Story
Bob Jr. is a sweet but very timid little gentleman, like, full-on tuxedo and everything, as if he’s permanently dressed for a very fancy event but would rather not be perceived at it. At first, he’s more of a quiet observer than a participant. He might hang back, watching the world like a tiny, black-and-white philosopher, trying to decide if it’s safe to join in. New things can be a bit overwhelming, so he takes his time (and honestly, who can blame him? Life can be a lot). But if you’re patient and kind, Bob Jr. will slowly start to come out of his shell. He’ll inch a little closer, accept a gentle pet, and eventually decide that you are, in fact, trustworthy. He enjoys chin scratches and a tasty treat now and then. No drama, no chaos, just a shy little tuxedo guy learning that the world isn’t so scary after all.Bob Jr. would do best in a calm, patient home with cat savvy adults that understands that bravery doesn’t always look loud, sometimes it looks like a cat leaning into some love. And when he finally curls up beside you in his little tux like he’s been yours forever? That’s a moment worth waiting for!At HSKWSP we do not assign our dogs or cats with a breed as we cannot guarantee the specific breed that they are. All dogs are labelled as small, medium and large breed and cats are labelled as DSH, DMH and DLH based on their characteristics.***NOTE*** Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets. They will be experiencing a new environment and meeting new people, which means they may not exhibit the same behaviours they did in their foster videos or while in foster care.If you are viewing this animal through 24Petconnect by PetPlace or Adopt-a-pet, please visit our website https://kwsphumane.ca/adopt/process to submit an application.

Story
This handsome boy is sure to capture your heart with his stunning blue eyes! Pangur is a sweet cat who enjoys attention on his own terms. Once he feels safe and comfortable, he`ll happily lean in for chin scratches and connection. Pangur is looking for a home with older kids or adult only home who has experience with cats in the past. This boy will need time and patience to settle in and let his loving personality shine. Now that Pangur has been with us for a little while, he has really started to come out of his shell with our volunteers and staff. This beautiful boy has a big, rumbling purr and loves to roll over for his shelter friends, soaking up all the attention he can get! It`s been wonderful to watch his personality blossom, and it`s clear that beneath his initially reserved nature is an incredibly affectionate and loving cat.If you`re searching for a gorgeous new friend who will reward your patience with affection and trust, Pangur may be the perfect match for you! Come by the shelter and meet Pangur today. At HSKWSP we do not assign our dogs or cats with a breed as we cannot guarantee the specific breed that they are.

Story
Moss is a soft-hearted tabby with such big, curious green eyes! While he may be a little shy at first, there’s a sweetness in him that’s just waiting to bloom in the right home. He’s looking for a calm and peaceful environment where he can take things at his own pace. Loud spaces and lots of activity aren’t his style, Moss prefers patient companions (adults or older, calm kids) who understand that trust takes time. With a little patience and kindness, Moss begins to show his true self: an affectionate boy who forms deep bonds with his people. Watching him come out of his shell is sure to be a special experience, and the connection you’ll build with him is well worth the wait.In his foster home, Moss has been showing his affectionate side, happily curling up on a lap for chin tickles or leaning in for soft pets. He is very gentle and really enjoys companionship, but he can be easily startled. When something worries him, he’ll find a quiet hiding spot until he feels ready to come out and try again! His foster has also mentioned that he may do best as the only cat in the home. If you have a quiet home and a gentle heart, Moss might just be the perfect companion to grow alongside you! Come meet him today. At HSKWSP we do not assign our dogs or cats with a breed as we cannot guarantee the specific breed that they are.
