Rainy Spring

Sex: Female

Energy Level: Medium

Ah, finally my turn? Let me just snuggle on in there, no don’t get up, I’ll do this right from the crook of your arm. Hopefully, I’m not purring too loud? Excellent, where were we?

My name is Rainy Spring and I will have it known that I was named before the weather took such a precipitous turn to the precipitation. Those flooded basements aren’t on me. But I will say, having a soft and sweet young lady such as myself around to cuddle could really make those gray afternoons into something to treasure. 

I came into care with a whole litter of kittens and our mother Bambi after we were all taken in by Cheery Cat Rescue. My sister Dew and I were a little bit older and so are the first of the Spring kittens to make it into Cheery Palace, the vanguard to a small army which you might know if you ‘follow’ the rescue; I don’t know what that means, but I’ve heard guests talk about it. (Editor’s Note: the rescue Instagram is a great place to follow along with the story of cats who haven’t reached the Palace yet or check out our Patreon if you want a peek behind the scenes)

Anyway, where were we? I do enjoy a spot of play, and will certainly need to have another young cat in the home to chase and wrestle but I do know how to be respectful around older cats so a senior in the home won’t have to worry about dreading their retirement. I don’t mind human children, as long as they are respectful. I have never met a dog so a slow and careful introduction there would be very appreciated. 

I am currently enjoying my time in Cheery Palace, but I have to be honest, I would rather be home with you, bouncing off the walls or chilling on the couch. Please come for a visit and see if perhaps I’m the cat you’ve been looking for.

The past is a memory and the future is uncertain; who we choose to be today is who we are.                  …So, like, we should play, and cuddle, and I like dinner at around 8pm if that’s alright.

– Oracle Baudelaire

My name is Oracle and I see a future with us together. I came to Cheery Cat Rescue as an owner surrender; her cat had kittens and I was the one she couldn’t find a place for. CCR made sure I had a place and I made sure they knew how much love I had to give. I’ve seen a lot of change in my young life and I knew a good thing when I saw it.

I came into care with the attitude of someone who knows that it is the actions we take today that write our future. I chose to focus on being an absolute tornado of love and cuddles; it just seemed more fun that way. I am five months old at the time of writing, and I have never met a person I couldn’t love or a toy I wouldn’t play with.

I had a roommate across the hall when my first CCR foster took me in and it didn’t take long before they gave into my demands and let me meet him. I love other cats and definitely need one in the home. I’m a pretty polite little guy so I would probably do okay with a senior but at playtime I’m going to need someone who can match my energy. I have never met a dog in my recollection, but with a slow and careful introduction I think things could work out pretty well on that front. Kids? Kids are just small people and I LOOOOOVE people.

I am currently eating Ziwi Peak dryfood and Orijen wet, though I foresee that might change. Luckily I am not picky and have no dietary restrictions. If you want to change me over to something else when I get home, all I ask is that you do it slowly, with a dose of probiotic or two to facilitate the transition.

I know I write like something of a know-it-all, but the thing I am most certain of is that you’re out there somewhere, looking for me. I’ll be waiting in Cheery Palace for you, come find me and let’s make a future beyond our wildest dreams

Age: 10 months

DoB: 07/15/2025

Sex: Female

Energy Level: Medium/Low

My name is Flower and I am a ‘Spring’ girl as you can see, so I know a thing about a busy house. When Cheery Cat Rescue found us, my newborn kittens and I were among the more than 40 cats in the house. If you don’t mind my saying, that’s simply too many cats, no matter the space.

My six kittens and I were taken into foster care and for the first time in my short life I knew a little bit of peace. I think I was a good mom, if you’ll pardon me for saying so, at only 8 months old I tried my best at least. Now that they are weaned and big enough to explore the world without me I am comforted to know that they have CCR to take care of them and to make sure they will find homes full of love. For my part, I suppose I have to learn what it takes to love myself.

I’ve never been a particularly outspoken cat; when there were 40 of us, there wasn’t much time for individual attention, but Cheery has been teaching me to trust that a place of love is a place that celebrates your voice. I am quick with a purr and love to be pet and treasured. When I feel really safe, I have a squeekly little meow that I will save just for you.

