Dove is currently residing at Total Pet. Go say hello!

FOR ADOPTION: DOVE is a beautiful approximately 1.5 year old female that comes to us from a well know abandoned home in the Smithers area. Kind locals were able to take in the bolder and more confident cats from this large group and NWAS took in the remaining cats once we had room. Dove was one of the most timid and reserved of the group when she arrived at the shelter and she is still a fairly quiet and shy girl. Despite her fear, Dove has always been gentle and kind. We’ve put her on a calming supplement that has helped her relax into her life at the shelter and Dove is now a girl that appreciates gentle head scratches and soft cozy blankets. She is looking for a quiet, mature family that will be able to give her the patience and understanding she needs to blossom into her full self. Dove would do very well with a confident and affectionate feline friend to help show her the ropes in her new environment. Dove has had very limited interactions with dogs so far. She could learn to live with a calm dog that is indifferent towards cats but she would be just as happy without them in her life. Due to Dove’s timid nature she is looking for an indoor only home. She is spayed, vaccinated and up to date on parasite control. If you’ve been looking for a shy girl to bring out of her shell, apply today at www.NWAS.ca for a chance to meet DOVE.

Meet Milo! Four-year-old neutered male tuxedo cat, who identifies as a dog. He loves to be outside and will follow you on walks. He enjoys being held, pet, and cuddled (for short periods); before he’s off on a new adventure.
He’s good with other cats, loves dogs (once properly acquainted), and kids. Full of fun and curiosity, he’s a great catch. 250-643-9446 text/call anytime.

Vestest is currently residing at Total Pet. Go say hello and get some snuggles!

FOR ADOPTION: VESTEST is an adorable 3 year old male looking for his forever family. This fella comes from a very loving home but has unfortunately become displaced (along with two other cats) due lack of pet friendly housing. Vestest is a sweet boy but he is cautious. It takes him a little bit of time to warm up to new environments and people but once he knows you he is an affectionate and friendly fellow. Vestest would do best in a home aged 7+ where there is a little more consistency in behaviour Vs the uncertainty that comes with younger children. Vestest has happily lived with two other cats his entire life and he could adjust to a home with other cats in the future. He takes time to warm up to new friends but once he knows them he is friendly. Vestest has had very little exposure towards dogs and is quite nervous of them at this time. If he were to live with a dog they would need to be calm and uninterested in cats. Vestest has been indoor only his entire life and we would like to see him continue in that environment or with a secured catio. He is neutered, vaccinated and up to date on parasite control. If you’ve been looking for a loyal companion apply today at www.NWAS.ca for a chance to meet VESTEST

APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED

FOR ADOPTION: WINNIFRED is a super sweet 2 year old female Boxer that is looking for a loving forever family. Winnifred is a kind and gentle girl that gets along well with people of all ages. She could very happily be a family dog, live with a couple or be the best friend to a single person. She loves a good cuddle, can get some rowdy playful energy, and is a fun companion while out for walks. Her energy level is more medium than high. She would do well on moderate hikes and family walks but she’s not up for high impact spots like jogging or biking. Winnie has been living in a foster home with cats, other large dogs, horses and goats. She’s doing fantastically with everyone except the goats. Winnie just doesn’t mesh well with the goats style of play. She prefers to chill with her friends. Her foster family has said she is 100% trustworthy with the cats and does very well just chilling with their large calm dogs. She’s been non reactive to the horses. Overall she does prefer the company of humans to that of the other animals but she’s happy to share attention. Winnie does have some food intolerances that cause digestive upset so she will need a home committed to keeping her on a salmon based diet. Winnifred does need a little work on her recall before she would be a good off leash companion but her foster family is actively working on that now. She is clean and non destructive both inside and when alone outside in a secure pen. Winnifred is spayed, vaccines and up to date on parasite control. If you’ve been looking for a new buddy that is just as happy to cuddle as she is to adventure apply today at www.NWAS.ca for a chance to meet WINNIFRED

We’ve found a couple thank you everyone

The Cats of NWAS have asked us to put out a plea. Their well loved and much used tunnel is nearing the end of its lifespan (let’s be honest we should have let it go awhile ago but they love it too much). They are hoping one of our followers may have one they would be willing to donate so they can keep their cat parties rolling. Shoot us a message or comment below if you could hook the cats up with a new to them tunnel.ne

So proud of our Ninja Turtle pups ! They had so much fun at the adoption event at Total Pet on June 21st. Everyone they met, man, woman , child or dog was a friend. They visited with more people than they've seen in their lives, played, napped and visited again. For 14 week old pups who have only experienced a foster home and shelter life Rafael, Michaelangelo and Leonardo were amazingly social and confident.
Not to be outdone, kittens Hunter, Ash, Oreo and Christie also entertained their visitors with playful antics and cuddles.
Thank you to Total Pet for helping us with this event and for the chews !
Best of all, several applications were filled out and hopefully some of our young ones will soon be bringing joy to new families.
