💗 We wanted to share a post from one of our kitties in West Vancouver who is in need of a forever home. If you know someone who is interested in this enchanting girl, please reach out to the BC SPCA West Vancouver for more information 🐾
Meet Pekoe – the purrfect blend of sass and sweetness!
Pekoe is a stunning, long-haired beauty with a big personality. She loves affection on her terms — purring during brushing sessions and slipping under the covers at night for snuggles. Bird-watching is her favorite pastime, and she’ll happily follow you around like a little shadow.
Pekoe needs a calm, adult-only home where she can settle in at her own pace. She may be shy at first and swat (without nails) if overwhelmed, but once she trusts you, she’s a loyal and loving companion.
😺 Would you like to meet Pekoe or learn more about her, call the BCSPCA West Vancouver at 604-922-4622!

Feeding wildlife might seem like a good idea, but is it? 🤔 When you feed wild animals, you may harm the animals you intend to help! How?
⚠️ Human-sourced food may lack the nutrients wild animals need which can lead to malnutrition, bone deformation, and even death.
⚠️ When people feed wildlife, wild animals may become habituated, increasing the chances of negative human-wildlife encounters.
Learn why wildlife feeding is not a good idea!
