Chai Baby had been out on his own for over 4 months with some kind souls watching out for him.   He appears to be an indoor cat that has been abandoned and left to his own means.

With Fall around the corner and the cold winter months soon upon us, some kind neighbors have been feeding him the last few weeks in the hopes of giving him a little boost to survive the winter.  He is very thin and malnourished.  Sadly neighborhood cats have been fighting with him and it was noticed that he now has injuries.  A couple of very kind people managed to trap him and have brought him to our shelter.

Chai Baby will be in quarantine for the next 2 weeks and then we will be taking him to the vet for a check up.  In the meantime we will be attending to his wounds.  We will not be putting him up for adoption until we are confident that he is in good health.  Photos will be posted once he has settled in a bit and is more familiar with some new friendly faces.

Flora is the smallest of the 3 siblings.  She is now coming around and not as shy as she was in the beginning.  Flora enjoys attention and has a gentle purr to show her appreciation.

Fauna is the middle child - larger in size than her sister Flora, but just a little smaller than her brother Thorin.  Fauna has the most "firsts" by far .... first to feel comfortable with us, first to accept some attention and affection, first to purr, first to explore her new surroundings and first to say a few words.  She is a sweetie for sure.

Even though the "big" brother (largest of the three kittens), Thorin has a reserved and quiet side to him.  He is a little less comfortable with handling or any attention but on the other hand he has just started to show that if he is with his sisters he enjoys some petting and affection.  We are sure that given a little more time. Thorin will no doubt be as affectionate and cuddly as his sisters.

In collaborating with the Lundbreck Landfill staff we were advised of a young mother cat and her kittens currently on the property.  Hearing of their plight we offered to take them in if they were able to be trapped and contained.  The staff at the Landfill facility were successful and Mabel and her 3 kittens arrived at our shelter on Friday, Sept 5. 2024.

Mabel, we estimate to be approximately 8 months old, is still nursing but the landfill staff feel she may already be in her next heat.  Mother and kittens appear to be in good health for the most part.  Cautious and shy right now Mom does accept some very quiet gentle affection while the kittens, as expected are very wary but in our absence, playing and enjoying their new found safe home.

Mabel and her family will be in quarantine for a period to determine any health or behavioral issues.  Following this period, she and the kittens will be vet checked and the appropriate measures will be taken regarding vaccinations, deworming and eventual spay/neuter procedures for mom and kittens.

We are not sure of the gender of her family but will keep everyone updated as details come available.

Mabel is on the right - she is all black with a white spot on her chest and another white spot on her belly.  The kitten pictured is the runt of the litter.

UPDATE:  Mabel has been spayed now and is recuperating well.  She is still quite shy but is coming around and accepting some attention from the volunteers.  She is enjoying the "single" life and seems to be relaxing in her new surroundings away from her kittens.  Mabel is starting to "talk' and even play a little.  She is getting to know the other cats and will soon be out and about in the facility.

Callie is a beautiful little girl full of love and lots of affection She is only about 9 months old.  Unfortunately our vet clinic has advised us that she has some gum disease and this may necessitate removing a few if not all her teeth.  We are working to alleviate this with medication but time will tell.  Even if this is the outcome, we have had other cats in our care who have had to have their teeth removed and have had no problems.  We will keep you updated on Callie's progress.  With teeth or without she will be such a loving little girl  for any family .

Chewie was found in a pet carrier next to a dumpster behind an apartment building in Blairmore.  Someone moved out and just left her with some “other household odds and ends” they didn't want!!

She is very affectionate and appreciates a lot of love and attention.  With a very calm and quiet personality she didn’t have any problem fitting in with all the other cats and volunteers - at first.  After a short time we realized that although very loving, Chewie has a preference of being the sole center of attention and has little tolerance for the other cats should they come around.

One on one Chewie is a lovely girl.  She has a soothing purr always at the ready and craves a lap of her own with no distractions.  Even though her beautiful coat is long, we have found very few mats and when we do, Chewbacca is quite comfortable in having them removed.

This beautiful little girl would make someone a purr-fect couch companion.  From our time with Chewie we have found out that she has likely always been the only cat in the household and we feel she would do well in a home without other pets or small children.

Chewie has "cat-itude" and will swat you when she has had enough attention - without her claws coming into play!

Pippen and her brother Elrond were born at the CNP SPCA.  Abbi, their mother, graced us with a litter of 5 kittens just a few days after arriving at our facility (3 of the 5 have already been adopted).   Pippen seems to know her own mind and has more confidence than her brother Elrond.   They are quite independent of each other and would do well being adopted together or on their own.  Their personalities are quite opposite - Pippen enjoying a more active home while Elrond would prefer something a little quieter.  They are both playful and enjoy a fast game of chase with each other or with the other cats in the facility.  Once you get to know them, you can't help but love them - they are just little sweethearts each in their own way - always happy with a ready purr to share with you.

Pippen will often meet the volunteers at the door in the morning flopping on her side for a tummy rub and some affection.  She is very talkative and loves to follow you around as you work through your day - often giving you some "suggestions" on your progress.  If you talk back to Pippen, you find you have quite the conversation going before you know it.

