Meet Burton 🐾, a 4-year-old foodie looking for his forever home! 🏡 This handsome boy has a BIG appetite for life (and food 🍽️) and is ready to find a quiet place to call his own.

✨ **Burton's Favorites**:
- Eating (did we mention eating?) 😋
- Napping 🛏️
- Birdwatching 🐦
- Catnip 🌿
- Head scratches 💆‍♂️
- High places 🏔️

🚫 **Dislikes**:
- Loud noises ❌
- Dogs 🐕
- Empty bowls 🚫🍲

Burton is a loyal companion who loves morning and evening petting and playtime, balanced with some serious napping during the day. He’s a chatterbox 🗣️ and will let you know when it’s time for a refill or when he has something important to say!

He’s not a fan of lasers (why chase something you can’t catch? 🤔), but he enjoys select toys and will entertain you with his unique personality. As a bit of a night owl 🌙, he’d love his own cozy spot to sleep.

💡 Burton is very well house-trained but might need some time to warm up to new people. He’s best suited to a quiet home with no dogs and older children (8+).

Could you be the forever human Burton is dreaming of? 🐾 Apply now at **VOKRA.ca/adopt**!

Meet Coconut 🥥, the adorable kitty who knows she’s a star! 🌟 This sweet girl has a natural talent for physical comedy 🤣—watching her fetch a toy is like having a live cartoon in your home! 🎥

Coconut is playful, vocal, and full of opinions 🗣️, always making sure you know what’s on her mind. She might startle at sudden movements or unexpected noises 👀, but don’t be fooled—she’s brave and will investigate right away! 🕵️‍♀️

She loves watching TV 📺, especially if there are cats involved 🐱—we’re pretty sure she dreams of being a TV star one day. 🌟 While she’s not a lap cat, Coconut makes up for it with the loudest purr you've ever heard 🐾💖. She’s a certified biscuit-maker 🍪, loves snuggling in bed 🛏️, and adores being the center of attention 🫣.

Coconut is 1 year old and ready to thrive in a home as the only pet or with a calm kitty companion. She’s great with older kids (8+) who are gentle and love to play 🏃‍♀️.

Meet Everest! 🏔️ Naturally timid, he’s looking for an understanding home where patience is key 🕰️. Adjusting to new surroundings takes time ⏳, but the rewards are immense for the right adopter 💕.

Everest thrives in a quiet, private space (like a spare bedroom) where he can adjust at his own pace 🛏️. He enjoys his solitude, napping on his cat tree 🐱🌳 or exploring at night 🌙. His faves include Temptations treats 🍬, playing with pens 🖊️, bird watching from sunny windows 🌅, and darting through his beloved play tube 🌀.

Though he may hiss as a defensive response to sudden movements 😾, he has never scratched or bitten anyone ✋. With patience from his foster mom, he now enjoys “side lap” snuggles 💖 and is working towards full lap affection 🫶. Everest takes a small dose of anti-anxiety meds mixed into his meals 🍽️.

He needs a quiet, adult-only home 🏡, as the only pet 🐾, with a female as the main caregiver 👩‍🦰. Could you be the hero Everest is waiting for? ✨

📝 6 years old

✨ Meet Genji, the sweetest, most affectionate kitty you’ll ever find! 🐾💖 This gorgeous girl is super social and always wants to be where her humans are. She’ll greet you with her whole face and loves being curious about your daily activities. 🐱 Her favorite time? *Treat time!* 🍖 She’s a pro at treat puzzles and adores scavenger hunts around the house.

Genji thrives on attention — whether it’s snuggles, lap time, brushing, or playtime with her wand toys and tunnel. 🪶💨 She also loves her cozy beds and her trusty cat tree for scratching and birdwatching. 🌳🐦

When Genji first came to VOKRA, she was severely overweight and unable to groom herself. Thanks to a special duck diet and care, she’s made amazing progress! 🦆✨ She can groom herself now, but her weight-loss journey and skin sensitivities still need monitoring.

Genji dreams of being the *queen* of her castle — no other pets, please! 👑 She’s happiest in a quiet home where she’s the center of attention, with her humans around part of the day. 🏡💕 She’s great with older kids (8+), but no dogs or cats.

Are you ready to give this lovely lady the forever home she deserves? 🥰 Apply today at **VOKRA.ca/adopt**!

🌟 **Genji’s Needs:**
✅ Quiet home
✅ Experienced adopter
🚫 No dogs or other cats
🚫 Not OK alone for long periods
✅ OK as single pet
✅ OK with kids 8+

🌸 **Meet Violet: Your Sweet & Shy Future Best Friend!** 🌸

Violet is a 7.5-year-old kitty with a gentle soul who’s ready to find her forever home 🏡. While she may be a little timid at first, once she trusts you, her affectionate side will absolutely melt your heart 💕.

✨ **Things Violet Loves:**
🎮 Playing chase-the-wand games
💆 Being brushed (it’s her absolute favorite!)
🐾 Giving cute head bumps on her hind legs—especially at mealtime, her way of saying, “I love you!”

Violet would thrive in a **quiet, calm home** where she can feel safe and loved. She’s best suited to be your one and only pet 🐱 and would prefer no young children (8+ only, please!). She needs a patient, loving family to help her come out of her shell.

💖 If you’re ready to give Violet the life she deserves, she’ll reward you with endless love, loyalty, and companionship.

