My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Gemma, a beautiful and very shy girl in search of her forever home. Gemma is a sweet and gentle soul who has had a challenging start in life, making her quite timid around new people and situations. She longs for a patient and understanding family who will give her the time and space she needs to feel safe and secure.

Due to her shy nature, Gemma would do best in a calm and quiet environment without small children. Loud noises and sudden movements can easily startle her, so a tranquil household would help her feel more relaxed and at ease. Gemma is a cat who craves companionship, and she would thrive in a home with another friendly feline companion. Having a cat friend around would provide her with comfort and support, helping her build confidence and come out of her shell.

If you are looking to give a loving home to a special cat like Gemma, one filled with patience, understanding, and the company of another furry friend, then she could be the perfect addition to your family. With time and love, Gemma is sure to blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion, bringing joy and warmth to your home for years to come.

Do you think you could be Gemma's person?

    The BC SPCA is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in British Columbia. Through its locations and operations across the province the BC SPCA provides emergency medical care and sheltering for more than 37,000 animals each year. The society also conducts more than 4,600 cruelty investigations and provides a wide range of advocacy and education programs for domestic, farm and wild animals through its Provincial Office.

    Our mission, vision and charter is at the heart of all we do to rescue, protect and care for animals. It is also the driving force behind our animal welfare and education programs.

    Our Charter:



    The BC SPCA Charter is the foundation that guides the work we do:

    Whereas:

    The world is inhabited by many species sharing a common ecosystem of air, earth, and water. We recognize and value our interconnectedness with all animals.

    Therefore:

    The BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for the animals of the world we share.



    We pledge our energies to inspire and mobilize society to create a world in which all animals, who depend on humans for their well-being, experience, as a minimum, five essential freedoms:



    1. Freedom from hunger and thirst

    2. Freedom from pain, injury, and disease

    3. Freedom from distress

    4. Freedom from discomfort

    5. Freedom to express behaviours that promote well-being.
