History
adopted brothers and sisters when my human mom became very ill.
Description:
Casey, aka Mouse, is a sweet but very shy little girl. She craves attention and love but is very scared at first and takes time to trust. She suffered something very traumatic as a young cat and now needs a very patient and loving human who can show her that humans can be kind and loving. Her foster dad is so proud of how far she has come. She is very food motivated, and he used this to help her overcome her fears. He thinks she is the sweetest little girl.
Casey must have a strong, maternal female cat in the home as she seeks that bond with another cat. In her current foster home, Casey has bonded with the resident female and watches her carefully and follows her lead.
History: A kind older gentleman set up his garage for stray cats. A mama decided she would use his space to have her kittens. Mika and Millie are two of these kittens! The kind man did his best to feed them and keep them warm but, he realized he needed to stop the cycle. He reached out to HLH so they could get spayed and neutered and have a chance at finding their forever homes.
Description: Mika and Millie are a gorgeous bonded pair of torti’s! They are both still nervous and learning about humans, so they will require a patient forever home that allows them time to blossom.
Mika loves sitting by the window looking at birds and Millie loves the cat tree. They would love to spend their time in a cat tree together, watching the outside world. Mika is always the last to eat but loves treats! You can pet and hold her but Mika may need a bit more time and patience before being held.
History:
Owner rehoming due to recently accepting teaching positions in China starting in August 2024 and found out afterwards that they will not allow them to take any pets.
Description:
Bob fits the stereotypical “Garfield” image of a ginger cat. He loves to curl up and nap, loves treats and loves cuddles. Every night, without fail, he can be counted on to come lay down between us in bed, curl up and fall asleep. His catnip mouse brings him much joy. If you are sitting on the couch reading or watching a movie, it won’t be long before Bob will be sitting on the floor next to you, staring at you with his big green eyes, eagerly waiting for you to pat your lap and invite him up. Although, often he won’t wait politely for your invitation and simply jump up on your lap and curl up for a long nap. He is a master manipulator, melting your heart by curling up on his back, offering you his tummy for a rub, and staring soulfully into your eyes.
Lupinha was very aptly named – like a little wolf she is extremely loyal and devoted to her pack. When she feels she’s had enough of your cuddles and kisses and wants to break free, she will start with tiny, low growls, or even still a high pitched howl… but she’s never scratched or bitten anyone, even when she is intensely playing and hunting our hands or feet. She loooooves to be brushed. When she hears the bristles of her brush she will come running, and roll around, begging for you to brush her again and again. She has even started to run towards me when I am sweeping the floor, asking to be swept as well. She loves playing with paper balls – parchment paper ones are her favourite and she will pounce on them, carry them around the house in her mouth, and of course lose them under furniture and come running to you, begging you to rescue them or make her a new one. She will look at you with the most insulted glare if you dare try feeding her a treat or wet food, but catnip – she loves eating and smelling it!
History: Oliver had her life turned upside down when her only owner passed away & she had to leave the only home she’s ever known. She was surrendered to Hope Lives Here in hopes someone else can take her in to give the love & attention she needs.
Description: It did take awhile for Oliver to come out of hiding & out of her shell when she arrived at her new foster home. Once she did she really blossomed! Now that she’s comfortable she loves to talk, be petted, play, & just be wherever you are. Although she loves pets she is not a big fan of being picked up & held. Oliver does tend to be easily scared which was not helped by another foster cat that liked to hide & jump out to scare her so it’s best Oliver is the only pet in the house. Oliver’s ideal home is one where someone is home most of the time & who loves to have a companion to follow around & talk about your day with. Is that you?
Loki History: born onto a farm
Micah History: found along a highway
Description: Hi, our names are Loki and Micah! My foster family originally called me ‘Little Orange Kitty’ … which quickly became Loki, for short!
I really like my foster dad, once I jump onto his lap he will stay in his chair until my nap is over
Recently, Micah joined our foster home … she and I immediately became best friends 
Where I will be shy to start with, Micah is a purring machine as soon as she sees you! That’s why I like her so much!
Micah and I have ‘zoomies’ throughout the day. Then we have long naps … to prepare for our next play time!
We are looking for the purr-fect home, where we can stay together forever. 
Loki is a trapped farm cat, she was born on the farm. She had a litter of kittens… but it was so cold, they passed away almost immediately 
Micah … her rescuer saw her on the side of a bridge on morning when she was driving to work. Early last April. Took a few minutes, but she caught her … she was pregnant and had road rash
She is a purring machine
Loki and Micah became instant best friends. They are both small, adult female cats. They were meant to find each other
! Just like the meerkat from the Lion King, I am the tiniest and the daintiest of the crew, but that doesn’t stop my loud personality. I love to play and wrestle with my brothers or, hopefully, another cat in my new forever home. When I’m not playing and winning my humans’ hearts with my adorable antics, I love to cuddle up on their laps or sunbathe on my favorite scratching post.
History: She was rescued from a farm west of the city with her 6 babies.
