Update October 17: Thank you Whisker Rescue and Happy Cat Sanctuary for taking our bottle babies into care!

We are absolutely drowning in bottle babies 🍼🐾 — 7 tiny kittens, just 2 weeks old, needing round-the-clock care. The entire staff of Alberta Animal Services is already working around the clock, but we can’t keep this ship afloat without help.

If you are an approved bottle foster through any rescue that is willing to help, or if your rescue can step up, we need you NOW.

Even better — a nursing mama cat could be their lifeline.

Please throw us a life raft — these kittens’ need you!

If you are a rescue willing to help please comment below so that potential fosters can contact you directly for foster information.

🚨 7 Newborn Kittens Abandoned 🚨

Last night (October 14), at approximately 6pm, a citizen discovered 7 two-week-old kittens left outside Clearview Dog and Cat Hospital in a blue Vari kennel. Inside was only a filthy, urine- and feces-soaked towel, offering no warmth or care. The kittens were dropped off to us today.

At just two weeks old, these little ones would not have survived the cold night. It took our entire team today to get them cleaned up —sponge baths, bottle prep, deworming, feeding every two hours, stimulating their bellies, and then starting all over again.

We need to be clear: abandoning animals like this is unacceptable. Vet clinics are not monitored 24/7, and leaving kittens outside is a death sentence. We have reached out to property management to see if security footage can identify who left them.

Rescues and shelters everywhere are at or beyond capacity. Yesterday, when feline intakes reopened, we had a line-up of cats waiting. This kind of situation puts dangerous strain on facilities and staff. If you own an animal, it is your responsibility to care for them. If you find a stray, report it immediately and bring it to us. We are equipped to house, vet, and place animals through our network of over 30 rescues.

These kittens appear healthy (weights between 0.20–0.26kg, 5 males and 2 females), but they require around-the-clock care. Bottle babies are a massive commitment, and while we will do everything in our power for them, this could have been avoided if proper steps were taken.

👉 How you can help:
• Donations of training pads, KMR, 1ml syringes—or maybe some caffeine for our team, apparently, we will need it!
• If you are a rescue with space (yes, we’re laughing with you), please reach out—we’re willing to split the litter if needed.
• Monetary donations can be sent via e-transfer to: [email protected]

Thank you for your continued support.

Enjoy some photos of our Halloween babies!

Adopt The Void—because every haunted house deserves its own shadow. 👻🐾

Meet The Void!

Our sweet 8-month-old void is pure chaos wrapped in fur—and we adore her. She’ll answer to just about anything, because honestly, we just call her The Void.

She’s full of energy, loves to be the boss, and is looking for a home where she can rule the roost and do all the spooky little cat things she dreams of.

📌 Details:
• Indoor-only adoption
• Adoption fee: $262.50 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccines, deworming, and any medical care needed)

If your home is missing a little mischief, The Void is ready to fill that space (and your heart).

Cat Lovers – We Need You!

Right now, we are struggling to find a single rescue with open space for cats. While we rarely open our facility to public adoptions, the need is too great—so we are making our adoptable cats available to approved homes.

Every feline adopted through us comes:
✔️ Spayed/neutered
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Fully vaccinated (FCV x2 & Rabies)
✔️ Dewormed
✔️ With any medical treatment they required while in our care

Adoption fee: $262.50

Our three sweet kittens (6–7 weeks old now) will be ready for their forever homes on Halloween! 🎃

📌 Please note:
• All adoptions require an approved application
• Cats must be kept indoor only

If you’ve been thinking of adding a furry family member, now is the time. You’ll not only gain a loving companion, but also help us make space for the many cats still waiting for safety.

Apply today to meet your new best friend!

***Please check out our adoptable animals folder in our albums. No walk-ins, by appointment only.***

Eldridge: Because Netflix is cool, but have you tried binge-listening to your cat?

Meet Eldridge!

This 2–3 year old handsome hambone is ready to steal the spotlight (and your heart). Eldridge is a chatty guy who will happily talk your ear off, especially if it means more head scratches. He’s a bit dramatic, thrives on attention and affection, and when he’s not busy being the star of the show—you’ll find him enjoying a good snooze.

✨ Looking for a cat with personality? Eldridge is your man.
📌 Adoption application required, indoor-only home.

Great News!

We are so happy to share that all of our recent tests have come back negative, and our cat rooms are safe to reopen.

Beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, October 14 at 11:00 AM, Alberta Animal Services will once again be welcoming stray cats and kittens into our care.

We are incredibly grateful for the community’s patience, support, and understanding while intakes were paused.

Lilith Update

Lilith spent the night at Animal Emergency Hospital on IV fluids. While she has not yet passed the bone seen on her radiographs, she has been diagnosed with bacterial gastroenteritis and has started on antibiotics and nausea medication. She is now resting comfortably back at Alberta Animal Services.

There is still a chance this may not be a simple case of gastroenteritis, but we remain hopeful.

We want to thank everyone who has donated to her care so far. Her vet bill totaled $1,300 and we are still $500 short of covering the costs. If you are able to contribute, no amount is too small. Donations can be e-transferred to [email protected]

Please keep Lilith in your thoughts this Thanksgiving.
