Available Kittens & Cats

Rooster	Rooster DMH - DOB April 2 2021 Rooster is an affectionate young cat who loves attention from his people. He’s quite vocal in his efforts to seek out affection and enjoys being held, snuggled in laps, or sprawled out on your chest. In return, Rooster will shower you with head bops and kisses. His contentment is clear with a warm purr and the wag of his tail. At night, he loves to be close, often requesting to sleep on or share a pillow with you. When he's in the mood, Rooster enjoys playing with toy mice. He is tidy with his food and litter box and is comfortable with nail trimmings. Rooster recently had his teeth cleaned. He was tested and is FIV negative. Rooster would do best as the only cat in his new home where he can soak up all the attention. He’s comfortable around gentle children, as long as they give him the time and space to approach them. Rooster is eager to find his new home where he can love and be loved in return.
Genie	Genie DSH - DOB August 19 2024 Genie came into her foster home joining 3 cats, another foster kitten and although she was a little timid at first, very quickly adjusted to her new environment and now welcomes visitors to the home at the front door, adults and children included. She absolutely loves playtime with her foster friend Tosey and they often play for hours at a time. Although she is a petite little lady, she also takes great pleasure in chasing one of the resident cats who is much larger than her, all over the house, often pouncing on him from behind and winning the round. Genie also cherishes sleeping in bed with her person, and when so inclined, will cuddle up under her chin and purr herself to sleep. She will also ask to join in on the couch during TV time by pushing herself into a warm lap and looking lovingly up into her person's eyes for the OK to stay. She eats very well and will let her person know if the food dish accidentally becomes empty by providing her very special meow that means she’s hungry. Her litter box habits are very good and she’s not shy about using it if there are others nearby. Brushing is an event she’s still getting used to but will allow it if she’s lazing around in the sun or on a blanket. Nail trimming can be done with one person if done in a couple of different intervals but is easiest when done with 2 people. Genie should have a feline friendly animal companion in her new home. An active kitten or similarly aged young cat (she and Tosey make a wonderful pair!) or a cat-friendly dog will keep her company when her people are out. Genie loves attention from her people and would be a great addition to a family with older children or adults who work/study from home.
Tosey	Tosey DSH - DOB July 25 2024 Tosey came into his foster home joining 3 cats, another foster kitten and was very comfortable from the moment he arrived. He was very happy to meet his new human friends as well as the other cats in the home and began to immediately explore his new environment. As well as playing with his favourite toys, he loves to spend time at the top of the cat tree looking out the window or taking cat naps throughout the day. Playtime with his foster sister Genie is his favourite thing and they play together for hours. If another cat isn’t interested in playing he can amuse himself with cat toys. Tosey is an active and energetic kitten but also a sweet and gentle soul. He loves to sleep beside his person during TV time and will often spend hours cuddling, especially if petting is offered. At night he makes himself at home in bed cuddling up with his person and keeping them warm. He has a great appetite, is tidy with food and likes to test the water by sticking his foot into the dish. He is also very tidy in his litter box. He really enjoys being brushed during cuddle time and done a couple of times per week keeps his fur soft and neat. Nail trimming is best done with 2 people but he is quiet while it's being done and accepts it without argument. He is very respectful of the furniture and has only been seen scratching on the many cat scratchers and posts in the home. Housework is another wonderful pastime for Tosey; he especially loves to help with vacuuming and floor washing by following the vacuum and mop, as well as loading dishes into the dishwasher.. although he has an ulterior motive of looking for any particles that may drop down. He is still learning that counter surfing for food is not an option for kitties. Tosey must have a feline friendly animal companion in his new home. An active kitten or similarly aged young cat (he and Genie make a wonderful pair!) or a cat-friendly dog will keep him busy and out of mischief. Tosey will thrive in a busier household with multiple people to play and cuddle with. He is not shy around people and would enjoy playing with gentle children.
Georgie Porgie	Georgie Porgie DSH - DOB April 2 2024 Note: Georgie & Pie are a bonded pair and will be adopted together. Georgie is a quiet boy who is shy when meeting new people. He prefers to be the one to make the first move, and approaches cautiously but with an endearing curiosity. Once he gets to know you, though, he enjoys pets and will climb into laps looking for a belly rub. He is very tidy with his food and his litter. He loves his sister Pie, and will need to be adopted together as a bonded pair. With Pie, Georgie investigates his surroundings and they love to play tag, run up and down the cat tree and snuggling in laps. Georgie and his sister need a quieter home with older children or adults only. An older mentor cat would also fit well, as Georgie adores the older cat in his foster home. Georgie is looking for that special family who will give him the time, patience and love he craves.