Description: Hi, I’m Nala! I’m a farm cat at heart. I’m used to fending for myself so I do get startled with sudden loud noises. I do, however, love my people and purr super loud when brushed or pet. I’m not much of a lap cat and am still unsure about being picked up, but I’ll lay beside you on the couch. I did such an amazing job raising my babies, now it’s time for me to find my special home!
History: Part of the feral 15
Description: Minnow was the most confident of the feral 15, when we met him in January. He is still a little scared of people but loves to play. Minnow is starting to explore the house and is gaining confidence. This handsome boy’s favorite activities include watching videos for cats on YouTube and staring out the window at the birds
History:
Found as kittens in the streets of Edmonton. This beautiful bonded pair was taken in by HLH and placed with wonderful fosters. The boys have thought they found their forever home twice. But, by no fault of their own, were returned both times due to changes in adopters circumstance.
Description:
The boys are extremely loving cats. Bob likes to follow you around where ever you go and wants to be doing what you’re doing. If you stand still, he is doing figure eights between your legs. Both Bob and CG love to cuddle. Whether it’s sitting on your legs or curled up on your lap. CG is the one who will get up on your bed or come sit with you when you watch tv. CG is extremely talkative. He’s not the loudest cat in the world but, you can have full conversations with him.
They also really like watching things outside. A cat tree by the window would be lovely. They do get scared when there’s a lot of noises or sudden movements but as long as they have somewhere to hide, they’re okay. They just prefer a calm environment. Don’t let CG’s resting grumpy face fool you, he’s a sweetheart. They are extremely easy cats to live with, they just want to do things on their own time. They’re so so loving and very unique, they have just had some bad luck in finding the right person or family.
History: brought in as a stray
Description: Owen is a super friendly cat that just melts into a puddle when receiving pets. He has survived outside for an unknown amount of time but, the outdoor life really did not suit his temperament. He is a nervous guy and hides if there is too much activity or noise.
But, when coaxed out of his hiding place, Owen is very interactive and sweet. He will rub up on the dog and is friendly with the cats in his foster home. He is also gorgeous with his Maine-Coon like mane of hair and his big Yellow eyes!! He is a big, solid boy! A gentle giant!
History of the animal: Monty’s owner passed away. The dog was taken by family but, Monty was left abandoned at the home. Sadly, the landlord was going to throw him out to fend for himself. The neighbor was facing putting him down if she couldn’t find a place for him. (Thank you so much to our rescue.)
Description: Monty is a very sweet & gentle soul. He has absolutely no aggression & loves people. He will greet you when you come home & be your little buddy as you do errands around the house. He loves to be near people and will come asking for pets & scratches. He also likes to people watch if you set up a cozy area in front of the windows. He has so much love to give and in return he deserves to be loved in a wonderful home to live out his golden years.
Kittens are always the first to be adopted and seniors are often overlooked. We know Monty will be a wonderful addition to your home so we offer his Adoption Fee to be By Donation. But truthfully, he’s priceless.
History: Owner surrender
Description: Bambi is a chill little lady who wants to be around her people. She enjoys following her foster family around the house and making sure to be a part of the action. Though she is not a fan of being picked up, she will throw herself on the floor or stretch out nice and long to get all the pets. She especially loves running water and drinks from her water fountain often.
She will look for a comfortable place, especially in her cat tree, to chill, curl up and watch the world through her exotic, slanted eyes or have a sweet cat nap.
She thoroughly enjoys attention, but needs a family who understands boundaries while she settles in to the home as she can be shy at first. She is good with other cats. Bambi will be the best companion to her new family and is excited to meet them soon!
History : She was abandoned outside of Sherwood Park and found her way to HLH
Description: If you are looking for a life partner of the feline kind, then Gracie can be your forever companion.
She is extremely affectionate and knows nothing about personal space. Gracie is a very enthusiastic biscuit maker/ massage therapist. You do have to be very accepting of the fact that you will never do anything alone again. She just wants to be where you are, where the food is, and where she can get all the attention.
Her foster mom wants people to know that if you are thinking about adopting her, you must be aware that she is a bolter. If the door is open, she will try to bolt outside. She would do very well with a catio.
History: A kind older gentleman set up his garage for stray cats. A mama decided she would use his space to have her kittens. Bobby is one of these kittens! The kind man did his best to feed them and keep them warm but, he realized he needed to stop the cycle. He reached out to HLH so they could get spayed and neutered and have a chance at finding their forever homes.
Description: Bobby is the one who always comes out first for pets, so get ready to give lots of scratches and snuggles. He is a lover of food and those fluffy toy balls to chase and bat around. He always likes to sleep in the hole of the cat tree and likes small spaces like boxes. He is amazing around his foster families dog, so even a dog in the home could be a companion!
History: I was surrendered by my owners
Description:
Hi, my name is Twizzler. I am a big burly boy who loves to snuggle and be around my humans. I am very social and love to chat. When I’m not busy snuggling up, I love to sit on the window sill to sunbath and chirp at the birds. My favourite toys are wand toys with big feathers. My eyes light up when my foster mom gets the toy out and I go into hunt mode. Do I seem like the perfect addition to join your family?
