Meet Curly! 💕

This 8-year-old Sphynx Munchkin is as unique as she is lovable. Curly came into our care due to inappropriate urination, and she has a history of UTIs and urinary crystals, so she will need to remain on a vet-prescribed urinary diet to keep her feeling her best.

As a Sphynx, Curly requires a bit of extra TLC, including regular baths, ear cleaning, and skin care, so Sphynx-experienced adopters are preferred.

As a Munchkin cat, Curly also has special considerations. Her short legs mean she may not be able to jump as high as other cats and could benefit from accessible spaces, low-entry litter boxes, and steps or ramps to reach her favourite cozy spots. Gentle handling is especially important to avoid putting strain on her spine or joints.

Curly is sensitive to her environment and would do best in a calm home without small children, as loud noises can make her uncomfortable. She can also become overstimulated with too much touch, so she'll thrive with someone who understands feline body language and can give her affection on her terms.

During her time in care, Curly has shown that she does not get along with other animals and prefers to be the only pet in the home so she can fully relax and soak up all the attention.

Once Curly feels safe and settled, she becomes the sweetest little angel who loves attention and companionship. If you're ready to support a special girl with a gentle heart, Curly may be the perfect fit. 💗

    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.
