Click HERE to see some more cats up for adoption!

"ADOPTED" means that the cat has gone to its new home.

"ADOPTION PENDING" means that the cat currently has adoption papers filled out on him/her, but is still at the shelter either waiting for the application to be processed or waiting to be spayed or neutered.

MISSY

*Missy is currently in foster care to give her a break from cage life. She is still up for adoption! Please call to inquire.*

Missy is a 3 year old spayed brown tabby female kitty who was adopted from the NHS and brought back because her owner developed allergies to her. Missy is a little grouchy when it comes to other cats and dogs, but she could probably be fine in a home with another VERY laidback cat. She does not seem to mind being held and is very affectionate when she wants to be. Missy has been back at the NHS since March 25th, 2008.

FRISKA

Friska is female, spayed, 2 year old, exotic cross. She came to be at the NHS because she was found abandoned with her 5 kittens. She is a very unique looking cat, with an interesting face and coat colour/texture. Her coat is actually termed "black smoke" as it is black on top but has a white undercoat as can be seen in the picture. Friska is very energetic and loves to play, particularly with crinkly balls. We feel that Friska's playful attitude would go well with another cat that age, as she tends to annoy the quieter cats with her insistent playing. Friska has been at the NHS since April of 2009.

BRUCE

Bruce is a 4-5 year old neutered male long haired cat who originally came to the NHS because he was found abandoned at the side of a road. He is generally more of a quieter cat and likes to stick to himself, however he does have a surprisingly playful attitude; sometimes too playful as he is known to give playful bites from time to time. Bruce was adopted but was brought back because he was not getting along with the other cat in the home or the child. Bruce will be happiest in a quiet home with no other cats or children. Also because Bruce is long-haired, he will need someone to help him keep his fur looking great and tolerates being brushed for about 10 minuntes at a time. Bruce has been back at the shelter since November 2009.

CODY

Cody is an 10 month old shorthair male kitten with HUGE ROUND EYES. In the photo to the left he was just 8 weeks old or so - as you can see he has grown! A man found Cody and his sibling when they were very young and needed bottle feeding. The man agreed to foster them for the NHS, and was able to find a home for Cody's sibling, but Cody is at the NHS waiting for a home. He is an energetic boy who tends to get a bit carried away at times when he plays with other cats- (he is sometimes referred to as the bully on the playground). However when he wants affection, he can be very loving and purrs quite loudly. Cody has been at the NHS since December 30, 2009.

PERRY- Perry is at Paulmac's. Please stop in and visit him there!

*Sponsored By Lydia Robertson through the Animal Guardian Sponsorship Program*

Perry is a 1 year old male, neutered kitty who was abandoned here at the shelter with Friska. Perry is a very friendly cat and enjoys hugging and lightly touching your face with his paws. He will, given the chance, play with toys and work himself up to the point he forgets there is a toy and just starts racing around chasing nothing. He bonded well with another male cat who has since been adopted, however he may be best with female cats in his new home as he can sometimes be aggressive with other unneutered male cats.

TIGGER

*Sponsored by Walsh Mountain Ironworks, Glam Vintage and Modern, Monogrammes and Lampworks and C'est Please*

Tigger is a 2 year old neutered male cat who has been through a rough time. His owner passed away recently so he was taken in by a friend of the family. Unfortunately a ferret was already in residence there and believe it or not, the cat and the ferret just couldn’t get along. So Tigger was surrendered to the NHS, which was his third home in about 3 months! Despite his ordeal, he's to be a very friendly cat who enjoys being picked up and petted. He also has a unique coat colour called "black smoke" which means that it is black on the outside but white underneath. He would be best with older children and best with no dogs in the home as he did not react well when introduced to one at the NHS. Tigger has been at the NHS since January 30, 2010.

TINKERBELL

Tinkerbell is a recently spayed female cat who is 8 years old cat. She was given up by her owner because her owner could no longer care for all of her cats properly. Tinkerbell is a friendly cat who also tolerates other cats. She can be affectionate at times as well. She was just introduced to a small dog (August 23, 2010) and reacted quite well, although would probably still prefer a home with no dogs and older children in her new home. Tinkerbell has been at the NHS since March 9, 2010.

MISTY - ADOPTED!

Misty is a 4 year old spayed,female cat who was given up by her owner because her owner had too many cats and could not afford to take care of them all properly. Misty is a friendly cat who doesn’t mind being held for short periods. She would be best as the only pet in the home though. Misty has been at the NHS since March 9, 2010.

