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:
Cami originally lived as an only cat in a home with young children. As she grew, it became clear that she adored other cats and sought them out whenever possible — often visiting neighboring cats to play and socialize. When circumstances changed, Cami found safety with a kind neighbor, where she later welcomed her babies and proved to be an incredible young mom.
Personality:
Cami is a sweet, loving, and playful girl with a huge heart. She adores snuggling, soaking up pets, and spending time with her people. She is very social with other cats and especially loves playing and wrestling with a young male cat in her foster home — always gentle, respectful, and never aggressive.
She was a wonderful mother: attentive, nurturing, and protective, while still trusting her human to help and comfort her. Cami enjoys grooming, wrestling, and playing with her kittens and other cats, and she’s clearly making up for the kittenhood she missed.
One of her most endearing quirks? She’s constantly sticking out her little tongue — and it’s impossibly cute ![]()
Ideal Home:
Cami would do best in a calm, secure indoor home. She would thrive with another friendly cat or with a human who has plenty of time to give her love and attention. A quieter environment suits her best, as she may feel overwhelmed by very young children. Due to her curious nature, a safe and secure home is important.
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?

were rescued from a large colony near Mayfield Common in Edmonton, just before winter set in

At mealtimes, her confidence shines through. She trots in eagerly, meowing if you’re taking too long, and will even accept a few pets in exchange for her bowl.
Bobbi is also incredibly curious. She’s quick to investigate any activity in the room, her big, inquisitive eyes always alert . She’ll often tilt her head with a puzzled expression , as if trying to figure out why you keep pushing that loud vacuum back and forth . Her quirky personality peeks through more and more each day—it’s truly a joy to witness
With a little more patience and time, we’re sure Bobbi’s story will end in a much-deserved happy tail… er, tale
History:
Meatball spent his early days navigating the outdoors until a caring neighbour noticed him and made sure he wasn’t left to weather the cold alone. Thanks to their kindness, this glossy little wanderer is now safe, warm, and discovering the softness of indoor life just in time for winter.
Description:
Meatball is a whisper-soft gentleman — polite, observant, and quietly endearing. His only ongoing mischief? He’s still learning that human food isn’t part of his menu, a habit leftover from his resourceful street-survival days.
He’d thrive in a calm home where he can shadow his person like a little midnight moon, slipping between cozy hidey spots and the comfort of a welcoming lap. Once invited, he melts into chin scratches, slow blinks, and gentle companionship.
This handsome house panther is still figuring out the joys of being an indoor cat: toys, safety, affection, and routines that don’t involve braving the elements. His confidence is blooming, and watching him unfold is a privilege all on its own.
Whoever adopts this velvety sweetheart will gain a loyal, tender companion who’s ready to trade the cold world for a warm heart. ![]()
