Maine Coon kittens & cats in British Columbia

Jack and Jill are seniors who have found themselves homeless after being with their elderly guardians for 12 years.Their unfortunate story unfolded when a senior couple were evacuated in the Scotch Creek wildfire but they were unable to take Jack and Jill with them. The cats spent a number of days in the home on their own before they were able to be rescued and brought safely to the SPCA.These loving senior kittys have found it difficult to adjust to life without their people and their home but unfortunately they can not return home. Jill, who has always been a nervous worrying sort, was so sad, that she needed to see a vet. It was then that we discovered she had some irregularities with her heart which we've been exploring.Broken hearted Jill is starting to feel happier but she wont be back to her usual self until she's settled in her new home. Jack, who is much more confident has been holding her paw throughout the transition. Jill adores pets and never wants you to stop, if you do she taps your arm with her paw until you start petting her again. We are really hoping that these wonderful seniors can find a quiet, loving home where they'll get lots of attention..... really quickly.

FOR ADOPTION: SPUD is another 5 month old member of our Potato kittens litter that has grown up in our care and was recently neutered making him ready for his forever family. Spud is bold, confident and oh so sweet. He loves to snuggle up with anyone that has time to hold him and he is a rowdy and playful boy when he’s not snuggling. Spud is so confident that he is great with children and comfortable with friendly dogs. He can be a little much when meeting new cats and does come off as dominant but he is not mean. Spud will pair best with another confident and playful young cat so they are not intimidated by him and the two cats can have a ball wrestling and playing chase. He has been indoor only his entire life and is happy to continue in that lifestyle . Spud is confident enough to take well to harness training and accompanying his family on walks or adventures. He is neutered, vaccinated and up to date on parasite control. If you’ve been looking for a loving new adventure buddy apply today at www.NWAS.ca for a chance to meet SPUD. #NWASSpud #NWASPotatoKittens

Meet Rufio. This incredibly handsome boy came to us from a hoarding situation. He was about 6 months old when he was rescued, and unfortunately, he didn't receive individual handling during the critical socialization period. While this big guy is gorgeous and draws everyone's attention, he is not the right fit for every home. He needs a family that is very cat-experienced and will help him continue on his socialization journey. Finding the right home for Rufio will be important. He has really great potential to bond with someone that he clicks with, but it is going to take dedication, patience, and the right environment for that to happen. At this time, Rufio is not human-social and is not comfortable being handled by people. He is very nervous of loud sounds and fast movements, but Rufio really finds a lot of comfort in other cats. Therefore, he needs a calm/quiet, cat-experienced home with other cats that want to be his friends. Despite Rufio's young age, he's more of a cuddler than a player when it comes to how he interacts with other cats, so a home with older cats would be OK for him. He is currently in a foster home with several other adoptable cats and would be happy to be adopted along with some of them if his potential adopter does not have other cats currently. Rufio is only a year old and he is a big guy! Not only is he big-boned, but he is also doing everything that he can go gain weight. Food is the key to this boy's heart and he hoovers his dinner faster than you can blink. This is a symptom of growing up in a home with a large number of cats, and he may never outgrow it. Therefore, he needs to be in a home where he will be meal-fed a measured amount of food, and not free-fed. He will become severely obese if he isn't kept on a diet. The one benefit to Rufio's love of food is that it means that you can work on bonding with him during meal times. He doesn't love being pet, but he will begrudgingly allow one or two strokes while he's eating. The same goes for brushing, which is important since he has such a long, thick coat. A "Go Slow" bowl, kitty treat ball, or food puzzle is recommended for Rufio. If he eats out of a bowl he just gobbles too fast. Rufio is currently in a foster home with several other cats that are from the same hoarding situation. He is also with 2 other female cats about the same age, that are from another rescue situation. He has been great with all of them, as well as with the 2 resident cats that live in his foster home. Despite his giant size, Rufio is a lover, not a fighter. He will cuddle with every cat, and even seems to protect the small/scared newcomers in his foster home. Children and dogs will not be a good fit for Rufio. He had negative experiences with them in the past, prior to coming into rescue. He would absolutely love a home with a catio or enclosed area where he can safely enjoy the outdoors from within. If you'd like to learn more about Rufio, please visit https://victoriapets.ca/adoption-process/ for information about our adoption process and a copy of our online application. Please note that Rufio is only available for adoption on southern Vancouver Island or the Gulf Islands.
