Thank you to everyone who helped us catch our girls! We secured Demi this afternoon not to far from where she went missing from and Abigail was trapped a week and a half ago. We are so thankful we have gotten both Abigail and Demi back safe and sound! We also got word that Beans-the missing kitty from Garry Station was caught this morning and is back home where he belongs. We lent a trap to Beans mom in hopes he stayed close to the area, and thankfully he did!!! So today is a day we celebrate 🎉.

Pearl is ready to find her own furever home. Pearl came to us back in May 2025, and was not in the greatest health. She had stomatitis, and eating was painful. She was underweight, and unhappy. Fast forward to now. She had dental surgery (which involved removing all her teeth except 2 bottom canines), which healed up beautifully, and she’s back to a healthy weight and seems so much more at ease. She would do well in a quiet house with no other pets. We originally thought Pearl was 2-3years old, but after a thorough exam the vet thought maybe closer to 6 years. Even with no teeth, she can eat hard food, but LOVES wet food and that would need to be given 1-2 times daily to keep her weight healthy. If you are interested in meeting Pearl, please contact the rescue.

We are looking for a foster for a senior kitty named Ellie. Her person has moved overseas and the person caring for her currently is moving into a non-pet friendly apartment. Ellie is beautiful and friendly, but will need some patience to get used to her new normal. Fostering and adopting senior cats should be taken slowly and seriously. Cats living years one way then one day having there entire world change, can cause stress on the cat, and it can wreck havoc on their health. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Ellie, please send us a message.

A trip to Calgary on Friday and a trip to Claresholm today we have been able to transfer a bunch of my recent intakes two different rescues across Alberta. Our partnership with these rescues are invaluable to us and we are so grateful to have the friendship we do and be able to collaborate with each other so that we can find as many kitties there forever home as possible. Feeling pretty grateful today that we’ve been able to help so many kitties this winter so far!

Hey everyone! I am putting a call out for foldable tables. They will be used to put large wire kennels on, so they do not need to be pretty but they need to be sturdy.  if anyone has any, they are no longer needing please let me know and I can pick up.  Thank you so much.

People often tell me about a “feral” cat they have been feeding, so I suit up and grab the supplies needed to trap feral kitties, just to find out the cat is not feral, just a cat that has been failed by humans. But sometimes, we get a true feral, and as I always say “I like the mean ones”! This sweet face in the video was picked up on the Northside by a cat lover who had just took in a family of stray cats and was unable to take in anymore. She got her trapped, and the moment I saw her, I knew she was fiesty. This video was taken yesterday. The kitty has been with the rescue for a month, and still wants nothing to do with me, or anyone. She enjoys making a mess in her kennel constantly, and if given the chance, she would absolutely claw out my eyes, all while I talk quietly to her as to not cause any extra stress.
So is there a difference between Scared/Shy kitties and Feral kitties? Absolutely. But to me they are all sweet babies and deserve the same love and attention as I give to all of my kitties. 😻

As most of our followers know, we recently did a couple trips to Calgary for appointments and also transfers of some kitties to other amazing rescues. As most of our followers also know, rescue never shuts down. With the cold weather, we have been overrun with calls and emails asking us to take in kitties. With every intake-there is a cost. The kitty needs to be seen by a vet, vaccinated, treated (if necessary), spay/neuter, dentals, and that's all before they are even available for adoption. We currently have 14 cats in que to be fixed. In order for us to continue doing what we do, we need your help. Without support of our amazing supporters, we would not be able to provide the care these kitties need to live their best lives.

If you are able to donate, e-transfers can be sent to [email protected]. Tax receipts can be issued for donations over $20. Be sure to include your full name, mailing address, and email address for tax receipt purposes.

Yesterday we said goodbye to Bitsy. Bitsy came to us from Picture Butte with 7 other cats. Their owner had recently passed away. A senior who had only herself and her cats in the house. All these cats are 7 plus years old (3 are 12 years old according to there records) and have only ever known their person. They are of course scared and anxious, but poor Bitsy was definitely the worst. He was in rough shape. He was extremely dehydrated, malnourished, and badly needed a dental. Unfortunately, with his health he would not do well in surgery, and he was in pain. He had stopped eating. Records back from November showed he was scheduled for a dental, but was not healthy enough at the time for the vet to be comfortable performing a full mouth extraction. When he went in yesterday to be examined, the vet found that one of his molars was so badly rotting, that there was a hole in his mouth and nerve was exposed. Imagine how painful that must have been? He was basically starving to death as it was too painful to eat. We decided after a thorough discussion with the vet about options, the kindest thing we could do for Bitsy was relieve him of his pain and allow him to cross the rainbow bridge feeling safe and loved. I unfortunately do not have a good picture of him as he looked incredibly emancipated but he was an incredibly handsome grey long haired guy who was loved by his person, and even though only with me for a short time, he felt love again in his final days. ❤️ Rest peacefully Bitsy-Im sure your mom was up there waiting to greet you ❤️❤️

Meet Pearl, our little dental diva! Today, she underwent a dental extraction that left her with just two fabulous lower canines—talk about minimalist chic! Her teeth were so bad they’d make a raccoon cry, scoring a low 2/5 for body condition because it hurt to eat. Poor Pearl was living with stomatitis, which sounds like a fancy dish but is actually a painful condition. Imagine suffering from dental pain for years without a dentist!

Thanks to our incredible supporters, we finally gave her the dental makeover she desperately needed. She's currently on the road to recovery, lounging comfortably at home, and pondering her next career move—perhaps as a feline tooth model?

Stay tuned for updates on her journey to becoming the healthiest kitty on the block! 🥰

What was supposed to be a trip for one cat to get dental work done turned into a trip with 21 cats transferring to our wonderful Calgary rescue partners and friends!

We have great timing because I was literally doing the same thing one month ago but for 21 vet visits!

I get to watch the sunrise with the kitties this morning ❤️, my heart is full - steph

URGENT: we are looking for a couple fosters for four older cats Who’s person passed away. She loved these cats dearly. The cats are used to a quiet household with no children or other pets. Their whole world has been turned upside down, and I’d love to find them all loving fosters who will be patient and allow them time to grieve. They are all fixed and a little on the heavy side, but incredibly beautiful cats. If anyone is able to help out, please send us a message. We would prefer them being fostered in pairs or altogether, but we do understand four cats is a lot. We will cover any vetting as well as supplies that will be needed.
