ZOE's Animal Rescue Society

Just a few kitties who have come into care (and we mean only a few) who will be looking for forever homes. Sadly we have many kitties being returned in less than one month. And that's on top of all our new intakes too so sadly we have closed intakes on all cats/kittens for at least a month as most of these cuties are in temp fosters only until they can be moved to one who can foster until adopted. If you have been thinking about fostering or adopting, now is the time!

Mikka Oakridge | Female | Miss Floofers (DLH) |
Rescue Story:

I was born in a trailer park with my sister. Unfortunately there were so many kitties who needed help by our owner, and Zoe's was full but they were able to take my sister and I to help us find forever homes. They helped the others get fixed too. Now my sister and I are ready for adoption!

Date of Birth: June 2024

Energy Level: High

Size (adult): Medium

Adoption Fee: $225 for me or $350 if you adopt me with a sibling.

Good with Dogs? Very specific dog(s) only
Only calm cat friendly dogs who won't chase me, with proper introductions of course.
Good with Cats? Must have a cat friend
Especially cat friendly cats and proper introductions. I do need a very playful youngish cat friend or to be adopted with a sibling.
Good with Kids? Yes
Older calm kids who would be very gentle with me and not so hyper. If any.

Critter Twitter:

I am one stunning girl who is a bit shy at first, but I do settle in. Once I have, I am very playful and quite affectionate. I am not demanding of attention but I do enjoy it. I actually love playing with water, and I will even play fetch. I am a chatty girl who you will fall madly in love with. And I mean, look at my stunning floofiness. How can you not?

About my Behaviour:

I must be adopted to a home with another young kitty to play with me and cuddle with. Or you can adopt me with my sister Veera. We are both fluffy brown tabbies but I have a darker nose then her so you will be able to tell the difference. At least when you see our faces.

A calmer home would be great as I am a bit shy and sensitive. I also hope you want a chatty catty as I love to chat with you.

How’s my Health?

I am spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped and dewormed. Wet food is very important to a kitty's health, so be sure to feed me at least one meal of wet food a day. It helps add much needed moisture for my kidneys and bladder health.

Critter Twitter:

I choose you! Yes, you. Now you just scroll down and click on the apply to adopt me so we can get the ball rolling. I promise you, we will be the best of friends. I am one very loving girl who loves to play and cuddle. I love playing in water and I will even play fetch. How cool is that! I don't really have much of a meow, I squeak for attention. It's pretty cute my foster mom says. I honestly can't wait to meet you!

About my Behaviour:

I must be adopted to a home with another young kitty to play with me and cuddle with. Or you can adopt me with my sister Mikka. We are both fluffy brown tabbies but I have a lighter nose then her so you will be able to tell the difference. At least when you see our faces.

I am spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped and dewormed. Wet food is very important to a kitty's health, so be sure to feed me at least one meal of wet food a day. It helps add much needed moisture for my kidneys and bladder health.

Unfortunately our helping hands program and SNR/TNR program is on hold. Our donations are extremely low and vet bills are high. At this time we can only offer rescue rates (discount) at a partner vet. You will have to pay off the vet bill in full at the time of your visit. Tails of Help and Albertans helping animals society may be able to help. Other rescues do have SNR/TNR programs too and can be contacted to find out pricing. A lot of vet clinics offer payment plan options to!

We are in desperate need of no pet fosters for cats! We have so many in temp fosters who need a foster placement. And quite a few cats being returned who need a no pet home. Fostering is a great way to find your purrfect kitty or just to help kitties in need. Yes it's hard when they are adopted, but boy, is it rewarding. Instead of rescuing one cat, you can rescue way more! It really is worth all the tears, we promise. Please share and spread the word.

Bolt Blue | Male | House panther (DSH) |
Rescue Story:

I was found in a trailer, I was the only one of my litter to survive. Sadly the others were killed by dogs. I was brought to Zoe's to keep me safe and help me find a forever home.

Date of Birth: May 11, 2024 (est)

Energy Level: High

Size (adult): Medium

Adoption Fee: $225 for me.

