Big Chowder is the top cat in town-don’t let that soft purr fool you. He runs things with precision and loyalty. Born in the tough streets, Chowder’s earned respect the hard way. Feed him on time, scratch his ears when he asks, and always know who’s boss. Chowder would prefer to live without other felines.

He’s tough but loyal to those who prove themselves. Curl up with him, and you’ll see a softer side 🐾-but remember, Big Chowder always calls the shots. 👑

If you're interested in this handsome guy please fill out an application below:

Meet Joe! Are you looking for someone who loves love, long walks on the beach, and stares lovingly into your eyes.

While we know that the term Gentle Giant is a cliche, Joe is exactly that. He just wants to telepathically tell you how much he loves you and be at your side at all times.

Joe would thrive with a active guardian that enjoys spending time with him both indoors and outdoors. He loves to play in the yard and go on walks. Joe loves to play with his toys and will toss them up in the air to show you just how amazing his stuffys are. He will need some patience and positive reinforcement initially so he gets used to keeping all four paws on the ground and throwing himself at you feet for affection. He has a tendency to get quite excited when he hasn’t seen you for a few moments. Joe is very strong on walks so definitely a sturdy person is needed. With some guidance and patience he will understand you love him regardless.

If Joe sounds like the right fit for your family, please fill in an application below!

Paul Walker is looking for a home that will be patient with him as he continues to learn. He is still a puppy and is constantly learning how the world works. Paul Walker will need a home that can provide him with lots of exercise and enrichment.

Meet Danny, the tri-paw’d cat!

After being discovered by a good samaritan in their front yard unable to walk, Danny was brought into care and immediately whisked off to the vet for treatment. He is now on the road to recovery and learning how to get around on three paws, but he doesn’t let that dampen his spirit!

Danny is a social boy who loves people, chin scratches, and curling up on his cozy bed. He is playful, curious, enjoys batting his toys around the room, and is always up for a good snuggle. While we don’t know his history, Danny does not like dogs and has been hesitant with meeting other cats, but he absolutely adores his human friends and would make a wonderful companion.

If you would like to give Danny the wonderful fur-ever home he deserves, please submit an application to the Shuswap branch through the link below!

**Please note that local applicants will be prioritized at this time for foster-to-adopt due to Danny’s local recheck appointments.

Meet Kallie!

This lovely tabby girl loves her humans and adores attention and pets. She enjoys being brushed and groomed, making her the perfect companion for anyone who loves to pamper their pets.

She loves to keep you company snuggled up on the desk while you work and will happily purr the day away from her perch. Once a doting mother, Kallie is ready to find a forever home of her own without other animals as she would prefer to soak up all the attention for herself.

If you’re looking for a friendly, loving, and absolutely charming new friend, Kallie is the purrfect match for you! Please fill out a pre-adoption application and submit it to the Shuswap branch through the link below!

Meet Inky, a senstive soul who adores being around people. Inky came into our care when he was found on someones porch. He was curled up on the doormat and refused to leave. Because Inky loves people so much we aren’t suprised at all.
Inky would make a great companion for someone quiet who is looking for a best friend.
While Inky waits for a neuter appointment, he is available to meet in the centre. We are prioritising local homes that would be able to foster Inky until he is neutered and hopefully reduce his worries about being in the centre.

If you are interested in adopting Inky, please submit a pre-adoption application to the Shuswap branch through the link below!

Meet Suki! This sweet girl came to the shelter with her two siblings and is the most shy of the group. She loves to cuddle up to her people and get as much one-on-one attention as she can.

She enjoys playing in the snow but is also the first of her siblings to go inside after playtime to curl up in her blankets.

Suki is looking for a home that will be patient with her as she continues to learn. She is still a puppy and is constantly learning how the world works. Suki will need a home that can provide her with lots of exercise and enrichment.

Meet Marigold!

Marigold was surrendered to the shelter through no fault of her own and is on the lookout for her forever family! Although she can be a little shy at first, Marigold loves to be near her people and be pet. She likes her cozy hidey-holes, soft beds, doesn’t mind being brushed, and would make a wonderful companion for a quiet home. This lovely lady would do best with no other animals where she can be the star of the show.

If you are interested in adopting Marigold, please submit a pre-adoption application to the Shuswap branch through the link below!
