A Whisker Away Professional Feline Grooming and Pet Sitting I was born in Bowness, Calgary and my family moved to Cochrane in 1984 when the population was less than 4,000!

It was an ideal place to grow up and after a few moves and some eye-opening world travel, I am once again a Cochranite, although the town is much different than when I first moved into Calgary almost fifteen years ago. I am a self-admitted crazy cat lady and an all-around animal nut through and through. My life has been filled with critters of all kinds; from many types of domestic pets to a wide

variety of farm animals, as well as wild and semi-wild animals. I can't imagine it any other way. I am certified in pet first aid and worked for years in veterinary hospitals, both family and emergency. I look forward to adding your furry, feathery and scaley family members to my extended critter family. Contact me today to arrange a meet and greet with you and your pets!

South Cochrane: My friend Millie is lost somewhere in The Willows. She’s most likely scared and hiding or maybe someone has taken her in. Please, please, please join the search party by having a look in your garage, shed, under steps and porches and in any dark hiding spaces with a flashlight and watch for the reflection of cat eyes. She’s an extremely sweet girl and her family misses her very much!

Paprika is one of our longest resident cats - please share to help find her a home! 💜

With a name like Paprika you’d expect some spice, but she’s the perfect amount with just a little bit of sass. In foster care she’s learning clicker training, she knows her name, and she loves to figure out a new treat puzzle! Being with her people is the best, and she tolerates her furry foster siblings (although she is definitely the queen of the house). Paprika has well managed kidney disease, and with her special diet, she’s thriving. Paprika is a brave girl who’s looking for a home that will give her the love she deserves. 🐾

To learn more about Paprika, contact our Adoption Team at [email protected].

Thinking about adding to your family in 2025? Tucker would love to meet you!

Thinking about adding to your family in 2025? Tucker would love to meet you!

Sweet boy Tucker has been waiting for his forever family for so long… 😔

Tucker arrived back in summer 2023 - a concerned member of the public reported that he had been living outdoors in less than ideal conditions, and ultimately law enforcement seized him and brought him to the shelter. He remained at the shelter for six months, and then was transferred to another shelter in hopes that he would have better success with a new adopter pool. Unfortunately he remained at that shelter for a year without finding a home, and CAHS opted to take him back into our care once again. Now almost 2.5 years old, Tucker has spent more than half of his life in a shelter. 😭

He is a friendly and energetic young guy who loves to go hiking and play with other dogs. Luckily one of our amazing foster homes agreed to host him so he didn’t have to stay in the shelter, and now he is just waiting for his forever family! 🏠

Oh my heart!🥹💕🐾 Where are my senior kitty lovers?!? Just look at these two stately gentlemen!

Wally and Puffin have seen some things in their 19 years but these resilient boys remain loyal and bonded brothers. They’re sweet and friendly, independent yet cuddly. They fill their days with snacks and naps, happiest curled up in a comfortable bed and if there’s a sunbeam to bask in, even better. These sweet boys deserve a loving home where they can live out their bonus years as part of a family.

Please share this page to Help Bring Murphy Home. There is a very good chance that someone has him and needs to see how much he is missed by his family!

Murphy has been missing since July 7, 2024 from Cochrane, AB. He was last seen at Spring Hill RV Park. Please spread the word so we can get this out to all the local Canadian people. We need all your help to find him.

Oreo had his very first ‘spaw’ day with me and feels so much better already. I hope he knows he looks like a show cat! 💕...

In my pursuit of attaining certification as a feline master groomer, I’ll be training and testing with the amazing @cattycaninesinc in Edmonton for the next couple of days. I’ll respond to all messages as soon as possible! #catgrooming #cfmg #ncgi #acleancatisahappycat #cochranealberta #catlover #awhiskeraway #ilovemyjob #ncgi #continuingeducation

Paprika (who I nicknamed ‘Tiny Spice’ due to her size 😹) is available for adoption through @cochranehumane and would be an incredible companion to someone wanting a very interactive, energetic and communicative fur friend. She’s capable of learning tricks and I think she might enjoy being a harness trained adventure kitty. Paprika and I had full ‘meowversations’ during her groom and she cracked me up constantly with her quirky antics. Please contact the Cochrane and Area Humane Society if you’d like more information about adopting this sweet little goofball! #cochranehumane #adoptdontshop #adoptme #rescuecat #redtabby #catgrooming #cochrane #cochranealberta #cochranesmallbusiness #cochranemoms #cochraneloveslocal #cochraneab #cochranebusiness #cochraneliving #cochranelife #cochranehumanesociety #awhiskeraway #acleancatisahappycat

Twitch is still strutting around like a king after his groom. His confidence is through the roof! A clean cat is a happy cat! #catgrooming #acleancatisahappycat #catlover #cochranealberta #cochrane

I affectionately refer to Twitch as my little dirtbag. He’s not a fan of grooming but he has trouble keeping his long hair under control. He’s also prone to hairballs, so regular grooming is important. He’s a very challenging cat to groom but it’s all worth it when he feels like a supermeowdel afterwards! #catgrooming #cochranealberta #acleancatisahappycat #custompetboutique #ncgi #cattyshackvac #lespoochsluxury #chrischristensen #happyhoodie #wetcat #catbathtime #cochraneloveslocal #catlover #awhiskeraway
