History:
Princess was brought into FURensics Rescue alongside her sister Dumpling after their owner was evicted and sought help to ensure their cats would remain safe and cared for.
Description:
Hi, my name is Princess, and I’m 5 years old!
I LOVE love—all the pets, all the scritches, all the time! I really enjoy being around people who are affectionate and consistent. 
Although I came into care with my sister Dumpling, we aren’t particularly close (you know how siblings can be 
). I used to have a bonded feline partner, but we couldn’t stay together, so now I’m hoping to find a new best friend—maybe you?
If you catch me kneading (aka “making biscuits”), that means I’m feeling happy and content. I enjoy wand toys, chasing balls (though I haven’t quite figured out how to fetch), and playing with my catnip toy—I often carry it around the house or up and down the stairs like it’s my prize catch.
I’m a pretty chill kitty overall, and I’d likely do great with another relaxed cat or even a younger one I can show the ropes to. I do get startled by loud noises and may hide when things get chaotic, so I’d do best in a calm, loving home.
If you’ve got an open window for birdwatching, a cozy spot for naps, and space in your heart for a sweetheart who thrives on affection (and kibble 
), then I just might be your perfect Princess.
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:
Sierra is a tall, elegant girl with stunning tabby markings and the grace of a little wildcat. Whether she’s zipping through the room with her sleek panther-like stride or curled up in a sunbeam, she’s absolutely captivating. Playful, curious, and quietly observant, she brings a quiet charm to every moment.
Still adjusting to the human world, Sierra is taking her time to build trust—but every day she shows us a little more of her heart. With her feline friends, she’s a natural. She integrated beautifully with the resident cats and clearly finds comfort in their company, often choosing to lounge nearby or follow them from room to room.
Sierra is looking for a calm, patient adopter who understands that the best bonds take time. Someone who won’t rush her, but will celebrate each little step she takes toward trusting you. Once she feels safe, she’ll reward you with her quiet loyalty, gentle presence, and maybe even a playful zoom or two.
If you have a peaceful home and a heart big enough to meet her where she is, Sierra might just be your perfect match.

Bonded Pair – Must Be Adopted Together
Their Story:
Born to a stray mama cat who was tragically lost to a car accident, Slash and Spike were rescued along with their siblings (Kasha, Pippi, and Short Sox) by a kindhearted couple. Though their early life was tough, these two have come a long way in the safety and comfort of their foster home. Together, they’ve been learning how to trust, play, and embrace the good life indoors.
Meet Slash:
Slash is the “cool cat” of the duo—a striking tuxedo kitten with classic black-and-white markings and a sleek white collar that adds to his rockstar charm. Inspired by the legendary guitarist, Slash carries himself with quiet charisma. He can be a little shy at first, especially around quick movements, but he quickly comes out of his shell with a wand toy or a tasty treat. Once he’s comfortable, his playful, affectionate side shines bright.
Meet Spike:
Spike is the thinker of the pair. A cautious but curious girl, she’s often the first to investigate a new toy—but on her own terms. She may greet new situations with a hiss, but it’s all bark and no bite. She’s not aggressive, just wary—and extremely clever. Her favorite game is “What’s in there, and how do I get it out?” Spike is a little problem-solver who loves exploring and figuring things out. Though still getting used to human affection, she’s starting to accept gentle pets during quiet, safe moments.
Why Two is Better Than One:
Together, Slash and Spike balance each other beautifully. Slash brings a playful confidence that helps Spike feel more secure, and Spike’s calm, inquisitive nature grounds her brother’s energetic side. They snuggle, play, and explore as a team, and they’re often found curled up together after a busy day of kitten antics.
Ideal Home:
Slash and Spike are looking for a quiet, patient home with adopters who will let them adjust at their own pace. They’d thrive in a calm environment with respectful older children and could potentially adjust to cat-savvy dogs. Their future family should enjoy watching shy kittens grow into confident, loving companions—and be ready for plenty of playtime along the way.
If you’ve got room in your heart and home for a thoughtful girl and her rockstar brother, Slash and Spike are ready to steal the show—and your heart.
History: transfer from AAS (Alberta Animal Services) in June 2024.

History:
Simone and Reaper were rescued together after being found abandoned on a porch. Simone was very young and pregnant at the time, and later required an emergency C-section due to complications during labor. Reaper was suffering from a leg injury, likely caused by a coyote encounter, but recovered beautifully with care. Throughout their healing and journey, they remained inseparable. Despite their young age, these two have been through a lot together—raising a litter, recovering from trauma, and growing into loving, resilient companions.
Description:
Simone is a playful, affectionate girl with a silly, sometimes ditsy personality that will keep you smiling. She loves to be around people—especially kids and seniors—and enjoys giving hugs to the family dog by wrapping her paws around its neck. She has a sweet tooth for unattended goodies like chocolate eggs and suckers (keep those treats tucked away!) and thrives in a lively home filled with love, cuddles, and attention.
Reaper is a total snuggle bug and very emotionally intuitive. He’s the kind of cat who will let you know exactly how he feels—whether he’s hungry, bored, or just craving attention. He has a strong bond with Simone and is still adjusting to the loss of their kittens. Their deep connection is evident—they rely on each other for comfort, companionship, and stability. Reaper is especially sensitive and may not thrive without Simone by his side.
Both cats are excellent with other animals, including cats, dogs, and even bunnies, and they have done very well around children. Their ideal home would be one where they can remain together, surrounded by love, with plenty of time for play, snuggles, and family bonding. They’ve overcome so much already—now they’re ready for their forever home, together.

History:
Shadow’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. She was found alone, dangerously underweight, and struggling to survive. Just before a harsh cold snap hit, she was rescued and brought into care—right in time to save her life. With lots of love and medical attention, Hope Lives Here helped her get healthy again.
Due to health precautions in her foster home (her foster sibling is immunocompromised), Shadow spent her early recovery in isolation. An attempt to place her in a different foster home didn’t go well—she showed stress-related aggression toward the adults and child there. But once she returned to her original foster, she settled down quickly and showed her sweet side again. Based on this, we believe Shadow would thrive in a calm, adult-only home or one with older, cat-savvy children.
Description/About Shadow:
Shadow is a playful, curious girl who loves window watching, couch lounging, and zooming around with bursts of kitten energy. She currently shares her space with a senior foster cat—while they coexist peacefully, Shadow would likely prefer to be the only cat in the home. She has a bit of a “lone wolf” personality and would love a home where she can shine on her own terms.
After everything she’s been through, Shadow deserves a forever home where she feels safe, understood, and unconditionally loved.
