Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Ladysmith, British Columbia

Are you looking for a kitty to hold you accountable when it comes to giving them the best, most exciting life ever?! Well then, Sasha may be your gal. Sasha is very social and affectionate with people she trusts. She absolutely loves resting on your lap or legs while watching TV and being given gentle pats on her head and neck. She doesn't like being held but will tolerate it for brief periods or for trimming her nails. We suspect she is part Siamese which accounts for beautiful big eyes, and the little bit of the CAT-itude. Like most Siamese, affection is on her terms. She connects with some people right away, and ignores/tolerates others. She has a VERY active mind and requires an enriching environment. She needs an owner who is dedicated to keeping her busy with new toys, puzzle games, clicker training, harness walking, or any new activity to keep her mind and body satisfied. Sasha even loves cat tv!! She is smart and can figure out treat puzzles quickly, so she is always looking for a new challenge. Sasha likes to be an active companion in your life and activities. She is very social with the people she loves, and wants to be engaged with whatever they're doing.Sasha is prone to anxiety and over stimulation so a calm environment is best for her. If she feels threatened she will stand her ground and hiss/swat while other cats would probably hide. Sasha enjoys being groomed, however it's imperative to watch her body language as she can get overstimulated and swat. For that reason, it is best for her to be in an adult only home.To help with anxiety and changes in her environment we've started her on an over the counter supplement called Zyklene which has been very effective in helping her to relax. It has made a notable difference (along with keeping her brain busy) in her behaviours and has lessened her decisions to swat. Sasha starts her mornings off with a gentle paw on her foster mom to wake her up. She gets some gentle pets and they start their day. She is a relatively quiet girl, usually only making her meows known around food time. The reason Sasha is in foster even though she is very healthy is because she does extremely poorly in a shelter environment. She is shut down, and completely terrified. Once she is in a calm home she comes out of her shell quickly and becomes a social and affectionate cat!All of this being said Sasha is a very loving kitty that will keep you on your toes, but her beauty and quirky personality is worth it. We know that in the right home, with a dedicated cat owner who is looking for a busy kitty, she will do great. Primary Color: Black Weight: 4.4 Age: 5yrs 7mths 2wks

Oh Miss Thistle! This munchkin is going to be the star of someone's show. Thistle is such a spunky little gal, with lots of love and snuggles to give. Thistle wants to play, zipping around her catio and playing around with any little toys she has access to. This little firecracker comes right to the door with a vocal greeting, rubbing around our ankles waiting for snuggles. Being picked up isn't her fav, but if its to pop her onto your lap she'll accept it. Thistle is still young, so she sometimes gets into a funky little mood where she plays a bit too hard, so young kids may be an obstacle for her. She may be able to live in tandem with another polite kitty, but being the sole ringleader of the house will be her first choice. Little miss is also very sensitive about her lack of tail, so prefers no one touches it! This girlie can steal hearts, and she's ready to steal yours!

Macadamia is a bundle of puuurrrsonality. Macadamia was a young mom whose kittens have recently grown up and she is so ready to find her loving forever family to shower her with all the love fuurever! This little beauty is eager to focus building a stable, trusting and caring relationship with "her" people. Macadamia was found with her days old kittens outside in early Spring. This poor mom was doing her best but was struggling with a heavy flea infestation and malnutrition. She got brought into the shelter, cleaned up and went straight into a quiet foster home. Her first four weeks she was terrified in her new environment and very overwhelmed. As she started to settle in into her new space, she gained the confidence to show her hilarious personality. Macadamia is a talker, she talks with what her foster described as "grumbling". If you are sitting she loves to come and demand petting and will climb right into your lap, talking and purring to you the whole time. It did take awhile for our Macadamia to show this wonderful side of herself. She will need a home where people are willing to let her decompress and earn her trust. She does still struggle with people coming in through the door. She can be confident with "her" people but continues to find it difficult to give newer people grace and is easily startled with new situations/new people. She has been so good, attentive and protective with her babies- we are hopefully once she has her own home she won't feel the need to be so vigilant and can relax fully with her forever family. If you are ready to open your hearts- this mommy promises to give you a belated thank you with all the merps, grumblies and purring butt waggles post her decompression time. Could be fun!
