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:
Original owner moved in with a roommate and brought Azlan with her. Owner then abandoned Azlan in this home by moving out and leaving her behind. Azlan was pregnant and had 7 healthy kittens! The roommate was obviously overwhelmed being that it wasn’t his choice to own this beautiful girl and then adding on another seven kittens. They reached out to us for help and now she’s ready to find her home
Description:
Azlan is super sweet and loving. She absolutely loves pets and face rubs and is a chatty kathy. We don’t know what her life was like before the last few months but clearly wasn’t easy as she’s lost part of her ear. That has not changed her big heart and loving demeanor. She is the sweetest girl. She has been a good mama cat raising seven kittens and is ready to move onto her next chapter.

Did you know that 80% of black cats are male but this black beauty is female. This female gem is rare to find. She holds true to being affectionate and sweet like black cats usually are. She does great with other cats and would love to meet you.
History: found along a highway
Description:
As soon as this pretty girl sees you, she is a purring machine! She loves to show off her zoomies, followed by a long nap to prepare for the next playtime.
Micha is a friendly girl and should have an easy time adjusting to her new home, full of love. She has made a lot of cat friends and even became instant besties with Leo at Northtown Petsmart. She heard him crying and started chirping back to let the staff know they wanted to meet each other. Needless to say, it was instant friendship.
Micha would love to meet you and find her forever home!
History: Mama & her 3 newly born babies were brought into care from living outdoors.
Description: Pebbles will charm you with his good looks & sweet disposition. His easy going, curious personality & super soft fur makes it hard not to love picking him up. He loves to play, either on his own or with his siblings & then takes his well-earned lovely afternoon naps. He’s the all around perfect kitty.
History: Twinkles & her 3 newly born babies were brought into care from living outdoors.
Description: Twinkles came to care from living a rough life. She lost a set of babies before, undernourished, dirty, & weary of people. She has come around, she likes scratches & doesn’t mind being picked up on occasion. However, her first instinct is to hide or hiss but she has never been physical with anyone in the foster home. She is a young cat & deserves to be loved as she loved her kittens. She does have a sweet disposition but patience & time will continue to build her confidence.
History: Gus Gus was found under a shed by a concerned citizen with his sibling.
When Gus Gus was picked up, mom cat moved the sibling. We tried to locate the sibling in the north end neighbourhood in Edmonton when it was discovered that it was in fact a colony. There were many other stray cats and kittens. Gus Gus was eventually reunited with his brother, Cinder. We worked on trapping and neutering many other adult members of the colony and unfortunately, Gus and Cinder’s mom was hit by a car.
Description: Hello 
I am Gus Gus. Mommy is always fussing about telling me how cute I am. I just love to snuggle! When I’m snuggling, I will sneak by and make bread any chance I can. When I activate play mode, watch out! I am the fastest kitten out there and I will show off my speed when I’m zooming around playing with my toys. It would be best for me to have my brother or a young kitten to be friends with because they got to keep up to me.
History:
Owner reached out to us to help rehome sweet Crash due to unforeseen circumstances. Came into care with Shyloh, not a bonded pair but would do well together if you’re looking for two cats
Description:
This majestic marvelous mister is meowing for you to adopt him. He provides comfort, snuggles and often a good laugh. He’s a silly playful boy despite his sometimes initial shy reaction with new things. We are sure he will melt your hearts and keep you happy with giving him a safe loving home.
History:
Owner reached out to us to help rehome beautiful Shyloh due to unforeseen circumstances. Came into care with Crash, not a bonded pair but would do well together if you’re looking for two cats
Description:
Shyloh is a sweet princess, clearly Snow White as you can see by her beautiful complexion. She loves to be treated with pets, food and a good lounging spot. You will find her exploring around with you or in a good sleeping spot. She loves to watch the world outside but remember our cats come adopted as indoor only or secured outdoor options to keep this princess safe. This special girl deserves all the love.
History:
I was brought into care with another cat and a bunch of kittens that I helped create!
Description:
Hi! I’m Ash! After I came into care, it took me a couple of days to adjust to my new surroundings and to be away from my family. I will need a couple of days to adjust when I move in with you, too! Luckily, I’m still pretty much a kitten so I sure am curious and man, I love those pets!!! I am used to big families and fit right in with my bro’s in the foster home! I have been a little timid about the dogs, they sure are big! But, I wasn’t too scared and I won’t show any negativity! That’s just not who I am! I really love the love, man! I hope to find my chilled out forever home soon, packed with treats and toys!!! Man, that’s the good life right there !!!
