Meringue	Meringue DSH - DOB September 12 2023 Meringue loves people and dogs but not other cats. He is not a clever boy but he is easy going and content. He will happily watch birds and squirrels with no intention of pursuing them. He once ventured out an open door and was frightened and has not repeated that. Meringue enjoys being picked up and carried around accepting wherever he is moved to. He purrs when being brushed and raises his chin for extra scratches. Meringue does not gobble or over eat his kibble but canned food excites him. He allows his nails to be trimmed if extra cheek scratches are included. When he's finished passionately playing with his toys and investigating anything new, then he will curl up in a lap and purr. He is a confident large boy and approaches new situations with no caution. Meringue is looking for a family of adults and hopefully a friendly dog; he has not been exposed to children. Disclosure : Someone temporarily had Meringue in their care when he was unneutered; they also had another unneutered male and an unspayed female cat. During that time the cats were in conflict and Meringue bit someone. In NHKR care, neutered and removed from other cats he has not exhibited this behaviour.
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.
Jynx	Jynx DSH - DOB August 7 2024 Jynx is a quiet and calm kitten - she is the introvert of the Pokemon kittens. Jynx loves to find a spot where she feels safe so she can watch until her siblings investigate and she feels comfortable. Jynx may be the last of the kittens to appear, but when she does she is a loving and affectionate kitten. She enjoys playtime and is an active participant in the adventures her siblings undertake. Jynx absolutely loves to play with anything dangling including shoelaces or drawstrings on clothing. But she truly shines when chasing toys on a string - she is an incredible jumper with an impressive vertical leap, often including twists and flips! Once Jynx is done playing, she is content to find a cozy spot to watch her siblings and particularly enjoys watching the backyard from the cat tree. Once comfortable with people, Jynx enjoys a good nap snuggled with her person. Jynx got along well with the adult cats but was a little wary of the small dog. Jynx will do best in a quieter dog free house but would do well with an active cat or kitten friend and a warm lap for snuggling.
Tiki	Tiki DSH - DOB April 2 2023 Tiki is just over a year old and was very shy and skittish when she first moved into her new foster home. Her preferred sleeping arrangement was under an armchair or bed. Fast forward 2 weeks and this little feline started to show her true personality. She loves to play, especially if her human friends do the throwing or wand waving. She will capture a toy mouse and hurry about with it in her mouth. She rarely sleeps in hiding, preferring her cat tree beside a window. She is slowly showing signs of sitting on a lap and will tolerate being picked up for short periods of time; she will purr happily then squirm to be let down. Tiki needs a quiet home where her human friends will be patient for each stage of her development. She is a great car traveller and easily goes back and forth between her foster family's home and cottage with no adjustment issues. Tiki does not like other cats or dogs and is looking for a family in which she can be the star of the show and receiver of all the cuddles. She is the sweetest little bundle of joy!
Quartz	Quartz DSH - DOB July 31 2024 Quartz is a small but mighty kitten. She is nicknamed "Tiny" by her foster family because she is the smallest in her litter, but she really has the biggest personality. She is very smart and curious and was the first kitten to venture away from mom and out of the kitten nest. Since then she has continued to be a bold explorer and the first to check out new toys and people. Quartz has boundless energy and is always on the go; even when she is cuddling (which she loves) with her people, she is wiggling and trying to get closer or push her siblings out of the lap. She loves wrestling with her siblings and will try to pounce and tackle the adult cats in her foster home. Quartz must have a feline companion in her new home, either another kitten or a young adult cat who will match her energy and tolerate her lack of boundaries. She likes to be the centre of attention and will climb on her person to sit around their neck, giving easy access for giving and getting kisses. She has enjoyed playing with older children and will thrive in a family with lots of time for cuddling and playtime.
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.
Quince	Quince DSH - DOB 2023 Quince is a lovely young girl who loves to explore the house and especially loves to watch birds and other wildlife outside the window. She came to NHKR as a pregnant stray and was an amazing mom to her seven kittens. She is a small girl, so this was quite a feat! Quince loves to play with other cats and is respectful of the older felines in her foster home. She adores the foster family dog and greets her when she comes and goes. She loves to be petted, especially tummy rubs. She is getting used to being held but still prefers to sit with her people and be petted. Quince is an independent cat who will seek out her humans when she wants company and affection. She would be a wonderful companion to another adult cat or to a cat-friendly dog in a quieter, adult home.