I have experience with other cats, but I can be hesitant to interact unless I feel comfortable and safe. I could learn and grow into life with another young cat, but I would also do well with a quiet senior, or even as a solo cat; a secure place to grow and the love to support it is what I have been searching for my whole life. I have never met a dog, but a gentle friend I can imagine doing very well with, if the introduction is careful and slow. Kind children I think I would love, I have been a mother and I don’t know if you ever truly forget.

I have been doing well on Ziwi Peak dry food and Fancy Feast wet. I can be a little particular and have struggled to change to other wet foods while in the rescue’s care. You are welcome to try to change things, I have no medical dietary restrictions, but I promise nothing.

The ten short months of my life have been full of things done on behalf of others in situations I did not choose, adapting always to benefit others. It is my hope that the rest of them will be spent with people willing to make space for me; I am ready to be someone’s priority and to bloom, finally, for myself.

So I guess they meant what they said when the Cheery Cat Rescue folks told us that they would bring us in and help us find our people. There’s been a lot of adoptions going around, and apparently I need a profile to help me find my family. Here goes nothing.

My name is Clover and a good name it is, one of the first plants to green up in the spring, I love to get a head start on things. Okay, one thing: Play. I LOOOOOVE to play. I like to play more than I like to eat, or nap, or cuddle, and I’m pretty fond of those things as well. I guess you could say I’m a ‘Player’ first and foremost[1]. If you’ve visited us at Cheery, I am usually the first Spring you will see. My sisters are very nice cats, but they just don’t have my drive.

I was definitely the first of the Spring cats to warm up to Palace life, and I mean to cast no shade on my sisters; we came from a house with more than 40 cats, and with vet visits, vaccinations, and spending some time with our fosters, even the friendliest cats in the city can feel a little overwhelmed. Once I realized that there were plenty of folks coming though with pets and play on their minds I felt much more comfortable, but it’s still not ‘home’, you know?

I’m not going to brag, but I’m pretty good with other cats; obviously, I appreciate a proper introduction, but the rescue folks can help advise you on that front. I definitely need a home with another young cat to play with, my energy would probably be a bit much for an old-timer to deal with solo. I’m not sure about dogs, but I haven’t had the opportunity to make an introduction, with care I’m sure I could rise to the occasion. Being a Palace Cat, I’ve had plenty of opportunity to get to know kids, the respectful and playful ones I absolutely adore.

Meals currently consist of Ziwi Peak dry food and Orjien wet and I am loving it! I don’t have any allergies or dietary restrictions, so I am open to changing it up as long as we go slow and include a probiotic to help keep my tummy happy.

…Listen, I know I can come off as a bit of a ‘cool cat’, but at the end of the day, I want to be someone’s cuddly boy. If that sounds like something you would enjoy then, maybe consider putting in an application and coming in for a visit?

Hi! I’m April. Like the month, except I don’t vacillate between warm and cool. I’m proudly a friendly, playful girl regardless of the season.

I came to CCR from a house with a lot of cats. Like SO many. I’m not really a math girlie, but there was at least 10 of us there (Editor’s note, it was more than 40. We were very busy). Anywho, I was so excited when CCR came and scooped us up! We got to go to the vet and they were SO nice there; turns out there’s more to life than being a mum

It’s taken me a little bit longer than average to warm up to life in the Palace, I was a little nervous to suddenly be around so many cats again after the peaceful time with my foster. I am coming around to the benefits of having friends to play with and plenty of people to cuddle with, but I confess I am looking forward to a home with a little more stability and a little less traffic.  A cozy perch to watch the snow fall and loving people to watch it with.

As I said, I came from a house with a lot of cats so I definitely know to mind my P’s and Q’s, but I would appreciate your help in making it a slow and careful introduction; too much too fast and I get flashbacks of my early days and can be a little hissy. That said, I’m not adverse to a little chaos. I like to watch before I get involved, but definitely want to be included. When I get going I can push boundaries a little bit so I absolutely need a partner in crime, and would probably be a bit too much for a senior cat to handle solo. I wasn’t raised with dogs, but I’m sure I could handle almost anything with you by my side. Even kids, if it comes to it, ideally respectful and cat-savvy, but I’m a patient young lady so we can probably teach them together if it comes to in.

