Stonehaven	Stonehaven DSH - DOB April 28 2024 Stonehaven is a vivacious and fearless kitten. He has high levels of energy and is a leader among his littermates when it comes to playing. Stonehaven delights in playing hide and seek as well as tag in his pop-up cat cube with his brother, Springridge. He finds fingers and toes especially entertaining and is learning that fingers and toes are not for biting. Stonehaven is a very social kitten and will often seek out older cats in his foster’s home to befriend. Once Stonehaven has released all of his energy, he will seek a cozy spot to rest, such as on your chest if you’re laying down or on your lap if you’re sitting in a chair. He can be very affectionate when the mood strikes. Stonehaven is tidy with his food but does occasionally enjoy putting his paws in his water bowl and playing with the water. He is generally tidy with his litter and is becoming more comfortable with his nails being trimmed. Stonehaven must be adopted into a home with another feline friend or two and will likely do well with a cat-friendly dog. He would thrive in a high-energy home that would keep him busy and give him lots of attention.

He looks forward to finding his forever home and meeting his new family to join him in endless entertainment!

Lilac	Lilac DSH - DOB April 7 2024 Lilac is a sweet, cautious and easy-going kitten. Originally, she was more of an observer of the action going on around her with other foster kittens in the home but has since become more confident and has been joining in on the action. Playing with crinkle balls is her favourite. She can sometimes become possessive of them and will let the other foster kittens know with a low, rumbling growl. Lilac is very affectionate and makes a great kitten to cuddle. She seeks out laps and the backs of chairs or couches to relax on. She spent a lot of time playing with young children (both in a kindergarten classroom and in her foster family’s home) and is tolerant of being handled by them if they are calm and gentle. She loves to be wrapped up in a soft blanket and held like a baby as she snoozes. Lilac is tidy with her food and litter and is becoming comfortable with her nails being trimmed. She must be adopted into a home with another feline friend and has the potential to do well in a home with a quieter, cat-friendly dog.
Springridge	Springridge DSH - DOB April 28 2024 Springridge is a lively and affectionate kitten. She adores playing with other foster kittens and being included in all of the action whether it be wrestling or playing a fast-paced game of tag. She finds the play tunnel especially entertaining! Springridge delights in playing with toes and fingers and is still learning that toes and fingers are not for biting. After playtime, she seeks out a fleece blanket to rub her nose and knead her paws into before falling asleep. If you are sitting nearby, she will gladly cuddle up in your arms or lap and let you know she is content with a warm, soft purr. Springridge is tidy with her food and litter and is becoming more comfortable with her nails being trimmed.

He loves to chase balls and play hide and seek in the cat tunnel. He is most often running around with Meringue and is often found cuddled up with her during kitten nap time. Fondant loves attention and pets from his foster family, but he is not a lap cat, preferring to hang out beside his person. Toes or feet under a blanket are irresistible as are noses - Fondant is learning they aren’t for eating! He can be a bit of an escape artist and has snuck out of the kitten room a few times. He has interacted with both older cats and a small dog with no issues. Fondant will flourish in a home with lots of action he can join in with - be it human or other pets.
Hermia	Hermia DSH - DOB May 1 2024 Hermia is a smart and independent kitten. She is the leader of her sibling group and although she is small, she is definitely mighty. Hermia can be bossy and does not hesitate to put her brother's in their place with a quick swat when they are annoying her. After a battle of wills with the adult cats in her foster home, Hermia has realized her place in the cat hierarchy, but she will try to become alpha with any cat she meets. Hermia must have a feline companion in her new family...a male kitten or young cat with a similar energy level will keep her feeling in charge. Hermia is very high energy and playful. She likes perching on the top of the cat tree or on a windowsill, for the dual purpose of getting time away from her siblings, but also to launch sneak attacks on them. Hermia has enjoyed playing with gentle children and especially likes chilling with the young adults in her foster home, playing video games and watching movies.
Lysander	Lysander DSH - DOB May 1 2024 Lysander is a quieter kitten and an absolute snuggler. He adores being petted and will always choose a cuddle over play time. The moment one of his people is stationary, he is attempting to get into their lap or cuddle beside them. He shows his affection by giving lots of kitten kisses. Lysander is playful and energetic when kitten games are happening and he loves to chase crinkle balls; he will carry one in his mouth to the end of the hallway to set it up to bat down the long straightaway. He is an easygoing kitten who follows the lead of his siblings. He is respectful of the adult cats in his foster home, eager to have their attention, but also backing off when they indicate they need space. He has enjoyed playing with gentle children. Lysander must have a feline companion and mentor in his new family; either a same aged kitten or a young adult cat who will play with him.
Babble	Babble DSH - DOB June 11 2023 Babble came to NHKR after having kittens as a stray. She is a wonderful, quiet girl. SHe plays with her toys and is happy to explore independently, but she also loves to be held like a baby and be petted.

She is a talker and chats when she wants attention or simply wants people to know she is there. Babble is a very easygoing young cat and would make a wonderful companion for either a cat-friendly dog or other adult cats in a quieter family.
Quince	Quince DSH - DOB 2023 Quince is a lovely young girl who loves to explore the house and especially loves to watch birds and other wildlife outside the window. She came to NHKR as a pregnant stray and was an amazing mom to her seven kittens. She is a small girl, so this was quite a feat!