Muppet	Muppet DLH - DOB May 8 2019 Muppet is a quiet and quirky young cat. Like his sister, Lady Jane, he was very timid and reluctant to trust people when he first arrived at NHKR but has since made progress. Muppet can still be cautious and skittish, especially around new people and new situations. He benefits from a slow, gentle and patient approach. He is an independent cat who keeps to himself and enjoys a good quiet spot to relax during the day (e.g., under a bed, in the cat house). Muppet loves to have his long, soft hair brushed. He will let you know by jumping up to where you are and reaching out his paw to tap you and signal that he is awaiting your attention. When he’s totally relaxed, he delights in lying on his back and having his belly rubbed. His warm, loud purr will melt your heart. He may even start licking your hand to show his approval. Like his sister, Muppet is a low energy and low maintenance cat. He enjoys lying in your lap even if Lady Jane is already there. He will either plunk himself on top of her or wedge himself where there is no room. Muppet is tidy with his food and litter. He is still learning to become comfortable with nail trimmings and requires an experienced person to accomplish the task. He is making progress with being held by his trusted people for longer periods of time. Muppet is bonded with Lady Jane and they must be adopted together. They would thrive in a quiet home with adults where they can continue to support each other and grow in confidence together.
Lady Jane	Lady Jane DSH - DOB May 8 2019 Lady Jane is a sweet and independent young cat. When she first came to NHKR, she was very shy and hesitant to trust people. She has since made progress and has shown growth in her confidence when around familiar people. Lady Jane is a lower energy cat and is quite content spending her days snoozing alongside her brother, Muppet. They can often be found together in the cat house snuggling and grooming each other. At night, she will retreat to her high perch and snuggle up with her favourite blanket which she will bring with her to her new home. During the night, when the house is quiet, Muppet and her like to play with and chase each other throughout the house. Once she warms up, Lady Jane seeks affection, loves to be pet and brushed with long strokes, and will let you know she is content with a warm, loud purr while rubbing up against you. When she wants to get your attention, she will let out a soft, faint meow. She loves to sit on your lap or share a bed with you at night, if you allow. Lady Jane is tidy with her food and litter. She is not food-driven although she does enjoy the occasional treat. Lady Jane is comfortable being held. She enjoys scratching her paws against a vertical cat post and requires an experienced person to trim her nails. Lady Jane would do best in a quieter home with adults. It will take her some time to become comfortable with new people as she often finds a quiet place to retreat while guests are visiting. Lady Jane is closely bonded with her brother, Muppet, and they must be adopted together. She gives him confidence and companionship. They can’t wait to find their forever home together!
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 of any of his people. Lap snuggles are also high on his list of things to do in a day. He has become confident and more independent as he has learned to trust people and understand that he doesn't have to have his eyes on people all the time to know that they won't leave him. He enjoys watching squirrels and birds from the window, as well as chasing strings on a wand or playing with one of his toys. He likes to nap on his cat tower, or in his cat bed on one of his foster family members desks, or on a chair or couch nearby. He is a great work from home or study companion! River must be an only cat in his new family. He is adjusting well to living inside again and is becoming accustomed to the daily noises of life in his foster home. He is generally happy to meet new people and often accepts them quickly. River usually loves to be picked up for snuggles or pats and will signal when he's had enough by wiggling or jumping down. He may swat (no claws), or bite if he is ignored. While this doesn't hurt (since he has no teeth), if you ignore his 'bites' it may ultimately escalate to him using his claws. He talks to his people to tell them when he wants food, snuggles or playtime. 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 consume his food easier. He needs a small high sided round bowl to help him scoop his dry food up into his mouth, and once he's done his best, the remaining crunchies are mixed with about a tablespoon of wet food mounded in the bowl. He has the most success at eating the last few pieces of dry food when it is arranged in small piles of 2-4 crunchies (mixed with wet food ) for him in his bowl.
