Bonded pairs are two cats who have lived together and formed a strong attachment, so a rescue will only adopt them out together rather than split them up. This page pulls the bonded pairs currently adoptable in Windsor from Windsor/Essex County Humane Society into one place.
Bonded pairs are frequently overlooked and wait longer in rescue, but they are often the lowest-risk way to have two cats: they already know and love each other, so you skip the hard introduction work entirely, and they keep each other company while you are out. Apply through the rescue.

Bonded Pairs in Windsor: common questions
Is it more expensive to adopt a bonded pair?
Many Windsor rescues discount the fee for a bonded pair to encourage keeping them together, so two bonded cats often cost less than two cats adopted separately. Day to day, plan on close to double the food, litter, and routine vet care of one cat. The trade-off is two companions who already get along, with none of the introduction risk of pairing strangers.
Why can't I adopt just one of a bonded pair?
Because splitting a bonded pair causes real distress to both cats, who have formed a deep attachment, so the rescue keeps them together for their welfare. The upside for you is significant: a bonded pair skips the slow, careful introduction that pairing two strangers requires, and you bring home two cats who already live happily side by side.
How do I adopt one of these cats in Windsor?
Find a cat you like here, then apply directly through the rescue that has it (Windsor/Essex County Humane Society). LocalPetFinder is a listings aggregator, not a shelter: we pull adoptable cats from Windsor-area rescues into one place and refresh them regularly, but the application and adoption happen through the rescue. Listings reflect what is genuinely available, though a cat can be adopted between refreshes.
