🐈‍⬛🐾The last money cat has left the building !!! Rial was with us for 10 months and was the shy one of her group… She showed a sweet and loving side to the people she knew , but it was hard to find someone willing to take a chance on this seemingly “introverted” kitty. This week the stars aligned , and Rial got to go home with one of our previous adopters who is experienced in working with shy cats. We could not be happier or more grateful for this outcome and we know Rial has an awesome life ahead.

Happy Trails Rial, Katie’s Place loves you 💘🏡

💜She is a lady that can press into the best kitty loaf you’ve ever seen (we’re talking Guinness Book of World Records level), and she has many more hidden talents that she is waiting to show to her new future family … Margot is ready to find her furrever !!!!

🏡Ms Margot lived her life in a complicated home situation with 58 other cats. Sadly all of those cats were surrendered when the previous owner could no longer care for them , and Katie’s Place agreed to take in the seniors from that group which totalled about 12 cats (Margot being one of them). Aside from being underweight and a few of them having overgrooming patches, they were all in good physical health !! They were however quite under socialized , and very scared of people for their first few months with us.

🐈‍⬛11 year old Margot has now been here 5 months, and while she is still shy she now spends her time out and about as compared to hiding in a cubby. She welcomes pets from us with a slow and gentle approach, and is blossoming into her confidence more and more each day. Margot will need a quiet adult only home that will have patience with her as she transitions into her new space. We would love to see her be adopted with one of the cats she arrived with, but she is not particularly attached to any of them. She does need a cat friend and can not be a single cat.

🧶Margot uses her litterbox well, and all around has excellent manners. She’ll never swipe or scratch , she will just retreat if she’s feeling overwhelmed. This sweetheart deserves a loving home to live out her golden years in , and we won’t rest until we’ve found that for her !!! Come visit Margot on Saturday and Sunday from 12-2pm.

✨My own baby boys doppelgänger found a furrever home and we couldn’t be happier !!! Parson was an absolute darling from the very first day he arrived, and we know he is going to bring so much love and joy to his new family. We will miss Parson very much as we do for all of our cats who move on to bigger better things, but we know he is in the best of hands and is going to have a wonderful life from here on out.

Happy Trails Parson, Katie’s Place loves you 🏡💙

ADOPTION APPROVED-💙Mr Belvedere came to us unexpectedly as an unfixed male in need of medical attention. We had set a trap in an attempt to help a local family catch their escaped indoor cat , imagine our surprise when this big boy stumbled into our set up !!! But , we aren’t the type to turn away a cat in need. So we took him to the vet and got him fixed up, and thus he became a member of the KP family.

🌳Despite his fancy Maine C**n genes and looks, it is evident from his behavior that he likely hasn’t had a loving family before. At first he was aggressive , and would lash out. After we had him neutered and his hormones settled down , he became a lot less agitated but still remains very scared!!! After two months with us we know Mr Belvedere to be a gentle giant with a heart of gold, who is learning to trust more and more each day.

🐾He doesn’t quite allow pets yet, but he is very curious and likes to sniff our hands. We are sure with more work and patience he will continue to open up and is likely to blossom into a lovely companion with time !! A cat savvy home with no kids is a must for Mr Belvedere. He also likes to spend his time cuddling up to other cats in his room. For this reason he MUST have another friendly cat in his future home … Prefferably a cat that also wants a friend and won’t just “tolerate” him as a room mate.

✨Maybe it’s because of his looks, or his breed, but we have had a ton of interest in this dashing fella. While we do admit he is incredibly handsome , we want someone who is willing to see beyond his looks and pedigree and understand that while he is a sweet boy he is not yet ready to be a lapcat. We would love it if someone experienced in working with shy cats would take a chance on him !!!

💕He is in good health and uses his litterbox well, he doesn’t love the hustle bustle of open house so he would do best in an after hours visit with potential adopters. Feel free to reach out for more info !!