Born at the CNP SPCA, along with 4 siblings, Elrond, unlike his sister Pippen is a little on the shy side.  They are quite independent of each other but you often see them engaging in an exuberant game of chase and play being as they are of an age that supports a definite equal level of energy!  Elrond could be adopted on his own or with his sister.  They do get along but are not a bonded pair.  Their personalities are quite opposite with Elrond likely to prefer a quieter home versus Pippen who seems to enjoy a little more attention and action.  Elrond, with his loveable little face will capture your heart and once you get to know him, you can't help but fall in love with this little gentleman.  He is always ready to share his little purr with you in appreciation of the attention you give.

Marble came to us because his owner had passed away and the family was not able to care for him and his roommates, Ebony and Twilight. Fortunately Twilight has already been adopted. Marble is currently the oldest feline at our facility, at over ten years old.

Marble is a grand old sole, a big friendly orange tabby looking for some much needed attention and loving. The thing with Marble is that he has a bit of a short attention span. He loves petting and attention and will follow you around all day long monitoring your duties and what is happening, but he has a limit and lets you know when he has had enough loving for now.  Although Marble does like attention and petting, he has shown us that he prefers petting on the head and neck area but would rather you not go any further.  Unfortunately Marble does get a lot of mats in his coat but doesn't like to be brushed.  To keep on top of the mats requires much patience and daily vigilance.

His purr is resounding, his appreciation for attention is obvious but his does have his limits. Understanding this personality quirk is essential to understanding the little gentleman himself. We love him and he loves us, but we have to abide by his limitations. He is basically a happy older gentleman who just wants a home of his own.

"Good Golly Miss Molly!" Sweet, affectionate, loveable, playful and so much more. Molly is a unique feline with a beautiful coat of many colors, with stripes and spots and eyes with depth, wisdom and love. With her time spent here at the CNP SPCA we found that although Molly got along with pretty much every other cat in the facility, she still enjoys her own space at the end of the day.

Molly would do well in a home with adults and few other pets if any. She is quick to come when her name is called and loves exclusive attention. You would have a friend indeed if you were to take Molly into your home and your heart. One special cat to meet should you chance a visit to the CNP SPCA.

Pekoe arrived with his mother, Bella and two siblings early May 2021. The family was the product of another senseless and irresponsible pet owner callously dumping their cats on an acreage.

Pekoe has always been on the shy side with little confidence and hesitates to initiate attention but once you start petting him and talking to him, he relaxes and quite enjoys himself.

Pekoe would do well in a quiet home with no other pets or children. He is not a large cat (being the runt of the litter) and will likely remain fine boned and dainty. When Pekoe looks at you, his wide sad eyes almost break your heart. He deserves a warm lap, lots of love all his own and a pair of strong comforting gentle arms to wrap around him and show him how special he really is.

Update:  We had recently found that Pekoe was suffering with gum disease and some dental issues.  We have addressed these with medications and have had some of his teeth removed.  Pekoe has recovered well and is now back to eating dry cat food.  He is such a sweet little gentleman that we have taken to pampering him and indulging in feeding him some canned cat food once a day which he enjoys to the utmost!  I am sure it is the highlight of his day.

It was a warm, sunny afternoon on July 14, 2017 when one of our volunteers was just leaving and noticed a very large box just inside the front door. There were 4 kittens inside, only about 7 weeks old but in good shape and had obviously been handled by people.

Stevie was quite cautious and a little on the shy side. He seemed to be a tad bit larger than the other kittens and that became more evident as time went by. He grew and grew and grew! All of a sudden he was at least twice as big as all the others, but still remains “the gentle giant”. He continues to linger on the very shy side. It may take a little patience in getting to know him and to have him trust you. He would do well in a home of his own with no other pets to distract him. If you can catch him snoozing and pet him, he will purr to show his contentment and appreciation but has not yet the confidence to initiate interaction with anyone. Although not overly social, in his own home we believe he would come out of his shell.

Cute as a button with such little black spots on his nose Stevie will steal your heart.  You will find he is a man of few words but his eyes say it all.

December 8, 2016 our volunteers found a box had been pushed through the door. Inside we found 2 small kittens, no more than 6 months old. These little kittens were definitely very scared, not particularly friendly and it was obvious neither of them wanted anything to do with people!

Quinn is a handsome young man even though a little cross-eyed. For the first few months he was so terrified of us and his new surroundings that he would run for his life if anyone even looked his way. Little by little Quinn has been “relaxing” and being somewhat more social. Over the past year he will often let you pet him and has recently been “talking” either to himself as he plays or to the other cats – something he had never done before.

Quinn would do very well in a quiet home as the only pet, or perhaps with one other cat of similar age. It is obvious that Quinn is looking for love and affection but is just not altogether comfortable in showing it or asking for it right now.

He is a quirky little man with odd shaped cross eyes and the tiniest little hesitant voice. You can’t help but fall in love with him. He deserves a very special place in your heart!!

