My story

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

This two-year old pocket cat hasn't had much opportunity to be a kitten - she's had multiple litters and was one of many cats in her previous home. If you want a loving, silly and energetic companion who is also happy to chill by your side, and if you are willing to show her all the benefits of VIP life, then Babette may be the cat for you.

This tiny tuxie loves to play and snuggle but she needs to build trust with you first before she will show you her full quirky, goofy and hilarious self. She will quickly warm up because she loves to be pet and to explore - she is curious and affectionate although she shows this in her own way. You can win your way into this cat's heart with a wand toy, feathered objects, or quiet bouncy balls - or by giving her many scritches.

She isn't yet a lap cat, but shows potential to maybe enjoy a lap or two in the future. She will happily snooze cuddled up against your hip or your arm. When you pet her, she will purr her appreciation as she gazes into your eyes. She does meow occasionally while playing or when she hears you through the door, but overall is fairly quiet. She is only mildly interested in cat TV or the outdoors, but is mesmerized by the arrow pointer/cursor on a computer screen

Babette has some food insecure behaviours - she eats very quickly, doesn't leave any crumbs, and is very food motivated. With time, she may learn to become more secure about her food source. She also is still a bit shy with loud noises and people approaching and would do bets in a quieter home with no small children.

Are you ready to show Babette just how much fun it is to be a well-loved cat? Call to arrange an appointment to meet this great, goofy girl.

Do you think you could be Babette's person? Here are some ways to find out:
1. Visit our centre to meet this pet during viewing hours at 3202 Norland Ave, learn more about their ideal match and apply to adopt in person; or
2. Submit an online application adopt.spca.bc.ca and staff will contact the first suitable adopter to set-up a visit!

Please note our adoption/viewing hours are 1-5pm Monday-Wednesday and Friday. Saturday and Sunday is 1-4pm. We are closed for viewing on Thursdays.