💕She may look like she double shampoos, deep conditions, and gets a blowout once a week… But Jazzy B is an all natural beauty who turns heads everywhere she goes. And the best part ?? She’s got a 10/10 personality to match those glorious good looks she’s been so blessed with !!

🏡At 8 years old , Jazzy B was surrendered when her owner had to move. She has settled into the shelter nicely and now fully welcomes all the affection and attention we can give her !!! She would make an excellent lap cat in a quiet and calm home. She is very gentle and wouldn’t hurt a fly , but would probably prefer an adult only home that just wants to chill out on the couch !!

💘She has no health concerns and uses her litterbox purrrfectly. She does need regular brushing to keep that stunning lions mane in tip top shape, but luckily she really enjoys brushing time and doesn’t object to this part of her care at all.

🐾She gets along with other calm cats but can also live as the solo kitty in a home. She seeks out human companionship more so than that of other cats, so as long as she gets lots of love from her future family she will be happy!!! Come visit the lovely Jazzy B on Saturday and Sunday from 12-2pm!!

🦋Today , we had a very special arrival land at Katie’s Place. Our lovely senior persian , Gina, has had a rough few months… She was found as a stray wandering around a neighbourhood. A kindhearted couple that was experienced in owning Persians took her in as they felt she wouldn’t survive outside (they were definitely right). The first thing they did was take her to the vet for an exam and medical diagnostics to get a picture of the type of care Gina would need.

🏡Sadly , that was the point where the vet informed them Gina had severe cancer of the liver that was deemed inoperable 💔. They did their best to care for this sweetheart , but after a few months of trying to integrate Gina in with their resident cat it was decided that the existing cat would prefer to be an “only fur child”.

💜Her finders did their research, and reached out to us after learning we are a strictly no kill shelter !!! They asked us to find Gina a loving home , and that’s exactly what we intend to do. Due to her condition Gina is eligible for our permanent foster program , meaning we will cover her medical bills for life as long as she is brought to our vet clinics in Maple Ridge. Currently she is not on any medication for her condition , and just needs someone to make sure she is eating and drinking. Although as her condition progresses, she will likely need medication in the future. She loves to snuggle up to you and be pet , but she is sensitive on her stomach area due to her tumours. She also has some tight mattes in this area which are being shaved off.

✨She is a lovely girl with a winning personality , and we hope we can find her a quiet and cat savvy home where she can be doted on for her remaining time , however long that may be. She only arrived today , but we would like to find her a home as soon as possible .

🌳Please feel free to reach out for more information about Gina. As a fellow Gina , I feel very qualified to speak on other Gina’s 😉

✨Our silky baby had a short stay at Katie’s Place , and she is already blossoming into her new home !! Silk was another kitty that got a ton of interest from potential applicants, but we made sure to select a patient and cat savvy home that had experience with Persian cats. Persians aren’t just pretty , they have unique care requirements as well !! We know Silk is going to receive the best love and care possible and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Happy Trails Silk, Katie’s Place loves you 💜🏡

💙Our 8 year old Russian Blue boy Roquefort came to us a month ago now, and initially he was completely devastated. He curled up in a ball in the back of his carrier, trying to slither under any blanket or bed he possibly could. He has come quite far since then and does spend time out and about in his room. He welcomes affection from us and enjoys being pet and brushed!!

🐾Roquefort was surrendered when his owner could no longer handle his medical issues… Oddly enough , after having him to our vet for full diagnostics his reported diabetes and urinary crystals somehow had miraculously resolved. We still keep him on a urinary diet as a precaution , and we would like this to continue in his future home!!

🌳Roquefort would love a quiet and calm home where he can chill all day !!! He’s not particularly active although he could stand to lose a few pounds !! Mostly he just wants to hang out with his future best friend , crush out all the Harry Potter movies in one night , and live the slow and easy life …

🏡He uses his litter box well and is a very clean and tidy gentleman. We know he will be the happiest and most loving boy once he finds his furrever home !! Roquefort would not like living with young children, and would prefer to be an only cat… Come visit him Saturday and Sunday from 12-2pm.