BUDDY

Buddy is back :(

Buddy is a 1 year old neutered male kitty who was adopted from the NHS, but then brought back because he wasn't getting along with the dogs in the home. Buddy has also shown, since his return, that he is not good with other cats, either. Buddy is an affectionate cat though, and will probably be great as the only pet in a home with older or no children.

Buddy has been back at the NHS since April 2010.

HARLEY

Harley is a male, 3-4 year old, neutered cat who came to be at the NHS because he was found abandoned outside. He is a friendly cat who doesn't mind being picked up and cuddled. He may have been abandoned for quite some time though as he doesn't seem to know how to play with toys very well. He was on the raw food diet to help with his digestion, but has recently been switched to dry food and is still doing quite well. He seems okay with other cats and would most likely be okay with children. He will be tested with a dog soon to see how he reacts. Harley has been at the NHS since April 2010.

ORCHID

Orchid is a female spayed 1-2 year old cat who was found abandoned with another female cat and 9 kittens. She is an affectionate cat who has a laid-back personality. She likes to be picked up and petted and would be okay with children and other cats. She has not yet been tested with dogs.

LILY, AZALEA, MANDRAKE, DAISY, and WILLY WONKA (separate photo)

These five kittens are about 5 months old and came from a litter of nine - okay, truth be told, it was two litters, but they all look the same and they happily shared the 2 moms they were found with, so how could we ever know who came from which mom?!

These lovely babies were found abandoned under a porch with their 2 mums at only one week old. They are okay with other cats and we still believe they should adjust to dogs, despite having seen that as dogs come and go they still arch their backs and puff their tails!

These kittens have been at the NHS since early June 2010.

BADGER, CHIPMUNK, SQUIRREL, MOUSE, SHREW, MINK

Badger and Chipmunk are both males while the other 4 kittens located in the picture below are all females. They were rescued through an animal cruelty investigation in June of 2010 and are now about 4 months old. They are typical kittens who are very affectionate and who would fit into just about any home!

BRIT AND AMIE

Brit is a 5 month old female kitty who was found abandoned in a box in someone's driveway. She is always playing and rough-housing with other kittens her age and should adjust readily to homes with cats, dogs or kids. (She did arch her back when introduced to a small breed dog, but she should adjust to a dog given her age). Brit has been at the NHS since early June 2010.

Amie is a female 4 month old kitten. She is a friendly cat who likes to be picked up and cuddled. She is great with other cats (she now shares a cage with Brit) and would be good with children too.

GAVIN AND BOSCO

Gavin and Bosco are 5 month old male cats. They were abandoned in an apartment like so many of our young cats. Gavin and Bosco went through quite the trauma of no food and water for 3 days, in a very hot small space. However you would never guess that these 2 crazy kittens had ever had a bad experience. Now they insist on being held and petted and held some more. Both cats love other cats and will insistently harass any cat that comes to their cage. Although they are wary of dogs they would likely adjust given some time. Gavin and Bosco would be good with children and would likely match or exceed the energy level most children have! Both these cats would do well in a home together or with another companion cat.

BOGUS

Bogus is a female, rare orange coloured cat and is about 2 years old. She was found abandoned in an apartment with a few other cats. She likes to be petted for short periods but would prefer to keep all four feet on the ground. She was not too happy to see a small breed dog and actually lashed out at the dog! It's a safe bet that she would be happier in a home with no dogs.

BAILEY AND BEAU

These are two short-haired male kittens who are about 14 weeks old now.

APRICOT

Apricot is a 2 year old spayed female kitty who was found abandoned with another kitty named Ned. Apricot is a timid but affectionate kitty who would probably prefer a quiet home, but may adjust to others as well. It is not a known fact that she misses Ned, but they'd probably enjoy going to their new home together :) She may be best in a home with no dogs as her introduction to a small breed dog did not go very well!

NED - ADOPTION PENDING!

Ned is a male, 1-2 year old cat who was found abandoned with Apricot. He loves to be petted and seems to be okay with most other cats. He is quite the talker though, so be prepared to keep up a conversation with him! He was not fond of the small breed dog that he was introduced to so would most likely be best without dogs in the home.

AVA & KAMI

Ava and Kami are 5 month old female kitties who came to the NHS because they were abandoned in an apartment. These girls are quite affectionate and don't mind being held for short periods.

