About Us
We are a rescue and sanctuary for abandoned, stray and feral cats and kittens. Â
We are 100% volunteer run - we have a wonderful network of foster homes and 2 private facilities (that are not open to the general public)
Rescue cats that are available for adoption can be seen on our website as well as on display at Pet Valu in Strathmore (one cat at a time) and at PetSmart Sunridge location in NE Calgary. If there is a cat or kitten that you would be interested in adopting please send us a completed questionnaire, once approved we can then arrange for you to meet the cat by appointment.  Â
We have an adoption center open to the general public during hours posted on our Facebook page. (CLOSED, BY APPOINTMENT ONLY)Â A few cats that are ready for adoption will be displayed there. Please come visit them at 219 3rd avenue, Strathmore Alberta.

This beautiful senior girl is looking for a loving and quiet home to spend her time in. She is affectionate and so soft, she would make a great companion for an older person looking for companionship. Reggie requires a special diet to keep her digestive system functioning well. Reggie currently resides in a wonderful foster home but would love a forever home. For more information please contact us today! Sex: Female Type: DLH - Torbi (torti x calico) Age Group: Senior Special Status: Date of Birth: May, 2010

4 yr old female, bonded with sister Bella. Would do best in quiet home, is a little shy.

Bella has a soft fluffy coat. She likes to be brushed and is a shy cat, which means needs a cat companion in order to feel secure. Sophia is her sister and meets her needs. Bella and Sophia were rescued as older kittens and as such relate to cats better than people. Ideal for people that do not desire lap cats yet are willing to encourage socialization. She is spayed with all her shots and deworming up to date. Sex: Female Type: DLH - Grey Age Group: Youth Special Status: Shy Cat Date of Birth: August, 2017

This BIG DUDE came to us extremley overweight, his former owner pretended he was a stray and turned him in to us. He had a tattoo which traced back to the fellow who "found" Big Dude to which he then denied ever knowing this cat and blocked our calls....So, Big Dude went into a loving foster home where he started his weight loss and medical regime. Big Dude understandably has some liver issues due to the weight so he is on medication for this but as he loses weight he will eventually be able to come off of the medication. Big Dude has lost a whopping 4lbs since coming to happy cat. He gets daily exercise and a strict diet of one cup of kibbles per day which he enthusiastically awaits for every morning! Big Dude needs some help with grooming as he is still too big to reach around but he is used to it now. He is a real character that we would love to see go into a home. He is ok with other pets but would ideally prefer a quieter home without too much commotion. He is fine with kids and people. Good with kittens. You can meet Big Dude at our adoption centre located at 219, 3rd Ave Strathmore. Please call us at 403-804-8571 to make an appointment. Sex: Male Type: DSH - Black a

5yr old female. She is being surrendered by a loving home who unfortunately couldn't keep her. She is very affectionate but would get jealous/territorial and pick on her senior brother. Would do better in an only cat home or younger cat home. Will be shy at first.
