Cheese Sandwich- Pending

DoB: 12/17/2025 

Sex: Male

Energy Level: High

Known Aliases: Cheddar, Big Cheese, Stinky-boy

My name is Cheese Sandwich and I look like this. I am exactly the cat you think I am.

I have been described as a ‘sweet boy’ and this is true. I have also been described as a chaotic little gremlin who loves to play and doesn’t understand boundaries. This is also true. There’s not a lot of cats that can keep up with me so it is imperative that you have another young cat at home who doesn’t mind a little (a LOT) of roughhousing. I will tell you up front that I would not be a good fit for a house with a senior cat just trying to live out their twilight years. If you are looking for a recommendation from the current roster of Cheery Palace cats, my brother Reuben has been putting up with my nonsense from the day I was born.

Speaking of family, I came into the care of Cheery Cat Rescue as an owner surrender with the other Sandwiches. Everyone except Reuben and I have found their picnics, but while I think it would be really swell if we found our forever home together, I am not adverse to starting this chapter without him.

I’m not a big snuggler, but I am happy to sit with you on the couch after a long day, especially if you’re up for some play. Relief through distraction is my motto, I promise our time together will never have a dull moment. I do very well with playful kids and honestly, I think having a young person to grow up with would be an incredible experience. But frankly, anyone willing to have an absolutely wonderful time are my kind of people.

Come visit me at Cheery!

Birdy Spring- Pending

DoB: 03/17/2026 

Sex: Male

Energy Level: Medium-High

My name is Birdy and if you’re looking for a cuddly boy with energy to spare then look no further!

As I stated above, I adore a cuddle; if you’re down for a snuggle sign me up! But when it’s time to move it’s time to move! I can get a bit squirmy if I haven’t had a chance to get the sillies out, but with some attentive play and a bit of mental enrichment I will settle right back down.

I am defintely the chattiest of the bunch, I love to tell you about my day and let you know when I need attention (EN: Almost always).  I absolutely need to have another young cat in the house to help me work out my energy, but with a friend to focus on I might be able keep myself from becoming a nightmare to any older cats in your house. I would do well with playful kids who also want a cuddlebuddy in the quieter moments. I’ve never lived with a dog, but I could probably figure it out if you help facilitate a nice slow introduction.

Come visit me in Cheery Palace and let me know if you’re ready for a little guy who’s the whole package.

I see Basil has already finished his profile so I guess it’s my turn. My name is Fern and I am certain that you’re going to be very frond of me. Just a little joke between you and I, you see ferns… Nevermind.

Basil’s the chatter of the litter, I waste less time on talk so I can spend more time exploring. If you’ve got an object, then I’m going to be climbing it. I want to survey my domain from the top of the world, but I will settle for the peak of your book shelf, cat tree, or even the back of the couch if there’s nothing else handy.

I’m not quite as all in on cuddles as my brother, but I certainly enjoy spending some quality time with my favorite people. I appreciate having things ship-shape and will make certain that you didn’t miss any spots in your last shower; families keep each other clean and tidy, you can use a brush if you want, but I’ll make sure you’re licked clean every time.

I’m doing well with the 2 year old human at my foster’s house, though I have less patience for being dragged around than my brother. I am also very polite to the senior cat there, but it’s definitely important that I have another young cat wherever I end up, and though I am loathe to say it, my brother makes a good partner for my shenanigans. There were a lot of cats in the house we were born in so I’m pretty used to a little chaos in the home.

I am currently eating a diet of Ziwi Peak dry and Orijen wet, but could certainly change it up as long as we go carefully.

I have arrived in Cheery Palace and there I will remain until my forever family comes to find me. Hopefully I’ll see you soon?

I need to make one thing clear right up front, I want to be the tallest one in the room and I have no problem standing on the shoulders of giants (or their heads) to get there. (Editor’s Note: He’s not kidding, he will climb you.)

 

I’m not going to change for anyone so you’d better be ready for a lot of cat in a small package. I know some cats come in here and beg for attention but that ain’t me; you’re going to have to meet me where I’m at (EN: Up, usually). If you’re not willing to put up some shelves and some fun cat trees then honestly don’t bother. 

 

I need another young and playful cat in the house, and honestly, I would gladly take 2 or 3. Don’t try me with a senior cat, there’s no way they’d be able to keep up. Human kids? Eh, as long as they’re not upset by the sudden appearance of a cat on their shoulder they should be okay. Dogs I don’t know, I’ve never met one, but in general I’m pretty open to playing with whoever is around. 

 

Come visit me in Cheery Palace and if you’re not intimidated by the fastest thing on four legs then maybe we can talk about making it a forever thing.

Ah yes, an adoption profile. Very well, we can do this now, please come in and make yourself at home. My name is Jasmine and like the flower and the princess I try to bring an elegant grace to my day-to-day. 

Feel free to pick me up and put me on your lap, I don’t hop up unless I am invited. Yes, a neck scratch is just the thing, continue and we shall do this interview. (Editor’s Note: if you scratch in just the right spot she turns into an absolute puddle and oozes onto the floor. Sections of this profile were reconstructed after the fact because you couldn’t hear over the purring.)

