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!

Appalatia & Andes

Appalatia and Andes are a bonded pair of girls, and we are really hoping to find them a home where they can stay together.  Andes is a beautiful fawn-coloured tabby.  Appalatia is a torbie (tabby plus tortie), in that it looks like she might have some orange colouring in her tabby fur.  Both of these kitties love to cuddle and play with each other and the other cats in their foster home.  

 

These youngsters were rescued with a group of other cats at a feeding station located in a rural community outside of the city. Their initial wariness soon gave way to their more friendly demeanor, where they have blossomed into gentle and affectionate kitties.  And they are still quite young, guestimated to be between 1-2 years old, so they obsessed with their toys and delighting in cuddles with each

other, the other cats in the home, and their foster mom.

 

Appalatia and Andes have each been spayed, vaccinated, tested (negative) for disease, microchipped and treated for parasites.  "All fixed", so we like to say.  They have been busting out in good health from Day 1.

 

We are looking to find the girls a quiet home with mature adults, which will ease the transition and build on the confidence they have developed since their capture.  We ask for a minimum of $250 for each of our rescued cats, which is $500 for both, and you would receive their vet record and a charitable tax donation for the donated amount.

 

The girlies are being fostered at a home near Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

 

We would ask that interested parties complete our online adoption application in full, which can be found via the following link:  https://www.catsinhalifax.ca/adoptions

Cypress

Cypress is a quiet, gentle, and independent kitty who carefully watches the goings on in his surroundings before warming up to the situation. But he absolutely loves other cats and quickly warms up in their presence.  For that reason, we are committed to find him a quiet home with another cat or two around to boost his confidence.  His tabby markings extend down over one eye, giving him a rakish air, which only adds to his adorableness.

 

Cypress was rescued together with several other cats and kittens as part of a trap-neuter-return (TNR) effort at a rural property outside of the city in late spring of 2024. He continues to grow and mature in his foster home, where he is now thought to be 10 months old.  

 

Cypress has been fully vetted, meaning he has been neutered, vaccinated, tested (negative) for disease, microchipped, and treated for parasites. Busting out in good health besides.

 

If you are interested in offering Cypress a home, please complete our adoption application in full. We ask for a donation of $250, for which we offer a charitable tax receipt.  His vet record will also be provided.

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