Currently, I am eating Ziwi Peak Dry and Orjien wet and have been doing quite well on the diet. I’m open to changing it up if we go slow and it would definitely be nice to have a probiotic in the mix. Otherwise, I have no dietary issues or restrictions.

If you come to visit me at Cheery, you’ll probably find me in the relative peace of the Garden Room. If you’re ready for a springtime girl, I’m ready to be your forever.

So I guess there’s some “drama” amongst some of the other Palace Cats, something about who was first for this or that. Frankly, I simply don’t have the time for such silliness; I’m looking for forever, that’s all the drama I need.

My name is Meadow, I am a sweet girl with a big heart and more love than I know what to do with. Whatever you’ve got going on, I want to be involved in. If you’ve got business, then I’ve got business. If it’s your bedtime then it’s my bedtime, I’m going to be right there with you. I’ve been called a Cat’s Cat, and that’s not untrue, but I will absolutely let you know when I need some lap time.

I came from a house with a LOT of other cats. The person looking after us took my Grandmother in a few years ago, and I guess that somehow led to a sizable crowd over time. The details escape me, something, something, “40+ cats”; honestly, it’s just nice to get a little bit of peace and quiet. It’s been a learning curve to figure out how to exist in a place where I’m not competing with 39 family members for affection, but I promise when it’s just us I will show you how I shine.

I do well with other cats, but a patient and careful introduction would be nice to make sure that we are all feeling comfortable. I definitely need to have another young cat in the house; an oldtimer probably couldn’t keep up if they had to do it solo. I have less experience with dogs, but I like to keep my options open so I won’t rule it out as long as you’re there to help me through it. Kids? I can handle kids, but I appreciate them best when they are well trained.

I have been enjoying a diet of Ziwi Peak dry and Orjien wet, and while I am not restricted to those, I have no dietary restrictions to speak of, a slow transition and a run of probiotic would be very helpful in making sure no tummies are upset.

I’ve been through a lot in my rather short time, and I’m hoping if I find my people we can go through the rest together.

Ladybug and Cricket Ranch (can be adopted together or separately)

Age: 5 months

DoB: 11/12/2025

Sex: Female

Energy Level: High

We heard Max talking some pretty big game, something about being ‘the very first adoption profile’; the joke is on him, we can’t read and neither can he, so we’re not sure what the big deal is. Anyway, I guess we can ‘settle’ for being the face of the rescue. We’re the first cats that Cheery Cat Rescue took in and we have the stickers to prove it.

That’s enough dunking on our elders, we’re Cricket and Ladybug!

Of the two of us, Cricket is always the first to jump in. She’s the bold one, the adventurer, bravest of the cuddlebugs. She enjoys a tumble and a snooze, a sunbeam and her sister; when Ladybug needs her, she always comes running. (Unless she’s, like, really comfy). When you come to visit us in the Palace, Cricket is the one you’re going to meet first unless you’re lucky.

Ladybug has a little more of a shell; she enjoys a wait-and-see approach in contrast to Cricket’s can-do attitude. Underneath the wariness, is a warmth worth the work to unlock, though for the moment she’s less thrilled about being snuggled and carried than her sister (Not hard, Cricket LOVES a cuddle).

We landed in the care of CCR as a pair of owner surrenders; we were Ranch cats originally! Being SO for real with you, inside-cat life is where it is at, but ranch life taught us that it takes all sorts to make a family. We are very good with other cats, though we might be a bit much for a grumpy senior; either way, we’ll count on you to help us make a polite and slow introduction. It’s been a while since we’ve crossed paths with a dog, but again, a careful and patient introduction could see us to be their very best buds. We don’t have much experience with children, but respectful kids and watchful parents would be a match made in heaven. We’re pretty flexible about the whole thing to be honest.

At Cheery, we are enjoying Ziwi Peak dryfood  and Orjien Duck and Chicken wet. We have no dietary restrictions so with time and care, we could absolutely change it up as long as we keep a mix of good quality wet as long as we take it slow and include a helpful probiotic to keep our tummies happy.

They say you can tell the health of a garden by the variety of insects who choose to live there, well, we’re just a couple of bugs looking for a garden. Would you take us home and… whatever you do with bugs who are soft and love you, we don’t actually know. Again, we can’t read.

Age: ~12 months

DoB: Your guess is as good as ours. 

