My story

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

Meet Norma! A resilient, affectionate cat who has been through some tough times and is hoping to put them behind her and find a loving, forever home that will spoil her for the rest of her days. Norma was found as a stray in a rural remote community extremely underweight and sporting two very badly frostbitten ears. She'd been struggling to survive on her own outdoors for a very long time. Thankfully a Good Samaritan rescued her and brought her to the SPCA where she is recovering from the hard times. Norma is loving all the yummy food she's getting to get back her full, girlish figure and rushes to greet you to see what tasty treats you may bring. Norma loves getting pets now that she's feeling better though, can still be a bit shy of her head being touched after living in pain for so long. She also loves finding the comfiest, coziest napping spot to curl up in where she can finally feel safe. We don't know what kind of home she lived in previously and if she's ever been around other animals or children so careful, slow, and proper introductions would be important. Very young children might be a bit much for her but older cat savvy kids who can respect the trauma she's been through and build her trust would likely be fine. Norma will make a wonderful companion and great addition to a home. She has so much gratefulness and love to share after being alone for so long. Will you be the one to show her all the comforts of a loving forever home.

*NORMA IS CURRENTLY RECOVERING FROM A DENTAL SURGERY AND NOT ABLE TO OFFICIALLY BE ADOPTED JUST YET. LOCAL ADOPTERS MAY HAVE THE OPTION TO FOSTER TO ADOPT UNTIL NORMA'S CARE IS COMPLETED. Ask staff for more information.

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:

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.
