My story

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

Meet Stella!

Stella is looking for a home to call her own that can aid her in being the healthiest she can be. She is quite overweight and will need portion control, and a weight loss diet in her new home until she gets to a manageable weight again, along with some exercise. She is an indoor only cat, and wants to stay that way so will need some enticement to get her activity levels up - a fun scratch post, food puzzles, etc.

This big princess would love to be doted on in her retirement. She has previously lived in a home with children and other cats, and it just wasn't the life she wanted. Stella would very much like to be the one and only in her new home, and have all the attention on her.

***

Keep your new family member safe and consider investing in a catio or "cat-proofing" your balcony/deck. Leash-training, or letting your cat tag along in a pet backpack, are other safe options. Alternatively, you can bring the outside in with strategically placed bird-feeders and pollinator plants!

Thank you for your interest in adopting! Do you think you could be Stella's person? Apply today!

TIP: We strongly suggest all applicants to write a little bit about themselves when prompted. Leaving these questions empty inhibits our ability to make the best match possible, and drastically effects the likelihood of receiving a call back.

The Victoria Center is open for in-person adoption viewings Tuesday through Sunday, 12pm to 4pm, staff and animal well-being permitting!

Some animals may not be available for public viewing due to limited shelter space, medical and behavioral reasons, or other contributing factors. Kittens are not available for viewing as they are often in foster homes for health & safety reasons.

Due to the high number of applications, we will ONLY be contacting select individuals to further review their interest. If you do not hear back within a week, it's likely the animal has already found a forever home. Phone inquires regarding the status of your application cannot always be prioritized.

Animals cannot be held for potential adopters for more than 24 hours without a legitimate reason.

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.

1. Freedom from hunger and thirst

2. Freedom from pain, injury, and disease

3. Freedom from distress

4. Freedom from discomfort

5. Freedom to express behaviours that promote well-being.
