Rikki Bellerive

Date of Birth: January 14, 2025

Sex: Female

Energy Levels: Medium

Good with:

Cats: Yes, I would prefer a slow intros but I like other cats very much!

Dogs: Unknown, I would need your help to make sure we go slow and safely

Kids: Unlikely, unless they are older & gentle with me.

Rescue Story: I was part of a north Edmonton colony whose caretakers called CCE when they saw some of the older females were pregnant. They scooped up the whole colony and I was pretty nervous, but CCE saw that I could be an inside-girl and took a chance on me. I am now looking for a patient, forever home!

About Me: My name is Rikki, I am an incredibly sweet girl with a nervous disposition. 

Once I was a shrinking violet, who’s now becoming a striking wallflower! I won’t hear any nay saying about it, we’re all works in progress; own your flaws darlings, ‘lest they own you. Long story short, I’m shy and probably always will be. But that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to have fun!

I am an active and playful girl. I love to chase and pounce and I absolutely adore a string! I don’t mind playing by myself, but I would definitely enjoy a chance to play together. People make play-time so much more exciting! Left to my own devices, I will happily play with a ball or a spring, and I usually make sure to collect them afterwards in my favorite corner. 

Sadly I’m not yet much of a cuddler, but I do very much enjoy being pet. Just please don’t approach too fast! You’re so big and I’m so small, but humans do give the best scratches.

I am from a colony so I’ve got plenty of cat experience and would love to have a playful friend in the home, as long as they aren’t too pushy. I’m nervous by nature, so I have trouble standing up for myself if someone thinks they can push me around. I’m also a slow eater so I might need my bowl protected if your current cat likes to score a second helping. 

I have no food restrictions and am not picky. A good quality wet and dry combo will work for me.

Vetting: I am spayed, dewormed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. 

Adoption Fee: $100 – my fee has been discounted to help me find my furever home!

Penny & Raj Theory

Date of Birth: November 30, 2023

Sex: Female (Penny) & Male (Raj)

Energy levels: Medium

Good with:

  • Cats: We are great with each other but have not lived with other cats
  • Dogs: Unknown, but we would need a calm, cat-savvy dog only
  • Kids: Unknown, we would likely do well with gentle, respectful kids

Rescue Story: We were originally adopted out as a bonded pair in 2024, however our family was moving out of the country and returned us to CCE. We are still looking for our furrever home, could it be you?

About Us: Hi! We’re Raj and Penny, a bonded brother-and-sister pair looking for our forever home together 💛

I’m Raj, the affectionate one. I’ll greet you at the door, rub against your legs, and follow you around for pets and attention. I’m very long (I love a big stretch), enjoy belly rubs, and take my toy-hunting duties seriously—once I catch something, it’s going straight to a secret hiding spot. I can be a little shy with big changes, but once I’m settled, I’m a calm, well-mannered guy who offers cuddles when you’ve earned them.

And I’m Penny, the shy but very sweet one. New people can be scary, but once I trust you, I’ll stick close—waiting outside doors, supervising bathroom visits, and curling up on your lap or chest. I love to be patted instead of pet (like a regular cat), and if you start that well I will become one cuddly girl! I’m curious, love standing on my back legs to sniff everything, and my favorite part of the day is special blanket time, where I get to cocoon myself in warmth.

We don’t have experience with dogs or kids—Penny prefers things calm, and Raj may be open with slow introductions. We might be shy at first, but give us a little time and patience and we promise to love you furr-ever (especially if tube treats are involved!).

We are currently eating a grain free kibble and need to remain on a scheduled diet to ensure we maintain or svelt figures.  Our foster mama is trying our wet food flavours to see if she can help us lose a little weight as well!

Vetting: We are spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and fully vaccinated

Adoption Fee: $250 for the purrfect pair!

Sasha Bellerive

Date of Birth: September 14, 2024

Sex: Female 

Energy Levels: Medium

Good with:

  • Cats: Yes, with a proper introduction I could do quite well with other cats
  • Dogs: Unknown, but with care and time I think we would be okay
  • Kids: I am a gentle girl and with gentle kids I think I think we would do famously

Rescue Story:  I was part of a local Edmonton Colony whose caretakers called CCE when they saw that I was pregnant. CCE volunteers swooped in and made sure that me and my new kittens were warm, fed, and safe. They have all headed off to new homes and now it’s finally my turn. 

About Me:  With striking colours and a personality to match, I,  Sasha, take the stage!

They called me a Queen when I came in, and with my striking colours and regal personality I can certainly see why. I am beautiful, I know it, and I will not be shy about letting you know it as well. I am not content to be worshiped from afar, I LOVE to be pet and will reward you with a melodic purr to let you know you’ve done a good job. 

I confess, I am not much of a lapcat, but I am working on it. My foster has introduced me to being picked up and cuddled. There’s not much of that when you grow up outside, but I am warming to the idea. When it is time to be put back down I can become a squirmy girl, but I am always careful to be gentle.

Where my younger side really shines is in play. I love to run, jump, and pounce! I think we’ll have a ton of fun together. In particular, I enjoy a tug of war if you’ve got a strong arm and a string tough enough!

Growing up in the colony, I am used to being around and interacting with other cats. With a proper introduction I could do well with other cats, but I would also be okay with a monopoly on your love and time. 