Good with Dogs? Unknown
Never met one, so not sure.
Good with Cats? Must have a cat friend
Especially cat friendly cats and proper introductions. I do need a very playful youngish cat friend.
Good with Kids? Yes
Especially if they are gentle with me.

Critter Twitter:

I am one very handsome house panther. I am quite brave, and very playful. I would love to be showered with attention and love. I give the best kisses if I do say so myself. I am one very cool kitten I know your family will fall in love with me. I can't wait to be your bff.

About my Behaviour:

I must be adopted to a home with another young cat or kitten buddy as I love to play with them and cuddle.

I can be very demanding of attention and if your petting another kitty I will come for some love to. Hopefully your kitty is ok with that, or perhaps you have another human or more in the house that want a buddy to.

I am still learning to not be so bitey, teething is no fun. Dental toys, silvervine sticks and redirection will help with that. Due to this, older kids or young cat savvy kids would be best.
Be sure to never, ever play with your hands! Wand toys only to help ensure I don't see hands as something that's ok to bite.

How’s my Health?

I am fully vetted. I must be fed at least, one meal of wet food a day to help give me extra hydration which is important for kitties.

Rescue Story:

Date of Birth: Approx July 2023

Energy Level: High - I'm still a young dog with lots of playful energy

Size (adult): Small (approx 20lbs)

Adoption Fee: $500 for ALL this cuteness!

Good with Dogs? Yes

Good with Cats? Maybe
I met the cats at the vet and was good but haven't lived with one.
Good with Kids? Yes
I love kids, they're fun to play with!

Critter Twitter:

Hi I'm Meggie! Obviously I'm adorable but I'm also a super fun and loveable pup who just wants to play. I'm quite shy with new people or in new situations so I will need an adopter who is willing to take things slow and keep working on building my confidence. I'm getting way more comfortable in my foster home and am excitedly greet my foster mama when she gets home and will cuddle up in her lap. I could play fetch for hours if you'd let me and I also love squeaky toys. I hope you're ready for some zoomies!

About my Behaviour:

I am crate trained and am working on my house training. I am cautious of new things and new people, especially men, but with patience and some yummy treats I will warm up and be willing to be pals. I'm a typical teen puppy who needs some work on my manners but I'm a fast learner. To ensure we get off on the right paw, my adopters will be required to sign up for a force-free training class. You can find a list of great trainers at www.albertaforcefreealliance.com.

How’s my Health?

I am spayed, up to date on my vaccinations, dewormed and microchipped.

Beautiful Merle is 6 years old and is looking for a no pet/kid foster home. This sweet girl has been having a hard time to settling into her temp foster home. She's in a sanctuary room as neither her or the resident cat would like each other. Merle prefers to be the only kid, fur or not. Her foster mom is amazing but, Merle would really love having the entire house to herself. She is on some medication to help reduce her anxiety which has helped but having more space would will really make her happy. Please share or if interested please fill out a foster application.

Often people think of rehoming because they believe that it would be a less stressful on the animal. But unfortunately it's actually far more stressful to rehome your pet, especially in terms of a rescue as it's multiple moves and new strangers/pets. Many are heartbroken and take quite awhile to trust new people. We understand that sometimes it's not possible to keep your pet, but if you can try, please do! For cat behavioral tips we highly recommend checking out Jackson galaxy and Pam johnson bennet. For dogs/pups check out alberta force free alliance for trainers near you. You can also email us for behavioral advice.

We get so many emails asking for help with vetting but unfortunately we are still predominantly only able to offer rescue rates only as we can't afford to subsidize. We can not stress the importance of getting pet insurance. One trip to emergency can quickly deplete your savings. If your are low income or live pay cheque to pay cheque, it is a must to have pet insurance. We would love to know if you have pet insurance and what your most expensive vet bill was.

Did you know a litter of puppies can cost up to $5000 to provide basic vetting to so that we can find them adopters ?

We have two new litters right now and they could use your help !

Are you a company looking to give back to your community ? Did you know you can become a sponsor of a litter and choose all of the puppies names , come for a visit and get advertising or tax receipt ? Do some team building and bring your crew for a puppy snuggle and follow their journey .
