Little Cats Lost (Trap-Neuter-Return) Society After witnessing the explosive population of cats and kittens in the southeast industrial section of Edmonton over 10 years ago we had a vision.

As well as TNR to lower community cat population we also have a successful adoption program where cats at risk because of unsocial behavior are Rescued, Rehab'ed & Rehomed What if we spayed and neutered as many cats as possible in the 27 colonies we had come across to reduce the birth of kittens and consequently the number of cats overall. It seemed like an impossible endeavour but we decided to p

ioneer this thing called “Trap-Neuter-Return”. We educated ourselves on the subject, raised money and set about fixing so many feral cats it would make your head spin. During that year, we eventually fixed close to 300 community then known as feral cats. We faced adversities and criticism along the way but we pressed on. Today, to the best knowledge of our caregivers there are 5 colonies and less than 10 cats living a feral lifestyle in that particular area. Of course management of the area has continued over the years and other colonies in other parts of the city have been helped. When first TNR’ing a location it has its fair share of feral kittens so we found ourselves having to provide for them within our rescue, hence the Rescue, Rehabilitation, Rehome progams came to be. Today, the three R’s of 10 years ago have grown to mean so much more than when we started. RESCUE: We tend to take the cats and kittens that others turn away from. Socially and medically challenged mainly, many of which are awaiting euthanasia in other facilities. The list includes, but not limited to pregnant community cats, neonates, strays, injured and distressed, senior aged cats. Basically we will try to help any who have been turned down by mainstream shelters. REHABILITATE: We employ the use of time, patience, play and a sense of calm to help these cats that have no human social connection. For those needing medical intervention we provide the veterinary care. Neonates are bottle fed and don’t only grow with their siblings but are adopted as pairs to ensure they continue to grow to be the best companion pets they can be. Our programs take a lot of time and that time in care increases our financial costs way more than the TNR group we were of yesterday. RE-HOME: Our most bittersweet part of rescue. We currently have 6 Pet Valu adoption partner stores. Due to the social nature of most of our cats and kittens on intake, our Step 1 and Step 2 foster homes become very emotionally invested. LCL understands their need to know their “babies” are going to the best possible homes so we are very cognizant of including them through the process. Our organization adopts on “fit” therefore, the animal being applied for has to fit the environment it would potentially go into. Our process moves from written application, phone conversation, virtual family meet, and finally in family meet and greet. It may seem quite a daunting process as an applicant, but we try to keep it as light and positive as possible all the while making sure our little stars will feel right at home when they go. We also have other programs within our rescue one of course is our Rodent Wranglers which is basically our barn/shop placements. It is specifically designed for the cats that fit best in a more independent lifestyle. They remain socially challenged even after our best efforts. Sharing is Caring is our other. It is an 11th hour reprieve. Cats and kittens going through this program are usually facing immediate euthanasia for a treatable medical condition due to families being financially challenged. Most calls come in to us from the emergency veterinary clinics. When possible most cats are moved to our partnering vet clinic who provides the necessary treatment to us at a rescue discount. Providing we feel the home is where the cat should be we gladly return him/her to the family. So there you have it. LCL in a nutshell. A TNR group and so much more!

Does 2017 feel like forever ago?

I’m another long story. The skinny is I’ve been living with an elderly lady for the past 5.5 years. She has just gone into a seniors home. There was talk of me being shot as I apparently was done with my job as a companion, instead one of the family members rescued me from that fate. It turned my rescuer thought I might be diabetic. Good news is, after LCL spent the $400 to do the necessary diagnostics at their vet we found out that I am not. Regardless, my rescuer was unable to keep me. So here I am looking for new people to love me.

As you can imagine living with an elderly lady I would enjoy a quiet home. I am about 9 or so now so little 2 leggers might be too much for me. I’m not overly bothered about cats being around but I’m not a cat that likes dogs and it doesn’t matter how patient they may be. I am a good boy in all respects. I loved my friend and now I just need another.

Please message if you are interested to know more about me.

Today with remembrance we are acknowledging the passing of one of our foster moms. Gina.

I’d like to cast back time to the week of February 4th 2022.

That was the week Gina began fostering one of our Little Cats Lost friends. We called the little cat Cookie. She was 15 years old.

Cookie was rather a cranky girl and had some senior medical issues.
Gina however, embraced her new little charge selflessly and optimistically. They fast became pals, but if you know cats, Cookie was definitely in charge of the duo within a few days. Gina would tell us how she would wake her when it was time for attention or when she was just too darn fussy about food.

In the summer, the rescue loaned Gina a pet stroller and the two of them would sit outside her senior living home like a couple of Walmart greeters. I think everyone who used the main door got to know Gina and Cookie.

Cookie passed in January of 2024. How could it not rock Gina’s world?

Little did we know at that time, that her four legged friend had gone on to forge the trail that one day we all travel.

We want to believe that Cookie, with her Angel wings, was waiting for Gina at the Bridge to welcome her home.

From our family at Little Cats Lost…
Thank you Gina for everything you did for Cookie. Thank you for your kindness, thank you for joining our crazy kitty family it was our pleasure knowing you.

Remember me?

Peanut😻

I was found in a backpack inside a dumpster; joined the LCL family and debuted Pet Valu Morinville a couple days later.

Within 2 days I had 4 applications and today I joined my furever dad who is also adopting Diego who will be my big brother.

I am sooooo excited😻

It was a Spectacular Saturday at Pet Valu Mayfield.🎊

We are thrilled that after only one day in the store our beloved rescue boy, Jasper, has found his forever home.🎉

Jasper’s journey has been spectacular. From the moment he entered our care, we knew he was destined for a special family. His playful antics, affectionate nature, and sweet, charming purrsonality won everyone he met.😻

Saturday, Jasper’s dreams came true! He went home with a loving family who were over-the-top excited to have him as part of their lives.💖

To make the day even more special his aunties at the store sent Jasper home with a lovely “Gotcha Day” present.🎁

Your support helps make it possible to change the lives of kits like Jasper who wouldn’t have had this chance if he hadn’t joined our LCL family🏠

Please, we need help with this 8 yr old guy. His story is convoluted, but he was the companion of a lady just reaching 90 and she had to go into care. This boy is diabetic and has to leave his home by the end of this month. This is not a negative situation. We are trying to do the best for this boy and we are hoping someone may adopt him into their care. Please message us for more information. He is in Edmonton right now.

Just look at this cutie; meet her in person & she will melt your heart.
