"Pedro" was one of the first cats that went to The Hervey Foundation for Cats from The City of Emdonton Animal Control. "Pedro" was found in a dumpster after being hit by a vehicle and turned into the Edmonton Animal Control by a passerby who heard him crying. He was scheduled for euthanasia on the day they rescued him - his leg was so badly shattered - their vet amputated it. He is the most loving adorable little creature on the earth an is one of our "mascot" cats. "Pedro" shares the spotlight with a new and much younger mascot name "Liam" that will be joining Animal Control in the fall.

Liam came to Animal Control at the end of January 2007, only 8 - 10 weeks old. Liam had been badly hurt by a fan belt while keeping warm under the hood of a car. Liam's back leg had been de-gloved and his condition stable. The howner of the car brought Liam itno the facility and euthanization seemed like the only end. On that day, an angel was looking out for him.

Karen, a vet tech on staff at Animal Control could not bring herself to euthanize him while he lay in her arms purring. Instead, Karen approached her director and asked if there was money in the Animal Care Fund to provide treatment through EVEC. Thankfully, there was enough money in the fund and EVEC agreed to provide treatment. Once EVEC looked at the injuries, it was decided that full amputation was the best choice. To veryone's surprise EVEC donated their services and a new leas on life was give to Liam.

After two weeks, Liam was transferred here for rehabilitation and to join many other "special" angels who get to live out their life with love and happiness.

Liam is settled in and doing well.

Willoughby was a cat that came to us from Edmonton Animal Control  He had six legs. Four front legs and two hind legs.
This poor little fellow had such a hard time walking as two of the legs on one side were so deformed they were a hindrance to him.  We sent him into our vet and it was decided that the two legs on the side should be amputated and the other two were fused together so did not cause him any problems.
His surgery went well and he came back to us to live.  He was so shy and we worried that we were never going to be able to bring him around, but after much time and love Willoughby has adjusted. Now he runs and plays with the other cats and in general has become a clown.
He is so loving.  We are glad to have him and  we would like to thank the many wonderful people that donated to us to help with his surgery.

Hannah came to us from Edmonton Animal Control. She had a severely broken right front leg, where our Vet had to amputate her leg. She will be staying with us as one of our Mascot Cats. She now has adjusted from the surgery and has the ability to walk well without the leg, and is fitting in well with the rest of the family. She is an adorable kitten.

E.T.A. Hannah passed away on November 11, 2007. She was dearly loved and will be missed terribly.

Pumpkin came to us very ill. Apparently she had ingested a caustic substance. After several months of care and devotion with us she is eating normally, has regained her ability to walk and is fitting in well with the rest of our family.

Willie was found on the road covered in blood. The lady who found him contacted us and we made arrangements for him to go to our Vet Clinic. He had numerous injuries from being caught in the fan belt of a vehicle. Through the loving care and hours of surgery from Tudor Glen Vet Clinic he has recovered and found a new home that will allow him to fully recover from his wounds.
Unfortunately, at this time of year this occurs too often as cats seek out a warm place to sleep during the cold. A good reason to keep your animal inside.

Blaze was rescued from Edmonton Animal Control. He was very frightened and obviously was very lost. If we had not taken him he would have been euthanized. He is learning to trust us and the other cats, is gaining weight and will certainly develop into the beautiful loving cat that he is.

Charlotte was abandoned at the Hermitage Vet Clinic – left in a cardboard crate in their waiting room. None of the staff could get near her. She was forwarded to Tudor Glen Vet Clinic where we were able to at least look at her and he decided that she was too beautiful to be put down. Tammy and her staff managed to spay her and she joined our family. We found out that she had been badly abused all her life – for many months no one could get near her as she was so frightened. In the last few weeks she now cuddles up to us and is becoming the beautiful sweet creature she was intended to be.

Cricket’s mom was killed when he was 2 days old – he was bottle fed for weeks. After a few touch and go months he is thriving and is an extremely busy and loving little guy.

