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.

A big cat with an even bigger personality, that's me. If you're doing something, I need to know about it. I'm your curious shadow, always right there, supervising your every move. And when I'm not on patrol? I'm in your arms, soaking up all the cuddles I can get. I'm a sweet, playful guy who can't resist a wand toy, string or basically anything that moves. Watching me prowl the lounge, you might think I'm all business - but really, I just like to be in charge and dominate other cats. Dogs? I Love dogs. If you have a playful pup, we'll probably be besties. I am your ultimate companion, your big lion-hearted buddy.

Hello, peasants. Before we proceed any further, I'd like to clarify something. This is not a democracy. I am not simply a cat. I am a princess. Possibly Royalty. Potentially descended from a long line of Persian nobility. The evidence is my breathtaking beauty, luxurious coat, and the fact that I carry myself as though I own several vacation properties. I expect admiration. Fortunately, providing admiration is one of the easiest jobs a human can have. Now, there is one important condition for employment. I do not share. Not my kingdom. Not my castle, not my favorite napping spots. And certainly not my humans. My boundaries are quite clear to me, even if nobody else can see them. I have no interest in roommates and would much prefer to be the sole ruler of the estate, where I can receive the level of devotion I deserve. In return you will have the privilege of sharing your home with an absolutely stunning cat. Applications for loyal human attendants are now being accepted.

Hello, Darling. I need to prepare you - you are going to fall in love with me immediately. It happens all the time. I have the most unusual, silky-soft coat you've ever touched, the kind that makes people stop mid-pet and say "wait. who IS this cat?" I am delicate, exotic and undeniably gorgeous. The sort of cat that looks like she belongs draped across a velvet chaise lounge in an expensive mansion. And then I take three steps and wobble a little. Surprise! Nobody knows exactly why. Maybe I have a tiny touch of cerebellar hypoplasia. Maybe I simply like to keep things interesting. Whatever the reason, my adorable little wobble has never stopped me from doing anything important. I adore being near people and when I spot you, I'll drop, roll and wiggle around. I become an irresistible furry croissant. I enjoy being a part of whatever you're doing. But no airs or graces. No complicated demands. An exotic masterpiece but behaves like your best friend - come get me!

Yes, I'm like the flower - small, pretty, delicate-looking. But don't let the petite package fool you - I run a very tight operation around here. I don't need to hiss, swat or make a scene. I simply look at other cats, and somehow they understand that I am management. Otherwise, I'm busy enjoying my favourite activities; soaking up sunshine in a window, rubbing against guests so they know how lucky they are to be summoned for pets, and collecting as many cuddles as possible. I adore humans; I love their gentle companionship, their laps, how they treat me like the delicate flower I am. I may be small but my heart is huge, my cuddles top tier and my kitten-hood is still playfully intact. So, what do you say? Ready to bring home a beautiful flower with the confidence of a CEO? Excellent, I'll have my people call your people.

Before we begin, I'd like to clarify something. People keep calling me a "Velcro cat." I find this deeply offensive. Velcro occasionally let’s go. I do not. If you adopt me, your personal space will become our personal space. If you're sitting down, I will be on your lap. If you're lying down, I will be on your chest. If you're working, reading, watching TV or attempting to use the bathroom in peace, I will be nearby to ensure you don't accidentally suffer from a dangerous lack of cat. Some cats play hard to get. I play hard to escape. When I'm not conducting cuddle surveillance, I enjoy toys. I have the confidence of a cat who knows she's adorable and the energy to make sure everyone else know it too. I'm friendly, outgoing and convinced every visitor is just a friend I haven't climbed yet. I'm not looking for a house. I'm looking for a home and a lap.

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 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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
