Gin's Profile

Hi, I’m Gin!

The staff at the OHS call me a Poet! Did you know that Poets thrive in calm, stable environments? When things are a little too new and different, these kitties have a hard time showing their true personalities. Because Poets find change so hard, they usually like lots of safe places to hide and high perches to rest on. While each Poet is a little different, things that usually bring them out of their shell include playing with their favourite toys, eating some of their favourite treats, and seeking attention from their favourite people. During periods of change, Poets need a safe refuge where they be surrounded by these favourite things.

Poets can have different preferences, and it might take a little while to figure them out. Some Poets prefer play interactions where they can stalk and hunt in a fun game with you, while others may enjoy curling in your lap for a cozy snooze. While you may not see a lot of them at first, they’ll be thinking of you… and after they settle in, you’ll think they’ve always belonged


I am currently relaxing in a foster home as I wait for my forever family. Please contact an adoptions staff to book an appointment to meet me!

If you are interested in setting up an appointment to adopt me, please complete an adoption application at https://ottawahumane.ca/adopt/adoption-application/. Please be advised that although we do offer on-the-spot-adoptions, this is dependent on appointment schedules and cannot be guaranteed.

Items you must have with you:


Proof of Address
Photo ID
Collar
Animal Carrier

A leash, collar and any of your other pet supply needs can be purchased at the time of adoption. We have an excellent selection of these items in our Buddy & Belle Boutique, and proceeds from your purchases support the animals at the OHS.I’m technically a senior, but the staff here at the OHS call me vintage. I’m a [YEAR OF BIRTH] model, equipped with all the kitty bells and whistles and a state of the art no cost adoption fee – that’s right, no adoption fee! I’m parked at the OHS’s “lot”, stop by today for a visit!