Sex: Male

Energy Level: Medium

‘With a cool front coming in, and a rumble that shakes the windows, Stormy arrives; a cuddler rain or shine.’- Is that too much? I’ve been working on it all day, I want to make a good impression, but you would tell me if it was too much, right? Promise?

Umm, my name is Stormy. Honestly, I’ve got a big name but I’m just a little guy. I like cuddling under the blankets, and snuggling on the couch. I’m not loud like some other cats, so when I feel safe I like to be direct; a head bump and a rumbly purr to make sure you haven’t forgotten about me. I’m looking for my person, and I’m ready for the long haul, no matter the forecast. 

Unlike seasons in Edmonton, at Cheery Cat Rescue, Springs come hard and fast. That’s because a couple of years ago, our caretaker took in a pregnant cat and could not find help getting her or her kittens spayed and neutered. If you know cat math, you know that’s a recipe for a lot of cats. By the time CCR was founded and stepped in there were 40 of us in the house and our caretaker was.. doing her best. With CCR taking point and AARCS playing support, we were all scooped up, properly vetted, and now it’s time for us to find homes that are a little less crowded. 

You want to know if I’m good with cats? Listen, I’ve heard people talk about their ‘big families’ but we were a family of 40 living under one roof. Yeah, I’m pretty good with cats’ but a careful intro would be appreciated, I’m a soft little guy. Dogs freak me out a bit, but I’m willing to give it a try; with a nice slow introduction I think we could work something out. Kids? I could handle kids, as long as they understand that I’m not the biggest fan of being ‘handled’. Cuddled? Yes. Snuggled, Yes, please! Carried? In short bursts, I enjoy a stroll. 

I am currently enjoying a Ziwi Peak kibble and a Friskies wet, but I’ve been known to dabble in a Fancy Feast. I have no dietary restrictions beyond habitual, so I could see enjoying some exploration and expanding my palate as long as we go slow. A dash of probiotic wouldn’t hurt either. 

I have no medical issues, but I do prefer a clay litter to a pine one. I was a bit confused by the pellets when I first arrived in care and it led to some accidents, but it’s been smooth sailing since we switched over. 

If you’ve got space in your home and heart for a little grey cloud, you’re welcome to come visit me at Cheery Palace. Maybe between us we can be the first ray of Spring sunshine.

My name is Max, and I have the honor of being the star of the very first Cheery Rescue Profile. I’m watching carefully to make sure the volunteer ghost-writer gets it all down properly; I like my staff properly trained. 

Some background about me, my sister Ruby and I came into Cherry Cat Rescue’s care when a good samaritan took in our pregnant mother and soon found themselves with more cats than they could handle. But those early weeks in a busy home is good news for you, dear reader. I’m as bombproof as they come; I’m good with cats, I’m great with kids, and while I haven’t met a dog yet, I would gladly take the opportunity.

I come with two modes, ‘Play’ and ‘Cuddle’ and I am very dedicated to my craft. I don’t need to be the center of attention at all times, I am happy to play with a toy or sneak in a wrestling match, but I do deserve to be, and I will happily shadow you about the house to let you know about the show you’re missing. 

You see, I don’t waste a lot of time ‘considering’, Ruby has always been the ‘brains of the outfit’, but by gum, I am a DO-er and I want to be involved in whatever you have going on. I am also an excellent sounding board and am always down for a good chat. Or a bad chat. Spill the tea, Queen, I’m listening. 

Something important to keep in mind is that I will need another young cat wherever I end up. My high energy antics would definitely be a bit too much for an older cat to tackle solo; if you’ve a younger cat at home already I would be thrilled to meet them, or if you need to look at bringing in two of us, my sister Ruby would be an excellent choice. Our playfights are legendarily entertaining. 

I am currently enjoying a diet of Ziwi Peak dryfood and Orjien chicken and duck wet. I have no dietary restrictions so I am open to changing it up, but a slow changeover and some supportive probiotics would really help to smooth the transition. 

SO that’s me, but I would love to hear more about you.  Click the link and fill out an application and maybe together we can make our perfect match.

My name is Ruby, and unlike my brother I’m not in a rush; he might be the first profile up, but mine will be the best. Patience and quality go paw in paw. 