Tula	Tula DSH - DOB June 17 2023 Tula is a passive, gentle, intelligent girl. Her kittens have been adopted and now it's her turn. Tula came from outside and she never wants to go back out there. She is becoming comfortable with household sounds and meeting new people as she explores what a home is like. It took a couple of weeks under the bed before Tula felt safe to start exploring and learning. Since then she has learned to jump on the couch for cheek scratches, that being picked up is just fine and there was no problem trimming her nails. Now she will chirp and chatter when she is happy, she sprawls on the couch and has started snuggling up against her people to sleep. Tula would appreciate a family of adults with / without older children who would be patient as she continues to learn. She will probably hide under the bed again until she feels safe with her new family. She has met a variety of other cats and navigates around them. She loves to play by herself so she would enjoy being an only cat or with older cats not wanting to play with her.
Magnolia	Magnolia DSH - DOB April 7 2024 Magnolia is a playful, friendly and outgoing kitten. She is always the one to initiate playtime with her litter mates, and enjoys climbing, running through tunnels and playing with balls and springs. Magnolia is a very active kitten. Consequently, she would do best in a busy home with enough people available to give her plenty of attention. She is very people-oriented, and often seeks a human lap to snuggle in. Magnolia is very vocal, and uses her voice often with people, as well as with her feline and canine companions. She is also a confident leader and has a dominant personality that would match perfectly in a home with a male feline friend or with feline-friendly dogs. Magnolia loves a cat climber, and frequently uses the scratching post in her foster home. She is tidy with her litter, and is a meticulous self-groomer! Magnolia's energy, antics and affection will bring so much love to her new family.
Muppet	Muppet DLH - DOB May 8 2019 Muppet is a quiet and quirky young cat. Like his sister, Lady Jane, he was very timid and reluctant to trust people when he first arrived at NHKR but has since made progress. Muppet can still be cautious and skittish, especially around new people and new situations. He benefits from a slow, gentle and patient approach. He is an independent cat who keeps to himself and enjoys a good quiet spot to relax during the day (e.g., under a bed, in the cat house). Muppet loves to have his long, soft hair brushed. He will let you know by jumping up to where you are and reaching out his paw to tap you and signal that he is awaiting your attention. When he’s totally relaxed, he delights in lying on his back and having his belly rubbed. His warm, loud purr will melt your heart. He may even start licking your hand to show his approval. Like his sister, Muppet is a low energy and low maintenance cat. He enjoys lying in your lap even if Lady Jane is already there. He will either plunk himself on top of her or wedge himself where there is no room. Muppet is tidy with his food and litter. He is still learning to become comfortable with nail trimmings and requires an experienced person to accomplish the task. He is making progress with being held by his trusted people for longer periods of time. Muppet is bonded with Lady Jane and they must be adopted together. They would thrive in a quiet home with adults where they can continue to support each other and grow in confidence together.
Lady Jane	Lady Jane DSH - DOB May 5 2019 Lady Jane is a sweet and independent young cat. When she first came to NHKR, she was very shy and hesitant to trust people. She has since made progress and has shown growth in her confidence when around familiar people. Lady Jane is a lower energy cat and is quite content spending her days snoozing alongside her brother, Muppet. They can often be found together in the cat house snuggling and grooming each other. At night, she will retreat to her high perch and snuggle up with her favourite blanket which she will bring with her to her new home. During the night, when the house is quiet, Muppet and her like to play with and chase each other throughout the house. Once she warms up, Lady Jane seeks affection, loves to be pet and brushed with long strokes, and will let you know she is content with a warm, loud purr while rubbing up against you. When she wants to get your attention, she will let out a soft, faint meow. She loves to sit on your lap or share a bed with you at night, if you allow. Lady Jane is tidy with her food and litter. She is not food-driven although she does enjoy the occasional treat. Lady Jane is comfortable being held. She enjoys scratching her paws against a vertical cat post and requires an experienced person to trim her nails. Lady Jane would do best in a quieter home with adults. It will take her some time to become comfortable with new people as she often finds a quiet place to retreat while guests are visiting. Lady Jane is closely bonded with her brother, Muppet, and they must be adopted together. She gives him confidence and companionship. They can’t wait to find their forever home together!
River	River DMH - DOB June 2 2022 River is an absolute delight. He loves to give two-paw hugs and snuggle up under the chin of any of his people. Lap snuggles are also high on his list of things to do in a day. He has become confident and more independent as he has learned to trust people and understand that he doesn't have to have his eyes on people all the time to know that they won't leave him. He enjoys watching squirrels and birds from the window, as well as chasing strings on a wand or playing with one of his toys. He likes to nap on his cat tower, or in his cat bed on one of his foster family members desks, or on a chair or couch nearby. He is a great work from home or study companion! River must be an only cat in his new family. He is adjusting well to living inside again and is becoming accustomed to the daily noises of life in his foster home. He is generally happy to meet new people and often accepts them quickly. River usually loves to be picked up for snuggles or pats and will signal when he's had enough by wiggling or jumping down. He may swat (no claws), or bite if he is ignored. While this doesn't hurt (since he has no teeth), if you ignore his 'bites' it may ultimately escalate to him using his claws. He talks to his people to tell them when he wants food, snuggles or playtime. River has no teeth and is missing one third of his tongue, so he has particular needs when it comes to eating. It is suspected that he has food allergies so he eats a limited ingredient dry kibble purchased at a pet food store and wet food for cats with food sensitivities from the vet. This dry food's shape and size also enables him to consume his food easier. He needs a small high sided round bowl to help him scoop his dry food up into his mouth, and once he's done his best, the remaining crunchies are mixed with about a tablespoon of wet food mounded in the bowl. He has the most success at eating the last few pieces of dry food when it is arranged in small piles of 2-4 crunchies (mixed with wet food ) for him in his bowl.
