Story
Meet Carolina Reaper and Ghost Pepper! This bonded pair came into our care after embarking on a journey from Williams Lake down to Vancouver in hopes of finding their forever family. Ghost and Carolina have made some progress in terms of their confidence levels and socialization skills, but they are seeking someone who can help them develop these even further. They take a little while to become familiar with new humans and establish trust, but it is something they are actively working on :) Their foster mom says they are both food motivated and love playing with their wand toy! These kitties deserve a kind and patient person who will help them find their confidence and thrive in their new home. Ghost and Carolina will be the most comfortable and successful in a quiet home without children. Are you ready to give them a chance? We are currently in foster so please apply for us online!cats:https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/cat-pre-adoption-questionnaire/The shelters visiting hours are:Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: 12-5Thursday, Public Holidays: closedSaturday, Sunday: 12-4 Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Black Weight: 2.58 Age: 0yrs 5mths 2wks

Story
Meet sweet and cuddly Puccina! While she may be initially shy, she will quickly warm up to you to show off her tummy for some sweet belly rubs and treats. This charming girl loves her routine and is a total foodie enjoying a nice duck diet to control her IBD. Second to food and belly rubs her third favourite thing is watching the birds outside. Even though she is 3 years old she is still a fan of interactive toys with feathers making play time 'hunting' time and loves scratching at her cat tree to keep her manicure perfect. Puccina's funny personality and purring motor make her the perfect reading companion when cozied up in bed.

Story
Meet Pippen! This silly girl loves to roll around and play. She has a crunchy meow and a waggly tail. She is still a bit too nervous to sit on a lap but she LOVES being pet and will sometimes sleep on your bed. Merry and Pippen are bonded sisters and must be adopted as a pair. They take comfort from and look out for each other. They love to play and chase each other and are very cute to watch. Both cats are very nervous and startle easily, especially around strangers. They need a calm environment with no other pets or children. Under the care of a patient and experienced cat caregiver, they will slowly continue to gain confidence, but will probably always be on the skittish side. This duo is playful, friendly, and has excellent cat-manners. They are adorable, sweet, and loving companions. Must adopt with Merry.

Meet Lemon, Blueberry and French Toast; the breakfast kittens.These 3 boys found their way into the shelter when the owner was no longer able to care for them. They were a little shy at first, but have grown so confident in their short time with us. They are affectionate, outgoing and love to be fussed over. Due to their difficult start in life, they would prefer a home without any small children but would love a home with other cats, animals and older children in the home. They love to play with toys and will continue to grow comfortable with continued play therapy in their new homes.Are you looking for a new feline friend? Stop by the West Vancouver shelter today between 12pm-3pm to meet them! Primary Color: Black Weight: 3 Age: 0yrs 4mths 1wks
