We knew this special girl simply had to have a little patience before her perfect forever family would come along and fall head over heels in love with her! With her larger-than-life purr-sonality and striking good looks, Tiffany was impossible to forget. We weren't surprised in the least when her future family came by to meet her and were immediately smitten, completely charmed by her floofy coat and princess cat-titude. From the very start, they understood that Tiffany is the star of every show and the center of attention in every room she enters. Most importantly, they saw what we have always loved about her: a wonderfully affectionate, cuddly girl who thrives when her boundaries are respected and her royal rules are observed.
We're so happy to hear that she is settling in splendidly, instantly falling into place as the princess of her new kingdom, and reigning over her adoring people from the comfort of bed with them 🧡

We are pleased to announce that Tiffany found their forever home on Oct 24, 2026.

Happy Wednesday from Peach, now Olivia! Olivia recently celebrated her 1 Year Adoption Anniversary, and it’s beyond clear this girly is living her very best life!

“Olivia has enjoyed so many moments this year. We celebrated her 1st gotcha day anniversary, and her 4th birthday. For those, she enjoyed some (unseasoned) salmon, steak, berries and peanut butter!

She’s been in girls mountain trips, enjoyed some lake time, and made so many new friends. Mostly human (or belly rubbers, as she likes to think of us), but some dogs too - which makes me proud! She gets out of her shell more and more each day :)

Enjoy some pics! The camera absolutely loves her, and so do I, with my whole heart.”

Hi there, I'm Coraline. Mama of the "Coraline" litter of kittens, I'm just a spunky young thing myself! Now that my babes are old enough to adventure on their own, I'm finally ready to live the kittenhood I never had, full of curiosity, wonder, and definitely lots of snuggles!Much like my storybook namesake, I believe every closed door is worth investigating, every new room deserves a thorough inspection, and every person is simply a friend I haven't charmed yet. Whether I'm following you from room to room, supervising your daily activities, or curling up for a cozy cuddle after a big adventure, I'm happiest when I'm part of the action. Don't worry, though. Unlike some mysterious feline companions, I promise I won't lead you through a secret passage to another world. The only magic you'll find with me is a loud purr, an affectionate head bump, and enough love to make your home feel enchanted every day.Dog-friendly: Untested, likely okayCat-friendly: YesKid-friendly: YesDo I Need Special Care?: No

We have several sweet new kitty faces at the Adoption Centre! Although this crew is a bit more on the shy side at first meet, they are lovely cats who with a gentle approach and perhaps some snacks, will blossom into loving companions. Come down to see them this week!

Equal parts spunky and sweet, we’re so excited for this sweet pup to start her new adventures in her forever home! Already, Dixie has fit right into her new home.

We’re so happy for this boisterous girl!

The Wednesday we’ve all been waiting for - Daisy dog! This spunky girl spent 3 years at the Bow Valley SPCA, and we weren’t even the first shelter she’d been to. While we loved her to bits, we were overjoyed when this bundle of love found her happy ending, after waiting so long.

But as with many adoptions, and especially when adopting a longterm resident, it’s not always sunshine and rainbows right away. It takes rescue animals days, weeks, months, and sometimes even longer to truly settle into their new homes, and we urge adopters to understand just how critical this decompression period is. Luckily for Daisy, despite some initial challenges, her amazing family stuck by her, and now report that she’s doing amazing! 🧡

“We just recently had our 3 month anniversary with Daisy, and every day Daisy is showing us more and more her sweet, sassy personality. We had some difficult moments in the beginning, but she has made unimaginable strides, especially over the last month. 

Daisy is a super home body, and loves her comfy queen sized bed where she watches the school kids out the window and takes all day sun naps. Her barking in the house has almost completely stopped, and she just loves being the house hippo we believed she could be. 

Daisy is the ultimate cuddle bug, and recently showed us her skills taking care of us when we are sick - she is a professional small spoon and knows when to be a sweet, scrungly girl. 

Daisy continues everyday to show us her boundaries. We are working on expanding her exposure to busier spots in the city, but we are working in baby steps as too much excitement really gets her too pumped - we started small with our walks, and worked up as she was ready. We are excited to being able to take her more and more places, but at her pace. 

Daisy has a nightly routine of a dental chewy treat which she never skips, and always runs as fast as she can upstairs to get to her kennel to (im)patiently sit and wait for her treat delivery. 

Daisy has become a member of our family, and we like to think she does our late dog Franny proud - she left big shoes to fill, but Daisy wears those shoes proudly everyday.”

🐾 WE NEED YOUR VOTE! 🐾

The Bow Valley SPCA has applied to the Field Law Community Fund Program for funding to support our Spay Neuter Assistance Program, and you can help by casting your vote!

Our Spay Neuter Assistance Program helps make spay and neuter services more accessible to pet owners who may be facing financial barriers.

And now we need our community behind us! Voting is open until November 21, and every vote helps demonstrate how important this program is to our community. Public votes are one of the factors considered by Field Law’s judging panels when selecting funding recipients.
