Kittens have unique care needs at every stage of life. That's why estimating their age is so important! Alley Cat Allies is here to help: alleycat.org/KittenProgression

There's a reason our How Old Is That Kitten? resources are among our most popular; people are very passionate about protecting kittens and we're honored to guide them!

***urgently needed*** Friends, Catspan Society needs your help- "Baby Girl" needs short term foster home until her spay on July 14. She is 1.5 years old, very friendly, and in our care after birthing 8 kittens (for the second time ) The Society will supply everything needed for her care until her spay/adoption.

***Can you help Bucky*** The society is looking for long term foster care for our beloved Bucky. He is very friendly, but needs a home with no other cats because he has special food (He has allergies) As part of our long term foster program, the cost of his food and allergy treatment is covered by the Society . He deserves a kind and caring placement- his current foster has 6 other cats and worries Bucky would do better as a solo cat. Please contact us if you would like to help this guy :)

Bucky, aka ‘Boodles’ is a special guy. He’s about a year old and very personable. He loves to play with just about anything, even his own tail!
He’s a bit shy at first and can be nervous if approached suddenly, so a quiet home would be best.
He’s especially friendly when he’s hungry and will purr like crazy and give head butts and make biscuits til he’s fed.
Bucky has some special needs. He has a hyper sensitivity to something unknown, so he is on a special diet and has an non clay litter. The vet has been giving him injections every 5-6 weeks to keep his allergies under control.
He gets along great with other cats, but would have to be paired with others that have the same dietary needs. He would have to remain an indoor cat to prevent him from getting into anything that might cause his allergies to flare up.
Bucky is a beautiful boy who needs a special someone to give him his furever home.

Last year was a very busy for the society- having rescued over 100 kittens -not to mention dozens of adult cats. Many of our volunteers are resting and regrouping, we appreciate your patience- all is well -and our trapping volunteers and dispatch director are still active but temporarily on a reduced schedule. :) and we still have some adoptable cats.

Tachala is available for adoption!

Approx 7 month old neutered male.

From his foster:

He’s a busy boy…would prob be ok to go out if he had an acreage, but really has no interest to go out and he’s one that would chase a butterfly right in front of a car…
He’d prob be ok with kids…he loves to play…and he loves to climb…constantly on my curtain rod 🙄…he is nervous of strangers, but fine with us. Not a huge cuddler, he’s too busy…but attentive, always under foot especially when he’s hungry, lol

HOME FOUND 😊😻

REHOMING REQUEST - please contact owner at [email protected] for more information

Meet Molly. She is a 15 year old mix breed cat. She likes head pets and gentle rubs. She loves to be indoors but likes outside, too. She's a hunter and will keep rodents away. She doesn't like other cats but resides with 2 she tolerates. Molly really doesn't like dogs. She doesn't mind kids as long as they aren't pulling on her. I'm sad that due to unforeseen circumstances I have to move and can't take her with me. I'm shattered to have to give her away. I would like her to go to a home full of love, where she can live put her days healthy and happy

SLINKY AND TWINKY

Over 6 months in foster and we don't know why?
Home desperately wanted for these two lovely girls.

These bonded sisters are approximately 8 months old - fully vaccinated and spayed. They are playful, inquisitive and affectionate but would do best in a home without young children.

They are both solid black but distinguishable by their tails. Twinky has just a mini tail! Slinky is the more timid but very affectionate and cuddly when settled. Twinky is confident and curious and happy to accompany you all around the house.

If you would consider giving these two girls the home they deserve please contact us for an application form. They are currently in foster in Parksville.

ADOPTED 😻😊

Squash (orange) and Buddy (black) available January!
These two good boys are looking for a home together. They are not siblings but have bonded in their foster home and Squash especially would benefit from staying with his friend.
They are approximately 5 and 4 months old respectively and scheduled to be neutered January 12th.
Adoption fee of $300 per cat includes flea and worm treatment, full vaccinations, microchip and neuter.
Currently living with cats, dogs and kids. Buddy is fearless, inquisitive and affectionate. Squash is more nervous but extremely loving once he’s relaxed.

ADOPTED

Olive is an extremely sweet Siamese x tabby with gorgeous blue eyes who was found outside as a stray with her 10 week old kittens. Her kittens have all been adopted and now it is her turn to find a forever home. She loves to keep her foster mom company while she works from home, either sitting beside her (or on the keyboard!) purring loudly and kneading for attention or sleeping close by. She is also extremely playful and will spend hours chasing balls and small stuffed toys around. Understandably from her time on the streets, Olive can be a bit nervous with new sounds and people. That being said, she has come a very long way since she was first brought to her foster home and is becoming more social by the day. Olive would do best in a quiet home with no children or older children as she startles quite easily. She will need a room or quiet space to start until she gets used to the sounds of her new house. Olive was curious and open to the resident cat in the house (however that cat wasn’t in to her!) so would likely be fine with a friendly cat or dog in the home.

Saber is still available!! INDOOR ONLY (if he gets outside, he is good as gone!!) ☹️
He needs a very secure home! Older children who understand not to leave the door open or quiet family.
He comes to greet you when you get home. He absolutely doesn't like to be held but will tolerate it with his ears pinned back. He only likes to be pet on his terms. He is such a sweetheart but needs someone to give him all the patience in the world. We are looking for someone who cares more about the cat than their own idea of something cute and cuddly. He loves to play but runs and hides when company arrives.
He is the leader, the alpha of the pack. If you have other cats a female companion is best for Saber. He will need extra care.

If you can offer a great furrever home please contact us