Courtney was rescued from Edmonton Animal Control where she was to be put down. She is extremely rare and unusual as she is a Dilute Calico – polydactal (6 toes on both feet) AND is a Manx (very short tale). It was touch and go with Courtney for several months as she was quite ill – she is now growing, gaining weight and plays with Cricket and the other kids. She loves climbing – we are considering a climbing wall for her.

Tibera, a Siamese cross, came to us through Edmonton Animal Control. His back leg was badly crushed and he was to be put down. His leg was amputated by our vet. He is mending well and has become a loving welcome addition to our family. He loves to play with Courtney, Cricket and Sebastian and is turning into a lovely kittie.

Sebastian, a beautiful Siamese cross, came to us through Edmonton Animal Control where he had been slotted for euthanasia. He is now doing well in our family and will certainly become one of our mascot show kitties.

Baby Bentley was found in a cardboard box in a ditch, along with 3 of his siblings – about 4 weeks old. He had a broken front leg and other injuries. He has recovered from his injuries and provides many hours of love and joy around our adoption centre.

McDuff was (one of 4) found in a snow covered box behind a local restaurant. He is growing into his tail – oh ! to have a cat’s life.

"M" was found in a school yard. She was so starved that for several months she was unable to walk on her hind legs. After proper feeding and care she found her legs but has a deficiency that makes her bones very brittle and her legs break easily.

Pedro was found in a dumpster after being hit by a vehicle - turned into the Edmonton Animal Control by a passerby who heard him crying. He was scheduled for euthanasia on the day we rescued him - his leg was so badly shattered - our vet amputated it. He is the most loving adorable little creature on the earth and is one of our "mascot" cats.

Endora was turned in to us from a local family that was a neighbour to an abusive person.

She had been badly abused and when she came to us her rear leg was badly mutilated.

Like Pedro – her leg was so badly mutilated our vet amputated it and she has made a good recovery.

She gets along well with the other cats but still doesn’t trust humans – we are working with on the very time consuming task of earning her trust again.

"Snowplow", now Penny was turned into Edmonton Animal Control at about 6 weeks of age. She had blunt force trauma to her head, broken ribs and several other injuries. She couldn't walk or eat and was on the virge of dying. The caring, loving staff at Edmonton Animal Control nursed her and managed to get her to take milk and get her able to walk. Since she came to us she is now walking, eating and playing with the other kitties. We are hopeful that her recovery will be complete.

Millicent (MILLIE) came to us from Edmonton Animal Control. Her face had been badly broken up. We are not sure whether she had been hit by a vehicle or not. Dr. Aaaron Howard at Tudor Glen Vet Clinic worked for hours wiring up her broken jaw and face. She is recovering from her injuries and is a warm loving kitten.

PS. She is polydactal on her front feet.

Noah, a loving smoke kitten, came to us from Edmonton Animal Control where he had be slated to be euthanized.

The tip of his tail had undergone an unknown injury. his hair was badly matted and parts of his hair was missing.

He is doing great in his new home with us.

Theodore (Theo) had been abused and was turned into Edmonton Animal Control with a broken leg. He is a beautiful 8 week old Snowshoe kitten. His leg has been operated on by our vets and he is making a good recovery and has many playmates that he frolics with.

Sheena - a beautiful Siamese cross kitten about 6 months old was turned into Edmonton Animal Control where she was slated to be euthanized.

She does have "attitude" but is gradually adjusting to her new home.

"Mischief" came to us as a kitten from Edmonton Animal Control where he was slated to be euthanized. He was named by Kathy Byram and has proven to be totally up to his name. Here is is helping dad with some of the dry walling in between his mischevious activities.

It is very hard to get a picture of him as he is the closest thing to perpetual motion on the planet.

"Theona" a truly precious snowshoe kitten also came to us with her sisters from Edmonton Animal Control - one of her sisters has found a new home and the other is looking for a new home.

How could anybody resist this face ?
