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.

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.

Pepper
Female 9 yrs
DOGS - Maybe KIDS - Yes CATS - Yes
Hi, I'm Pepper - not spicy, just beautiful. The silky black coat? Timeless. The mysterious window-gazing? Artistic. The calm, collected energy? Effortless. As I'm 9 yrs old, I've outgrown chaos and fully embraced the finer things in life: soft blankets, sunny windows, peaceful homes, and humans who understand that affection is best when it happens naturally. I'm not the type to launch myself at your face at 3am demanding attention. No, No. I will gracefully approach when I'm ready for cuddles….and honestly, you should feel honoured when I do. That said, if you come to me first? I'll probably accept your love anyway. I'm relaxed like that. What I really want is a simple, quite forever home with a lovig human also want comfort and companionship that lasts. A window seat with my name on it would be fab too.

Lucas
Male 10 months
DOGS - Maybe KIDS - Yes CATS - Yes
I'm the totally adorable, slightly wobbly, built like a tiny drunk woodland creature with the worlds squishiest face, kitty. I have CH, which means I move through life with a little extra flair and require a home that's willing to make some accommodations for me - things like carpeting for traction, ramps to the couch and bed and easy ways for me to get where I need to go. Mainly because I absolutely MUST be close to you at all times. Honestly, I'm less a cat and more a devoted emotional support marshmallow. I adore affection. I want to be near you, snuggling beside you, and lovingly staring at you with my hilarious squinty little expressions that make people laugh every single day. I am looking for someone kind, patient and who sees my quirks not as inconveniences but as part of what make me so special. A loving little guy who just wants a safe forever home and a human to adore.

Olivia
Female 9 months
DOGS - Yes KIDS - Yes CATS - Yes
Yes, I know- stunning tabby, soft eyes, excellent cheekbones. Please try and stay focused. I'm a sweet girl who likes the finer things in life: tasty treats, peaceful vibes, a good lap that needs constant warming and humans who understand trust is earned. Once I decide you're one of my people, I'm all about quiet companionship. I'll keep you company while you read, work, binge-watch Tv or question your life choices at 2am. I'm a gentle soul with a cautious side, so I'd really love a calm home where I can settle in at my own pace. Give me patience, kindness and a few snacks, and you'll watch me blossom into the sweetest, most loyal little shadow. I get on great with other felines and would love an equally calm friend to cuddle with and judge you from a distance. I am the true companion you're looking for.

Bernadette and Beverly
Female 10 months
DOGS - Yes KIDS - Yes CATS - Yes
Sensational Sisters here. Professional lap loungers, bedtime companions and quite possibly the most beautiful creatures you've ever laid eyes on. We know, we know - it must be overwhelming to witness this level of elegance up close. We glide. We float. We drift into rooms like furry little supermodels on a Paris runway. Delicate? Absolutely. Graceful? Naturally. Stunning knockouts? We try to stay humble about it, but yes. Our specialty is making a home feel instantly calmer simply by existing in it. We are affectionate without being chaotic, cuddly without being clingy and sophisticated without being snobs. Truly a rare combination. We would like a home where we can continue our important work of being two elegant little shadows to adore you gently and nap beside you beautifully.

Tic & Tac
Male 1 yr old
DOGS - Yes KIDS - Yes CATS - No
We're double the cats, double the personality. Tic is confident, curious and a total "Dude Bro" - he thinks he's so macho…until you pet him! He melts instantly. He studies the other cats, copies their moves and will carry springs around like trophies. Also, he definitely knows what you do and don't want him to do. Me, Tac, am the yin to Tic's yan. I'm the shy, sweet and world-class baby. I love butt scratches and will gently head- bonk your hand for more. I've come far in learning to trust humans - now, I'm your couch buddy for life. To summarise our dynamic, Tac watches the game with you. Tis tries to play in it. Adopt us for the perfect mix of cuddle and chaos.

Winter
Female 1.5yrs
DOGS - Maybe KIDS - Maybe CATS - Maybe
I'm as pretty as I sound. No, I will not immediately fall into your arms. I like to keep a bit of mystery. I'm shy at first, but don't mistake that for anything other than excellent judgement. The cat lounge is a full-on circus, and while I tolerate my roommates, I'm more of a "quiet lounge, soft blanket, personal human" kind of girl. I'll give some spice if my boundaries are crossed. My sweet side is starting to break through as I've been coming out my shell. I like affection, I like calm, and I love knowing my space is safe. I've been spotted playing with wand toys, but then I remember I'm on security duty and retreat to my shelf to super- vise. I'm a girl who knows what she likes - and what I like is peace, comfort and a human to call my own. I'm waiting to blossom with you?

BlackJack
Male 6 months
DOGS - Yes KIDS - Yes CATS - Yes
Well well well..looks like you've just been dealt a winning hand. Name's BlackJack - and trust me, having me in your life? That's just good luck. I'm your classic gorgeous panther - sleek, shiny and just a little bit mysterious. (in a 'where did he go-oh he’s behind you' kinda way). I'm still a young guy, which means I come with a healthy dose of zoomies, acrobatics and expert- level wand toy annihilation. If it moves, I'm on it. If it doesn't move…I might still be o it, just in case. That said, I'm not all chaos - I've got a chill side too. I like a good lounge, a cozy lap (which I dabble in) and some quality downtime after I've entertained you. However, my independent streak is noticeable - I'm not clingy, I've got thigs to do, places to see-but I'd do really well with a feline buddy to hang out with. All in all, I'm a great kitten who's on track to be an exceptional cat. Want to get lucky?

Sassy and Skittles
DOGS - Maybe KIDS - Maybe CATS - Yes
Two sweet sisters desperate for our happily ever after! Hi, I'm Sassy - the gentle outgoing one, a certified love muffin and professional snuggle bug. I'll greet you with my soft, chirpy meows and melt into your arms like butter. I'm affectionate and just a sturdy ball of floof who loves being loved. My sister, Skittles, is the quieter soul. She's cautious and shy, the kind of girl who believes in taking things slow. Camera's? Nope. Sudden Movements? Double nope. But if she's lounging and you gently reach out, she'll let you give her soft pets - and that's when you'll see the start of her gentle heart shining through Skittles is already coming out of her shell more each day and in a calm, patient home, she's sure to blossom further.

Miley
Female 10 months
DOGS - No KIDS - No CATS - Yes
If you're lucky you will see me delicately trying to hide in the cat lounge as I am still quite shy and timid. I need to trust my human and then I will open up and let you pet me. Once you glide your hand over me, you will see I am one of the softest kitties you will ever have the luck to feel - they should have called me velvet, my fur is sooo silky smooth. Even though I am quiet, I have been known to chase a feather on a stick or push a spring around. This play time will bring us closer together. I am still young so we can have a lifetime together - I am so worthy of your time and patience.

Smokie and Chynna
Male and Female 2.5 yrs
DOGS - Yes KIDS - No CATS - Yes
We're a pair of stunning lookers with the kind of lush coats you'll want to sink your fingers into (and yes, we approve...most of the time). Life for us is all about lounging in style, soaking up cuddles and keeping things laid-back. Smokie here - I'm the chill one. Recently, I found out I have asthma, but don't worry - the amazing humans are training me to use an inhaler like a pro. I'm smart, gentle and ready for love. My sassier sibling is Chynna. She meows for attention and purrs like crazy when she gets it…but when she's had enough? She'll politely (or not-so politely) let you know. A gals' gotta have boundaries! We're a bonded pair and the perfect mix of snuggles, personality and glam.
