Hi, I’m Tindy! 
I don’t like being picked up, but I love weaving around your legs for pets (and maybe sneaking a treat or two). Your favorite couch spot? Yeah… it’s mine now. Don’t worry, I’ll let you squeeze in beside me. Sunshine is my jam — you’ll find me lounging in the catio or tucked into my cozy hut on the cat tree. I’m playful and curious, and I’ll happily bury my nose in the toy box until I find the perfect toy to carry off.

History:
The story begins with a brave mama cat doing everything she could to keep her little family safe in the unforgiving Alberta weather. Despite the odds, she survived—resilient, resourceful, and determined to protect not just her and her four kittens, but also a young male cat, likely papa, who stayed close by her side.
As the temperatures dropped and snow began to fall, this incredible mama did something extraordinary—she reached out in the only way she could. She began to trust the kind humans who had started feeding her, sensing that help might be just around the corner. These humans noticed her growing family and knew they couldn’t face the cold alone.
That’s when the HLH Rescue team stepped in. With the help of dedicated foster volunteers, the cats were safely and patiently trapped, gently brought indoors, and given the love and care they so desperately needed. It wasn’t easy—these were cats used to surviving, not trusting—but little by little, they learned that warmth, safety, and kindness could be a way of life.
Thanks to one mama cat’s courage and a community that cared, they are now healthy, social, and thriving. Their journey started in survival—but today, they’re ready for something more: a forever home filled with love, play, and soft places to land.
If you’re looking for companions with heart, resilience, and a whole lot of personality, they are waiting for you.
Some of the family has been adopted and now Papa Kringle, kitten Sierra and kitten Stewart are still patiently waiting their turns.
Description:
A Gentle Soul on a Journey to trust.
Kringle’s story is one of quiet courage and slow, beautiful transformation. When he was first rescued, Kringle wasn’t so sure about people. He carried himself with a cool, standoffish air—but one look into his soulful eyes told us the truth: this boy wanted to feel safe, wanted love—he just didn’t know how to accept it yet.
With patience, treats, and a small space to call his own, Kringle began to let his guard down. He discovered that warm beds, full bowls, and calm voices weren’t something to be feared—they were pretty great, actually. Watching the snow fall and birds flutter by from a cozy windowsill turned out to be just as fun as braving the outdoors, only now with the added comfort of safety.
As Kringle grew more comfortable, we introduced him to our resident cats, and he handled it like a pro. His calm, docile nature made it easy—he’s not one to start drama, just a laid-back guy who likes peace and quiet. He makes the perfect bestie of your cat is need of a companion. Now, he explores the house at his own pace, always on the hunt for the best nap spots and quiet corners. Sometimes, he even graces us with a little visit on the couch, a quiet hello—just don’t reach too fast; he’s still learning that hands can mean comfort, not fear.
Kringle doesn’t ask for much—just a calm environment, a bit of patience, and someone who will let him come out of his shell in his own time. In return, you’ll get the quiet joy of earning the trust of a truly special cat. We believe there’s still so much more to Kringle than we’ve seen—layers of love, loyalty, and even playfulness just waiting to come out in the right home.
If you’re someone with a kind heart and a gentle hand, Kringle may be your perfect match. Give him time, and he’ll give you his trust—and that’s one of the most beautiful gifts there is.

History
Trooper once had a home but was often spotted roaming a west-end neighbourhood, frequently visiting different houses. Residents would offer him food and shelter, as he seemed to spend much of his time “living rough.” After disappearing for a while, Trooper reappeared at a neighbour’s home with severe injuries—suspected to be from a coyote attack 
—that required urgent medical care. In collaboration with his owner, it was determined that Hope Lives Here could best provide the extensive treatment he needed. He was surrendered to our rescue, underwent major surgery, and has been recovering in foster care ever since.
His Story
On June 12, Trooper had surgery to amputate his broken tail, clear out infection, and remove a blood clot from his bladder. Disheveled, underweight, and covered in scratches and lacerations, he faced every step of recovery with incredible trust and resilience 
.
Trooper greets you with melodious meows 
—he’s quite the talker—and follows you faithfully, waiting for the moment you sit down so he can curl up in your lap . He’s happiest simply being near and in contact with his people . Many hours of his recovery were spent snuggled up with his foster mom, reading books 
and watching movies 
together.
A curious soul, Trooper views closed doors as puzzles to solve 
. He enjoys energetic play sessions with his toys—especially his feathered bird and wand 
—and loves to perch by the window 
, where “Charlie” the squirrel delights in teasing him 
. Above all else, Trooper’s favourite thing is sharing the couch with you. He’s equal parts lap cat and couch potato—truly a lap potato 
.
In foster care, he’s been working on harness training and learning that carriers aren’t scary 
. With patience and understanding, he has made great progress and will continue to blossom .
Trooper is now fully healed and ready for his next big adventure —a forever home where he can share all the love he has to give!

History: Shadow was found completely alone and dangerously underweight — she was rescued just in time, before a bitter cold snap she likely wouldn’t have survived. Once in care with Hope Lives Here, she began her road to recovery. Because her foster mom has an immunocompromised resident cat, Shadow spent her early weeks isolated — a tough start after already being abandoned. A brief attempt to move her to another foster home didn’t work out, as Shadow displayed signs of stress that made her uncomfortable in that busy environment. She was quickly brought back to her original foster, where she settled again and showed how well she can do in the right environment. Based on that experience, a home without small children would be the best fit for her.
Health & Behaviour: Shadow is currently taking a low dose of fluoxetine (Prozac) to help manage her anxiety, and it’s working well. We believe her quirky behaviours — including occasional moments of nervousness or overstimulation — stem from her traumatic beginnings and long periods of isolation. With the stability of her current foster and the right support, she’s making wonderful progress and showing her playful, affectionate side. Personality: Shadow is a sweet, curious, and independent girl who loves to explore and play. She adores her dollar-store wand toy and benefits from interactive play and lots of things to scratch. She gets along well with the resident cat in her foster home and often snuggles nearby — including curling up beside your legs at bedtime. She would thrive in a home where someone is happy to play with her and understands that patience and consistency will help her continue to flourish. Shadow has already overcome so much. She’s ready for a forever home that will see beyond her cautious start and give her the safety, love, and playtime she truly deserves. Could that be with you?
