Happy Cat Sanctuary

The Happy Cat Sanctuary is a rescue organization based in Strathmore, Alberta, Canada. We are a small group of volunteers dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating stray and abandoned cats. We then help find loving homes for our cats through adoption.

Mikka is looking for a special forever home :)

Mikka is a very nice cat looking for a loving, quiet home to move into :) Mikka has IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) so has to be on special food and supplements which she has done fantastic on. She is not only beautiful but a very loving and gentle cat. For more information please email us happycatsanctuary@gmail.com

SHY CATS

Over the last couple of years we have taken in quite a few shy cats. Our main volunteers are able to pet, scratch and handle these cats as they have gained their trust over a long period of time; they are just shy with strangers. These cats can be hard to adopt out as they cannot go to adoption events or get showcased at PetSmart, relying simply on one picture and a brief description via our website to get noticed. Meet and greets with these cats are next to impossible as the cat will only hide and be afraid. A person who may be interested in adopting this cat must understand that it may take a year or so before they would be able to pet the cat but that they very likely bond quickly to the other cats in your home and you could take pride in knowing they are happy, safe and secure in a loving home. If you have 2 or more cats , no small children and a quiet home then you are the perfect home for a shy cat. Happy Cat Sanctuary is offering a permanent foster home program for our shy cats displayed in this album. Please contact us for further information on our Shy Cat Program. Please also have a look at our available for adoption page for a description of each of these cats - you will see in the description "Shy cat" marked for these wonderful cats!

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.

Thank you to the Government of Alberta Community Spirit Program

The donation grant provides an opportunity for eligible non-profit and/or charitable organizations to receive a provincial grant. The grant can be used to support an organization's operations, programs and/or capital projects.

Happy Cat Sanctuary is very thankful for the Community Spirit Grant as well as to every individual who has made a donation. Every cent and every item donated goes 100% towards the cats and the programs we have put in place within the communities.

Thank you for the continued support!