My brother Max and I came into Cheery Cat Rescue’s care after the kind woman who took our mother in discovered that she had been hoodwinked by more cats than she bargained for. Our first few weeks were busy ones, but luckily I’m a busy girl. I do well with other cats, I quite enjoy the attention of children, and I could even learn to love a dog or two if you’re interested in mixing it up. 

I am a supervisor by nature, a touch more ‘cerebral’ perhaps than my ever-moving brother. I will do my best to make sure that your dishes are done to my satisfaction, that you’re not left alone folding laundry or sweeping up. You see, your household chores will be OUR household chores. I will be sure to let you know if I see you slipping on your part of things. 

That’s not to say I can’t relax. I enjoy a good cuddle, with purrs that start as soon as you pick me up. A real snuggle-bug you might say. But I’m not only a lap cat, I need plenty of play to keep me going; I love to chase and pounce, adore a dangling toy, and am certainly not above a good wrestle. Get you a girl who can do both, as they say. 

Listen, I can be a handful and frankly, I don’t think anyone is ready for a solo Ruby experience. Wherever I end up, having another young cat in the home is a MUST. A senior cat simply won’t be able to keep up with me once I get moving. If you’ve a younger cat already, we could be a match made in heaven, but if you don’t, the fine folks at Cheery can certainly help you find a suitable match. I suppose I might recommend my brother Max; I’ve been training him all his life to be the perfect playmate and it would be a shame to let that work go to waste. 

Currently, I am eating Ziwi Peak dryfood and Orjien chicken and duck wet. No dietary restrictions or issues to speak of, so I am happy to consider other food options if you present them, but best to do it slowly. Patience, quality, and Probiotics can make all of the difference. 

You’ve made it to the end so I suppose you pass my first test. Put in an application and let’s see if we can make it a Cheery forever.

Hi I’m Latte, brother of Matcha. I’m the stripey boy.

My rescue story starts when a cleaner found us in an empty apartment after our first family had moved out. We’re not sure how they managed to forget to pack us, but we have practiced our voices to make sure that we are never forgotten again. 

I am the braver one, a stripey and chatty boy who is always down for a cuddle and entirely willing to let you know when the cuddling has been insufficient. 

I took a little bit to warm up to the cats and people in Cheery Palace, but the rescue volunteers I am doing very well! I get along with other cats, even if I can be slow to join in the play at times; I wouldn’t make too much trouble for a senior cat if you’ve got one in the house. I have done well with children as long as they are respectful and patient with me. I don’t think I’ve met a dog yet so as long as the introduction is careful and slow there shouldn’t be an issue. 

My diet currently consists of  Ziwi Peak dryfood and Orjien chicken and duck wet, but I have no dietary restrictions and so I could adjust to almost anything. I don’t particularly care for the Orjien Chicken and Duck so I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to switching it up! But of course, a slow switch over is recommended to keep tummies happy. 

The folks at Cheery Rescue promised my forever family will find me soon. I would need to be adopted into a home with another young playful cat.

Oh. I didn’t realize we were doing this today! I’m not ready, I… No it’s okay, that’s the old Munchy, New Munchy has this down. I’ll do my best!

I came into Cheery Cat Rescue care as an owner surrender; the cats at my previous home were pretty rough with me and I wasn’t having a good time. Problems are a lot harder to fix than to prevent; I’ll tell you, slow and steady is definitely the way to go. 

My first days in Cheery Palace were pretty scary. Despite the care the staff there took, having so many new cats around was quite overwhelming, and it took some time before I realized that the cats here are all here looking for a better life; I felt a lot less alone knowing that I wasn’t the only ‘misfit’ in the cat world. I can’t lie, I am an awkward fellow; I wouldn’t do well with a particularly dominating or forceful cat. I’m learning how to be more confident, but I’m not ready to be tested quite that hard. A young cat looking for a playmate would be a good fit, or a dual adoption with one of my friends in Cheery Palace would be incredible! I would be very anxious as a solo act so a home with another young cat is a must.

I have also really enjoyed the people who come to see us. I was hesitant at first, but there was a delightful young lady who held me tight and really taught me the joys of a great cuddle. I can be a bit slow to ask for one, I don’t want to be too much trouble, but if you scoop me up and hold me close I will share my biggest purrs with you. A patient home where my boundaries can be respected and expanded would be a dream come true. 

