Hungry and Homeless Cat Rescue

Hungry and Homeless Cat Rescue Please help us help the hungry and homeless cats in downtown Ottawa. The cats are taken to a Vet for evaluation and assistance as soon as possible.

We are in need of Foster and Permanent Homes to get these poor abandoned cats and kittens off the street and into a warm place for the winter. When we find or hear of a cat or family living outside on their own, a member of HHCR finds them and evaluates their situation. In almost all cases the animals are undernourished, hurt, diseased, parasitic, dirty and sometimes freezing to death. When the an

imal is in stable condition they are offered for adoption. As soon as possible in this process the cat is kept in a foster home to be cared for temporarily until adoption. Foster and adoption homes are evaluated to ensure the best situation for the cat(s).

Momma ZINNIA is such a great mom! She still grooms her kittens and looks after them well. She was on the bed with their caregiver in it - giving MANGO a bath to start his day!

GOOD NEWS UPDATE!

After the sad & tragic death of dear MOKA, we weren't sure what was going to happen to his bonded 7.5 year old buddy SPOOKY - who was being fostered with him. SPOOKY & MOKA adored each other - MOKA was her "big brother" who she had been living with since she was brought in as a tiny kitten 7.5 years ago by their former owner (who became hospitalized for life). Well, the amazing foster / adopter decided to adopt SPOOKY tooll! 🙏 SPOOKY is starting to bond to the other cats in the home, and cleverly became bonded to her caregiver.🥰 SPOOKY sleeps under the covers with her head on her caregiver's arm all night long, and sleeps on the work desk while her caregiver works.

PET WELFARE NEWS!

In addition to vet clinics being bought out by large corporations whose goals are profit, pharmacies are being shut out of the market to sell pet meds, often available at a lower cost than a vet clinic!

A joint CBC/Radio-Canada investigation has found that some Canadian veterinary regulators, drug companies and distributors are shutting out pharmacists from ...

Hello from ravenous sisters BOUBOULE & MATACHE!

They eat like this due to their trauma after being accidentally locked in an area with no food for water for days (prior to coming into our care), after their former owner passed away. Thankfully they now eat with less desperation. In addition to being lovers of food., BOUBOULE & MATACHE are lovers of people, and are happiest sitting on laps, playing and snuggling with human caregivers.

California wildfires have devastating impact on wildlife! 💔 😿

The chaparral vegetation, is characterized by grasslands, shrubs, and short woody species designed to come back to life after the planet’s most intense wildfires. In L.A., wealthy suburbs sprawl into these habitats, and roads and development block the animals’ ability to flee elsewhere. If they haven’t already died in the flames or from smoke inhalation, they may starve over the coming days and weeks, as the land is transformed from a vibrant ecosystem into scorched earth......

From fleeing mountain lions to scorched soil, the aftermath of intense fires shows an ecosystem transformed.

Hello from the KAZABAZUA CLAN who are adjusting well in their permanent home!

Poppa KAZ is totally fine and marching around like he owns the place! 🤣He has taken over his adopter's bed and already gone exploring other parts of the home! His kitten daughters are much more timid after the move, and are staying close to their safe areas. However, thanks to having their dad with them, they followed him to the bed for a quick visit, and he led them on a quick exploratory trip out of their safe room. The timid sisters are getting more comfortable everyday!

Sisters BOUBOULE & MATACHE would love their forever home as well! It's almost been a year since their former owner passed away leaving them in a terrible state. They are now both fully vetted, healthy and less traumatized. They would be an amazing addition to a home / family. They are both sooooo sweet, affectionate, playful and have wonderful personalities. They love cuddling on the couch and at night on the bed. They would do well in a home with someone around a lot as they LOVE attention! Please email to give these sweet 5-year-old sisters their forever home together: [email protected]

PEM & BROOKE are doing great in their permanent home! They are super happy exploring all the exciting newness of everything! They sleep with one of their caregivers everynight, and here they are also chasing feet in bed (posted as a comment)!<3

Hello from PEM & BROOKE who are doing well in their new forever home together! Here they are getting to know a new area and getting used to the smells of the resident cats, their new feline family! 🥰

Our beautiful GINGER GATINEAU FAMILY need a home ASAP! Momma ZINNIA and her kittens MANGO & MARIGOLD need to leave their current temporary foster room next week (due to the end of Christmas schedules and space), so rather than moving them to another short-term foster home - why not adopt them now and save them a move? 🙏 If you have a senior cat, did you know that adopting a family grouping is the best scenario for your senior? It has been proven that cats better accept family groupings than a single cat. It makes sense because they will entertain each other, and leave the senior alone if that is what he/she wants. Additionally, Momma ZINNIA is a VERY well mannered cat who respects cat etiquette and her elders (she learned from her time with a colony while she ate with them after being abandoned), and she has trained her kittens to respect their elders as well! 🥰 Please email with questions / to adopt: [email protected]

The taking down of the Christmas tree - another fun part of having a Christmas tree for cats! 😸 Sisters MATACHE (calico) & BOUBOULE (tabby) are having a blast while the Christmas tree gets put away! 🥰 Whoever adopts these gorgeous affectionate playful sisters together will be blessed with a home filled with love and fun! They will definitely keep you entertained, warm (as they cuddle with you in bed and on the couch, and healed (with their sweet loud purrs)! <3 Please email with questions / to adopt: [email protected]

Here's the beautiful GINGER GATINEAU FAMILY still in urgent need of their forever home together - Momma ZINNIA with kittens MANGO & MARIGOLD! <3 Please email to adopt: [email protected]

There nothing like sneezing in your buddy's face and then licking it!! 😂 The always entertaining PEM & BROOKE in their permanent home together! 🥰 This shows how bonded they are and why they needed to stay together. <3
