Sumi available for adoption

Sumi of the : Adoptable from Foster

Sumi is a tiny blossom shadow, soft and sleek in her black fur with just a few whimsical white hairs sprinkled through like stars — plus a secret little white patch on her lower tummy that only her favorite humans get to see.

She may be the smallest of the bunch, but she plays with the heart of a lion cub, keeping up with her brothers.

She adores being part of the exclusive girls club with her sister Sakura, the two of them drifting around together like twin petals — one dark, one light — exploring, observing, and plotting gentle mischief.

Sumi is tender, sweet, and wonderfully friendly, just a touch shy at first. But the moment you start scratching her cheeks or rubbing behind her ears, she melts. Truly melts. She flops onto her side like a tiny ink-blossom puddle, purring softly and soaking up every bit of love you offer.

She’s gentle, playful, and full of quiet charm — a little blossom girl who may be small, but fills every space with warmth.

Momo available for adoption

Momo of the : Adoptable from Foster

Momo is an orange bullseye-tabby blossom of bold charm, a little chunkier than his blossom siblings and absolutely rocking it. With his warm swirls of orange and white and his drop-dead gorgeous face, he walks around like he knows he’s the showstopper — because he is.

He greets you the moment you enter the room, calling for your attention with his beautiful little meow and trotting over like he’s been waiting all day just for you. Then comes the signature Momo hello: a confident, full-body rub against your legs, followed by a purr so steady it feels like he’s powering the whole house.

Momo loves to make eye contact — the soft, intentional kind that feels like he’s letting you in on a secret — and he melts when you pet him under his chin. That’s his weakness. That’s his bliss. That’s his “I love you, human” moment.

He’s full of energy and loves playing with the girls, bouncing around with friendly enthusiasm before flopping down beside you like the affectionate blossom he is.

Momo isn’t just loving — he radiates love, warmth, and joy in every direction.
Whoever adopts Momo is getting a confident, cuddly, endlessly affectionate companion who fills every room with purrs, sweetness, and sunshine.

Kiko available for adoption

Kiko available for adoption

Kiko of the : Adoptable from Foster

Kiko is a confident little blossom of kindness and charm, a handsome bullseye tabby who carries himself with the quiet swagger of a kitten who knows he’s unforgettable. He’s curious in the most endearing way — always investigating, always learning, always convinced the next great discovery is just one pawstep away.
He adores his female foster mom and the moment she sits, he’s in her lap; the moment she enters the room, he’s calling for her with that sweet, melodic meow that could melt stone. And when he settles in, he settles — warm, soft, and certain he belongs right there.

Kiko is silly and funny in the best ways, a great climber who scales cat trees like a tiny mountaineer with big dreams. He loves traveling around with his brother Momo, the two of them toddling along like a pair of blossom-themed troublemakers on a mission.

A window-watcher and tiny bird-dreamer,  he’ll sit perched like a little blossom prince, tail curled neatly, studying the outside world with quiet fascination. And when he’s not gazing at birds, he’s seeking out affection — especially cheek scratches. Those are his weakness. Those are his bliss.
He’s cuddly, loving, curious, and wonderfully expressive — a little blossom boy who fills every moment with warmth, humor, and sweetness.

Hana now available for adoption

** Adopted at Bosley’s North Nanaimo **

Hana of the : Adoptable from Foster

Hana is a light-orange-and-white creamsicle blossom of a kitten — soft, fluffy, and full of joyful, playful sparkle that bursts into the room ahead of him. He’s rambunctious in the sweetest way, always ready to pounce, bounce, and turn life into a tiny celebration.

And when he’s not zooming?
He’s purring. Constantly. Loudly. Happily. Hana talks to you in his sweet little kitten voice like he’s narrating his whole day, offering commentary, updates, and the occasional heartfelt “mrrrp.”

Then, just like a blossom drifting gently to rest, he melts into nap mode — a warm, cuddly cloud who wants nothing more than to curl up right beside you. Being near you is his favorite place in the world.

Whoever adopts Hana is getting the perfect blend of playful energy, soft snuggles, nonstop purrs, and affectionate greetings — a little blossom who brightens every moment.

Our former foster kitten available for adoption.

Our former foster kitten available for adoption.

Sakura of the : Adoptable from Foster

Sakura is a soft, fluffy little blossom of sweetness, as light and lovely as a cherry petal drifting on a warm breeze. She may be gentle, but don’t let that fool you — she keeps up with her siblings with quiet determination, tiny paws pattering right alongside theirs as she explores her world with growing confidence.

