Available Kittens & Cats

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!
Slate	Slate DSH - DOB July 31 2024 Slate is an easygoing kitten with an energetic streak. He loves playing with chase toys and the cat tunnel and is often right in the middle of kitten wrestling games. He is confident but quiet and can take a bit of time to warm up to new people. He has not been interested in interacting with children and will prefer an adult only home. Slate loves having his belly rubbed and if he is invited, will snuggle under the covers in bed with his people (he does need reminders that toes are not for nibbling). He is respectful of the adult cats in his foster home and happy to take direction from his more assertive kitten siblings. Slate likes to be where the family action is but is happy with his own kitten toys and is not prone to mischief. A sunny windowsill is a bonus for him as he likes to watch birds and squirrels outside. Slate will enjoy the company of another cat in his new home; either a similar aged kitten or a young adult.
Flint	Flint DSH - DOB July 31 2024 Flint is a quieter kitten who loves to spend time with his people. He purrs constantly when he is with his people and likes to lie in their laps or pressed up against them. He's a great couch companion! Flint enjoys playing with his siblings but can get overwhelmed with too much wrestling and tumbling; he will remove himself to a quiet spot to watch the action when he's had enough. He loves playing with springs and crinkle toys and is often found chilling out in the cat tunnel. He loves the adult cats in his foster home and is not shy at all when meeting new feline friends. When meeting new people he will hold back and watch what his siblings do before venturing forward but once he is familiar with someone he is trusting and confident. He was overwhelmed by the energy of young children and an adult-only home, or one with teens/young adults will be ideal for him. An adult mentor cat or a young feline friend with an easygoing temperament is a must for him.
Basalt	Basalt DSH - DOB July 31 2024 Basalt is a quieter kitten and an absolute snuggler. He adores being petted and will always choose a cuddle over play time. The moment one of his people is stationary, he is attempting to get into their lap or cuddle beside them. He purrs as soon as he sees someone and loves it when the rest of his litter is busy playing and he gets a human all to himself. Basalt is playful and energetic when kitten games are happening and he is an easygoing kitten who follows the lead of his siblings. He is respectful of the adult cats in his foster home, eager to have their attention, but also backing off when they indicate they need space. He is best suited to an adult only home or one with teenagers/young adults. Basalt must have a feline companion in his new family; either a same aged kitten or a young adult cat who will play with him; and of course lots of available human laps for snuggling.
Granite	Granite DSH - DOB July 31 2024 Granite is a sweet and loving kitten. She loves attention from her people and likes to be where her family is at all times. She vocalizes to let her humans know that she wants attention. Granite is a great cuddler and loves having her head scratched. She is a smart kitten and is the leader of her litter; she likes to be in charge of her brothers especially. Granite is energetic and does not hold back when kitten wrestling starts; she can take on any of her siblings and usually wins. She can be possessive about cat toys and will growl if one of the other kittens tries to take a favourite from her. Granite is a confident kitten but she will let her siblings explore things or new people first before deciding if she wants to join in. It doesn't take her too long to warm up to visitors and she enjoyed playing with older children. Granite needs a feline companion, either an energetic kitten or a young adult, in her new home but she should be the only female cat in her new home.
Marble	Marble DSH - DOB July 31 2024 Marble is a big, goofy boy who is always in the mood for both cuddling and playtime. He is energetic and can always be convinced by his siblings to wrestle or chase. He likes to carry crinkle balls in his mouth and will drop them at the end of the hallway to bat up and down or will bring them into bed to ask his people to play toss. Marble is very affectionate and loves to have his belly rubbed. When he is tired out he will seek out a person for cuddles and sees anyone sitting or lying down as an invitation to snuggle. Marble loves attention from gentle children and is not shy when meeting new people. He adores the adult cats in his foster home but does not always respect their boundaries when they give a request for space; he is oblivious to anything but his own joy at being around them. He must have the companionship of an energetic cat in his new home but one who can tolerate his over the top personality. Marble has not met any dogs but could likely be good friends with a feline-friendly one.
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.
Hematite	Hematite DSH - DOB July 11 2024 Hematite is a sweet and loving kitten who also knows how to wrestle and roughhouse with her two brothers. She can easily entertain herself with any type of cat toy presented to her. Hematite loves to cuddle. She delights in sitting on the back of chairs against your back or on your shoulders. It won’t be long before she gives a warm, soft purr to show her admiration! Hematite is tidy with her food and litter. She is becoming more comfortable with her nails being trimmed. Hematite must be adopted into a home with another feline friend, or better yet, one of her siblings. She has the potential to do well in a home with a gentle, quieter dog. She spent time with young children on a regular basis in her foster home and did well being handled by them with gentle hands. Hematite looks forward to finding her people and forever home!
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.
Giuseppe	Giuseppe DSH - DOB June 8 2024 Giuiseppe came into his foster home as a single kitten and immediately engaged with his new kitten playmates. He is confident and curious, and likes to try to be the boss of the group, even though he is the smallest. He is tidy with his litter and food, but is vocal when other kittens try to intrude in his eating space. Giuseppe is high energy and playful, often with his kitten friends, but he is often found amusing himself with kitten toys. He must have a feline companion in his new home; a similar aged kitten or a young cat who could be persuaded to play occasionally. He is very affectionate when he is tired and will curl up in his person's lap for a snuggle, or lay his head in their hand. He enjoys being brushed. Giuiseppe has enjoyed meeting new people in his foster home and likes the company of older children.
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.
