Rescue Me: Decost Is The Cat’s Meow And Is Looking For His Forever Home

1 Feb

DecostSPCAWelcome to the next installment of Rescue Me in which we feature pets waiting for adoption at the Vancouver SPCA. Today we would like to introduce you to a sweet boy named Decost.  He is a 9 year old short hair cat that has personality plus.  Decost has been hanging out at the Vancouver SPCA for 60 days now. This boy was a stray for about a year prior to that so really needs a home to call his own.  Speaking of home, you will know you are at home with this boy around.  His meow is a raspy sounding thing which will be sure to keep you entertained.   Decost loves his treats and is responding to clicker training. His friends at the Vancouver SPCA say he will be shaking a paw soon.   Decost is best-suited to a cat-saavy adult home.  He is accustomed to indoor/outdoor living, so a good fit would be with someone that is willing to safely introduce him to supervised outdoor outings. Although the shelter is better than being a stray, Decost is a tad bored at the shelter and would really like his forever home. Could it be yours? If so, the Vancouver SPCA Shelter, 1205 East 7th Avenue would love to hear from you. Stop by for a visit anytime. If you would like more information about Decost, the Vancouver SPCA would love to hear from you. You can reach them by telephone at 604-879-7721 or by email at vancouver@spca.bc.ca. As always, we thank you in advance for sharing this information to help find Decost his forever home.

UPDATED February 10, 2015: We are pleased to report Decost has found his forever home.

Rescue Me: Snow White Cat Marlee Looking For Her Forever Home

14 Nov

MarleeWelcome to the next installment of Rescue Me in which we feature pets waiting for adoption at the Vancouver SPCA. Today we would like to introduce you to a sweet girl appropriately named Marlee.  This snow white female short hair cat is approximately 1 year old. She came to the Vancouver SPCA as a stray and although she had a tattoo, the SPCA was unable to reach her owners.  So now this happy little spitfire of a girl is looking for a forever home.  But full disclosure, Marlee is deaf. Thus, she must be a strictly indoor cat for her own safety because of her hearing impairment.  Marlee loves to perch herself by a window and meow at a passerby. She is a happy loving girl who is a bit half dog/half cat and the SPCA feels she might do well with some harness and leash training so she can safely enjoy a bit of outdoor time with you.   She is a very confident and social cat and loves to be around people.   When alone she can sometimes be rather vocal and since she can’t hear herself meow, it’s a little louder than she realizes. For this reason, her friends at the Vancouver SPCA think that apartment dwelling might not be the best for her.  This blue eyed beauty would love to find herself a loving forever home with a family that will nurture her for the rest of her days. Could that be you or someone you know? If so, Marlee’s friends at the BC SPCA Vancouver Branch would love to hear from you whether by telephone at 604-879-7721 or by email at vancouver@spca.bc.ca. As always, we thank you in advance for sharing this information to help find this lovely girl find her forever home. Purrrrrr.

Rescue Me: Gordy Looking For Her Fovever Home

26 Oct

GordySPCACat2014Welcome to the next installment of Rescue Me in which we feature pets waiting for adoption at the Vancouver SPCA. Today we would like to introduce you to a lovely sassy girl. Her name is Gordy. She is an adult female short hair cat that is 6 years old.  Gordy came to the Vancouver SPCA’s care as a stray and has not been claimed by her owners. She enjoys the company of adults and is a pretty independent girl. This sometimes sassy girl likes affection on her own terms. Gordy is looking for a human friend who understands this about her.  The folks at the Vancouver SPCA think her ideal home would be with one individual so she can give you all the love she has.  They also feel that Gordy would be fine if you  have a busy schedule as she tends to entertain herself just fine, but she will definitely be awaiting your arrival home. Her friends at the Vancouver SPCA say that Gordy is good with other felines so a correctly matched kitty companion might suit her well. We understand Gordy loves to chatter (literally) back at you when you talk to her. This pretty girl with a black heart shaped nose is hoping you will let her be the queen she thinks she is. So you are invited to head down to the Vancouver SPCA and say hello to this sweet girl. As Gordy is  a long-term resident, she is a no cost adoption. If you think you could give Gordy a forever home, or know someone that can, please contact the BC SPCA Vancouver Branch by telephone at 604-879-7721 or by email at vancouver@spca.bc.ca.  As always, we thank you in advance for sharing this information to help find this lovely girl find her forever home.  Purrrrrr.

UPDATE November 18th: Gordy has found her forever home.