She’s the perfect blend of curiosity and tenderness. One moment she’s investigating a new corner with bright, thoughtful eyes, and the next she’s melting into your hands with the softest, warmest affection. Every day she grows braver, sweeter, and more connected to her humans, blooming a little more with each sunrise.

And then there’s her signature charm: a tiny beauty mark, her own little Cindy-Crawford-dot that makes her look effortlessly elegant even when she’s tumbling after her siblings. It’s impossible not to fall in love with her.

Sakura is gentle, loving, and full of quiet wonder — a little blossom girl who brings softness, warmth, and a touch of magic to every moment.

The are all grown up. Now 3 months of age, they are spayed and neutered and looking for forever homes.

The kittens, along with some adult cats, will be at an adoption event at Bosely's North Nanaimo on Saturday, June 20th. Please come and meet the kittens in person and learn about each kitten's personality before asking about adoption.

More information about their individual profiles is coming soon.

Please note that no kittens will be available until applications have been reviewed and the best possible homes have been selected.

It is so important to regularly monitor the weight of neonatal kittens, as their condition can change so quickly. Although very small, Momma Felicity has always been a devoted mom. I noticed last weekend that two of the kittens were starting to fall behind in weight.

I started supplementing their meals with kitten replacement formula. At the same time, I noticed diarrhea in their nest. These secretions occurred between Felicity's cleanings of the kittens.

The two smallest kittens were given SQ fluids to support them while we worked to increase their weight, followed by a third kitten who began to slip behind.

Felicity has had diarrhea since she first came into care three weeks ago. Given her unknown food source, the switch to high-quality kitten food, this was not unexpected. She had also just given birth to 5 kittens and would have ingested all the placentas.

After a vet exam with Gulf Island Veterinary Clinic, she appears to be about 3-4 years old, small and definitely underweight (2.83 kg). It was hard to hear her heart because her purrs were so loud. A f***l test has come back negative for parasites, so we are proceeding to treat her gastrointestinal issues with a diet change. Felicity and the kittens will receive additional parasite treatment, and I will continue to supplement all kittens as needed and monitor their weight several times a day.

Meet Honey & Crisp – Please share and help us find them a home.

Honey and Crisp are two adorable older kittens searching for a family willing to give them a little time and understanding. Both are timid around new people and loud noises, preferring to observe from a safe distance at first. New situations can be a bit overwhelming, but beneath their cautious exteriors are affectionate, curious kittens waiting to blossom.

Once they feel comfortable, their true personalities begin to shine. One of their favourite pastimes is sitting by the window, watching birds and other outdoor activities. They are also enthusiastic helpers when work needs to be done, happily climbing onto a desk to supervise emails, paperwork, or whatever their foster parents are working on.

In a calm, predictable environment, Honey and Crisp continue to gain confidence and reveal more of their sweet personalities each day. Watching them learn to trust and grow comfortable with their people is incredibly rewarding. Food is the way to their hearts; both kittens enjoy treats and quickly climb into a familiar lap.

Honey and Crisp are seeking a patient home where they can settle at their own pace and celebrate each small step forward. If you're looking for a pair of gentle companions and understand that the best relationships sometimes take a little time to develop, these special kittens may be the perfect match.

Please help us find the perfect home for these two special kittens. With patience, understanding, and love, Honey and Crisp will reward their family with a truly special bond.

Champ: Adoptable at Bosley’s North Nanaimo

Champ really lives to his name — in fact, he’s so committed to being a winner that he treats everyday life like his own personal championship tournament.

Here’s his highlight reel:
Champ is the undisputed Cuddleweight Champion of the World, known for his signature move: the Lap Flop. One second you’re minding your business, the next you’ve been lovingly body-slammed by a bundle of purring determination. Resistance is futile. He will snuggle. You will accept it.

When he’s not perfecting his gold-medal snuggle routine, he’s busy training for the Kitten Comedy Cup, performing high-energy antics, surprise zoomies, and interpretive dance routines that absolutely must mean something. He’s hilarious, he knows it, and he expects applause.

Despite being the “big guy in town” (in his mind, at least), Champ is shockingly polite. He shares food like a gentleman, plays beautifully with the other foster kittens, and carries himself with the confidence of someone who has already prepared his acceptance speech for “Best Boy, 2026.”

This friendly, fearless, outrageously charming kitten would thrive with other cats or as the solo superstar in a home full of adoring humans. Truly, whoever adopts Champ isn’t just getting a pet — they’re taking home the Grand Prize of All Prizes.
And honestly? He’ll expect a trophy.
