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).

Looks like coyotes are better for the environment than we humans are! They do good - we just destroy....

Coyotes aren’t invading our spaces.
They’re surviving in what remains of theirs.

They keep rodent populations in check, reduce crop loss, and prevent ecosystem collapse — often doing the work humans no longer can.

Erasing coyotes doesn’t make nature safer.
It makes it unstable. 🐺🌾

Here is the sweet handsome affectionate JAMES of the MAYO HUNTING CAMP TRIO! Despite his anaemia, he is full of energy and is enjoying exploring and running around! He also likes sitting in laps. Here's hoping that 007 comes in soon, so we know if they are all bonded and need to be adopted together or not? Please email with questions / to adopt: [email protected]

007 of the MAYO HUNTING CAMP TRIO drank some water this morning, but was not interested in food, so didn't go into the trap! It's great that he/she is still around - what a challenge to get 007 in! Hoping it happens soon! 🙏

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM CARAMEL!!!
CARAMEL is doing great in his wonderful new life. CARAMEL lost his previous home due to his elderly owners going into care and passing away. He was left in quite a mess - living in a small care home room with only days to vacate it, health issues including urinary crystals & morbid obesity at only 4 years old. His fur was so severely matted that it was extremely painful for him to be touched, so he was scared of people and couldn't be picked up. We got him all vetted, his whole back shaved to remove the matts, put him on a weight-loss program, changed his diet to a healthy one and found him an amazing furever home with fantastic cat owners! Now CARAMEL is a super happy cat who loves hanging out and greeting visitors & passers-by through the glass door & windows! People come by just to say hello to this handsome boy! He likes being cuddled and can be carried. He gets brushed all the time so he will never be matted again. He's so fit now, he can jump up onto counters (whereas previously he could barely stand or walk). He has a cat sister, and they play chase together and run up & down the stairs! And he also loves going to the cottage with his family, where he spent his 1st Christmas! He is a fantastic cat and so well loved.🥰So never pass on a cat because it doesn't meet your requirements! Look instead how can you help the cat. If you provide it with the love, food & vet care it needs, it will flourish and become your happiest most loving cat who cuddles in bed with you! 😻Thank you to the wonderful fosters & adopters who got him on his healing journey to good health and a great new life! ❤

Miss BOND of the MAYO HUNTING CAMP TRIO - loves her shark bed!! She is still a little apprehensive after sooooo many changes, having her world turned upside down and all the different people. Hopefully she will be able to relax soon. 🙏 She & JAMES (and 007) would love a permanent home together - please email to adopt: [email protected]

GRACESON is still timid around people and his adopters, but he loves getting forehead scratches with a toothbrush. It relaxes him and he closes his eyes in contentment.

ANIMALS ARE MUCH SMARTER THAN HUMANS!
While humans argued how to best prevent muddy acidic runoff they caused from spilling into the Klabava River in the Brdy region of the Czech Republic and damaging sensitive ecosystems - beavers solved the problem! Paperwork, permits, and land-use talks dragged on FOR 7 YEARS and when people showed up in January, they found the problem had been solved! "A colony of beavers had built a series of dams right where the plan needed them, which helped slow and spread the water, creating a wetland that worked like a natural filter." Officials estimated the beavers saved the county about $1.2 million. And the beaver solution was even better than the human plan - it created pools and channels full of life. ❤

After plans stalled for a new dam in the Czech Republic, eight beavers saved the day seemingly overnight. “At this point, nothing that beavers do surprises me.”

ANOTHER CAT IN URGENT NEED OF A HOME!!
This poor cat has been struggling outside for 3 years, and the neighbours feeding him finally succeeded in trapping him. They got him into their garage and are looking for a Rescue to intake and fully vet him. We would if we could, but have no available long-term foster. If you've been looking for a gorgeous black cat to adopt and commit to - please email us at: [email protected]
If you're unable to adopt, please share far & wide - maybe another Rescue can intake this poor cat in urgent need?🙏

Sad news regarding JAMES of the MAYO HUNTING CAMP TRIO.
JAMES' bloodwork is not all back yet, but sadly what has come through shows that his anemia has not improved.💔 He is FIV & Feline Leukemia NEGATIVE, so possible cause for the anemia is Haemobartonella Felis (now Mycoplasma haemofelis - a bacteria that attaches to & destroys red blood cells, causing feline infectious anemia). This means that his scheduled neuter tomorrow can't proceed. Hopefully JAMES can be treated with meds and won't need a transfusion?🙏If JAMES was dumped outside, shame on you for allowing this poor sweet affectionate gentle soul to suffer, freeze & starve outside and end up with this! 😡

Here's Mr. CARLETON RUBBLE after his surgery, having a cuddle with his adopters on the bed. He needs daily eye compresses + oral meds. In two weeks time, he goes back to the Clinic to have his stitches removed. GRACESON is a HUGE support to CARLETON - he stays glued to his side with healing purrs. He knows his friend is not feeling well, and is helping him.🥰The first thing CARLETON did when he got home was to RUN to lay beside GRACESON. They have a very strong beautiful bond already!
