Story
Marshall is a senior boy who asks of very little from you! He is quite content just being in your presence while relaxing and doing his own cat things. Marshall really enjoys lounging - whether its on his favourite cat post, in a big cat bed, or out in his yard basking in the sunshine. He still has lots of energy to play, but for shorter periods of time, lounging is more his thing. Marshall has boundaries - he does not like to be picked up and only soaks up attention on his terms. He prefers to rub himself on you or perching himself close by when he is looking for love. Marshall CAN co exist with other cats, although prefers the space to himself and would not be suitable to a home with a dog or visiting dogs. An adult only home would also be preferred for Marshall. Fill out an application today to make this big brown tabby boy, yours ♥ Primary Color: Brown Tabby Weight: 5.8 Age: 9yrs 5mths 3wks

Story
Meet Goldie! This friendly little lady was brought to our shelter when her owner became overwhelmed with too many cats. Goldie is a pretty grey tabby with a unique orange hue. She enjoys interacting with her care takers and receiving pets and chin scratches :) She can sometimes become a little over stimulated and can react to hands - so you will need to move slowly and carefully watch her cues as she will communicate to you how she is feeling. Goldie previously lived with other cats so she might like the company of another resident cat. She will be the most successful in a home without dogs or young children. Come meet Goldie today!Please come into the shelter during visiting hours if you would like to meet me. While we do welcome online applications, in person meets have top priority.cats:https://spca.bc.ca/survey/cat-adoption-application-vancouver/Our visiting hours are:Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: 12-4:30Thursday, Public Holidays: closedSaturday, Sunday: 12-4 Primary Color: Grey Tabby Secondary Color: Orange Weight: 4.8 Age: 2yrs 0mths 0wks

Story
** Stella is in a foster home so meet and greets will be by appointment only **Meet Stella, a loving and devoted cat ready to embark on her next chapter in life. As a nurturing mother to a precious litter of kittens, Stella has demonstrated her caring nature and now eagerly awaits her own forever home. With a penchant for affection, she delights in gentle pets, particularly on her head and cheeks, and savors the attention of her human companions. Treats and food are surefire ways to win her heart, as she eagerly indulges in her favorite snacks. Basking in the warmth of the sun and relishing the simple joy of rolling on her back, Stella embodies a laid-back lifestyle. However, she has a sensitive side, preferring calm environments free from loud noises, sudden movements, or bustling activity. Therefore, Stella would thrive in a tranquil home environment without small children, where her boundaries are respected, and her loving nature can truly shine. Are you ready to welcome Stella into your heart and home?Do you think you could be Stella's person? Here are some ways to find out:Submit an online application adopt.spca.bc.ca and staff will contact the first suitable adopter to set-up a visit!