In the palace at the moment, we are eating Ziwi Peak dryfood  and Orjien Duck and Chicken wet. I know some of the other cats have complained, but I’ve got to say it’s a diet that has been working well for me. That said, I have no dietary restrictions so I am open to exploring other options as long as we go slow and supplement with a supportive probiotic. 

I know I can seem like a bit of an odd duck, but I am hoping that for the right person, I am their… what’s a baby swan called? A cygnet? You see because there is a story that.. Not important, we can talk about that later.

It seems we’re doing interviews, ‘Adoption Profiles’ is it? Very well, I’ll answer your questions, just make sure you get my good side for the pictures. My name is Ming and I am an absolute treasure… Also, I don’t have a bad side; just a little joke between friends. 

I came into Cheery Rescue as a “sibling duo” after Moon and I were scooped up by a concerned citizen. Family we may be, but 6 months is a long time on the calendar of a street cat. Half-brother, maybe?  But I wouldn’t worry about it. Frankly, I’ve put the family drama behind me, this girl is looking to the future. 

It took me a minute to get my bearings in Cheery Palace; it was the first time in my life that I’ve had roommates, as you can imagine,  it was a little overwhelming. Luckily, the cats all seemed pretty friendly and there were a string of absolutely delightful people telling me how beautiful, how soft, and how elegant I am. They are absolutely correct, but while I am glad to have such astute fans, even a stunner like myself longs to relax and let her hair down, so to speak. 

You see, deep down, I’m a couch cat. Movie night? Girl, I am so there. Big game? Absolutely, get me a jersey and we’ll make their playoff run! Cat business is high-stakes and stressful; after a long day of chasing sunbeams, and emptying food dishes,  I want to unwind. You, me, sofa, cuddle time. 

It should be noted that despite my enjoyment of a snooze, I am an active young lady. I know to mind my P’s and Q’s around older cats in the home, but having a young playmate in the home is a must if you want to see me at my most vibrant; Cheery Rescue volunteers can suggest someone if you don’t have anyone else in mind. I am a gentle girl and would do alright with young children, as long as they are careful and respectful. Dogs I am a bit more on the fence about, but with a calm dog and a careful introduction… I could imagine that being alright. As long as they understand how to be gentle, perhaps we might be good friends indeed. 

At the moment, I am eating Ziwi Peak dryfood  and Orjien Duck and Chicken wet. I enjoy them well enough, but I have no dietary restrictions and so I am willing to expand my culinary horizons as long as we take it slow and include a helpful probiotic to keep my tummy happy. 

I know that my many admirers will be sad to see me go, but I am ready for my domestic bliss. Would you be my forever?

Upon examination the vet wasn’t so sure we were siblings given that she was half my age, but cat colony family trees can get a little complicated, so who’s to say really? Regardless, Ming went on to the Cheery Cat Palace and Adoption Lounge, but I was a little more nervous and so stayed with my foster. 

It can take me a little while to get used to new situations and people. I know my big cheeks must make me look really tough, but I’m a softie, outside and in. When I first came into care I did my best to hide, but once I learned that my foster was there to help I made sure to let him know how much I appreciate it. They call me ‘chatty’ but I think it’s important to show gratitude whenever possible and I will gladly follow you around the house to let you know how much I appreciate you. 

I love to hang out, if you’re lounging then I’m lounging. But, like, a little bit away. I would hate to impose… you know how it is. I want to be sure to respect your space, even if the pets are nice, and your lap looks so inviting… maybe we could work on that. 

I’m a big lad, but you should see how fast I go when I really get to zooming! I can still play with the best of them and I would love to show off my moves! A house with another young cat would be an excellent choice so we can play together, but with a person as committed to playtime as I am, I could be convinced to settle down solo. I haven’t had a ton of experience with children but I have heard that they can be taught to be polite and gentle so I could see that being alright. Dogs I’m really not sure about, but if we take it slow I could see myself adapting well to a well behaved pooch or two. 

Currently, I am eating Ziwi Peak dryfood and Fancy Feast wet, but I have no known tummy troubles and so I could see changing that in the future. A nice slow change and some probiotic to keep things steady would be the ideal situation for me, I think. 

I guess that’s everything, at least that’s everything I can think of immediately. I’ll ponder it a while longer and if you apply, I will make sure to update you when we meet!
