150 days and Lou is starting to take it personally.
He came in young, fluffy and confident. He figured he was handsome, charming and an all around solid catch. But after 150 days without being chosen, the self esteem is beginning to take a hit. 😿 Is it the hair? Is he not fluffy enough? Has he completely misread his own level of attractiveness? 🙀 Lou is only 1 year old. We’ve had him neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and negative for FIV/FeLV. He gets along with other cats, he’s chill, affectionate, fluffy and has done absolutely nothing to explain why he’s still here. At this point, Lou would just like to know what the problem is?? Someone take this guy home and turn his frown upside down!

~ADOPTION PENDING~

Oh boy this is a special one. 🥲 Sheriff had an extended stay at the shelter after arriving with several pretty bad injuries. At one point he was even facing a possible toe amputation - a first for the shelter! Thankfully, he healed beautifully and will be leaving with all adorable toe beans intact. 🐾 When Sheriff first arrived, he was scared, shut down and in rough shape. He has completely transformed into the most loving, playful and funny guy. He became a fast staff favourite.. so much so that we genuinely debated keeping him as our second shelter cat. 🙈 But now that he’s fully healed, it’s time for him to find a home of his own. Sheriff is estimated to be 2-3 years old. We’ve had him neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and he tested negative for FIV/FeLV. He gets along well with the other cats and absolutely loves people preferably people who don’t mind him reaching up to remind them when he needs attention.
He’s a solid 10/10 and we’re reluctantly willing to share him with someone special. 🖤

GOOD NEWS: ADOPTION PENDING ❤️🥳

💔 After 14 years, suddenly everything she knows is gone. 💔

Sandy is a beautiful 14 year old spayed female who has spent her entire life with the same owner. She has always been an only cat, deeply loved and well cared for. She even lived alongside her owner in a seniors’ home, where she was so quiet and well mannered that the staff all came to know and love her too. Unfortunately, a change in her owner’s living situation has forced them apart. Giving Sandy up was never something her owner wanted to do and to say they are both devastated is an understatement. 💔 Sandy is in beautiful shape for 14 and has no known health concerns. She loves people and is accustomed to a quiet, comfortable life but she is so upset in the shelter. She cannot tolerate being around other cats and simply doesn’t understand why after 14 years her whole world has changed.

We desperately want to get this senior girl back into the kind of life she knows as quickly as possible!! A quiet, comfortable home where she can be the only animal, with someone who has a soft spot for a senior who needs them. 🙏🙏

‼️Please share, tag your biggest cat loving friends and help us get Sandy out of the shelter. She’s had a home for 14 years, she shouldn’t have to spend her senior years wondering where it went.

Trauma doesn’t just live in the past — it often shows up in the middle of daily life, sometimes when you least expect it.

You may notice it in your:
Sleep — restless nights, early morning waking, or feeling exhausted no matter how much you rest.
Energy — feeling drained, unmotivated, or struggling to get through your day.
Work — difficulty focusing, falling behind, or feeling overwhelmed by what used to feel manageable.
Relationships — pulling away from others, feeling disconnected, or becoming easily triggered.
Emotions — waves of sadness, irritability, numbness, or feeling like things “just happened” all over again.

Trauma can quietly affect every part of your life, even long after the original event. But you don’t have to navigate these experiences alone.

Healing is possible with the right support.
If you’re ready to talk to someone who understands the weight you’ve been carrying, we’re here to help you find relief, clarity, and a path forward.

Healing is deeply personal, and that’s why our 1:1 therapy sessions are designed entirely around you: your pace, your comfort, and your unique experiences.

At Dara Counselling & Wellness, we use evidence-based approaches like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help you process trauma safely and gently. EMDR can reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories, helping you feel more grounded, in control, and connected to yourself again.

What sets us apart?
Our sessions take place in a quiet, home-like space that feels warm, welcoming, and safe, so you can relax, breathe, and focus on healing without the clinical feel of a typical office environment.

Whether you’re working through trauma, stress, or long-held patterns, your 1:1 sessions are a place to:
✔️ Build emotional awareness
✔️ Strengthen coping skills
✔️ Reclaim your sense of safety
✔️ Move toward lasting healing

When you’re ready, we’re here to support your next step. 💙
