Rocket is a playful and mischievous fellow who has been waiting over 100 days for his fur-ever home at the BC SPCA Kamloops. He is a very outgoing and affectionate cat, who can also play for hours and will certainly keep his new family entertained with his antics. 🥰
Rocket was sick with an upper respiratory infection when he came into the SPCA and it took vet care and lots of love to nurse him back to health. Now he is feeling great and hopes his long wait for a family of his own will soon be over. 🐈⬛

Sassy princess Ellie is looking for her queen in a fur-ever home! This beautiful girl came to the SPCA after her previous owner sadly passed away so she is now looking for her happily ever after. She has a lot of personality and can be affectionate and friendly on her own terms. She would do best in a home without children or animals as she's a bit of a diva. She gets along best with women but can eventually learn to trust a gentleman with lots of time, a gentle hand, and maybe a little bribery.
