Story
Sammy is a beautiful black tortie who is looking for a loving home to call her own. Sammy was brought into care with her brother, sister and mother after her guardian of 12 years passed away. At first this was a very scary time for Sammy and her family, but with a little time and a lot of love, Sammy is ready to retire in another loving home. Sammy recently discovered the joys of toys that move and would love to incorporate more play time into her routine. This girl loves pets, and she has a purr that can be heard anywhere in the room. If she feels the amount of attention she is getting is inadequate, she will gently reach out and pull your hand onto her head. Sammy has begun a weight loss program and is looking forward to an adopter willing to help her along. A best-matched environment would be calm and quiet with plush beds for napping on and dedicated grooming times.Think Sammy is the one for you? 1.Visit the Nelson BC SPCA Community Animal Centre or call 250-352-7178 to learn more about Sammy's ideal match and apply to adopt in person; or2.Submit an online application at https://spca.bc.ca/survey/cat-adoption-application-nelson/ and staff will contact the first suitable adopter to set-up a visit!

Story
This beautiful playful lass is ready to start fresh in her new home. Once Robin settles in she really likes to play. You will find this fun cat throwing around her favourite toys or zooming around the room. Robin is still a bit nervous at first and may hide. However, being food motivated means she can be enticed with a good treat. She comes around quickly for that. Robin loves to make biscuits on soft bedding and can even be a bit of a cuddle bug lap cat when she truly relaxes. Robin would do best in an adult/older children home. She greatly enjoys the company of the other cats she came in with, meaning it's likely she would get along well with another friendly feline.Feel Robin is the one for you?

Story
Zeus is an active young adult Siamese point with a cute crooked ear. Coming from a place with too many cats, he is learning how to interact with people and other cats. Zeus is a people person, craving your affection. He runs up to you for attention, sometimes giving gentle love bites to encourage you to pet him. While he adores head scratches and being groomed, Zeus prefers getting places on his own rather than being picked up and carried around. However, if you sit nearby, he quickly jumps into your lap for some love and pets. His cauliflower ear does not affect him adversely in any way. Zeus will do best in a home where he is the only pet and preferably with older children. Think Zeus is the one for you?

Story
This is Chewy. Chewy is a very sweet 11-year-old man who is searching for his fur-ever home. Chewy is a gentle soul who loves to lay around and cozy up in his blankets. If you shake a bag of cat treats, he's right beside you in seconds. He loves to be brushed and pampered and enjoys his wet food. Chewy sadly does not like other cats so he will need to be in a home with no other cats. He is also an indoor cat. If Chewy sounds like a good match for you, or if you have any questions please give the West Kootenay SPCA a call at 250-508-0297.
