We took Gabby from the Pound since she was not getting a home due to her weight. She is with a lovely senior now and having a great life. She follows her from room to room and likes to sleep on the bed. She loves head scratches. She is having a great life and looks much better and happier now than when we first took her.
Ashley did well for many years even with her diabetes. However, her kidneys began to fail and crashed very quickly and there was nothing we could do. Her foster mom misses her very much and thinks of her every day. She has taken our diabetic cat Beanie into her home to care for now and Beanie is very happy that he now has his own person.

Armani is a beautiful cat who went through several homes in his first few years, at one point falling out a window which led to amputation of a front leg. With all of these changes and also feeling vulnerable due to his leg loss, he became a bit of a striker kitty. Because he is gorgeous and is a Balinese purebred cat people were a bit impulsive at giving him a home, but then soon rejected the poor fellow. When he ended up in our care, we fell in love with him and did not want the same thing to happen again. We placed him with a senior couple who had just joined our program. Over the last couple of years they have been very patient with him and gradually he is becoming much more trusting and calm. He even runs to the door to greet them and will fall asleep in a lap. He can still be feisty at times but his Feliway plug-ins help. His "mom and dad" treat him like royalty and give him a lot of special attention and also the "space" he needs to feel comfortable. He loves his toys and it is a pleasure to see him finally in a stable home with a couple that loves him very much. They take great care of him and he has not needed any vet care.
Cindy was taken as a surrender with kittens many years ago. She was placed in a senior home with a woman in her 80’s and she is now in her 90’s. It is a great home and Cindy loves to sit in her lap. It is a great match and they are both happy and have a great bond. Cindy is the mother of Gem who is also in our senior program.
Sept 21 2019 Update:
Emily has been in our senior foster program for many years with a couple. She was flown down from up-island when she needed help many years ago. She is our poster girl of one cat in our rescue who is in good health. When placed in this home she was overweight but now has lost weight on her Metabolic food. However, when she lost weight she found it easier to jump onto counters! She is a lovely girl who enjoys her wonderful home and rules the roost!
June 2018 update
Emily is a wonderful girl. She is one of our few who has never needed vet care after intake. She is a healthy kitty and is doing well with maintaining her weight loss. The reduction in weight made her more energetic and put bounce in her step.... unfortunately, this including bouncing up onto the counters!! Her foster mom and dad have control of this new problem, however, it is hard for them to be major disciplinarians with such a sweet little lady. She continues to be the queen of the condo and to make sure daily life revolves around Emily! Emily’s mom and dad have made donations for her food which has been very helpful.
Emily (old intake bio below) has now been in our Long Term Senior Foster Program with a wonderful senior couple for a few years! She is doing really well and has a great life. Our senior program provides a permanent home for Emily and she is happy and healthy. She is treated like royalty and runs the household. We are very happy that she found the home she deserves.
I’m Emily, the kitty who “loves too much”! I love to kiss on first meeting, so no cold fish need apply. I will be all over you, wanting your love and affection. Sure I can wait for someone to come home from work, as I do need to rest up for the intense cuddling later that night… I do enjoy my quality alone time too while you are out of the home. When you are home I want to be near you and if you are in a separate room I will meow at the door until you join me.
I’m beautiful, I’m charming, I’m healthy, I’m about a year and a half old, spayed, and I’m looking for LOVE from the lucky person with whom I shall grace my presence forever and ever. I’m very self-assured and congenial and love all people.
I want to live indoors only. I love kids but probably need an adult household unless the kids are old enough and mature enough to know they must keep me inside. I like the clean and quiet life indoors and want to forget my wild past up in Campbell River where I was abandoned and living under a porch – oh, how I shudder to think of those times.
Considering how much love I require and can give, I refuse to share you with another pet – so I absolutely insist on being an only cat so I can get all your attention. If there are other cats I will devote my time to disciplining them (sometimes not very gently) and it is very exhausting for all involved. It must be just me, me, me.
One important note about my personality. I AM A TALKER ! I have a high-pitched Siamese type voice and will try to get your attention by chatting. I can be quiet too, but communication is important to me. Let’s have a chat!
