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.

I know what you're thinking "a tuxedo with a moustache? Surely she's some kind of aristocrat." And honestly, you're not wrong. I'm a sweet, calm lady with luxurious long fur, impeccable fashion sense, and a face that looks like I should be solving mysteries or running a tiny café in Paris. Now, I'll let you in on a secret: I'm not the type to throw myself into your arms on day one. I prefer to take my time getting to know my humans. Trust is important after all. A lady has standards. But once you've earned my trust? Oh, the fun begins. Suddenly you'll discover that beneath the sophisticated exterior is a playful, affectionate girl who loves attention. I'll come over for pets, gently bump my head into you and remind you that it's time for cuddles. I'm the perfect companion. So, if you're looking for a gorgeous, gentle companion with a heart of gold, I may just be the girl for you.

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.

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 🐾🍊

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.

Sassy and Skittles
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?

So, if you've always dreamed of sharing your home with two tiny panthers who happen to be professional snugglers, we might just be your girls. Two is better than one - it's science.

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?

Yup - I'm ginger and before we get started, yes…I am very ginger, like, max orange. You may have heard the rumours about orange cats and our….. limited supply of brain cells. Well, Id like to formally dispute that. I actually have a few extra. I pick up cues quickly, I'm clever, curious and very much aware of what's going on around me. Now, whether I choose to use that intelligence responsibly is another matter. I'm a high energy little dynamo who is always on the go. There's simply too much to do! But the fine folks at Catelowna are teaching me an important life lesson - laps are fun too! And they are right! I am absolutely loving settling down on a lap for a good nap. I'm also the kind of guy that will get attached to my hooman fast. I am sure to greet you every single time you come home. If you're looking for a smart, chatty, quirky, fun and affectionate high energy ginger boy who can go full speed to professional lap loaf - I'm your guy.
