When 7 year old Boots arrived about five months ago, he was a very nervous, terrified and aggressive boy. He had many triggers and would snap at me and go into attack mode on a daily basis. With time, lots of patience and love, Boots learned to trust me and his daily fits of aggressive…
Handsome Ricky crossed the Rainbow Bridge one year ago on Aug. 31, 2019. He had joined our family just 3 1/2 years before. When he left us, he was only 13 years old and still full of beans. He was so dashing, playful, loving, and super smart. He really “liked the ladies”. He loved greeting…
Congrats on your gotcha day, August 29, 2020🎈 Happy and spoiled.
Double the Fun Born in early May, 3 1/2 month old siblings, Delphine (black and white) and her brother Francois (grey and white) are purring machines. A mere glance can get them started, and petting most certainly gets their motors revved. Having had a rough start has probably contributed to their intense bonding; playing, cuddling…
It’s with much sadness and a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our beautiful boy Ti-loup who passed away August 8th. He was 14 yrs old and terminally ill. We didn’t want him to suffer so now he joins all the other doggies on the rainbow bridge. He was always such a happy boy,…
A SALUTE TO SERGEANT This strikingly handsome boy’s life on the streets has ended! At just over a year old, this healthy, playful boy has learned to trust humans and will willingly sit next to you on the sofa to watch T.V. Sergeant was probably never the captain in his ranks because he loves to…
Surrendered to Gerdy’s at sixteen plus years old, this lovely senior girl has found her forever home. She will be loved and cared for until the end with a huge fenced yard to roam in and dog siblings to curl up with.
Oslo came into our life on July 10th 2020 as an unexpected rescue. Oslo was seen trying to dig something out of the ground and we stopped what we were doing and started feeding him. Right off the bat, he allowed us to pet him and we were able to put him in a carrier right…
THERE IS A LOT TO KNOW ABOUT 14-YEAR-OLD NALA BUT THE MOST CRITICAL THING IS: SHE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME NOW. Nala has been a permanent fixture on our “dogs for adoption” page for over a year. Throughout the year she has been happy and loved in her foster home while waiting for the right match…
BELLE, BELLA, BELISSIMA!This beauty could make it onto the cover of a cat Vogue magazine, with her emerald green eyes and luxurious coat. Albeit, after she drops a few lbs.! Belle is a quiet little girl who LOVES her food and squeaks like a kitten when she’s hungry. The squeak gets progressively louder when the…
A big thanks to Gerdys Rescue for allowing me to open my home to Layla. Her kind and sweet personality is unlike any other. She adores cuddles and chasing her kibbles around the house. I am beyond amazed of the work this rescue does in helping dogs and cats get their second chance at life 💕…
NO MORE MR. TOUGH GUY Bad luck forced Levi to spend three years on the streets having to play tough. Sweet-natured Levi had to scavenge for his next meal and defend himself for survival. Plucked out of an alley by his rescuers, this boy’s luck has just changed and things are starting to look up.…
GOT CATS? BRING THEM ON. If your cat or cats need a pal, she’s your girl. Strong, beautiful Charlotte was brought in from a life on the street and is surprisingly affectionate. When Charlotte craves to be petted, she lets you know by giving extreme head butts! And, although with time and patience she is…
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME. THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME. This is Sanders’ mantra after being a Verdun alley cat for many years. Missing the human company that he craved, he has a lot to say and many stories to tell. Now that he is in a warm and cozy foster home, the floodgates have…
Hi Gerdy & friends!Simon here! You probably remember me as Goliath but my mom only uses that name when I’ve managed to sneak some human food. It goes something like this : ” SIMON. GOLIATH. BALDRY.” Anyhoo, it’s been almost 4 years ago that you helped to find this family for me. They are so…
It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that our adored Fannie (the Basset) passed away earlier this year. We had twelve and a half plus wonderful years with our girl thanks to your efforts in rescuing her. Attached is a photo of a pose we would see regularly indicating she would like…
Winston is such a happy boy … he still dances when his leash comes out and he loves to walk his neighborhood. Burrow toys are his favourite but he enjoys chasing/catching his ball even though he is sketchy about bringing it back – he figures I should have to chase him to get it back. …
Can’t believe it’s been 2 1/2 years since this one eyed pirate stole my heart! He’s wonderful and shows no deficit due to missing the one eye. His favourite pastime is playing in the park with all his friends and he puts up with long walks for my sake. The only lab that I know of that…
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CROSS A PUG WITH A CHIHUAHUA? The answer is EMMA💕🐾 This Chug embodies all of the great qualities of both breeds. This fun girl adores her humans, long walks and a yard to sniff around in and explore. But really what she loves most are TOYS, not necessarily to play with but…
Very sadly we lost our little Whiskey on July 09 2020. He was brought into our life by Gerdy 10 years ago.Unfortunately his health has deteriorated very rapidly. He was diagnosed with severe diabetes about one year ago.He offered us 10 years of total happiness because he was absolutely adorable. It’s very painful to think…
Dahlia has blossomed! She wasn’t too sure about us at first but with some play, treats and affection she realized we weren’t so bad after all. She now softly mews to let us know she needs pets and a nice warm blanketed lap to nap on. My spouse and I are so glad to have…
This is Mika (aka M’Amour). I have had dogs all my life and after the devastating loss of our last fur baby (a Gerdy dog) we decided to adopt a cat. Mika won our hearts and after a few initial hurdles she has completely integrated into our family. She is such a sweet, gentle, affectionate…
When I spoke with Sandy who originally rescued Domino (Our Leo), I knew that it would take some work to help Leo feel comfortable in our home. The first day he arrived, he hid and didn’t move for hours and hours. Our hearts broke for him, he was terrified. Over the past month, we gave…
My daughter and I fell in love the moment we saw her and now we can not imagine our home without that beautiful little girl. I can’t thank you enough for trusting me to be a forever humom to that beautiful older baby. Just wish more people would consider adopting older cats for they are…
FRANCO NAPS AND CUDDLES LIKE IT’S HIS FULL TIME JOB! This young, handsome dude is in the market for a human who wants to take on a fiercely loyal and affectionate feline companion. This heart-throb is a chest snuggler, who purrs for head pats and who will follow you everywhere. Franco is a champion napper,…
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS GUY’S LIFE? Russell’s been busy these past few years surviving life on the street and waiting for the perfect you to show up. He’s been around the block a few times and is now is very clear about what he likes and doesn’t like. A warm bed, three squares…
Since coming into my house, Jackie has proceeded to make it his own, as evidenced by the generous amount of white fur left all over black furnishings and flooring. He absolutely has no respect for my personal space, but won’t stand for me invading his. Heaven forbid I lock the bathroom door, but six months…
Semi feral brother and sister found outside in Pierrefonds. Foster worked with them for 6 months. Max tame but Mia fearful. Adopter took bonded pair and after 6 months, Mia will now sit on his lap.
