Meet the Cats

At any given time, Catelowna is home to between 25 and 35 cats, and not all of them are represented in the list below. Sometimes adoption interest happens before we’ve had the chance to get to know a cat well enough to write a full profile, and other times cats may be with us for rehabilitation and aren’t quite at the adoptable stage yet—though with the right person, it can still be a perfect click. If you’re looking for a particular fit, we encourage you to visit so we can chat face to face and help guide you. Sometimes matches are even made before cats arrive in the lounge, which means you could get first dibs.

    BONDED WITH Each Other  

    Hazel here: I'm the fun one. Well, Penny is fun too I'm just the goofier sister with a hilarious obsession with food. I do love to play as well - solo, with toys, or with my humans, and I'm always available for pets and attention.  At bedtime, I transform into the world's cuddliest little snuggle bug. I'm also just an adorable little cutie patootie weirdo - I mean, look at my face! Penny Here: I'm the sweet, gentle, quieter sister. Don’t let that fool you - I may be polite but I'm not to be messed with. I communicate my appreciation for pets through enthusiastic littler headbutts, and when the mood strikes, I get the zoomies! I love playing with Hazel, by myself, and most importantly I relish a good hammock. A girl needs her beauty sleep after all. We're bonded sisters so we are a package deal. Two personalities. Twice the purrs. One lucky adopter.

    Before we get started, I'd like to clear something up….I am not grumpy. I am not plotting anything against you…maybe I’m a little depressed…. I simply have strong opinions about my current living arrangements. You see, I had a family who raised me since kittenhood. I was happy, loved and very much part of the family. Until a human baby arrived. Suddenly everything changed and I found myself here, surrounded by a bunch of cats I absolutely did not ask to live with. Honestly? I'd like to go home now, please.  The funny thing is, underneath this very serious café face, I'm actually a cuddly, sweet and really lovely guy.  You'll just have to take our word for it because I'm currently too busy being offended by my roommates to demonstrate it properly. If you're looking for a handsome, misunderstood gentleman who will happily become your best friend once home and settled, get me out of here now! I don't need much, just love and my own place.

    Like a reliable power tool - press the button and it just works? That's me. Same name, same dependable performance…except instead of fixing shelves, I fix your emotional wellbeing (and occasionally your lap temp.) I come with good looks, excellent taste in humans, and just enough chatter to keep things interesting - but not full opera singer at 3am levels like some of my compatriots. Let's discuss the important part: me on your chest. It's where I belong. I am a professional cuddler and I take my job seriously. I have a lill' soft spot for female humans - what can I say, I know my audience.  I also love to play! Feather wand, string toy, laser pointer - I'm with you and I'm engaged.  I bring a balanced life. So, if you're looking for a handsome, slightly chatty, cuddle bug, I'm your guy.

    I'm what you might call the epitome of a single lady - I'm an independent woman and a professional princess. I love my own space, I know what I want, and more importantly I know exactly when I want it, how I want it, and I will absolutely let you know if you get it wrong.  I have standards.  But don't mistake my independence for a lack of affection. I LOVE laps. In fact, once I have decided that that your lap is worthy, you may consider yourself very lucky…and owned. I also like to start every morning with a little exercise routine - call it parkour, I call it keeping in shape.  I'm looking for a home where I can be my sweet, fabulous self and the lady I was born to be. Give me space, respect my boundaries, keep the snacks coming and provide a nice warm lap when I'm ready for cuddles - and we'll get on beautifully.  I don't  need a lot. I just need things my way. Is that too much to ask?

    SO, yes, probably a Sicilian name. Definitely a Sicilian attitude! I'm a handsome champagne tabby with the cool, calm and collected energy of a mob boss. You'll usually find me sitting quietly at the side of the  room, watching…analysing..judging..keeping a close eye on all my  subordinate felines. I have a legendary poker face and a mysterious air about me. One minute I’m simply observing the room like the Don himself, and the next - if someone looks at me wrong - Pounce!  For this reason, I'd prefer to run my household as a one-cat operation.  No other furry associates required. I'm looking for a home where I can be the undisputed boss and kingpin. With humas though? I'm a pretty chill dude. I enjoy proper cat activities like receiving pets & sitting next to you on the couch, looking cool and pretending I'm not secretly  enjoying your company.  Adopt me and Fuhgeddaboudit 🐾🍊

  • Sassy and Skittles

    Two sweet sisters desperate for our happily ever after - and we have one question: Why are we still here!! We have been waiting for far too long. We're adorable, loving, and very ready to find a home. I'm Sassy, the gentle, outgoing one - a certified love muffin and professional  snuggler. I'll greet you with soft, chirpy meows and melt into your arms like butter. I'm basically a sturdy ball of floof who believes being loved is my full-time job. HI, I'm Skittles - I may not jump into your lap; a girl like to take her time, but I am warming up to the idea! I absolutely love scritches and bum scratches, and I'll reward you with the most adorable little chirps of satisfaction. Keep it up and we'll be best friends in no time.  We're lovely girls who keep getting overlooked and, frankly, no reason to keep us waiting.  Are you the special person to whisk us away?

    BONDED WITH Each other  

    Yes, we are the longest residents at Catelowna.  When we first arrived, we carried a lot of fear. We were experts at disappearing at just a glimpse of a human. With patience, love and a whole lot of churro bribery, we've come a very long way. We're still a little on the anxious side - we're not 'ready to lap' cats. We will take things slow; make sure you deserve our trust. Then, you'll see our sweet sides and can pet us.   Timothy is the chatty one. He communicates through chirps, as if you’re an exciting bird outside the window. I am more of a delicate flower, still learning that the world isn't such a scary place. We may have taken longer than some to get here, but we promise we are worth the wait, in a quiet, loving home away from the hustle and bustle, we will blossom. We don't need a perfect human. We just need someone patient, kind and willing to show us that we're safe and finally home. That you?

    Yeah - I’m just about the most loveable, goofiest guy you’ll ever meet. I’m quite happy entertaining myself in a fun tunnel or throwing a cat nip toy around. I may have FIV and I may not be a spring kitten anymore but that does not slow me down or make me any less adorable. You just can’t help but look at me, see me play, and feel the biggest smile come upon your face. I have been in the battles as an outdoor street kid in SK but now I couldn’t imagine being anywhere but next to my hooman, in the comforts of soft cushions and central heating. If you want daily showers of love coming from your insides, I’m your guy.
