He is a very lovable bunny, who likes being held. He is very sweet and has been enjoying his foster home and bunny friends there. Winston is male. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/d6e4ba11-1a0d-47fd-81a6-225035e6fec5/bruno3.jpg Adoptable Animals - Bruno With us since: May 2025 Bruno came to us with a reported broken leg. He was examined at our vet and monitored at our office and he has had no leg issues. Bruno has been very timid since he has come to us, but he is slowly opening up! He likes pets and scratched behind his ears. He also loves to sit in the windows and watch everything. He does very well with the other cats. Bruno is shy and will need someone to give him time to open up! He would most likely prefer a quieter home. Bruno is approx. 2 years old, fully vaccinated and neutered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/70be853d-5ce9-4544-939c-b0f3695052d2/b18ee282-ca86-47c5-8756-a5cd552308f4+%281%29.jpg Adoptable Animals - June Bug With us since: August 2025 June Bug is a gentle, shy soul who prefers a quiet life and plenty of personal space. He came to us with an upper respiratory infection and a possible throat blockage, but after thorough veterinary care and treatment, he has made a full recovery. June Bug is happiest tucked into the cozy cubby holes of the office cat tree, where he can relax and watch the world from a safe distance. He doesn’t mind the company of other cats and coexists peacefully with them, but he takes his time warming up to people. He’ll need a patient adopter who can give him the space and understanding he needs to slowly build trust. Because of his sensitive nature, June Bug would do best in a very calm home with no children—a quiet, steady environment where he can feel safe and be himself. If you’re looking for a low-key, gentle companion with a soft heart, June Bug may be the perfect match. June Bug is approx. 5 years old, fully vaccinated and neutered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/cc3b799b-6157-47a8-887f-32a401cfd746/IMG-4837.jpg Adoptable Animals - Winston Winston was found with his buddy Schmidt (since adopted!) along the side of the road.

We took her in and Helping Hands for Animals was able to get her in to spay her, and also address her medical issues. Along with the ear infection, she had a polyp causing the infection, dental issues, and a wound on her neck. She was treated for all these and has healed very well. Gracie will needs lots of time and space to open up to humans. She has been pretty standoffish with the staff, but her finder had been able to pet her while she was living outside near her. Gracie will do best in a quieter home without dogs and small children. She does well with the other cats and likes to play with toys. Wet food is the way to her heart! Gracie is approx. 1 year old, spayed, and fully vaccinated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/d6e4ba11-1a0d-47fd-81a6-225035e6fec5/bruno3.jpg Adoptable Animals - Bruno With us since: May 2025 Bruno came to us with a reported broken leg.

When she came to us, she was malnourished and had a vaginal infection, but after treatment and care, she’s fully recovered and thriving! This playful girl loves zooming around with her toys and hanging out with other kittens. She also has a soft spot for treats and doesn’t mind a little love and attention in between her energetic play sessions. Chappel is looking for a fun, patient home where she can run, play, and be adored on her own terms. Chappel is approx. 4 months old, fully vaccinated and spayed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/5534c48c-cb6b-4b5c-82e1-872e6d37684b/processed_PXL_20260117_190247656.PORTRAIT%7E2.jpg Adoptable Animals - Shimmy With us since: December 8th, 2025 Shimmy came to us with multiple abscesses. He was treated and has fully recovered! He is now living happily in the main office with other cats. He is fairly independent but is always up for head scratches and pets. He loves his naps on and off human laps. The staff is totally in love with his judging eyes and Tom Cat cheeks! He is neutered and fully vaccinated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/70be853d-5ce9-4544-939c-b0f3695052d2/b18ee282-ca86-47c5-8756-a5cd552308f4+%281%29.jpg Adoptable Animals - June Bug With us since: August 2025 June Bug is a gentle, shy soul who prefers a quiet life and plenty of personal space.

His finders also reported he was passing out. He was taken to a vet and we discovered he had worms also. He weighed in at a whopping 20 pounds!! He has been treated for the worms and has recovered from the GI upset. He is working on a diet and exercise program. He is very attention motivated which makes it easy to help him get his steps in. Contrary to his size, his voice is little more than a squeak. This hefty chonk is all love and would benefit from a home where he would get lots of activity and attention. With us since: December 29th, 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/6967311f-b782-4620-8358-00b0c8b7495b/processed_PXL_20260117_193058527%7E2.jpg Adoptable Animals - Prince came to us with an upper respiratory infection but it has cleared up nicely now. He is a beautiful 2ish year old with a shy soul. He takes his good old time warming up to people. He has been cohabitating peacefully with other cats. He prefers to spend his time with June Bug in their favorite cat tree. He is most active at night and will go for leisurely walks around the office. Prince is best suited for a home without children.