History:
One of the ‘feral fifteen ‘
Description:
Chestnut was a hard little nut to crack! He has started to trust, but still has a ways to go.
He is very playful and really loves playing with the other cats and toys!! Will you win over this fantastic feline? Show him love and safety that was so long denied him? Chestnut would do best with another cat in the home to help him build more trust.
. All windows are considered her best friend as long as she can get into them to enjoy those glorious rays.
History: owner surrender
Description: I have just finished raising my last litter of kittens. I am sweet, loving and vocal.
I have been a fierce, protective Mama and am looking forward to just relaxing with my forever person. I greet you at the door with a little meow…. I just love pets! I love getting attention from people. I am still a kitten and get very excited to play when the toys come out! I am great with the toddler in my foster home; very gentle and patient… just loving the attention. I will be an amazing addition to any young family! Years of love and loyalty!
History:
We suspect mellow has experienced some great trauma in his young life. We were contacted to help Mellow when he was found abandoned in an empty kennel, soaking wet from peeing.
When Mellow got to his foster home, he started out in a bathroom to decompress. It took his foster mama three weeks of sitting in the room quietly to finally see some signs of trust. After another few weeks, he ate in front of her and would eat his favorite treats from her hand. Mellow then upgraded to his own cat bedroom. Here he has slowly made progression over several months to realize he can trust us humans. He now enjoys pets and will sit on his foster mom’s lap for love.
Description:
Mellows gorgeous green eyes, wispy ear hair, and soft pink nose are just the facial features that we love to see.
It has been so rewarding to encourage mellow to trust us and watch him grow into a more confident cat.
He loves face scratches, pets, and treats. He’s learning what toys are and figuring out how to play.
He will need a dedicated, patient cat owner as he needs help through any change big or small. A safe quiet home with a loving owner is what Mellow truly needs.
History: Not a lot is known about Aurora’s start in life.
HLH was contacted with reports of an abandoned young cat. She was known to previously live in one of the houses (seen sitting inside the window), but now loose in the neighbourhood, running into traffic, scared and alone; the previous owners having moved away. She was brought into care urgently for her safety, and is now receiving needed vetting, nutrition, stimulation and socialization.
Description: Aurora is a most striking cat!! Big yellow eyes, long whiskers, lanky build with the most beautiful coloring and bushy tail. She is a warm and friendly kitty, not shy around people and loves to greet you with the most adorable chirping meow. She is very curious about her environment and loves to explore as well as perch in front of a window to watch the world go by. She is a huge fan of wand toys, bouncing balls, and fingers/toes under blankets. Aurora has recently been introduced to “the red dot”; it has her a bit stymied as to where it disappears to all the time. Her play behaviour hints at a very young, still learning how to play heart, but her response to her fosters when she is caught doing something not allowed (learning bad habits from her very young foster siblings) tells them that she has been around people enough to know what the word “no” means.
Aurora can be a cuddler, but also likes to perch in a “tree” or some furniture close by to keep a watchful eye on you so you don’t go too far. She has taken to her foster brothers slowly … keenly watchful of their antics from a distance, with displays of wanting to be a part of the fun. She is much more comfortable around the younger boys (likely younger than she is), and will be noted lying quietly beside them, sharing the same toy, and on occaision, initiating some play. The older cat still makes her nervous, but with close supervision and positive reinforcement, she is learning to coexist and send clear signals that she needs her space, as well as to respect his. She would do well in a home with other cats with proper introductions, but would likely also do ok being the only cat in the household.
She is great with the litter box (no accidents in the house). We are working on tolerating nail clipping, and recognizing that fingers are NOT toys and gentle play is welcome. Having longer hair, brushing will need to be part of her routine … she is still not convinced about this, but is treat motivated so will likely change her mind real soon.
History: Betsy was one of the Feral 15 rescued during the -40 cold snap in February. She was found with 14 other cats and was one of the last to be caught as she was very wary of people. Despite that Betsy has thrived in her foster house, she is one of the best cats I have ever fostered.