I had another family once, you know? Things were going well with them until I got pregnant, then they drove me out to the countryside and left me there. I was less than a year old at the time and scared out of my mind, as you can probably imagine. Eventually, a kind farmer was able to catch me and reached out to Cheery Cat Rescue on my behalf. I was nervous when I arrived at my CCR foster’s house, but they made me feel soooo welcomed; sometimes you have to be reminded that there are good people out there too. 

I have weaned my kittens now, all six of them, and I absolutely appreciate having the rescue’s help with the process. They’ll go off when they’re ready and find wonderful homes, but first it’s my turn. My current foster doesn’t have other cats so it’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to socialize with any cats I haven’t birthed; I’m a young lady and a sweet girl so it should go okay, but a slow introduction is definitely warranted. I love  human children, even loud herds of them; they’re fun, they’re sweet, they give good scratches. Once a Mom, always a Mom. Unfortunately, I must insist on no dogs; I’ve had enough dog interactions to last a lifetime, believe me. 

I am currently staying with foster while I am waiting for my spay. After that, who knows? Perhaps I’ll wind up in the Palace, perhaps someone will come visit me at my foster’s and fall in love. Whatever happens, I know the folks at CCR will make sure my ever after is a happy one.

The refreshing start to a lifetime of wonderful days, Dew Spring, at your service. I’ve got a rescue volunteer here to help me type this out; unfortunately, even a ‘Can-DEW’ attitude can’t make up for a lack of thumbs. I’ll have them insert an excerpt from my attempt here:

“Jhklufyg  ,j.,knlm b,nlm knlij bhglklllllllllllll”

Dew Spring, July 9, 2026

(Editor’s note, this continued for 3 pages)

What I was getting at, of course, is the need to embrace the inherent ephemerality of the moment as meaningful itself; the point, not the thing we run from. Indeed…. Oh, do pardon me a moment, I must DASH from room to room!!

(Editor’s note, She did. And then she wrestled… For a while. I folded some towels while I waited)

Sorry, did you need something? Interv… Ah. Yes. Sorry, I had to get my laps in! And then I saw someone running! And then I had to chase them! And then I had to bite the… Anyway. I love cats, and definitely need a young friend (or two) to play with. But I could certainly handle an older cat in the house as well, I try to be (mostly) respectful of my elders. I’m  also pretty good with kids and LOVE if they are fast enough to keep up.

…I have been known to attack feet. BUT ONLY SOMETIMES!

I’m currently in the Palace so you are very welcome to come visit. I’d also love it if you came to take me home, but no pressure. I’m doing really well. You may have heard about the Spring House? 40 cats in it? That was going to be my life before Cheery Rescue stepped in. I’m doing pretty well and the Palace is not a bad place to wait.

 

Pickle Calder

Listen, I have two speeds: Fast and Gone. Try to keep up.

My name is Pickle, I’m a quick ferment with a lot of tang and I make every sandwich better. Trust me on that; bring me home and every sandwich you make will be at least 30% more satisfying. That’s a Pickle guarantee.

I came into care with my half-sister Olive. We were owner surrenders; they just couldn’t keep the pace. Cheery Cat Rescue has managed to keep me on the track, but I’m a curious young lady and I’m ready for my final debut and to finally race on Home track.

If I’m being honest, I’m not a big cuddler. I love a pet and at the end of the day when it’s time to get cozy I could see settling in with you, but I’m a free spirit and when adventure calls I answer.

I play hard, I play fast, and I play with anyone. Young cats? Love them, let’s play. Kids? Hell yeah, same answer. Dogs? Okay, dogs I’m not sure about, but with a careful introduction and if they have a playful spirit I think we could make it work.

I’m pretty young yet, so I’m still learning how to temper my fire, you know? My manners aren’t always the best and I can forget that I’m sharp when I get excited. One day I’ll settle down, but it won’t be today so I’m probably not a good fit if you have a senior cat, or children too young to be cat savvy in the house.

I am currently fueled up on Ziwi Peak dryfood and Orijen wet, but I’m willing to change it up. Just remember that I am a high performance machine and any transition should be made in stages and with a probiotic to help things go down smooth.

I’ll be waiting in Cheery Palace, be prepared to be impressed.

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

 

Clover Spring

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?

Meadow Spring – Adopted

Age: 9 months

DoB: 07/24/2025

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.

Stormy

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. 

 

Ruby Wells – Adopted

Age: 6 months

Sex: Female

Energy Level: High

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. 

 

 

Matcha Kiss

Age: 9 months

Hi I’m Matcha, brother of Latte. I’m the swirly 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’m a little quieter, but has a soft and rumbly purr like you wouldn’t believe. Of the two of us, Latte is more likely to pop in to check up on you, and I’m the happiest to be carried about. 

I took a little bit to warm up to the cats and people in Cheery Palace, but the rescue volunteers say I’m are 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.

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?
