Happy Tails Cat Rescue Society

Happy Tails Cat Rescue Society is an incorporated not for profit animal rescue in the South Okanagan. So what does our rescue do?
(2)

Rescuing cats and helping them live their best lives is a passion for us. We help cats that need love and care. We work to advocate for cats and help them find their forever home. We work to stop unwanted litters of kittens by helping to spay and neuter cats. Our rescue is operated out of a home and all cats and kittens in our care are either housed here or placed with loving foster homes. We beli

eve this will help their personalities show and thrive and better enable us to match a cat with their purr-fect adopter. We ensure all kitties in our care get the vet care they need including shots, deworming, microchip, spay or neuter. We are working hard to reduce the feral population in our service area through spay and neuter and TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release) programs. Our adoption process aims at matching the right humans with their purr-fect pet. We believe that every animal is worthy of a stable environment, food, water, affection and humane care. We are always here to help and are always advocating for cats.

Butters ~ 1 and a half year old neutered male

Butters had been previously adopted but one family member was very allergic to him so he is back with us searching again for a home.

Butters is a one-and-a-half-year-old Russian Blue mix with a heart as soft as his name suggests. This neutered, affectionate boy absolutely melts with every cuddle and will gladly roll over for belly rubs any chance he gets. His curiosity knows no bounds—whether it’s watching you cook, type on the computer, or simply relax on the couch, Butters is always there to be your little shadow!

Butters has a playful side, too! He loves his toys and will keep himself entertained, but his absolute favorite pastime is watching the world go by from his favorite window perch. Seeing the outside world is endlessly fascinating for him, and he’ll happily spend hours observing every bird, squirrel, and leaf that comes into view.

Butters would be a great companion for a family with kids, or he’d be just as happy soaking up all the attention as an only pet. If you’re looking for a playful, sweet, and endlessly curious kitty who loves belly rubs and cuddle time, Butters might just be the perfect addition to your home!

Stella ~ 7 year old spayed female

Meet Stella! She is a grey and white munchkin ragdoll. Stella’s very sweet, she really wants a lot of attention all the time but on her own terms. She isn’t a fan of being picked up and will squeak the whole time to be put down. She loves sitting on your lap and getting head scratches. She’s very nice and does very very well with the other cats at her foster home. Although as she is a senior she would do better with older cats who don’t want to play as much. Her short “munchkin breed” legs make it so she doesn’t like to jump as high, so having step stools for a tall bed would help her. She’s on a satiety diet to help with her weight right now. The vet noted build up on her teeth and has suggested that she should go on dental food, as well as have regular teeth brushing or dental work will be needed. She’s just a very loving, very sweet girl. She does really well with her foster’s two cats and right away she flopped in front of them and was rubbing her face around the wall by them. So she doesn’t mind them. You can tell she lived with an older lady as moving fast, or even the younger foster cats speeding by can scare her and she will run and hide, even moving your hand fast to go pet her. We feel she would do best in a quiet home as a single pet or with other senior cats that have similar energy.

*Urgent Plea: Help Us Save Semi-Feral Cats & Kittens Before the Cold Hits!*
As the weather grows colder, we urgently need your help to save the lives of semi-feral cats and kittens who are currently living outdoors, at risk of exposure to freezing temperatures, harsh elements, and potential harm. These cats are often wary of humans but, with patience and care, they can be socialized and given the love and warmth they deserve. They need lots of human interaction (even if it is not touching them to start but being near them so they learn not to be afraid) and a confident adult cat or two who already likes humans often helps too. We are seeking kind-hearted individuals to open their homes as fosters to provide shelter (ideally a space with minimal hiding spots), food (which we sill supply), and safety before the winter sets in. By fostering a semi-feral cat or kitten, you give them the chance to acclimate to indoor life, receive the necessary veterinary care, and eventually find them a forever home. These cats and kittens are counting on us, and we can't do it without YOU. Fostering is a temporary commitment, but the impact you can have on their lives is lasting. If you can offer a safe, warm space to one of these deserving animals, please reach out today. Together, we can make sure they’re safe and secure before the cold weather takes hold. These kitties are often quite young and we never place an extreme feral case in a foster’s home. Semi-ferals have typically been born outside and had limited human contact. Thank you for opening your heart and home to these precious lives in need. We get MANY calls a day to help but can only help when we have spaces to place these precious cats.

Please fill out an application on our website at https://www.happytailscatrescue.ca/foster-application-form

Taz: 1.5 year old spayed female

After our Gus Gus quickly found his forever home we have decided to keep going with our feature adult series. So, Here is our second in our new series that showcases our Adult Cats looking for their fur-ever homes. The beautiful thing about adopting an adult cat is you already know so much about how their personalities. We are pleased to introduce you to our Taz!!!! She is a calm, sweet, loving, young fixed female of around a year and a half in age. Despite being so young this beautiful sleek panther like lady has already had two litters of kittens. Poor girl. But then she met us. After her last big litter was weened, Taz happily became the first member of the “Momma’s Last Litter Club”!!! Although she was a great momma having litter after litter of kittens is hard on her body and is not good for the cat population in general. She is happy now that she can lead the life of being a sleek panther and lounging in the sun and getting pats from a family of her own. One look into this beauties eyes and you can’t help but love her. If she sounds like the purr-fect kitty for you then please adopt this awesome gal!! Applications to adopt can be filled out on our webpage by following this link https://www.happytailscatrescue.ca/available-for-adoption We hope you enjoy meeting our sweet Taz as much as we have ❤️😻❤️ She deserves her forever family. Please share her profile with anyone you know needing love in their lives.