Description: Betsy is an almost perfect cat in every way. Betsy has the cutest little meow that constantly sounds like she is asking a question. While she can be a bit shy at first, once she gets to know you all she wants is to follow you around the house getting pets, love and the occasional treat. She loves playing with toys, especially the ribbon on the stick type of toys and will sit playing with you for hours. I think she would do best in a house without young children as she is learning that she has to play a bit more gentle with people than she does cats. However, I think she would do fine with older children who understand that quick movements can scare her. Betsy loves being around other cats and I think she will need another cat in the house to thrive. Currently she will follow her sister Midnight May around the house looking at her for guidance in new situations. Ideally, I would love her to stay with her sister Midnight May but, I understand that might not be possible.
Her current foster has 2 large dogs and it took her a while to get her to be comfortable in the same room with them. I find if they ignore her, she will ignore them.
While she loves to play with toys both with her foster parents and the other cats, she is also content just to follow you around the house or snuggle up on her favorite window/scratching post and enjoy the sun.
History: found with his mom and sibling
Description:
Augustus (Auggie) is such a sweet boy. He was brought in with his mom and sibling during a cold snap. When he first came in he was very skiddish, but is learning that people aren’t so bad! He loves being pet, but is unsure what to do during the petting process. He rolls around the whole time so you are always petting a moving target! It’s adorable. He prefers to not be picked up, but is a big fan of laying beside you on the couch. Augustus loves running around with all the other cats in the house, he is very social and fit in quickly. Auggie needs other cats to help his confidence, so another cat in the household would be ideal.
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:
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 : taken in from ACC to help socialize them
Description: These adorable sisters have come such a long way since being brought into foster care. Louise loves to be petted. She will sit on your lap, purring loudly while making biscuits.
Thelma is slowly getting closer, watching and learning from Louise.
Neither of them want to be picked up or held yet. However, they are social, playful, curious and loving.
These girls are HIGHLY motivated by food and toys.. but, mostly food. They will crawl all over you for a lickable treat.
These two are very special. They are fun, playful, and sweet to one another. We believe they should be adopted together so they can continue their journey with each other’s support.
History: a littler of kittens were born in a home that needed some help. Mama cat is doing well and staying in their care and it is time for her and her sisters, Oreo and Sif to find their own homes.
Description:
Chonky was named for being the biggest kitten of the bunch. Now the only thing chonky about her, is her beautiful big eyes and chunk of white fur on her chest. She’s an energetic sweetheart looking for a loving home.
History: I was found outside with my siblings
Description: Hi, I’m Mars. I’m a beautiful and rare diluted tabby. I am the quietest of the bunch. I play if I must, but i’d rather find a quiet place to rest and relax away from my siblings. I love fuzzy spots to lay and be cozy. Could your home be my new favourite place?
History: I was found outside with my siblings
Description: Hi, I’m Moon
and I’m the snuggliest boy ever. I play hard and snooze hard. I love to play and run around and chase my siblings because I have fear of missing out. But honestly, I’d rather be snoozing and snuggling with my people.
Don’t I sound like the purrfect addition to your family?
History: I was found outside with my siblings
Description: Hi I’m Venus, I’m a silly and rambunctious girl. I love to chase those darn springs around the house all day! I also love the feather wand toys. I will growl once I’ve captured it to let my siblings know it’s mine. I would do best in a home with another kitty because I love snoozing with my siblings in a pile. I love to watch tv with my humans; that’s my downtime and when they get the blanket out I know it’s time to relax, so if you’re looking for a Netflix partner, look no further!
History: One of the feral 15
Description:
Beech has been the easiest feral to work with. Despite his fear and him greeting people with a hiss, he has been eager to interact and loves getting pets. This sweet boy does not have a mean bone in his body.
Beech is a calm guy and will need time before becoming the loving cuddlebug that is hiding beneath the surface. He will need a home with another cat for comfort but, also to help him continue to learn that people are good. Beech will require patience and lots of love as he continues to grow into his own but he is so excited to do so! If you have that love to give, please apply for Beech to become a part of the family!
History: One of the feral 15
Description:
Balsam is a distinguished gentleman. He tries to maintain his dignity and calm despite still having some fear of people. He has recently learned that pets feel good and is starting to trust his foster. He has had the help and guidance of his new best buddy, Owen (also available for adoption).
Balsalm would do awesome with his bestie Owen or would require a home with another cat or cats for comfort. He still needs a quiet space and people that have the patience to earn this beautiful boys affection.
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: 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: 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!