Rescue Me: Phoebe Is Looking For Her Forever Home

30 Sep

PhoebeVanSPCAWelcome to the next installment of Rescue Me in which we feature pets waiting for adoption at the Vancouver SPCA. Today we would like to introduce you to a lovely cat named Phoebe. She is a beautiful plus sized sweetie with a snowy white coat. Phoebe came to the Vancouver SPCA in early September as her caretakers were no longer able to give her the care and attention that she required. Phoebe had been living with them for the last three years. Previous to that she had been living happily with her original caretaker, but when her original caretaker became ill, Phoebe was re-homed with friends.  Having had two homes in her short lifetime, the Vancouver SPCA is hoping that Phoebe will finally find her forever family. Phoebe would do best in a household where she is the only pet, as her diet needs to be carefully monitored. Due to her large size, Phoebe isn’t able to move quickly, therefore she will need to be kept indoors where it is safe. Phoebe has lived with both men and women, but she is extremely fond of women. When she hears a woman’s voice she waddles over to investigate. Phoebe loves lounging around, being social and being groomed. She is a quiet girl and has a barely audible meow. If you think you could give Phoebe her forever home, or know someone that can, please contact the BC SPCA Vancouver Branch by telephone at 604-879-7721 or by email at vancouver@spca.bc.ca.Phoebe is currently in foster care, but her friends at the Vancouver SPCA are happy to set up a meet and greet.  As always, we thank you in advance for sharing this information to help Phoebe find her forever home.

UPDATED October 16, 2014 – Phoebe has found her forever home.

Rescue Me: Cady Looking For Her Forever Home

10 Sep

CadyVanSPCAWelcome to the next installment of Rescue Me in which we feature pets waiting for adoption at the Vancouver SPCA.  Today we would like to introduce to a lovely cat named Cady.  She is 5 year old tortoise shell and like most tortoise shell cats has a bit of ‘tortitude’ or so the lovely people at the Vancouver SPCA have found. Cady came to them as a stray on July 6th and has remained there since.  Although the Vancouver SPCA found her ‘people’ they did not come to claim her :-(. So this lovely girl now patiently waits for the puuurfect home.   The Vancouver SPCA thinks Cady is best suited for an adult only home without any other creatures where she can happily snuggle with you indoors.  In the SPCA’s experience, the tortoise shell cats can be rather independent, moody and a little possessive of their humans.  But Cady has shown that she easily bonds with people that she meets and enjoys giving gentle head butts.  She is a quiet girl and is happy to hang out on her own when you go off to work.   They expect she’s the kind of girl that will greet you at the door when you come home.   If you think you could give Cady her forever home, or know someone that can, please contact the BC SPCA Vancouver Branch by telephone at 604-879-7721 or by email at vancouver@spca.bc.ca. Psst this lovely girl even has her own You Tube video that shows off her beautiful green eyes, take a peak.  As always, we thank you in advance for sharing this information to help Cady find her forever home.

Rescue Me: Tiger, Senior Cat, Looking For Forever Home

5 May

Tiger

Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Tiger. I am a 9 year old full figured female tabby. I am looking for a new forever home because my previous guardian passed away :-(. I am temporarily hanging out at the Vancouver SPCA Branch Shelter where they are trying to help me find a new home.  I am an indoor cat that was used to living in an apartment with another kitty kat, so that’s the lifestyle I am accustomed to.  I think I would be happiest in a quiet adult home. Sometimes loud noises make me a little uneasy so I don’t think being around small children is best for me.  I am a VERY affectionate girl who loves to roll around to show my love. When staff and volunteers at the SPCA come into my room to hang out with me, I quickly run over to greet them with my big bright eyes and as soon as they sit down, their lap is mine! I love to curl into laps and sometimes do not give people the option to stop petting me. I am a very special girl with puursonality plus. OK so time to fess up, I might drool a little, but it’s a very loveable trait, promise. If you would like to meet me, stop by for a pet and snuggle. I’ll try to keep the drool to a minimum so I don’t scare you off.  If you think you might have a forever home for me, or know someone who might, please contact the great people at the SPCA Vancouver Branch Shelter, 1205 East 7th Avenue. You can reach them by phone at T: (604) 879-7721 or by email at 
vancouver@spca.bc.ca.  Meow. Thank you.

UPDATE April 7th, 2014: Tiger has found her forever home.

Rescue Me: Dorothy Is Not Only Looking for Her Ruby Slippers, But A Forever Home

16 Apr

Dorothy

Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Dorothy, I am a 9 year old female cat with tortoise shell hair and stunning olive green eyes. OK so I’m not modest.  I have been hanging out at the Vancouver SPCA Shelter for a while as my previous guardians moved and left me behind. Which means I’m looking for a new home. Might you have room for me?  Promise, I will give you lots of loves and cuddles, I am VERY affectionate.  Psst, don’t tell the other cats or they might get jealous, but I recently had a bit of work done on my teeth, so they are pearly white now.   Oh I guess I should mention, I am a bit of chunky monkey, but I prefer curvy thank you.  My friends here at the SCPA say I will have to lose a few pounds, so bit of play time would help with that. So do you wanna play?  I’m at the Vancouver SPCA Shelter, 1205 East 7th Avenue and would love a play date and a snuggle.  If we get along, you could take me home.  I’d really like that.  You can me reach my friends at the Vancouver SPCA by phone at 604.879.7721, or by email at vancouver@spca.bc.ca.  If you wish to share my story with your friends, so I have a better chance of finding a new forever home, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

UPDATED May 4, 2014: Dorothy has found her forever home.
