house with cats.
All Home Again fosters have other cats, so soloist cats cannot be fostered by Home Again. This program is a winner for many needy cats, seniors, and the people who must help seniors settle their affairs.
Call Home Again’s cat manager Clarice Smith, 613-202-2258 if you need a cat to love or you need to re-home a senior cat into a like-home.
