Adopt A Rescued Cat
All of our rescued cats have been spayed or neutered, treated for parasites such as fleas and worms, and tested for feline diseases like FIV and Feline Leukaemia. Any health issues or injuries at the time of rescue or during fostering are also addressed to ensure our rescues are happy, healthy and ready for adoption. All of our adoptees have been microchipped
Today seems like the best day to meet your new best furry friend!
Frankie *** Pending ***
We're looking for a quiet home for this young, friendly male cat. Frankie is a gorgeous marble tabby, with the most amazingly lush fur coat. He's positively glowing with good health.
Frankie had been brought in the vet to be euthanized for what we can only assume were reasons of convenience. We quickly snatched him up from death row and ran him through the paces at our clinic to see if there was anything wrong with his health. We did find some crystals in his urine and put him on a diet to eliminate them, but he's been right as rain since.
In his foster home, Frankie has flourished. He shares the home with a medium-size dog, and everything seems to be copacetic. It did take Frankie a few weeks to become comfortable, where he generally remained out of sight, but he soon emerged to take up a place on the sofa. He is an affable, affectionate, and outgoing fella, and his foster folks have become very fond of him.
We believe Frankie would do best in a home with adults and perhaps another dog or cat, where he would be given time to adjust to his new surroundings. Frankie should also remain on a high quality diet to maintain good urinary tract health. Frankie is guestimated to be about three years old. He is neutered and tested negative for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). He has also been treated for parasites as a matter of course.
We ask for a donation of $250 for each of our rescued cats, for which we would issue you a charitable tax receipt. If you're interested, please complete our adoption application in full:

Adoption Application : The first step
Adoption applications are submitted to the adoption committee of Halifax Cat Rescue Society for approval. After approval of your application, a meeting will be set up between you, the foster home and an HCRS representative according to everyone's convenience.
Although this application may seem lengthy, we ask that you take time to answer all the questions as best as possible. Thank you for considering adoption, we'll be in touch within a few days. Sometimes, we take a bit longer and this is because we are such a small group of volunteers. Please take this into consideration before you fill out the application. The process is not as fast as with the SPCA or other shelters who have an actual shelter and many more workers.
IT IS HCRS POLICY THAT OUR KITTENS BE ADOPTED EITHER AS PAIRS OR TO A FAMILY WITH A CAT(S) ALREADY IN THE HOME. THIS IS TO ENSURE FURTHER SOCIALIZATION OF NEWLY RESCUED KITTENS. THIS POLICY IS ENFORCED WITH ALL OF OUR KITTEN ADOPTIONS.
ADOPTION DONATIONS CAN BE MADE TO HCRSFUNDRAISING@OUTLOOK.COM ONCE YOUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED
