At the BC SPCA, we believe every companion animal of any age deserves a place that feels like home. Seniors are often passed over in favor of younger pets, yet they bring so much to the table: calm companionship, a known personality, and the gift of being loved through their golden years.
Here are three wonderful senior animals currently looking for their forever homes across British Columbia. Could this November be the start of something special?
A Happily Ever After with Chleo
Chleo is the sweetest girl! Understandably, she was initially very sad and shut down in shelter after her lifelong owner had passed away. But with some time in foster, her charming personality has come out. She’s now friendly and a polite and gentle companion! She has a small, growly meow and enjoys talking to you. She loves pets and brushes and will climb under the covers to cuddle. She’s still playful and energetic when going about her kitty day and even gets occasional zoomies. This resilient kitty still has so much love to give! Chleo has had bloodwork and a check up and is ready to find her forever home. She would do well in a quiet, indoor-only space. If you’re looking for a cute and loving little friend, Chleo could be for you!

Meet Buttercream: A Charming Feline Companion
Meet Buttercream, a charming feline companion seeking her forever home. At approximately 13 years old, Buttercream brings a wealth of experience and love to any household. Despite her mature age, her heart is still filled with affection and warmth, ready to be shared with her new family.
Buttercream’s journey to finding her forever home hasn’t been without its challenges. She was surrendered due to not getting along with other cats, which makes her an ideal fit for a single-pet household where she can reign as the centre of attention. However, don’t let this deter you – Buttercream’s amiable nature makes her the perfect companion for any loving individual or family.
One aspect that requires special attention is Buttercream’s weight. She’s currently overweight, and her new family will need to be committed to providing her with a veterinarian recommended diet and an exercise plan to support her weight loss journey. With dedication and care, Buttercream will thrive and regain her vitality, ready to enjoy many more years of companionship.
Despite her weight, Buttercream is a sweet lady who adores affectionate gestures, especially being brushed. Grooming may require a bit of extra attention due to her weight, but this is a small price to pay for the joy and love she brings into your life.
If you’re looking for a loving companion to join your family, Buttercream might just be the perfect match. With her gentle demeanour and affectionate nature, she’s sure to bring endless joy and companionship to her forever home. Come meet Buttercream today and welcome her into your heart and home!
