When we’re looking to adopt a pet, something we don’t automatically consider is whether they’ll love us right away too! Merle was looking to find that mutual connection about a year after losing her previous cat. She missed having that bond with a special feline in her life. Then, one day in February 2019 at …
Life has a habit of not always going to plan. When Sophia gained a newfound independence and started volunteering at the BC SPCA West Kootenay Community Animal Centre, she wasn’t expecting to invite a four-legged companion into her life so quickly—perhaps a cat, but certainly not a dog just yet. In late 2018, Louis, a …

When we welcome cats into our lives, one thing becomes particularly clear—their personality. Just like humans, every animal has an individual character of their own. We just have to spend some time with them to discover their traits. In fact, it was Nero’s nature that caught Tara’s attention right from the moment she stepped into …
Guinea pigs make incredible companions—not only are they affectionate, intelligent and playful, but they’re so much fun to be around. They also love to have piggy companions of their own, so we did not want to split up this bonded pair of pigs. One day in July 2018, a woman named Natashia visited the BC …

When we know it’s a match made to be, we’ll do what it takes to make that “purrfect” companion become a part of our lives. When Rebecca and her family were looking for a new cat to join them, they came across Snowball (then known as Precious) on the BC SPCA’s website. From reading her …