Update:  We recently had Quinn diagnosed with dental problems that were starting to affect his health and weight.  The Vet removed most of Quinn's teeth - he now has his canines and a few teeth between them only.  He has recovered very well and in his recovery (and our special care during that recovery) his personality seems to have changed.  Once a cat that could never be approached and would run from any attempt, Quinn will now approach you, mewing quietly and accepting some gentle petting while rubbing against your legs.  We are still not able to pick him up or cuddle him, but our patience and gentle care during his sedation and recuperation seems to have reset a bit of his trust for us.

Quinn is regaining his health and weight and is reacting well to some affection, gentle brushing and attention.  We are seeing him eating dry cat food now but we are supplementing his diet with a daily ration of canned delights.

We are not confident that Quinn would ever feel comfortable in a "new" home, and if he doesn't find his "soul mate" we are more than happy to have him remain at the shelter for as long as need be.

Quinn would require an quiet older adult home with no children/grandchildren or any other pets.

In the least, we hope you will drop by to meet Quinn and maybe help further his new-found trust in people!  This little guy is someone you will never regret meeting!

Once again, that awful story surfaces – callous, irresponsible, uncaring people dropping off a pregnant female cat on an acreage, cowardly and not taking responsibility for their actions, hoping someone else will take care of the problem! Momma cat gave birth to her kittens; all but four found homes. The CNP SPCA took in those remaining four kittens on November 7, 2019.

It didn’t take Puffin long to warm up to the fact that she was safe, protected and needn’t be afraid of all the new people she was meeting. Puffin has an unassuming personality it seems. She is the “kid” that stands back while others get attention. She would rather not initiate a lot of attention, but is always around the perimeter waiting to be noticed.

When she is noticed, she is receptive and comfortable with any attention she gets. When you do notice her, she reciprocates in triplicate! Her purr is resounding, her affection unlimited, and her appreciation and gratitude unmistakable!

Puffin would do best in a home on her own to boost confidence in herself. She is not shy per se, but she does have a quiet side to her personality. The more we love her and show her attention, the more she responds. All she needs is some time to realize that she is special and can be the centre of someone’s love and affection.

November 7, 2019 was an all too familiar and sad scenario at the CNP SPCA. A pregnant female cat had been dropped off at an acreage by irresponsible and uncaring people leaving the acreage family to take on the commitment to this helpless animal. The family opted to keep the mother cat and one of the kittens, but needed to find homes for the rest of the litter. They managed to find homes for two more, and the CNP SPCA chose to take in the last four.

It was evident that Oreo was the curious one. She was usually the first to explore a corner, play with a new toy or find a new perch in the window.

Her cautious nature has all but disappeared now, and she can often be found seeking out attention and affection. She is totally comfortable in jumping up into your lap for some cuddles or just hanging out with you while you are working.

Oreo plays well with other cats in the facility and generally gets along with everyone. She is happy and playful, often initiating a game of tag with one of the other cats. Laps are a favorite napping place if you are able to sit for a while and her purring is automatic!!

It is an old and sad but familiar tale we hear all too often at the CNP SPCA. Acreages and farms are dumping grounds for unwanted, unaltered cats and dogs. This was also the scenario surrounding Neko’s family.

The family opted to keep the mother cat and the smallest kitten of the litter. Two more found a home with a neighbor, but that left four needing somewhere to go. We took them in November 7, 2019.

At only 11 weeks old, Neko, the only male, had us at the first “meow”!! Precocious, playful, needy, loving, affectionate, funny, adorable – he was all of these things and more! He also has the most outgoing personality and seems to love everyone who walks through the door! Always happy and on the go, Neko is constantly helping you with whatever you are doing at the time. He just wants to be with you no matter what.

His little tuxedo markings are “purrfect” with his little black nose, white muzzle, white bib and matching white boots. He is quite content to be the centre of attention and basking in any adoration you can offer. If you sit down, Neko will be on your lap immediately, purring and making himself at home.

You can’t help but fall in love with this happy little man!

On December 8, 2016 our volunteers were getting ready to leave for the day and found a box had been pushed quietly through the door without our knowing. Inside we found two very small kittens no more than 6 months old, cowering in the corner.

Jansci is a beautiful girl who belongs on a Hallmark card for sure. Despite our best efforts, patience and compassion towards her she is very slow to respond.

She spends all day alone and we rarely see her out and about. She will hiss at you should you reach out to pet her and is absolutely petrified when you pick her up. If only she could tell us where this fear comes from and what is wrong. But she cannot, she is trapped in her own world of terror and just wants to be left alone.

If you find it in your heart to want to help Jansci we applaud you. She will need so much love, patience and kindness to help her out.

We are hoping that should she find a home of her own, a quiet place with no other pets or children, she will begin to enjoy life and feel the contentment and comfort she deserves. We will never know what tragedy befell this beautiful creature or what terror has remained in her heart and mind to this day.

Fergie is striking with her beautiful golden eyes and black and white coat. The little freckle on her cheek puts a smile on your face every time you look at her. Fergie loves attention and affection.  Her purr is resounding as soon as you call her name or look in her direction. You can’t help but want to scoop her up and cuddle her, and she has no problem at all with that!!!

Fergie is a sweet, affectionate little girl who would give the world for a loving family of her own.  Her heart is bigger than she is and she has so much love to give!