This curious creature found himself in a tight spot when he was just a few weeks old. Any guesses as to where? If you guessed a car muffler then you would be correct! Ponyo was super lucky to come out unscathed. Now that he has been neutered and vaccinated he spends his days wreaking havoc in the office. He is so full of energy and loves to play all day! He would be a great addition to any household. Schedule a visit today!!

He is about 5 years old. He came in limping with an abscess on his back leg. Now he gets around as if nothing ever happened. He is a social man. He absolutely loves affection from the humans!

After multiple medications and some time, she is ready for her next adventure! She is a social and lovable kitten. She refused to stay still for her photo shoot.

He was found under a car and clearly something was wrong, so they called us. We took Shadow straight to the vet to be examined and once his fur was shaved we saw the problem. We are not exactly sure what happened, but our best guess is he was hit by something and had some extreme road burn as a result. Shadow's recovery took months, and that included a couple surgeries, many stitches and lot of medications. Shadow now lives in a wonderful home with a kitty and doggy brother that came from ORCA too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/1578354621933-YOFG9CFOLZ3GIADYO8WD/IMG_1255.jpeg Our Impact - Missy One of the most amazing rescues was a black Labrador mix, named Missy. She was abandoned in a Lancaster apartment for 16 days. When ORCA was called by the property management, we rushed to the scene. She had been locked in a tiny powder room with no food. The only source of water was the toilet with the lid up—we will never know if she pushed the lid up or was it open. Either way it saved her life. Almost dehydrated and starving to death, Missy greeted her ORCA rescuers with weak tail wags. Missy slowly recovered in the loving arms, literally, of her forever family who adopted her. Her fears turned to joy and love in her second chance in life—seen here with her mom, Mary Jean R. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/1578355170867-FVWHY5LFGZ6OEFAPTUA7/IMG_1257.jpg Our Impact - Mittens the Holiday Kitten Around the ORCA office one of our most beloved felines was Mittens the Holiday Kitten. Mittens came to us after she and her brothers were found abandoned in a field. She was a beauty and a smart gal. Indeed, so smart that after Esther P. adopted her, Mittens became rather well known. Her mom taught her how important her job was to spread the word about ORCA’s mission. And, she also taught her to dress up for each holiday. That included a special hat and often a scarf. Then, Esther would take Mittens’s picture and send a donation to ORCA. When Mittens passed away, Esther waited a while, then met Joy another ORCA kitty; they are now a pair. Joy is a smart and independent feline. She knows how to sniff out all the holidays in a month. Indeed, she has expanded Esther’s generosity by demanding that they celebrate more holidays than before—think, D-Day along with the 4th of July! Can Canada’s Boxing Day be far behind? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/1572571468058-A0L6V1I29R2K34GNSEZA/Mattie+among+the+flowers.JPG Our Impact - Mattie Mattie was in a box along the side of the road in Conestoga. A police officer called to say that something black and alive was in that wooden box. ORCA needed to come. What we found was a black mess of food, fleas, urine and feces trapped in balls all over his body. We tried to cut out the balls that Sunday. No success. He had to be shaved down professionally—it took six hours and two talented vet techs. What a raw, horrible looking dog he was. We guessed that Mattie lived in that box, ungroomed, for at least two years. Returning to the ORCA office, he shivered in his cage and refused to eat. On day four The Boss, as he called his mom on his Facebook posts, decided to take matters in her own hands literally. She had the staff smear her hands with dog food. At first he did not budge, then a sniff, a lick, a nibble. Done, by next evening he was a part of The Boss’s household. He was bright, tricky, and eager to please. He was also a fairly good writer of fuzzy stories of kittens and puppies, dogs and cats, along with a couple of rabbits, guinea pigs, and a bird or two who arrive at ORCA from time to time. Our sweet Mattie sadly passed away September 13th, 2021. He will be dearly missed. https://www.orcarescue.org/about-us daily 1.0 2026-01-23 https://www.orcarescue.org/closureforacause daily 0.75 2026-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/47b88524-6aac-4dc5-8130-d218bdbe6cef/Untitled+design+%283%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/9ff54c31-b97f-43bf-a036-5b18fccb7716/Untitled+design+%286%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d54629719c5d80001d0eda7/0aa98c07-e5ec-487a-8cba-73f31335ef73/Untitled+design+%284%29.png
