There’s a “very cute, very sweet” eight-year-old female domestic shorthair mix cat named Noor who was surrendered to the Toronto Humane Society in December and would love to find her forever home.

“She’s gentle, thoughtful and observant,” said humane society spokesman Lucas Solowey.

“She does take a bit of time to warm up and prefers a slow, calm approach to new people and environments. She enjoys quiet interaction and shows affection through leaning in for pets and rubbing against surfaces and hands.”

Solowey said this mature feline isn’t interested in toys, but she is “curious about scents such as catnip” and “she can be sensitive to loud noises or sudden movement, but does settle in with a patient and calm presence. And she’s a sweet kitty.”

Adoption fees have been waived

Noor has arthritis, which require monthly injections that will be provided with the adoption package, and her prescribed diet includes both wet tuna and dried food to support her urinary health.

“Her adoption fees have been waived due to these medical needs, but all of that is gone over in more details on how to care for her,” said Solowey.

“But she’s a very sweet pet and if you have some patience to help with the treatment, it should be no issue.”

Solowey said a home with older kids “who aren’t super rambunctious” would suit Noor.

“I’d say the key word is a calm home environment,” he said, adding it doesn’t matter if it’s rural or urban.

‘Low-stress’ environment preferred

As for other pets already at the home?

“Potentially, as long as they don’t startle her and they let her have her space,” said Solowey.

“A low-stress, quiet home, just where she can feel safe and comfortable. I’d say if you just give her some interaction, she will be warm, she will be affectionate over time and especially when she feels settled. She can offer a lot of love in return.”
