My story

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

Meet Magpie - Your Future Snuggle Buddy!

Magpie is a sweet, affectionate senior cat who loves nothing more than curling up in a cozy lap and soaking up attention. She's a true people-lover and will happily keep you company while you read, watch TV, or just relax.

Magpie is currently on a short course of antibiotics for a bacterial infection (which cannot spread to humans and is very unlikely to spread to other cats). She also has anemia, and while we haven't pinpointed the exact cause, she's shown no signs of pain or distress and continues to live her best life! Other than her current antibiotics, she doesn't need daily treatments-just lots of love and regular vet checkups.

Because her health status is a bit of a question mark, we're treating her as immunocompromised for now. She's looking for a foster-to-adopt home in the South Okanagan area while we finish her treatment. Her future family should be prepared to partner with a vet team and schedule bi-annual checkups to keep her feeling great.

Magpie's ideal home:

Solo pet life: She prefers being the only cat and likely wouldn't enjoy living with dogs.

Indoor-only: To keep her safe and healthy.

Loving and committed: Someone who will embrace her as she is and give her the happy life she deserves.

Magpie could have many wonderful years ahead-she's a happy, snuggly girl who just wants a family to love her. If you're looking for a sweet lap cat who will brighten your days, Magpie is ready to meet you!
