History:
Queen was humanely trapped from a rural cat colony by HLH and brought into care. Having likely lived her entire life outdoors, she came to us fearful and unaccustomed to human touch.
Description:
True to her name, Queen carries herself with quiet dignity. She’s a gentle soul who values peace and routine, and she’s slowly learning that life indoors can be safe and comfortable. Queen shares her foster space with another cat, and the two respectfully coexist — suggesting she could do well with a calm feline companion.
This lovely girl will need a patient, understanding adopter who can offer her a calm, adult-only home and the time she needs to build trust. With consistent care and a gentle presence, Queen has the potential to blossom into a loving companion who finally knows she’s safe, cherished, and loved. 
History:
Giddy Kitty was originally living as an outdoor cat in a lake community, where he slowly built trust with kind humans who cared for him. After arriving injured from a likely altercation, he was brought into care for veterinary treatment, and never looked back. He has since transitioned beautifully to indoor life.
Description:
Giddy Kitty truly lives up to his name: he’s a happy, affectionate boy with a heart of gold. Once he bonds with you, he becomes your loyal little shadow, always wanting to be part of whatever you’re doing.
Whether it’s lounging in the sun, supervising daily tasks, or curling up on his favorite heated blanket, he just wants to be near his people.
He’s gentle, talkative, and full of charm, often “chatting” to check in or call out for company. He loves simple joys like toy mice, cozy naps, and quiet companionship.
Giddy has transitioned to indoor living perfectly and handles care (even medications) like a total pro. While he’s still being slowly introduced to other cats, he has shown calm curiosity and would likely do well with a patient, respectful introduction.
He will make an incredibly devoted and loving companion, always by your side and ready to share in life’s quiet moments. Giddy Kitty would thrive in a loving home where he can continue to feel safe, cherished, and connected. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will quietly steal your heart, he might just be your perfect match
History:
Kenji was found straying around his neighborhood before coming into foster care. Since moving indoors, he has embraced the comfort and safety of home life and continues to blossom every day.
Description:
Hi! My name is Kenji, which means “smart leader” — and my foster family says it suits me perfectly. I’ve adapted beautifully to indoor living and have taken it all in stride, from the hum of the furnace to the rumble of the washer and dryer.
I’m a very clever and respectful boy. When told “no,” I listen. Even though I’m curious about what’s beyond the doors (especially the one where the treats are kept!), I patiently wait like a gentleman. I’ve learned how to play with wand toys, sniff out goodies in my snuffle mat, and I absolutely love food and catnip — they’re the way to my heart.
The vet described me as sweet and kind, and I truly am. I enjoy affection and will gently put my paws on your lap when I’d like to come up for a cozy nap. After spending time on the streets, I can be unsure of sudden or unusual noises, so a calmer home would suit me best. With time in my home I get used to my surroundings and more and more confident.
With other cats, I’m curious and interested. I would do best with a slow, supportive introduction to other animals.
I’ve come such a long way and am so ready for a forever home of my own. Will you be the one to take me home?

Coco has already come so far — now she just needs a kind, loving home to show her that she was never “unadoptable” at all.
Hello. My name is Tindy.
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?
History of the animal: Bobbi was rescued from a large colony near Mayfield Common in Edmonton, just before winter set in.
Description: Bobbi arrived extremely fearful of humans. She had also suffered a serious tail injury—half of it was missing and, despite treatment, it failed to heal. Eventually, the remaining portion was amputated, leaving her with her current, irresistibly cute bobcat-style tail. Despite the trauma she’s endured, Bobbi is a sweet, gentle soul who truly wants to love and be loved. It’s been heart-melting to watch her journey. Over her time in care—now more than a year—she has made incredible progress. In the beginning, she would nervously pace and circle from a distance, slowly building the courage to come closer. Now, that same cautious bravery has grown into real connection. While her first instinct can still be to run,she can now be picked up and has discovered that she really enjoys gentle pets, especially once she feels safe. Bobbi absolutely loves other cats and would thrive in a home with a feline companion. She enjoys the company of all the cats in her foster home, and we feel she would do best with a laid-back, easygoing cat or even a friendly kitten to help continue building her confidence. Mealtime is still her favorite part of the day—she’ll trot in eagerly, sometimes meowing if you’re taking too long—and her absolute favorite treat is catnip. That’s when her playful, happy side really shines through. She’s also incredibly curious, always watching the world around her with big, inquisitive eyes and the cutest little head tilts as she tries to figure everything out. With a little more patience and a loving home (and maybe a feline friend), we know Bobbi’s story will end in the happy ending she so deeply deserves—a happy tail… er, tale.
