My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Johnny is looking for a patient, understanding and experienced cat owner who can provide him with the care and support he needs to settle in to a new home and here are a few suggestions to help Johnny transition and let his true personality shine

1. Quiet and safe space: set up a designated area in your home where Johnny can feel secure and have some privacy.
2. Slow introduction: allow Johnny to acclimate at his own pace. Give him time to explore his new surroundings gradually. Avoid overwhelming him with too many new experiences or interactions all at once.
3. Patient and understanding: Johnny may initially be hesitant or fearful. Be patient and allow him to approach you on his owns terms. Avoid forcing interactions and give him space when needed.
4. Establish a routine: Cats thrive on routine, and having a consistent schedule can help him feel more secure and settled.
5. Interactive playtime. Use toys that stimulate his natural instincts.This will help build his confidence and create positive associations with you and his new environment.
6. Positive reinforcement: Use treats, praise and gentle strokes to reward Johnny for positive behaviour and interactions. This will help him to associate positive experiences with you and build trust over time.

Johnny was used to living with a single adult, no children or any other pets for this boy. He spent 9 months of his life being bullied by other cats in his previous home. No outdoor access, he's lived indoors only. Johnny has been making very positive progress and has been coming around great as staff and volunteers continue working with him. He is slowly showing his true colours of being loving and gentle. We know the right home that will continue to make progress with him is out there for him, could that be you?

    The BC SPCA Charter is the foundation that guides the work we do:

    Whereas:

    The world is inhabited by many species sharing a common ecosystem of air, earth, and water. We recognize and value our interconnectedness with all animals.

    Therefore:

    The BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for the animals of the world we share.



    We pledge our energies to inspire and mobilize society to create a world in which all animals, who depend on humans for their well-being, experience, as a minimum, five essential freedoms:



    1. Freedom from hunger and thirst

    2. Freedom from pain, injury, and disease