🐱Facebook … We are looooong overdue for an introduction to our incredibly gorgeous Boys Pen resident, Capone!!!! He’s an orange creamsicle dream, he’s an unsung hero of KP cat shelter … This hunk is the rock in the storm for many shy cats who have crossed the doors of Katie’s Place !!!

🩵2 year old Capone has lived a rough life , as is evident by the “frowny face” he is sometimes known to don. He lived as a feral cat that was brought in to a municipal animal shelter for medical attention (and a long overdue neuter), once he was all healed he was transferred to Katie’s Place in the hopes that we would be able to find him a loving home !!

🏡Cut forward 6 months later, and Capone has done wonders for the confidence of other shy boys pen cats. We might go days/weeks barely seeing a cat… Until suddenly , we start seeing them every day (Always with Capone). They found their confidence through his guidance, and all got to a point where they were adopted out into loving homes. Most recently, his OG buddy Lennon got adopted !!!! Although Capone is still very nervous and shy himself, he lends a paw to his shelter mates who are a bit more shell shocked than him. And through this process , he furthers his own confidence every day !! He now enjoys the company of the volunteers he knows, and even allows pets from time to time!!

💕Capone has seen many of his friends go to loving homes, and now we think it’s his turn !!! Capone needs a patient and cat savvy family with no children. We have seen it happen time and time again, when these shy boys are given a shot they show a sweet and soft side you’d never even have imagined. He has a clean bill of health , uses his litter box well , now he just needs someone patient to give him a chance. A cat friend is a must for Capone as well !!!

🍊Capone doesn’t do well in the hustle bustle of open house , so feel free to reach out to book an after hours appointment for potential adopters.

🦋Princess Natalie has arrived and she is in full tortitude bloom !!! She has now been with us for 3 weeks and she has made the most of her time at KP. As a former street cat , she is now relishing in the endless food , cuddles and attention she is receiving at the shelter !!!

🍊She is a perfectly polite little lady that has impeccable manners … But the classic tortoiseshell spice does come into play when other cats come near. For that reason, Natalie would prefer to be the only fur child in a safe indoor only home. She is only 1-2 years old and has a clean bill of health , so hopefully she has a long life of loving companionship ahead !!! Natalie loves being pet, and enjoys curling up next to you on the couch while you read a book. She is not super active but does enjoy the odd play session !!!

💕Due to her gentle and friendly nature , Natalie would do well with respectful children. She can not live with dogs. She uses her litter box purrrfectly, and is ready to hightail it out of the shelter and into her dream home !!! Shelter life is hard for the kitties that don’t like other cats , so we’re hoping a “knight in shining armor” will come whisk her away soon !!

🏡She has all the love in the world to give , and she’ll prove it to you !! Come visit Natalie on Saturday and Sunday from 12-2pm.

💕Our blue moon kitten had a short stay of less than 24 hours before being whisked off to her happily ever after. We had a TON of enquiries about this little lady, so we had our pick of homes to send her too. Some of you may be wondering how we chose one out of so many applicants …

💜A couple of things we looked for in Poptarts case was a home that was willing and able to feed a good quality nutritious food to support her ongoing growth and development. We also looked for someone with the financial means to handle any potential medical bills that may arise during the hopefully long life Poptart has ahead. We also wanted her to have a friendly cat companion for her ongoing socialization, which is so important for young cats !!!!

🏡And finally , we chose someone who didn’t JUST want a kitten. They wanted the right fit, regardless of what age that cat may be. The applicant we selected had also reached out about one of our older cats in need a few months ago, so we knew she wasn’t just picking young and pretty.

✨Some people weren’t happy that they weren’t chosen, and that’s fine by me. All of us at Katies Place will sleep well tonight knowing we did right by Poptart and chose her the best loving home to suit her needs for her whole life, and not just in the kitten stage.

Happy Trails Poptart, Katie’s Place loves you 🏡❤️