Normally I am a fan of the finer things, but crystals in the urine are no fun. I am on a urinary diet both wet and dry from the vet, and will need to stay on this diet long term.

Vetting: I am spayed, dewormed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated.

Pepper & Peanut Lago

Date of Birth: July 3, 2018 (Pepper) & November 28, 2020 (Peanut)

Sex: Male (Pepper) & Female (Peanut)

Energy levels: Medium – we love to play but also have a chill side!

Good with:

  • Cats: Yes, would likely do well with proper introduction
  • Dogs: Would likely do well with proper introduction
  • Kids: Older children may be ok but no small kids, sorry!

Rescue Story: We were originally TNR’d by CCE several years ago. Our caretaker decided to no longer care for us and we were about to become barn cats but CCE was contacted first and we were both brought in to ensure we stayed indoors. We have been together for several years & are ready for the sweet, indoor life! 

About Us:  Hi, I’m Pepper, and soon I’ll introduce you to my sister Peanut! We’ve been together for years—through thick and thin—and we’re not going anywhere without each other. Peanut needs me, she’s my little sister, my shadow, and I help her feel safe in this big, scary world.

I’m outgoing, affectionate, and a total lovebug. I live for attention. If I think you’ve been ignoring me too long (say, five minutes?), I’ll gently tap your hand, shoulder, or even climb up to remind you: it’s petting time. Sometimes I perch on shoulders like a parrot—yep, that’s my thing. I’m also known for making biscuits on your back when you’re relaxing. It’s my love language.

I’ll happily chase soft balls around the room or bunny-kick the heck out of a small stuffed toy, but when playtime’s done? I’m 100% your lap cat. I’m the definition of cuddly, affectionate, and demanding—in the cutest way, of course. Oh, and full disclosure? I have a bit of a catnip problem. I love the stuff. A lot. You’ve been warned.

I’m what they call an enthusiastic digger when it comes to the litter box, so I do best with one that has nice high sides to keep things tidy (I mean, I try my best, but my paws get a little carried away). 

Now for my sister, Peanut… Peanut is the quiet type, but don’t let her shyness fool you. She has a soft, gentle spirit and just needs time to know she’s safe. When she feels secure (thanks to me being nearby), she’ll come up and politely ask for back rubs—her favorite. She’s not a lap cat, and she probably won’t be the first to greet guests. But if you’re patient and give her the calm, gentle space she craves, she’ll quietly work her way into your heart.

Peanut came into rescue in rough shape—her long fur was painfully matted, and she had to be shaved down. But even at the groomer, she was a total angel. Her fur is growing back beautifully now, but she’ll need regular brushing to keep her coat healthy and mat-free.

Our ideal home would be one Peanut would be comfortable in, since she is a bit more shy. We’re respectful of other cats, including seniors. We don’t currently live with dogs, but with proper introductions, we’d likely be okay. Just give us time and patience. Since small kids would scare Peanut, we would prefer a home with older, gentle kids or none at all, please. 

As for food, we’re easy—Peanut and I both enjoy wet and dry food (BFF and Go! brand are our faves), but we’re not picky eaters. 

If you’re looking for a perfect pair—with one loving, playful lap cat and one gentle soul who will quietly keep you company—we’re your cats. We balance each other out in the most beautiful way.

Vetting: We are neutered/spayed, dewormed, microchipped & fully vaccinated

Adoption Fee: $100 for this beautiful pair of panthers!

Rosie Dee

Date of Birth: May 31, 2017

Sex: Female

Energy levels: Medium

Good with: 

  • Cats: No, I would like to be the only cat in the house please
  • Dogs: No, I would like a home without dogs as well 
  • Kids: Unknown, but older & cat savvy kids may be ok 

Rescue Story: Rosie was surrendered by her owner after she could no longer care for or afford her. As Rosie had a difficult time adjusting from the move, she has been with CCE for several months while she became comfortable. Finally, Miss Rosie is ready for her furrever home!

About Me:  Hi, I’m Rosie and you may have heard I am a sensitive soul. I spent over 5 years in my first home before being abandoned, and have now been in my foster home for over a year. My journey has made me cautious, but alo incredibly loyal to the person I choose to trust. 

I take my time to warm up, and I am not shy about setting boundaries. I will give a gentle growl when I don’t want to be touched – but you can’t say I’m not a clear communicator! I just ask for some patience and respect… and I promise I will pay it back once I’ve settled. 

I am mostly an independent girl, but I love being near my person. I’ll sleep snuggled besides you at night, stretch out on your desk while you work from home and keep watch over the household from my favourite perch on top of the fridge. 

My ideal home is a peaceful, pet-free home where I can open up more and truly thrive. I am not a fan of my  ‘foster brothers’ in my current home and would prefer to be the only pet (trust me, my foster mama has tried to get me to like the boys but it’s just not the life for me!). 

I am currently eating kibble & wet food and am getting both daily. I would do well on a scheduled diet so I don’t gain too much weight.

If you’re someone who understands that good things take time, please fill out an application to come and meet me, I promise that I’ll be your best friend after some time 🙂

Vetting: I am spayed, dewormed, microchipped & fully vaccinated