🐾 **Meet Trevor: Your New Best Friend with a Big Heart!** 🐾

Trevor is a sweet, cuddly, and wonderfully sensitive 10-year-old boy who’s ready to find his forever home! 🏡 This charming feline has a touch of diva energy (in the best way!), but his affectionate nature and quirky personality make him truly one of a kind. 💖🐱

Trevor came into foster care in March 2024 after losing his beloved mom. 💔 With time, love, and patience, he’s made an incredible transformation. Along the way, he’s shown resilience and worked through some litter box quirks. With his preferred setup and litter, he’s now a pro! 🛁✨

🍗 **What Trevor Loves:**
- Food, treats, and playtime!
- Lap time—if he had his way, he’d spend 22 hours in your lap and 2 hours playing (with you cheering him on, of course). 🐾🎉
- Other animals! He tolerates dogs like a cool “older brother” but secretly loves their company. 🐕 He even shares treats with the neighborhood cat through the screen door! 🐾🐾

At bedtime, Trevor’s favorite spot is snuggled beside his foster mom’s head, purring himself to sleep. 😻 While he startles easily and needs patience as he adjusts, once he feels safe, his big heart and endless love will shine. 🌟💞

🎯 **Trevor’s Perfect Home:**
✔ Someone who will give him plenty of attention and lap time.
✔ Patience to help him settle into his new surroundings.
✔ A home with a chill, cat-friendly dog or another laid-back pet.
✔ Someone who appreciates his quirks and adores him for the sweet, cuddly diva he is.

💌 **Ready to meet Trevor and give him the happy ending he deserves?** Apply now at **VOKRA.ca/adopt** to bring this sweet boy home! 🐾💖

Meet Brittany! 😺 She’s a little shy at first, but once she trusts you, she’s all about those treats and belly rubs! 🍽️✨ At 1.5 years old, she’s a playful and sweet girl who loves to snooze during the day 💤, but once the afternoon hits, she gets active and hungry. After sunset, she’s all playtime and purrs! 🌙🐾

Brittany has such a great personality—she just needs a patient, cat-savvy adopter who understands her need for space. She loves her cozy, covered bed where she feels safe. 🛏️

🏡 Needs a quiet home
🐾 No dogs or other cats
😻 OK as a single kitty

🌟 Meet Vegan! 🌟

This smart, funny, and loving companion is ready to find her forever home! 🐾

Vegan is full of energy and loves to play—fetch, tag, and toys are her favorite! 🎾✨ She’s super active and needs plenty of playtime to release her abundance of energy. She’s still working on not play attacking hands and feet, but when she’s not zooming around, she’s a total sweetheart who loves snuggling with her people. ❤️🐱

Having not grown up with humans, Vegan can be a bit of a diva when things don’t go her way, so she needs adopters who are experienced with cats, can read her body language, and set clear boundaries. She’s also quite mischievous, so a thoroughly cat-proofed home is a must! 🛋️🙃

Vegan has anxiety that is well-managed with medication and needs a calm environment. She’ll thrive in a home with:
🚫 No dogs
🚫 No other cats
🏡 A single-pet household
👧 Older kids only (8+)

If you’re looking for a playful, quirky, and affectionate companion, Vegan could be the perfect match for you! 💕 Apply to adopt her today at vokra.ca/adopt.

Kyle is a purring machine who adores affection and would thrive in a quieter environment. While he may be shy at first in a new space, once he settles in, he transforms into a social butterfly 🦋 who loves attention!

He’s come such a long way, but he’s still not a fan of sudden sounds or movements outside of playtime. 🐱✨ Kyle is very easy to read and will always let you know his mood. Cuddles, belly rubs, and pets? Always welcome! 🐾💕

Meet Sage and Sunny! 🌞🐾 From the moment these confident little explorers walked through the door, they were perfectly at ease. Within minutes, they turned the kitty room into their personal playground, testing every toy with enthusiasm. Once given the run of the house, they transformed into a curious little crew, zipping from room to room and leaving playful paw prints everywhere.

Sage 🐱 has no concept of personal space—when he wants attention, he’s all in! With his loud purrs, constant nuzzles, and sweet charm, he’ll make sure you can’t ignore him.

Sunny 🐾 is the independent adventurer of the group, always the first to dash off and explore something new. His loving gaze and soft purrs are sure to melt your heart.

These adorable kittens are equally curious about their resident cat and dog friends and are happy to snuggle up on any available lap. They can be adopted as a pair, with any sibling, or as a buddy to another cat.

📅 Age: 2 months, 12 days
✅ Great with dogs, cats, and cuddles

🐾 Meet Arbie & Billy, the *purr-fect* bonded duo! 🐾

✨ **Arbie** is the affectionate, playful big brother who loves cuddles, attention, and exploring. Whether he’s chasing spring toys or greeting you at the door for belly rubs, Arbie’s curious and energetic personality will win your heart in no time. He’s a purring machine who loves to be near you—whether it’s playtime or couch cuddles!

✨ **Billy** is the smaller, more cautious brother with a gentle soul. Once he warms up, he’ll melt in your arms and fall asleep while purring loudly. Billy loves chasing balls, playing with shoes, and pulling off epic wrestling moves with Arbie! He looks to his brother for confidence and is blossoming into an affectionate and playful kitten.

💖 Together, Arbie and Billy are inseparable—they cuddle, wrestle, and take turns with their favorite toys. These sweet boys would thrive in a home full of love, attention, and plenty of playtime. They’d also do well with patient, cat-savvy kids.

📅 5 months old
