My story

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

Gooseberry is a handsome black and white boy with a soft, fluffy coat and a very sensitive heart. He is currently very shy and fearful, and the world still feels like a big, overwhelming place to him. Gooseberry is looking for a calm, patient adopter who understands that some cats need extra time and compassion to feel safe.

He will do best in a quiet home where he can slowly come out of his shell at his own pace, with cozy hiding spots and gentle, reassuring routines. Gooseberry may not be ready for pets and cuddles right away, but with understanding and consistency, he has the potential to build trust and form a deep bond with his person.

If you have a peaceful home and a soft spot for fearful cats who need a little extra love, Gooseberry may be the perfect match. With patience and kindness, this timid boy will be able to blossom in his own time.

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.
