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: Hello, my name is Rikki! I am a dangerously sweet girl with a nervous disposition. 

Once I was a shrinking violet, now merely 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. 

I LOOOOOOVE being pet, and I have been known to hop up onto the bed for an evening cuddle session, but I can get a bit overwhelmed at times. Once I know you’re safe I promise I won’t run far. There’s a cuddlebug in me, I just know it, but I need your help in finding her. 

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 might try to score a second helping. I could probably figure out life with a dog, with your support I know I can make it through anything. Respectful kids and I would get along famously. 

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

If you’re ready for a cat who will love you to the moon and back, I am ready to find my forever.

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 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: Hello, I’m Sasha! I have been a wild thing, I will make your heart sing, and I WILL make everything groovy. 

When I came in, they didn’t know what to do with me; I was feisty, I was bold, I was unstoppable. But now, they know they have a cuddly, soft, and lovey girl who is ready for forever. 

I came to CCE when they scooped up my entire colony, and I, very pregnant, experienced the wonders of soft beds and climate control for the first time. I had my kittens, taught them to love and cuddle, prepared them best I could for a life I could never have imagined, and sent them off into the world. The rescue saw them all to loving homes and now it’s just me. 

I was in foster care with two of my brothers, I watched them melt from the tough, scrappy boys I knew growing up to gentle cuddle-bugs who found their place, taken in and treasured. I didn’t see that it was happening to me too. I didn’t feel the softness growing in my eyes, didn’t realize that I could lose myself in play, didn’t know how good it felt to lean into a scratch in *just* the right place. But CCE did. 

I’m not the same girl I was when CCE saved us. I’m a chatty young lady, always ready for cuddles and kisses and I am NOT shy about asking for them. I’m a clever girl, I tilt my head *just so* to let you know I’m working through a problem. I have discovered BEDS, the perfect surface to melt into a purring puddle or to have a cheeky play. I like to sleep right beside my people, but I’m experimenting with *On* the people and *under* the covers.

I’m ready, I think, to find my forever. I would do well with other cats, or I could be your one and only. I do alright with dogs from my limited exposure, but a nice, slow introduction would be beneficial if you have one living with you. Kids I can handle, I was a mother once, perhaps I could even teach you a thing or two. 

My health is good. I am on a veterinary urinary diet and I will need to stay on it to prevent urine crystals. I don’t like the Hills chicken wet food, it’s important that you know that; I spent a lot of time getting that across to my fosters and I shan’t do it again! My adoption fee has been discounted to reflect these extra costs. 

To be loved is to be changed, and I am ready to be changed again if you are. Come meet me; I am ready to, finally, go home.

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

Adoption Fee: $100 – my fee has been discounted!

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