Max and Mia came to me via another foster after being rescued as part of a TNR effort (which explains their notched ears). Max began as the cuddlier of the two, but now, my primary job seems to be making a lap for them, often at the same time. I love that they spend some…
Il est très intelligent et docile , écoute bien les commandements, aime prendre des marches. Il est en forme pour un chien de 14 ans! ~Lise H.
Little Lexi completed our family in October of last year. She was so scared and timid when she first arrived but over this last 8 months has improved leaps and bounds with the help of her two older brothers Cookie and Cody. Her personality is really coming out and a typical girl is starting to…
In the photo below are our 2 beautiful boys Gus and Tux, who we were very fortunate to adopt 2 years ago. It didn’t take long for them to settle in and become best buddies. Both Gus and Tux are gentle, sweet, happy and healthy cats and a wonderful addition to our family. Thank you…
Daisy was 8 years old when she came to us and now has been part of the family for almost 2 years. Bold and confident, she marched in like she owned the place. Her foster mom told me that the kitchen was Daisy’s favourite room in the house and she was right! She loves her…
The best words to describe Alfie are happy, happy, happy. What a change from when he first came as a foster with his sister Tia. They were both terrified and hid under the dining room table for weeks. Once he trusted me though, he adapted very nicely. After his sister was adopted, he learned to…
Sweet, little Rosie (aka Mindy) has been with me for almost three years. She was around 6 years old when I adopted her, a timid soul who had a rough beginning. She was terrified of everything. Her progress was slow and tentative and although she’s still shy and skittish, she’s come a long, long way.…
Lily (formerly Sister) began as a foster, but we quickly knew we needed to make her a permanent addition to the family. It took her a while to adjust, but now she is the queen of her castle. She spends her days playing with her fur brothers and sisters and sun bathing. She has been a…
Tyson has been such an amazing addition to our family. He and our golden doodle Lucy, get along famously! So much so, they’re the inspiration behind a new cartoon on Instagram called “Lucy and Tyson” We are so happy he came into our lives; he makes us laugh all the time. We love him❤️ –…
Meet the new and improved Dahlia and what a sweetheart she has become!Dahlia’s first 12 years were very sad ones; she lived in a home where she had food, water and litter and that is it. No love, no cuddles, no petting, no play, absolutely no interaction whatsoever. As a result, she lived in a…
I remembered that I had left the television on and went back to the room to turn it off. I found Larry lounging on the sofa and watching cartoons on TV. It was the first time I saw Larry hang loose like this … I am very happy to see that he feels comfy in…
Crosby has been doing great in his new home!! It took him a while to get comfortable but his kind, sweet personality has really come out. Everyone who meets him loves him and he is especially loved by his family. He loves to cuddle and is happy anywhere as long as humans are around ❤️…
Beau is eating well and is a sweet snuggle-puss. His blindness is not a problem. He knows the house, the stairs and the back garden by heart. Adopting Beau was Best thing I did in a long while. –Suzanne
Oreo & Bear have brought such joy to my life! Oreo (black and white) loves to eat and sleep and to receive lotttts of cuddles. She is also the big sister in the house and Bear follows whatever she is doing. Bear is curious and loves to play, especially with soft balls and ropes. She…
Gerdy and Marilyn, thank you so much for choosing us as Champ’s forever family. Adopted in September 2019, Champ, nine now has adapted incredibly well to our routine and is the king of the house. He makes us laugh everyday and is keeping us sane through this pandemic. Would have gone completely crazy without him. Keep…
EASY PEASY ❤️ It’s a mystery as to why this laid-back guy hasn’t yet found that one person who will love him forever. Baby’s delicate features and wispy white coat bring to mind a Cottonelle ad. His dreamy bedroom eyes make us feel that he is vulnerable and needs taking care of but make no mistake, Baby is…
