• HELPING WITH THE FERAL CATS: We need lot's of help with trapping of feral cats in and around Strathmore and transporting them to and from the vet clinics in Strathmore. If you have a few hours to spare on the weekends or evenings please contact us and we will give you details on how you can help us and learn about our TNR (trap, neuter, release) program.  We also need some help to socialize young feral kittens for adoption.  Thanks!

• How old should a kitten be when it goes to a new home??  Please take the time to read this very informative article.  All too often kittens are given away at 5-8 weeks of age by many who claim they are weaned and "ready to go".  This is not only untrue, but can often be dangerous for the physical and mental health of a new kitten.  

• FOSTER HOMES DESPERATELY NEEDED!:  With summer here, we are still always looking for temporary homes to take in stray cats and kittens until they are ready for adoption.  If you have thought about fostering please inquire for more information.  Instead of letting your cat have kittens, please spay her and foster a litter of kittens instead - it will save the lives of many felines otherwise destined for an unfortunate ending.  Our volunteers are ready to answer your fostering questions, just email or call us today.  Thank you.

• If you would like to see some of the many cats we have available for adoption please go to Petsmart's NE Sunridge location in Calgary.  Petsmart is located at: 600, 3221 Sunridge Way NE

•   Husky/Mohawk Community rebate cards:  If you purchase your gas at Husky or Mohawk and would be interested in receiving the community rebate card please email us your name and address and we will mail you a card - This is how it works: With your Husky Community rebate card every time you make a purchase at a Husky or Mohawk station, ask the attendant to swipe your card and Husky will automatically register the value of the purchases that you make and send quarterly payments for 2% of the total to The Happy Cat Sanctuary.  This is an easy and wonderful way to help support the cats!  Thanks!
