About Us

We are a rescue and sanctuary for abandoned, stray and feral cats and kittens.
We are 100% volunteer run - we have a wonderful network of foster homes and 2 private facilities (that are not open to the general public)
Rescue cats that are available for adoption can be seen on our website as well as on display at Pet Valu in Strathmore (one cat at a time) and at PetSmart Sunridge location in NE Calgary. If there is a cat or kitten that you would be interested in adopting please send us a completed questionnaire, once approved we can then arrange for you to meet the cat by appointment.
We have an adoption center open to the general public during hours posted on our Facebook page. A few cats that are ready for adoption will be displayed there. Please come visit them at 118, 2nd avenue, Strathmore Alberta.

Adoptable Cats

Big Dude

Approx 7 yr old. Funny, entertaining and playful boy who came to us over a year ago as a severely obese cat. He has lost close to 10lbs since being put on a strict diet and daily exercise. You can meet Big Dude at our adoption centre, he gets free run of the place 24/7 and is looking for a forever home 🙂

Jazzy and Sassy

Brother and sister. These are 2 of the 3 cats that were found over winter tossed from a vehicle and left frozen in the snow. Their sister Lizzy unfortunately had to be humanely euthanized as her internal injuries and shattered pelvis were too much for her little body to handle any longer. Our volunteers fought hard for her. Sassy and Jazzy are VERY shy. We suspect they were not handled much, if at all as young kittens. They do not trust strangers and will usually just stay frozen still. We are looking for a foster or forever home that is calm, patient and understanding of shy cats and willing to give them the time and dedication to further helping them adjust. They are both very healthy cats! Can be held, good with other cats.

Available to meet at Happy Cat Adoption Centre

Loulou

Very sweet, older cat who is looking for a nice and quiet home. Loulou has a neurological condition that sometimes affects her stability. She has passed all of her veterinary physicals.

Bella

4yrs old approx DSH grey and white
This independent little lady is actually quite a sweet girl. She was surrendered earlier this year and needed quite a few months of work to help her deal with her problems. We are happy to report that Bella no longer seems to have the issues that lead her to being surrendered, she is quite happy - all she needs to maintain that happiness is a very quiet home with no kids, and no other pets. She tolerates her cat neighbors at happy cat adoption centre but she would be much more herself alone. She will make someone a really amazing companion or therapy cat as she is very in tune with people's emotions.
Currently at our adoption centre

Jojo

Approx 4-5yr old male, DSG orange tabby - large size!
Jojo was surrendered to us early 2024. He came to us in a pretty distraught state - his owner who loved him was no longer able to care for him and Jojo did not do well with the change. It took us months to be able to handle him :( but during that time, he got all of his vet care done and he learned that we were his friends. You can now find Jojo being swaddled by volunteers like a baby in their arms or just cuddled in their lap. He seems to really enjoy other cats now too so we may look at putting him into one of our communal cat rooms to see how he does. Jojo would also make an exceptional farm cat - his size, strength and ability to come when called by name or treat shaking is a good trait for those farm kitties to have. Whether he is adopted as a loved indoor cat or a loved working farm/shop cat we think he will be happy.

Nova, D.O.B April, Female

Quiet but affectionate little cat. Gets along great with other cats and loves people once she knows them. Would do well in most homes.
At HCS adoption centre

Alina - Approx 1yr old, Female (mama to 5 kittens this summer)

Sweet Alina - amazing mama very deserving of her forever home. Alina still lovingly takes care of the kittens that haven't been adopted yet. Before she had her kittens Alina was super easy going - fine with cats, kids and dogs. After she had her kittens she was a little protective and had to be separated from everything in her foster home. Now that her kittens are older we can see that she is calming down again and her gentle, patient nature is returning.
At PetSmart Sunridge

Dorian - DSH Black and White, Male DOB June

Wonderful little cat, born at our foster home in June. His mom is Alina. Dorian is just an all around, well adjusted kitten who would do amazing in pretty much any home. he is excellent with kids, other pets and is a lot of fun to have around.
At Happy cat adoption centre

Azi, DSH Black and white Male DOB June

Another one of Alina's kittens who is a wonderful kitten. You can find him getting into all sorts of fun. Azi enjoys helping the volunteers clean, by chasing the broom and supervising litter scooping. Loves people, kids, other pets. Would do well in any home.
At Happy Cat adoption centre.

Drusilla - 7 mths, Female, DSH Black and white

Drusilla is an energetic, playful, and super outgoing kitty. When she was first found outside by her rescuer/foster she had a raspy meow but she's now healthy as a kitten can be and has very much found her voice!

She will get along with any other cat or person and wants to play 24/7. She is also extremely curious and will probably explore every inch of her new home right away.

If something isn't right she will make sure to tell you. She isn't afraid to voice her grievances. On the other hand, her purr is soothing and her foster home said they lost track of how many times it has put them to sleep.
Currently at PetSmart

Beasley Male, DSH Grey. Polydactyl

ON HOLD - You will never find Beasley far from his brother's side. In an ideal world we would like these two kept together but for the right home we will consider separating them.
Beasley is bold and confident.
Loves snuggles when he is not in play mode.
