My name is Pekoe!

Meet Pekoe!

This girl has had some big changes in her life in the last few weeks, and is taking some time to settle in to her new space. Pekoe came to us when her previous guardian sadly had to go over seas for an extended period of time.

Sweet Pekoe is a special case, which to be honest is one of our favourites here at the West Van SPCA. Pekoe is a big girl with an even bigger personality, and she's not afraid to show it. She seems to pick favourites with her humans, some can do a lot more touch and pets than others. If Pekoe does not want to be touched, she will be honest with a grumble or a swat to tell you "no thanks!". When Pekoe likes you, she will weave around your legs purring and rubbing her chin on your feet and legs. We know that Pekoe will NOT tolerate being picked up and held, but she will stare at you lovingly from the other side of the couch.

Pekoe has been described by many as grumpy, but we see something special in her. Sure, she isn't a cuddle bug that crawls all over you, but she is funny and sweet in her own ways. Pekoe is considered "Special Needs" because she has previously had pancreatitis and now needs a low fat diet to stop that from flaring up. This will also help with her weight loss journey!

As someone who works with Pekoe, I love going in to see her in the morning. I can usually see her fluffy toes sticking out from her sleeping spot, and she will spring out of hiding to come say hi to me. She absolutely loves to be baby-talked to, and will melt with compliments about how beautiful and perfect she is. Although she doesn't want me to touch her all over, she enjoys pets and trails behind me while I tidy her room.

Come see why we love this unique girl! Visits are 12pm-3pm daily (except Mondays when we're closed) OR apply online!
