As spring blossoms around us, bringing new life and vibrant colors, it’s a perfect time to reflect on love and companionship. While many animals find their forever homes quickly, some are still waiting for that special bond. At the BC SPCA, we have several long-stay animals hoping to spring into love this season. Here are three wonderful companions who would love nothing more than to find their forever homes.
Meet Barry: A gentle soul looking for his forever family
Barry is a sweet and affectionate cat looking for a calm and loving home where he can feel safe and secure. While he has some ongoing health needs, his warm personality and deep devotion to his people make him an incredibly special companion.
Barry has some hair loss on his legs due to allergies and will need to remain on a chicken-free diet to keep him comfortable. While we can’t say for sure if his fur will fully grow back, one thing is certain—his love for attention more than makes up for it!
Because of his medical needs, he would do best in a quiet, child-free home where he can relax and enjoy life at his own pace. He also prefers to be the only cat in the home—after all, he loves having all the attention to himself!
When you’re around, Barry will eagerly tap around the room, waiting for you to settle in so he can soak up all the affection. Once you do, he’ll make sure you know just how much he appreciates it with plenty of snuggles and purrs.
Barry is ready to bring love and companionship into the right home. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate cat with a heart of gold, Barry might be your perfect match. Learn more about Barry here.
Pluto: The resilient lionhead ready for a fresh start
Say hello to Pluto, a brave Lionhead rabbit who has overcome incredible challenges and is now seeking a loving forever home. Recently discovered to be vision-impaired, Pluto doesn’t let her blindness stop her from living life to the fullest. This special girl needs a caring family who understands her unique needs.
Pluto came into our care through Animal Protection Services after being abandoned and confined to a poor-quality hutch for years. The lack of stimulation led to cage biting, leaving her with square indents in her teeth. Thankfully, with a nutritious diet and the freedom to explore, her dental health is on the mend and will improve with time.
Now spayed, vaccinated, and healthy, Pluto has faced some tough experiences with an earlier bonded mate, so we’re not sure if she’s ready to share her space with another rabbit just yet. What she needs most now is a nurturing home where she can feel safe, loved, and cherished.
With her resilient spirit and gentle nature, Pluto is ready to find a family who will help her thrive in a warm and supportive environment. If you’re looking for a special companion to shower with love and affection, Pluto might just be the perfect match for you! Come meet her and give this sweet girl the fresh start she truly deserves.

Henry: A big heart in search of a loving home
Henry is a sweet and resilient pup who has been through a lot, but his loving nature remains as strong as ever. Friendly, affectionate, and always eager for company, Henry is a true cuddle bug—he’ll happily nuzzle up for pets and isn’t shy about asking for more with an adorable nudge or paw.
This playful boy is full of life and thrives on companionship, both human and canine. While he sometimes forgets his size, continued training will help reinforce his manners. Henry does have a high prey drive, so he’ll do best in a home that understands his energy and instincts. That said, his gentle nature shines through, making him a wonderful match for families with children.
Henry has been waiting for a family who can give him the love, stability, and care he deserves. Could that be you? Explore a life with Henry here.
