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.

  • Stapler & Tennessee

    Female and Male, 4 months

    DOGS - Yes KIDS -  Yes CATS - Yes

    Yes, I live up to my name as I stick to you like you've been stapled!  Wherever my human goes, I'm right there - on the couch, by your head at bedtime or supervising daily life like a professional cuddle manager, I'm sweet, confident and basically the definition of a perfect kitten…. until playtime with Tennessee. We turn into tiny chaos gremlins zooming wildly around or wrestling anywhere we can.  Fun Fun Fun.  Tennessee might be a little nervous at first, but once he trusts you, he melts into your arms and purrs like a full-blown motorboat. We love cuddles, warm laps and playing. Together we're adorable, chaotic and impossible not to fall in love with.   

  • 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. 

  • Prince and Tigger

    IN FOSTER CARE

    Male 8 yrs

    DOGS - Maybe KIDS -  Yes CATS - No

    I know, I look as handsome and regal as my name portrays.  I may not be much of a player, but I will snuggle with you and make biscuits all day.  My bro and squire, Tigger, are the coolest kitties you could meet - you will be able to hear Tigger from a mile away as his purr is like a walking motor. He too really loves snuggles and will come running when called.  If you like chill cats, want the most unique purr around you 24/7, and want every moment brightened by dashing good looks, look no further.  We may be a little older but that just means we are seasoned and ready to go. Take us, we're yours!

  • 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 you 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. 

  • Purrenial

    Female 4 yrs

    DOGS - NO KIDS -  Maybe CATS - Yes

    Quite possibly the most stunning feline you'll ever meet - just look into my electric green eyes and feel the softness of my beautiful coat. yes, I know, I'm fabulous.  I've been here the longest and I have blossomed beyond belief.  I used to be shy and timid but with kindness and patience, I have learned humans are kinda cool - I lean in for pets now….as long as the approach is with the respect a queen like me deserves.  I've always had a soft spot for the big, gentle boys, but lately, my heart belongs to Pasha.  We snuggle often and I dote on her as if she were my own.  I dream of a serene home with a human that understands that I'm a sensitive soul.  Is that you?

  • Thunder

    Male 6 months

    DOGS - Yes KIDS -  Yes CATS - Yes

    The least Thunder-y Thunder you'll ever meet. Sure, my name sounds like I should arrive with dramatic boomes and lightning flashes…really, I'm more of a soft purr floating gently across the room. I start out a little shy (a gentleman never rushes) but give me a moment and I'll reveal my true form: loyal sidekick, cuddle connoisseur, professional follower-of-humans.  Once I trust you, I will absolutely become your shadow. Going to the kitchen? I'm coming. Bathroom? I'm there.  Closet? Let's explore it together.  I adore belly rubs, head scritches and snuggle marathons - but wave a wand toy and suddenly I'm a tiny thunderbolt of chaos.  Sound like a best friend you'd want?
