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).

For those who feed Performatrin ULTRA canned food to cats, and/or for those who would like to donate some to our foster cats - please note that Pet Valu has a good special on now - buying 4 large cans 13.2 oz cans gets you one free can. So in buying 8, you end up with 10 cans! Every bit of saving helps these days, and this is a good food without many of the typical allergens, such as chicken!

Another urgent situation - this poor senior cat is on his own after his owner has been hospitalized for life, and his home is being sold. Is anyone interested in adopting this social, friendly good-with- kids 10-year-old male ginger senior? He can't stay outside for the winter, and his home will soon be sold..... 😿💔 Please email if you can help / adopt: [email protected]

How much longer until the KAZABAZUA CLAN get their forever home?

09/23/2024

MR. LONGSO has another vet appointment today, and is still in urgent need of a home. On an emergency basis, he will be able to go to a temporary foster room - which is allocated for another cat. Mr. LONGSO will be able to stay there for days or maybe a week - until the other cat comes in? Please share far & wide to help him get his forever home (ideal) or long-term foster home. He would love a home with people around a lot, as he is love-starved and is happiest being glued to someone! Please email to adopt or long-term foster: [email protected]

After the seniors, here is youth!

Today is the first day of Fall.....

The sad news is that the panic is on to help and bring inside as many cats / kittens as possible, before the brutal winter comes - causing suffering and starvation for so many! 💔 As the days get cooler and shorter, people tend to cocoon more, and caring for cat(s) in need is great for your mental health! 🥰And there is nothing more cozy than sitting in a warm home with a cat on your knee, or watching kittens / families play. Please email to foster or adopt, so that more hungry & homeless cats from outside can be helped! 🙏

In 2024, the autumnal (fall) equinox arrives on Sunday, September 22, marking the official first day of fall. Here's everything you should know about the fall equinox—plus our favorite fall facts, folklore, photos, and more!

While on the subject of senior cats, abandoned 10-year-old ARTI is in urgent need of a home! 🙏

He's a very sweet, friendly laid-back cats. As you can see, he's totally fine with the resident cats in his foster home, and they with him. There was NEVER any hissing, and they are all comfortable around one another. Here's BYWARD GEORGIE rescue cat (on the right) having a nap in his bed beside ARTI (on the left)!

Time flies - can you believe that it has already been 2 years since ARTHUR was adopted?

Here he is - celebrating his 2nd year anniversary in his wonderful forever home!!!

Hello from the adorable DUSSAULT FAMILY!

As you can see, momma GOYETTE's kittens are almost as big as she is, but they continue to nurse, as she looks after them and grooms them. They are the lucky ones brought in from outside and who have homes!

IN URGENT NEED OF A HOME!!!

Sadly none of the potential owners turned out to be, so Mr. LONGSO here is without a home and in urgent need of one! His rescuer / finder described him as one of THE MOST love-starved needy affectionate cats they have ever come across! He would therefore do well in a home with people around all the time and laps for him to sit on. We don't know how he is around dogs or cats, but if the intros are done slowly and carefully, it should work out. Please email if you are interested in adopting or long-term fostering him until he gets a permanent home: [email protected]
Thanks for sharing to help him!

IS THIS ANYONE'S MISSING CAT?

He's an intact male with a leg injury, found in the Long Sault area on Mon Sept 16. He's unable to put any weight on his sore leg. Please email if you are missing this cat: [email protected]

UPDATE ON FOUND CAT!

This cat found severely emaciated & injured in Long Sault has been examined by our vet. The vet wants to do an x-ray to rule out a fracture, and bloodwork because he is so severely emaciated. The vet says this cat is about 2-3 years old and is not neutered but needs to be. A family thinks it could be their missing cat, however their cat is at least 8 -10 years old, and they said he's thin but not severely emaciated / starving. They also say that their missing cat has te**es that have not dropped, unlike this one's who have dropped. We are waiting to hear back from the potential owners to know how to proceed, but this cat needs urgent immediate vet care. 🙏

Here's probably one of the last family photos of the DUSSAULT FAMILY - before brothers FOURNIER & LAMBERT move to their own forever home! Momma GOYETTE is the one sitting sweetly and posing for the camera, while the kittens are too busy playing! The brothers are enjoying as much time as they can with their momma & sister BERRIAULT. They are very lucky that their foster was willing to foster them until their adopter was back in town!

Hello from the super sweet snuggly lap-kitty ZUA of the KAZABAZUA CLAN!

She and her very bonded twin sister ABA and very bonded father Poppa KAZ (who saved both her & her sister's lives outside after their mother vanished) - would love to be adopted together! Poppa KAZ was an abandoned cat - his former owner left him behind when the home was sold. Poppa KAZ was not neutered when he was abandoned, so he started a family. Thank goodness we got them all sterilized after bringing them in, not to keep that cycle going, and all they need now to finalize their Rescue is a wonderful loving forever home. Please share to help them and email to adopt: [email protected]

Here's 10-year-old ARTI - sitting in the cat-tree bed!

PLEA FOR ADOPTIONS!

There are SOOOOO many hungry & homeless cats out in the streets, that it's heart-breaking and seemingly endless and futile..... 💔 Rescues do not take cats in to start collections of cats - we bring them in to get them vetted and adopted! The adoption fees go towards their vet care, although Rescues fundraise for the majority of vet care.

If there there no adoptions of the cats we have in care, some for a year or longer now, then we are unable to help new cats in need...... Someone in the post below asked if this cat was getting care? We were contacted by a finder to help this cat, and none of the other Rescues they contacted were able to help. Until we get some cats adopted, we have no foster homes to take in new ones. If someone commits to adopting this cat, we can get him to the vet this week and start his vet care. But without adoptions and fewer donations, it's becoming increasingly difficult to help the endless cats, kittens and pregnant cats in need..... Especially when the limited funds go to providing vet care for cats still in foster care....💔 😿

Did you know that tonight is a special full moon?

Watch out, as your cats may be very tempted to sneak out, and look up at the sky! This special full moon is also a Partial Lunar Eclipse; a Supermoon; the Corn Moon; and the Harvest Moon!!! Fall is here in just a few days - can you believe it?

The next full Moon will be Tuesday, September 17, 2024, at 10:35 PM EDT. The Moon will appear full from Monday evening through Thursday morning.

Science shows that cats do grieve the loss of a bonded cat.....
Owners of multi-cat families are well aware of this, and have been so for a while!

As we grieve the loss of a pet, we may not be the only ones feeling the pain. Research is showing that cats who are left behind when another animal in their home dies could be mourning along with us.

The handsome 10-year-old ARTI is still in urgent need of his forever home - who is going to be the lucky adopter of this handsome sweet male cat? Please email to adopt and thanks for sharing to help him find his forever home: [email protected]