RHYS AND JESSE

Rhys (pronounced Reese - left) and Jesse are two 5 month old male kittens who were rescued through the feral cat program when they were very young kittens. They enjoyed life in foster care to get them used to being indoors and are now at the shelter waiting to be adopted. They are affectionate and zany kittens. Be prepared to throw away your TV if you bring these two bundles of joy home as they may just entertain you for hours! They would adjust to just about any home!

REDGE AND RHETT

These two 3-4 year old neutered males came to the NHS because the owner could no longer care for them. They seem to be a very well bonded pair and the NHS thinks that they would be best adopted together. They are still adjusting to shelter life as they are new arrivals but will arch their backs in gratitude when they are being petted. They would be best as the only pets in the home and would prefer a home with older children in a quieter household. Redge and Rhett have been at the NHS since July 2010.

BRODY

Brody is a male 10 month old, neutered cat who was adopted out but brought back when he was playing too roughly with the kitten in the home. Brody is an extremely affectionate cat who loves attention. When staff are cleaning his cage in the morning, he is always in their faces and rubbing up against them as opposed to using his exercise time to stretch and play. He would still be okay with other cats, just with ones more his own age and size. When introduced to a dog, he ran! Brody has been back at the NHS since August 14, 2010.

COCOA

Although not particularly photogenic, this sweet and gentle kitty is bound to steal your heart!

Cocoa is a female, 1-2 year old cat who was surrendered to the NHS by her owner because her owner had too many cats to take care of properly. Cocoa is an affectionate cat who loves to be petted. She is okay with other cats and when introduced to a small breed dog, she reacted very well. (Well she actually ignored the dog more than anything!)

CHARLIE

Charlie is a 4 year old, neutered and declawed male cat. He was found abandoned on someone's front step. He seems to be a friendly boy who gets along well with some cats. Charlie is a bit on the large side but that just means that there is more of him to love! Charlie has been at the NHS since August 2010.

AMY, DOLLY, VINCE AND KENNY

Amy (black and white female/top left picture)

Dolly (mostly black female/top right picture)

Vince (mostly black male/bottom left picture)

Kenny, (tuxedo coloured male/bottom right photo)

These kittens were rescued from the feral cat program when they were very young and were transferred to a foster home to be socialized. They are now about 10 weeks old and are at the shelter waiting to be adopted. Dolly is the only one who is still a bit timid but with enough time she will be as affectionate as her brothers and sister.

FROGGER

Frogger is a 1 year old male. He appears to be an exotic breed cross as he has a slightly squishy face. Frogger, along with another cat who is now adopted, was abandoned with someone who could not keep them. He is also a talker! He seems to be okay with other cats and would probably be okay with children as well. He has not yet been tested with dogs.

BEATRICE

Beatrice is a an 8 year old female cat who was surrendered to the NHS because her owner had too many cats to care for properly. When getting her picture taken she seemed starved for affection as all she wanted was to be petted and loved. As a result she is an extremely affectionate cat who would probably do best in a home with only one other cat, so that she could ensure that she would get a lot of attention.

MILEA

Milea is a 10 year old female declawed cat (however she is apparently NOT spayed). She was surrendered to the NHS because her owner had too many cats to care for properly. She was also quite affectionate when getting her picture taken and would enjoy a home where she could be petted all day long! Milea did not seem to like a dog that was in the same room with her, but should be okay in a home with another cat and with older children.

PATCHES

Patches is a 1 year old neutered male. He was surrendered through an investigation due to a terrible flea bite allergy which has caused him to lose a lot of his fur on his back end area. He did live with a small breed dog in his previous home so he should be okay with another dog in his new home. When he was getting his picture taken, he was very scared and was actually shaking. Patches will need some extra time to adjust to shelter life and his new home.

OPHELIA (Adoption Pending!) AND OTIS

Ophelia is a 12 week old female kitten (left) and Otis is a 12 week old male kitten (right). They were surrendered to the NHS through an investigation. They are currently on the shy side right now but should come around given their young age.

BUBBLES

Bubbles is a 1 year old female cat who was surrendered to the NHS because her owner had too many cats to take care of Bubbles properly. When Bubbles arrived at the NHS with her 10 kittens, they all were filthy and had to be bathed immediately. Surprisingly enough, Bubbles LOVED the bath (which was how she got her name). Bubbles is an extremely affectionate cat, much like Brody is, and would make a great addition to just about any home. Bubbles has not yet been tested with dogs though.
