Story
Say hello to Gobber, a gentle soul with a heart of gold-perfectly named after the steadfast blacksmith from How to Train Your Dragon. Just like his namesake, Gobber may seem a bit reserved at first, but beneath that cautious exterior lies a warm, loyal companion who's ready to share a lifetime of love.Gobber takes a little extra time to get comfortable in new environments, but once he trusts you, he blossoms into the sweetest companion. He'll show his affection with slow blinks, soft purrs, and his signature move-rolling onto his side for gentle pets and reassurance. Watching his confidence grow is a heartwarming experience, and he'll reward your patience tenfold. When he is happy, Gobber is a drooly boy! Because of his shy nature, Gobber will do best in a quiet home where he can properly decompress and adjust at his own pace. Gobber would do best as an indoor-only cat, where he can enjoy a safe, cozy environment. He'd also love to have a feline friend by his side-another cat to play with, snuggle, and share his new life's adventures.

IN FOSTER - NOT IN CENTRE. PLEASE READ THEIR BIO. Meet Frito and Ritz! These kittens were rescued from a barn and were initially very shy and scared of human interaction. They have been in foster care for the past three weeks and have transformed into the friendliest little beans!Frito is your stereotypical, friendly orange cat. He has a silent mew and likes to silently scream for pets and attention. He follows his foster family around and rolls around on the ground constantly. He loves to watch TV and recieve full body pets when he's not running around playing with his sister. He is a purr machine and looooves to be pet. Frito is very chill and has moderate energy.Ritz is a very sweet and social little lady. She adores the bath mat and can always been found rolling around on a cozy mat. She loves to rub up against her foster family's legs and has a very loud purr. She zooms around with her brother throughout the day and then enjoys full body pets and snuggles. Ritz is fairly mellow and has moderate energy.These two kittens are bonded and would love to find a home together! They would thrive in a indoor-only home setting as the only pets. They will likely take a few days to warm up to a new setting and would do best in a contained area to start off in.Ritz and Frito were brought into the shelter with an upper respiratory infection known as calicivirus. While they have since recovered, this virus stays with cats for life and can sometimes cause flare ups (similar to a human cold). This virus is only contagious to other cats which is why they should be the only kitties in the home.These two are looking for a foster-to-adopt home in Nanaimo region while they await their spay and neuter appointments.

Story
Meet Wibby - Our Quiet Princess Looking for Her CastleWibby is a stunning 10-year-old calico who just needs the right home to let her true colours shine. While she is extremely fearful in the shelter environment, in a calm and loving home she transforms into the sweetest snuggler.Wibby loves nothing more than curling up on your lap at the table, and she'll happily sleep beside you-purring the whole night through. She's a gentle companion with a big heart, especially for the women in her life, and she thrives in a peaceful home where she can feel safe and adored.She has lived comfortably with other cats, but she does not do well with dogs and needs a dog-free home.
