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.

Penny & Hazel
Female 3 yrs 3 months
IN FOSTER
DOGS - Maybe KIDS - Yes CATS - Yes
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.

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.

Sassy and Skittles
Female 3.5 yrs
DOGS - Maybe KIDS - Maybe CATS - Yes
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?

Derby
Male 8 yrs
DOGS - Yes KIDS - Yes CATS - Maybe
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. Even though I am FIV positive and not a spring kitten anymore, 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.

Hera
Female 10yrs
DOGS - Maybe KIDS - Yes CATS - Yes
I'm an incredibly sweet girl who adores snuggling up on the couch with my royal subjects. I am especially fond of chin scratches and gentle rubs on the top of my head; that’s guaranteed entry to my heart! When the mood strikes, I can be quite the conversationalist and have been known to 'chirp'. I am also happy to simply relax beside you and enjoy your company. However, I do bark' at you if there's behavior I don't condone. I would prefer to be the only feline in your kingdom, but I may allow peaceful dog that keeps their paw to themselves. Don't let my age deter you - I was recently given an excellent bill of health from the vet, who were shocked at how my teeth almost sparkle. Now, darling, could you be my knight in shining amour and rescue me from a life of reproduction and out of this foster home…. even though it's the best I've had. I'm sure your home can be the palace I need.

Lake & Nicola
Male and Female 4 yrs old.
DOGS - Maybe KIDS - Older CATS - No
BONDED WITH Each other
Hi! I'm Lake. I used to live at Catelowna but I really struggled at the café. I don't pick up on social queues from the other cats or understand their body language, so I was often picked on and bullied. Nicola though was never bothered that I can't 'speak cat'. She loves me the way I am despite it. While she accepts my goofy love, she's still learning how to accept it from humans, but she's come such a long way! She LOVES butt scratches and to have her tail gently pulled. Nicola doesn't meow, she honks and whistles to get your attention, especially if you're late to dinner! I'm much more fond of people, and I'm just bursting at the seems to give you all of my love. I like to be touched in every kind of way, head scratches, bum pats, belly rubs, you name it! As long as I can sit in your lap with Nicola close by, I'm happy. We were found together, huddled on Lake Nicola in freezing temperatures. I was protecting Nicola from the cold, now she makes me feel like I belong. We’re hoping to find a forever homewhere we can both feel that way.
