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.

    DOGS - No KIDS - Maybe CATS - No

    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.

  • 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?

  • Tab & Pepper

    Male 11months

    DOGS - Maybe KIDS - Yes CATS - Yes

    Please don't be alarmed by our size. We are, in fact, internally, just two tiny mice in very large, fluffy bodies.  We're brothers, best friends and a bonded duo. At only a year old, we're already impressively big boys - but we're calm, laid back and exceptionally chill. Professional loungers, if you will. We take our relaxation very seriously, with occasional breaks for affection - because we are very into love and scritches. The more, the better. We can be a little shy at first, but give us a moment and you'll discover two of the sweetest, softest souls around. No chaos here - just quiet companionship, warm cuddles and a whole lot of gentle.  If you home is missing a pair of over-sized, low-key cuddle experts..we're ready when you are.     

  • 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?

  • Jinx

    Female 2 yrs

    DOGS - Yes KIDS -  Yes CATS - Yes

    Despite the name, I promise I'm nothing but good luck.  I'm a calm, very sweet, serene little lady who prefers the finer things in life: quiet rooms, gentle pets and peaceful company.  Think less choase, more zen  cat energy.  I've already done my time in the mom department (my little ones were at Catelowna last year - yes, I'm very proud). Now that  they're off living their best life, I'm ready to enjoy a little me time. My dream home? Quiet, cozy and full of kind humans who appreciate a soft, affectionate companion.  If you're looking for a gentle angel of a cat to bring calm and sweetness into your home, I might just be your girl.         

  • 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 rms like butter. I'm affectionate and just a sturdy ball of floof who loves being loved.  My sister, Skittles, is the quiter 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.
