Adoptions
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!
Dolly & Johnny *** Adopted ***
Dolly and Johnny came to us as bottle babies, having been rejected by their mama for some unknown reason. Thankfully we had access to the right resources to ensure their survival, and they have flourished right from the start. It wasn't a great beginning but that just makes us all the more resolved that they will have a fabulous life together forevermore. It also means that they are super-socialized to their human caregivers, making them a wonderful choice for someone looking for loving and friendly kitties as companion-mates.
The kittens were born on August 8th, so they are now six months in age, otherwise known as tweens or "twittens". Their spay/neuter surgeries were delayed by access to our vet clinic, which together with the Christmas break are the main reasons why we are looking to rehome them at an older age than usual. It continues to be a challenge to get even routine appointments at our vet clinics, let alone surgery time. They have also been vaccinated, tested (negative) for disease and treated for parasites.
The best part is that Dolly and Johnny have had no health issues at all during their time in foster. They are boisterous, outgoing kittens, busting out in exuberant energy. They have taken over their foster home, alternating between rampaging around, getting into everything, and colonizing work surfaces, shoulders, and laps for cuddles and naps. They are a team!
We have promised their foster parents that they will go to a home together, as it is the only way they can see them moving on. Proper thing! They have been around other cats and even a dog in their little lives, in case these are considerations.
We ask for a donation of $250 for each of our rescued cats, or $500 in total, for which you would receive a charitable tax receipt. To adopt these lovies, please complete our online application form 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
