Available Kittens & Cats

Monarch	Monarch DSH - DOB May 7 2024 Monarch came into the foster home and joined another kitten. She was initially quite shy and perferred time on her own, however, with some gentle reassurance and patience she adjusted really well to her new environment and is now enjoying not only her person but also visitors to the home. She enjoys playtime with the 3 other cats in the home and especially loves to chase the boy all over the house and tease him by playing with his tail and as an enticement to get him to play with her. Beside enjoying frollicking with the other cats, her toys are also one of her favourite passtimes and will often amuse herself by playing all on her own. She is quite comical to watch while she throws the toys in the air and gives them chase and has given her person, and visitors many hours of laughter. As much as Monarch enjoys playtime, she is a sweet and gentle soul and really loves lap time and sleeping with her person. She will take the liberty of plopping down when the mood suits her which is often, and especially in bed, and will spend hours cuddling, especially if petting is also provided. When she needs some alone time, can be found sleeping in various places in the house as well as gazing out the window from her cat window bed and watching the world happen. Monarch has a good appetite and is tidy with food and water, as well as in the litter box. Grooming is allowed and best accomplished during her beloved nap/cuddle time. Nail trimming is best done with 2 people but she is quiet while it's being done accepts it without argument. She is very respectful of the furniture and has only been seen scratching on cat trees. A quiet, loving home with or without children and with a young, active male as a playmate and companion would be best suited for Monarch.
Sundara	Sundara DSH - DOB April 17 2023 Sundara is beautiful but she is a bit of a drama queen. She needs a family looking for a cat whose personality is “outside the box". She came to NHKR with kittens which she raised outdoors. It's taken a while for her to calm down and become accustomed to indoor living - which she has discovered the benefits of and does not attempt to go outside. Sundara loves to play and enthusiastically chases toys, bounding everywhere at full speed. She is fearless and must investigate everything - jumping into the refrigerator, dishwasher, any open drawers.... and she ignores any direction to cease doing this. Sundara has fully embraced the idea that cats have staff; she will request to be picked up only to then want down again. She will settle in a lap but leave if she receives pets…or on a whim she may decide to stay. She is chatty and enjoys a good conversation but you are expected to know what she wants. Sundara learns instantly; if you do something she approves of, it must be repeated. She considers herself royalty and eats on the cat scratcher as the floor is for the "others" and she prefers fresh water from the sink. In return for being her servant you will laugh multiple times a day, be mentally stimulated and have company under the covers at night. She allows her nails to be done with verbal protests and wiggling. Sundara must smell/ sample everything that could be food, but she doesn't necessarily want to eat it - she is not food motivated. When fostered with other cats she initially hissed and swatted at them creating lots of drama, when they ignored her she soon stopped and gets along with both males and females but she will not tolerate kittens. She had no reaction to meeting a friendly dog. Her new owners must be tolerant experienced cat people who have other pets or time to engage and challenge her.
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.
Muppet	Muppet DLH - DOB May 8 2019 Note: Muppet & Lady Jane are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. 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, such as under a duvet on a bed. 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 Note: Muppet & Lady Jane are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. 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 as “lumps on a bed” as they love to retreat under a duvet on a bed to snooze the day away. Lady Jane also likes to relax on the edge of a bathtub in between two shower curtains. She loves to groom her brother and vice versa. 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 for short periods of time. 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, 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).
