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!
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.

Cookie & K2 *** Adoption Pending ***
These bonded cats are so adorable together! If the photos make your heart squeeze, can you imagine how it feels in person?
Cookie (female, ginger/white) and K2 (male, ginger) were rescued from one of our designated feeding stations a little while before Christmas, where new arrivals had been reported by the resident caregiver. Cookie on her own was a timid and fearful cat, but when K2 arrived in the foster home, she became more friendly, confident, and outgoing, even sassy. She still tends to hang back, letting K2 hog the spotlight, but together, they are an absolute joy to have around. You would never know that K2 had suffered any traumas in his earlier life, as it didn’t take him long before he was jonesing for attention and chasing the action. Such a little charmer. The two cats are estimated to be between 1-2 years old at most, which means they retain many of the playful kitten qualities that we love to see and experience.
Cookie and K2 have been put through the paces at our vet clinic, meaning they’ve been spayed and neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, tested (negative) for feline diseases, and treated for parasites. They would continue to blossom in a mature, quiet home environment, and we are committed to keeping them together as a bonded pair. Please don’t ask to adopt just one.

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
