Helping the Animals,
Making a Difference

What do we do?

Niagara Action for Animals’ mission is to advocate for all animals through education and community outreach. We envision a compassionate society that respects the innate worth of all animals.

Switching to a healthy vegan diet not only saves the lives of animals, it could save your own life, and the future of our planet.

Odin

Female. Gray-Blue, short hair. Vaccinations up to date. Spayed. Good in homes with calm large-breed dogs.

DOB: January 4th 2025

Sloan is a quiet and independent girl. She wants attention and affection when she wants it and will make sure you know when it is time for her to get it. It is all on her terms or nothing at all with this lovely girl.

Sloan is very attached to her younger foster siblings and will often be found in the middle of a cuddle puddle with all of them. She adores snuggling with them and loves playing with them even more.

Sloan is very spunky and full of life, she will provide you with hours of entertainment.

Sloan can be spooked by loud noises and high activity so a home without young children would be ideal. She gets along well with all other cats and calm dogs and would benefit from another feline companion to keep her company and play with.

Adoption fee $150. Niagara Region Adoptions Only
