👑The only thing better than one house panther is two, so let's meet our favourite double the trouble and double the love duo!!! Estee and Lauder were originally rescued by someone in Saudi Arabia who brought them to Canada. Sadly they were adopted out through another rescue and returned when their owner had family matters to deal with.

🖤Estee (3 year old female , black with white chest patch) - The loveliest lady indeed , Estee is sweet as pie and always leaves you wanting more !! Her stunning green eyes are always sparkling with curiosity , she loves greeting newcomers and making friends. She is very social and loves attention and pets !! She loves snuggling with her brother in her downtime.

🖤Lauder (3 year old all black male) - A bit more reserved compared to his sister , he spends his days napping in a secure cubby but always comes flying when the feathered wand toys are out!! His playful side is a joy to behold, playtime is when Lauder feels the most comfortable. He isn't quite comfortable with being pet all the time , but once he knows you he will approach you with a look on his face that just screams , "Hey! Wanna Play?" .

🐾This duo is so fun and loving at the same time , they'd make wonderful companions in a calm adult only home. Health wise they need to be on a urinary diet long term, and are sensitive to poultry otherwise they are both healthy ! They have had great litterbox habits during their time with us, and can't wait to find a permanent home of their own that matches their zest for life and love of a good time !!

💚Come meet Estee and Lauder on Saturday and Sunday from 12-2pm.

🐾He's swinging for a furrever home, and we're hoping he'll land a home run !!! Guerrero Jr has the bases loaded and he's going to leave everything on the field. This handsome shy boy has our hearts already , and we're looking for the perfect patient home of his dreams !!!

🏡Guerrero Jr is estimated to be about 5 years old and originally came to us as a stray in need of medical attention. Now he's all sorted out with a clean bill of health, he's ready to start making some new friends and show you his soft side !! Guerrero Jr is shy towards humans , he is fine with us being close to him and has started to allow some gentle pets. He does typically like to get to know you a bit before he decides you're cool, so relationship building is key with this fella.

⚾️He loves other cats and would be happy to have a kitty friend in his future home. He doesn't like loud noises and as a result would be best suited for an adult only home with no children. He would love a family that's willing to accept his shy side and work with him while he continues to build his confidence , from the comfort of a loving home !!

💙Guerrero Jr has made great progress during his time with us , although he is still a shy kitty. But as we always say , shy kitties need love and deserve a chance too !! Shy cats are often the ones that offer the most rewarding form of companionship when given the opportunity. Come meet Guerrero Jr on Saturday and Sunday from 12-2pm !!

✨Our sweet and spunky lady Pollywog has been adopted !!!! After spending 7 months at Katie's Place , her time finally came and we couldn't be more excited. Pollywog was originally from Northern BC , found living under a shed with her mom and sister. She's come a long way from being the shy kitty she once was , and we know she's ready to take things to the next level in her new home.

✨Handsome man Borscht found his furrever home , and were so pumped !!! This handsome lad was surrendered to us due to innapropriate peeing , likely due to the host of medical issues he was living with. A lot of times this behaviour can be corrected with a stress free quiet home , and we saw good success with his litterbox habits during his time at KP. A big thankyou to his family for taking a chance on a kitty in need , and giving him the purrfect home for his needs.

✨Proton arrived at Katie's Place two months ago when her owner passed away. Scares and confused , she originally presented as feral. Slowly the walls melted down and she revealed herself to be the sweetest and most down to Earth love bug !!! We are so excited she will get to share that side of her in her new home. A big thankyou to her new family for choosing adoption and giving a kitty in need a second chance at furrever.

🧡The adoption we've been waiting 2 whole years for , we are so incredibly thrilled to announce that our long term resident Bella has been adopted !!! Bella was surrendered after her owner sadly passed away. For a cat who doesn't like shenanigans or other cats , the shelter wasn't exactly the best place for her to thrive. But she was a volunteer favourite nontheless!!! We loved Bella and all her quirks , and we are so pleased to hear that she has taken down her walls and melted into the joys and love of her own furrever home.

✨Always hard to see a long timer go, but we truly are over the moon for Bella.

Happy Trails Bella, Katie's Place loves you 🏡❤️

🏡New year , new cats , and new stories to boot...
Gather around KP friends and family , it's time to tell the tale of Kate and Harry.

"Hi everyone , our names are Kate and Harry. Long , long ago (back in 2018) we were bright eyed and bushy tailed kittens with our whole lives ahead of us !! Someone came to our shelter looking to adopt kittens , and not to brag but they were star struck by us !! We were adopted and brought home in no time. Life was good for a few years... We had endless toys , cat trees, lots of treats !! We enjoyed a quiet life with lots of attention and never wanted for anything. As we got older , things started to change. Less toys , less attention. We didn't know why things were different , but we had each other so we were okay !! One day a new animal came home , our parents said he was something called a "herding dog". We tried to be friends with him but day after day , any time our paws touched the ground that little puppy was chasing us. Apparently it's in his genes and he wants us to be his own sheep ... But we didn't like this one bit , so we started to hide up high or in cubbies. After awhile our parents said something had to change. We were hopeful this meant that new guy would find a different home !! We didn't know this actually meant we were the ones who would be going to a shelter , and now here we are. To say that we are crushed would be an understatement. The shelter people have been very nice and they tell us this happens a lot , that the cats always lose. We didn't do anything wrong and don't understand why we lost our home. Things could be worst though , we have a roof over our head and comfy beds to cuddle in, and most importantly we still have each other!! If you visit us , we may be tucked into the back corner of our safe space ... We're not trying to be antisocial , we're just overwhelmed and feeling discouraged. We promise that we are both very nice kitties, and if someone gives us a chance then we swear to be the best behaved cats you've ever met. We'd love a quiet home , like the one we had once upon a time ... No kids preferred , and NO herding dogs. We hope someone is out there for us.... We may not be kittens anymore , but we still have a lot of love to give. "

Thanks for listening ,

xoxo
- Kate and Harry

🐾Starting the weekend adoptions off strong , our beloved lady Piri has been adopted !!! Piri has been with us about 2 years and was adopted and returned to us multiple times during that period. Due to her medical needs and habit of peeing on soft items, this made Piri a bit of a hard placement despite her loving personality. We are so happy that the right someone finally gave her the chance she needed to live happily ever after !!!

Happy Trails Piri, Katie's Place loves you 🏡❤️

✨You know we love a good senior adoption story , and Laird of the Glen finding his furrever is no exception !!! The sweetest boy you'd ever meet , he was a 10/10 nursing patient when he came to us with a severe wound from a predator. We are so happy and grateful that his kind new family is giving a second chance to a senior kitty in need. We're going to miss our sweet boy but know he's in for the best life ever !!

Happy Trails Laird of the Glen ,
Katie's Place loves you ❤️🏡