Pie	Pie DSH - DOB April 12 2024 Note: Georgie & Pie are a bonded pair and will be adopted together. Pie is a sweet, cautious young girl with a fiesty side! She is a natural leader who guides her brother Georgie throughout the day. He follows her everywhere. For this reason, they must be adopted as a bonded pair. When introduced to new surroundings or people, Pie is quite cautious and shy. Approached quietly, Pie is slowly responsive. She will come into a lap if the person is sitting quietly and she feels comfortable with that person. Loud nosies and sudden moves still startle her. Pie is active and enjoys playing with scrunch balls, tunnels, and feather wands. She uses her scratch post often and is clean with her litter and food. Pie is a loving girl looking for a home that will provide her with a stable, quiet, and calm environment. Pie needs to be adopted with her brother Georgie into a quiet home with adults and perhaps a mentor cat.
Tiki	Tiki DSH - DOB April 2 2023 Tiki may be past "kitten age" but she still has a lot of joie de vivre in her. Tiki is passive yet spunky and enjoys many, many belly rubs. This is her standard greeting position. She spends much of her day playing with her favorite toys: catnip pillows or crinkle balls. Then 'rub my belly'. She happily tosses, chases and bats them around entertaining herself. This is good because Tiki is most happy as a single cat. Rub my belly. Tiki does not like other cats or dogs and is looking for a family in which she can be the only light torch in your life and receiver of all the attention like rub my belly! She would love a cat tree close to a window to enjoy the view then rest up for the next spurt of energy. She is a great car traveler and easily goes back and forth between home and cottage with no adjustment issues. She is patient with nail trimmings even though she is still getting used to being picked up, carried and cuddled. Then rub my belly. A light soft purr indicates her happiness, and a bit of chatter is great conversation. She is the perfect companion for a single person, couple or quiet household that can devote some time for lots of belly rubs and love. Tiki will light up your life! And don't forget to rub that belly!
Blackberry	Blackberry DSH - DOB February 14 2023 Blackberry came into NHKR care very hesitant to trust humans. With time and patience in her foster home she has made outstanding progress with building relationships with trusted people. When meeting someone new, she will start off erring on the side of caution and can be timid. It could take her a couple of weeks in her new home to gain confidence and feel safe. When she is uncomfortable she will express her feelings by hissing, with wariness rather than aggression. Once Blackberry feels that she can trust her people she begins to let her guard down and show her vulnerable side. She doesn't mind being held for short periods of time. She loves being kissed...her foster mom smothers her with kisses and Blackberry will purr and drool with delight. She loves her ears being gently rubbed and long strokes of petting. She is getting accustomed to being brushed with a silicone brush and nail trims need to be done by someone experienced. She is very tidy in her litter box and has respect for the home and her people's belongings. Blackberry does like to nibble on plants and so her new family will want to ensure that all plants are cat safe and not accessible to her. Blackberry could spend hours in her foster's enclosed cat patio or sitting on the cat perch looking out the window. She has a playful personality but is also content to just chill on a comfy sofa. Blackberry does prefer to be the only cat in her household. She gets along with the feline-friendly dog in her foster home. She prefers the company of older children who have experience with cats and will respect her occasional need for space. Blackberry is a lovely girl who will be the delight of her new family.
River	River DMH - DOB June 2 2022 River is an absolute delight. He loves to give two-paw hugs and snuggle up under the chin, or on the lap, of any of his people. River usually loves to be picked up for snuggles and rubs or pats and will signal when he's had enough by wiggling or jumping down. He talks to his people to tell them when he wants food, company when he is eating, snuggles or playtime. River enjoys watching squirrels and birds from the window, or playing with one of his mouse toys. He may nap on or near one of his people, but is now also often found napping on a comfy couch, chair or on someone's bed. He is a great work from home or study companion! River must be the only cat in his new family. River has adjusted well to living inside again and is accustomed to the daily noises of life in his foster home, although he can be distracted from eating if it is too busy or loud. He has become confident and more independent and has recently begun exploring high places around his foster home. He is generally happy to meet new people and often accepts them quickly. He travels well in the car, as long as his crate is high enough for him to see out the window. River has no teeth and is missing one third of his tongue, so he has particular needs when it comes to eating. It is suspected that he has food allergies so he eats a limited ingredient dry kibble purchased at a pet food store and wet food for cats with food sensitivities from the vet. This dry food's shape and size also enables him to pick up his food more easily. He needs a small steep sided round bowl (which we will provide) to help him pick up his dry food, and once he's done his best, the remaining crunchies are mixed with about a tablespoon of wet food. River has the most success at eating the last food when it is arranged in small piles of 2-4 crunchies (mixed with wet food ) for him in a flat bowl (also provided).
