Adoptable Hockey Litter!

This sweet group of boys just arrived at Bosley's Eagle Creek today. They’re approx 14 weeks old. You may recognize them from their visit to Berwick House - they guys play hard and crash hard. They are good with other cats and have been around dogs. They still need a proper introduction but have gotten along with all the dogs they’ve met.

If you are interested in adopting one (or more) of the Hockey Litter please go meet them then fill out an application at gvacrescue.ca

Introducing Mrs Claus, Heat Mizer, Snow Mizer, Frosty and 9 little reindeer! (That’s how many names we needed for this litter 😅)

Mrs Claus is raising 12 babies on her own as a single mother. She is doing a fantastic job keeping everyone fed and taken care of 💗 We’ve never seen a litter this big! She was surrendered when her owner realized she was pregnant (shortly after she gave birth 🙊). Thirteen gerbils is a lot for someone who only expected one!

The little ones just opened their eyes this week and are now three weeks old. They’re being handled daily and are starting to follow mom around the tank. In a few weeks we’ll be looking for fosters and adopters for these guys because 6 tanks will be a lot for one foster to have! We’re also looking for donations of tanks that are a minimum of 20 gallons. We prefer to adopt the set up with the gerbils so we can ensure they have adequate cage size as there is so much misinformation out there as to what size living space they need. Their adoption fee of $100 will include a pair of gerbils (they do better with a friend) as well as their living quarters.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting a part of this big family, keep an eye on our Facebook for when they are ready! Please message us if you have a tank you’d like to donate.

Our volunteers had a great time visiting the folks at Berwick yesterday with our most recent litter of kittens, the Hockey Litter. We enjoy coming to chat with residents about our animals and their animals, and getting to share the playful kitten antics with other people.

Gretsky (pictured below) made himself comfortable on this kind lady’s lap and stayed there for half of our visit! (After he had run around with his siblings and tired himself out 😉).

12/07/2024

Thank you to all the people who have purchased things from our wishlist! It is a huge help.

Please excuse the background noise but Gus wanted to let you in on a secret…..he asked Santa for Catit squeeze treats.

He wants to tell you he and all his friends share a few every night before bed. Please also excuse mommy’s messy room as the kittens have knocked everything off her dresser.

Here’s where you can buy them if anyone wants to help Santa out:

Adoptable Cooper and Jack-Jack

The boys want to say Happy 1st Birthday to their sisters; Peggy, Eliza and Angelica! 🥳

The girls were adopted earlier this year but these two are still looking for their forever home after 290 days in care after being surrendered when their owners accidentally bought a pregnant guinea pig from a pet store 🙊 We don’t know why they are getting passed up 😔 Their foster is working diligently to help them be the best guinea pigs they can be for when their family comes along. Could that be you??

If you’re interested in meeting/adopting Cooper and Jack-Jack please fill out an application form at gvacrescue.ca

12/01/2024

Update: These lucky babies all found a home with adopters that had been waiting for them to land at Bosleys. Lucky kitties.

Adoptable Christmas Litter!

Claus, Eggnog and Sugarplum are 3 months old and ready for their forever homes. Their life started outside but they much prefer being indoors and getting ALLLL the love and attention.

This litter is very easy going and playful. Claus is the bravest of the group. They have not been tested with dogs but would do well with other cats.

If you’re interested in adopting one (or more) of the Christmas Litter, please go to Bosley's on Burnside to meet them first then fill out an application at gvac rescue.ca

Their adoption fee is $500 each or $950 for a pair. They will go fast.

Charlie’s Angels have graduated to daytime playtime and nighttime safety of the cage. These guys are very well adjusted kittens and all but Sabrina will be available for adoption mid December.

Thought you could all use a stormy day update. The Angels are moving into a bigger cage today. Kelly and Bosley will be available for adoption soon. Sabrina and Jill need a bit more work still but we are making progress. Before and after pictures in the comments.

Update on little Sabrina… She was doing so well up until Friday and then lost 45 g. I popped her back on supportive care and our vet has been coming to examine her as needed. This little one has some serious fight in her! Send her some love and prayers to get her over this hump.
