Maize was a 6 week old kitten who came to us from the City of Edmonton Animal Control. She had suffered sharp object trauma to her eye. We immediately took her to our veterinarian where her eye had to be removed. She has healed up great and is a very busy little girl who rules the roost!

Lyla is the resident Canine of the Foundation. By day she is the guard dog, but by night she comes in and helps care for the kitties, giving baths before bedtime.

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 degloved and his condition stable. The owner of the car brought Liam into the facility and euthanization seemed like the only end. On that day, an angel was looking out for him.

I love cats. My family and friends know me as a cat lover. I am not
only notorious for collecting the feline subject on objects such as pajamas, socks, cups, and purses but also, the four legged creatures them selves.

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.

Dear Marjorie, We are making this donation in the memory of Ron Mitchell and on behalf of Emily. In early 2006 Ron had to enter a long-term care facility in south Edmonton. Through a series of events we agreed to take care of his old friend “Rusty”. At first, it looked like Rusty would only be around for a few months what with his age (20) and being almost blind. It also didn’t look good for Ron. He was on a feeder tube and seemed destined for a lonely end.

I am Fresca. I was hit by a car and both my pelvis and one hind leg were broken. I’m now recovered and safe at the Hervey Foundation Sanctuary!

“M” was found in a school yard. She was so starved that for several months she was unable to walk on her hind legs.

Dear Marjorie, Nearly a year ago now, my husband and I adopted an adorable tiny orange kitten from the Hervey Foundation. We named him Zen and he is a joy to us and has been known to charm the most stubborn of cat-dislikers.

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.

For one little kitten, a first impression was definitely the lasting impression that saved his life. If it wasn’t for his quiet demeanor and love bug attitude, he might have been overlooked as an adoptable rescue at the Edmonton pound.

This past August when Marjorie brought in a new group to have their surgeries one little kitten caught my eye. He wasn’t the prettiest little guy as ¾ of his tail was necrotic but it was his personality that caught my attention.
