The cats below are available for adoption at the Lethbridge and District Humane Society. To view any of the cats, you will need to make an appointment by calling 403-320-8991.
| Tchaikovsky & Debussy (Born: August 22/21) | Tchaikovsky & Debussy are the typical brothers who sometimes annoy each other but mostly enjoy having grand adventures together. I’m not saying these two are bonded and have to together but they will need another cat around to keep them busy as they are active, curious kittens when they’re not looking for cuddles. |  |
| Dash | Dash is actually a shy little man, even though he does have some energy! He’s looking for a quiet house with someone who can give him unlimited scritches, doesn’t move too fast and likes to spend money on toys that he will hide under your couch so you’ll buy him more toys. Younger children need not apply! They just move in unexpected ways and smell funny. |  |
| Tahoe | This boy talks back and bosses you around and won’t stay still for a picture but he will if you’re ignoring him while also yelling at you for your audacity! Tahoe’s a sweet boy, he’s just not your typical cat. He likes to talk, he lands his jumps like an elephant and he does as he pleases… ok, well that one’s pretty cat typical… Anyways, he’s looking for someone to train – I mean, someone to love and spend the rest of his days with |  |
| Peppo | Peppo is still with us, despite his winning smile when you scratch his head or his willingness to distract you from whatever work you’re doing, because Peppo’s philosophy is “Will you regret all of the work you didn’t accomplish when you’re on your death bed? Or will you regret not spending time with those you love the most?” By which he means himself – Peppo is who you love the most. I suspect it will take him some time to adjust to a home life, as he’s been at the shelter for what he remembers of his existence. Homes have different schedules, strange smells, and vacuums! So please be patient if you’re taking a long-termer home. |  |
| Enola | Enola was found, by her lonesome, outside a gym. Now, you would think she is some kind of gym rat, but you couldn’t be more wrong. Is she active and silly? Of course – she’s a kitten! But her idea of ‘working out’ is zoomies for 10 minutes, followed by a meal and a nap. She’s never going to get into one of those body building competitions and she’s not going to be encouraging you to, either, because that means you’re going to be spending an unconscionable amount of time away from her! Enola is a little bit chatty, won’t move from the middle when you want to go to bed and likes to lie on the floor while you scrub her fur back and forth but she’s also a great listener, likes to help you work on the computer and will hide your phone so you can practice being more ‘present’. |  |
| Jingles | Jingles likes to find her own spot with a good toy and hang out by herself. You know, like when you have lunch in your car to decompress from the overly active, highly needy customer base that constitutes 95% of your job and you just wish you could say the things but then you’d get fired and that would look terrible!…Jingles. We’re talking about Jingles. Look, I’m not saying that Jingles won’t get along with other cats, she just doesn’t have the energy to be friendly with the other cats. Like, they touch her toys and try to lick her and are just generally annoying. And she definitely wouldn’t be putting up with these entitled jerks that expect you to give them service even when their attitude is a problem. No way – and neither should you! You deserve to be treated like a human being! And so does Jingles! Don’t forget about the massages. For you, too. |  |
| Tabitha | Tabitha is one of our beautiful, shy girls that likes things to stay the same all the time. Yup, she’s basically the reincarnation of your sweet little great grandmother with the bowl of hard candies and who had to have her tea, AT TEA TIME and hated it when ‘those whippersnappers’ were being too loud and would give you a dollar and say ‘don’t spend it all in one place now’ and there was no doubt she loved you to the moon and back. Tabitha will enjoy a quiet house with no young children and maybe a laid back dog that doesn’t jump around. If you really want to win her over, she loves ribbons! Get yourself a wand with some and she’ll forget all about tea time. |  |
| Sonny | This character is still available! He will give you joy and stories and maybe even generate so much heat at night that you’ll need less blankets! And he’d prefer to be the one and only in your life, so there’s no having to balance love between the animals – you can just give it all to him! Just remember your 3s! 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn the new routine and 3 months to feel at home. Is this dependant upon the animal? Of course! But this is a good starting point! |  |
| Satin & Chenille | Satin is the more outgoing one and wants affection more often than not. Chenille is the shy and sweet one. I mean, these sisters both have a healthy dose of stranger danger. They won’t crawl into your lap right away. They have to know that they can trust you 1st! And then they’ll start showing off. Like, letting you know they know where the good food is stored and – their favorite – the Disappearing Cat Toy trick! |  |
| Sundance | Sundance’s update includes the fact that he has since irritated everyone to the point that he is now in exile and is no longer allowed to come out with anyone else because he’s having a hard time figuring out BOUNDARIES. He just doesn’t get why the hoomans laugh with him and love him but the other cats get all bent out of shape when he dive bombs them or steals their food jeesh, there’s more somewhere! Just ask the peoples! So, ya, Sundance might just have to be your one and only. Ever have one of those birthdays that turned into a 3 day bender and there was too much dancing and too much… well, everything? Ya, Sundance doesn’t understand that reference either. Why? Because this little boy just celebrated his 1st birthday with us and we didn’t take him out on a wild night on the town because we’re all way too tired to waste a weekend on anything but napping. Sundance will nap, sometimes. His real love is being Master Hide-&-Seeker with a side hustle in Sprinting. He’s about as old and as smart as a toddler and he enjoys leading us in his version of exercise class right around the time when we have to put him away so we can go home. He also has no idea why the older cats don’t want to play. Like, what’s their deal? Why’re they so cranky? So, yes, if there’s a buddy in Sundance’s future, make it a tolerant and/or active one because he doesn’t get the whole boundary thing very well. |  |
| Samson | Samson came to foster care after hist mama disappeared and now he thinks he’s a little person. He has a penchant for chicken and smelly feet and inhabiting your lap for inordinate amounts of time. Samson will cry for you to throw a finger trap or a spring so he can play fetch. He intends to take over your world, so be prepared! (Samson is the picture on the left) |  |
| Indy | When I heard “Indy”, I thought of Indiana Jones (am I aging myself?). But this is not the adventurous Indiana Jones, this is Indy and she’s much more professor and much less Lara Croft. Which is good – who wants a wrecking ball in your house, using your curtains to recreate the old pirate movies and your couch as the unfound ancient tomb of Cleopatra? You don’t want some irresponsible, so called archeologist in your house, you want a mild mannered, curious and patient sweetheart in your house, Am I right?. This is Indy’s face every time I tell her she’s a beautiful girl. “Ya, I know. Why are you sucking up? What do you want?” Despite her mild mistrust when given compliments, Indy is a sweetheart still waiting for someone to take her home and admire her beauty while she lays in the sun or enacts the Law of Cat, which is If a cat has chosen you to sleep on, you are forthwith excused from all responsibilities, including work, until such time as said cat chooses to leave*. *This is not legal advice.* |  |
| Schuler | Schuler was named after the place she just nonchalantly walked into one day. Yes, it was the Helen Schuler Nature Centre and, yes, she walked in like any other patron. After having a little look around, she parked her pregnant self on a bench and waited patiently for someone to come pick her up. Now she’s had her kittens, her shots and her spay and she’s looking for the next adventure! Schu Schu is only about two years old (she was very young to be pregnant) so she still has some kitten energy to get out. She’s quietly curious and likes to know what you’re up to but not so much that she’s in your face about it. Schuler is quietly hanging around, waiting for her chance to just move herself on into your house. It’s kind of her MO. Walk in, sniff around, claim it as hers. She’s not a free loader though! She’ll pay you with purrs and snuggles. |  |
