How incredibly sad for his family and the rescue community.

I am devastated to hear this sad news about Jesse from RainCoast Dog Rescue Society . Losing someone who dedicated so much of their life and heart to fighting for vulnerable animals is a deep loss for the entire rescue community and everyone whose life he touched.

​Jesse’s passion, unwavering advocacy, and tireless dedication made a real, lasting impact for so many animals in need. That kind of legacy and fierce devotion leaves an unforgettable mark.

​Sending strength, comfort, and deep condolences to his family, friends, and the entire Raincoast Rescue team as they navigate this painful time.

After an exhausting kitten season filled with heartbreaking losses and so many incredible successes, we’re taking a short break to rest, recharge, and reflect.

Today, we’re remembering two precious kittens from the . Sadly, Twilight, a tuxedo female, was born deceased, and Sunset, a ginger male, passed away shortly after birth.

While our hearts ache for them, we’re holding on to the joy of knowing that the remaining six kittens are healthy and ready to find their forever homes!

Every kitten’s journey takes a village, and we are so grateful for the incredible people who step up to help these little ones along the way.

A very special, heartfelt thank you to Sharon, their second foster mom, for the continued love, care, and dedication she’s given these kittens. Sharon welcomed them into her home and heart, helped them through the final leg of their foster journey, and got them ready for their next big adventure.

Though we wish all eight kittens could have made it, we will cherish the memory of the two little ones we lost and celebrate the six who have grown, thrived, and are ready for the next chapter of their lives.

Cyrus - name means heir to the throne. Funny thing, though, we found out he is a she before neuter surgery!

Adopted with Phoenix.

Cyrus may be the tiniest of the Golden Hour Kittens, but she has one of the biggest personalities.

This confident little kitten greets everyone as a friend. She’s extra special because orange female cats are much less common than orange males (only 20% of gingers), which is why we originally named her Cyrus before we discovered she was a girl!

Affectionate, outgoing, and endlessly curious, Cyrus loves to play, whether she’s chasing her siblings or entertaining herself. She's especially fascinated by rings, earrings, bracelets, and anything shiny she can gently nibble on.

Friendly with children and adults alike, she’s always ready for an adventure or a new friend.

When playtime is over, Cyrus is happiest curled up in a warm lap, purring away for hours. Sweet, cuddly, and full of love, this tiny girl is proof that the smallest kittens can leave the biggest pawprints on your heart. 🧡

Solstice - when the sun stands still

Adopted

Solstice is a stunning fluffy tortoiseshell girl whose coat looks like a work of art, painted with beautiful splashes of colour and wrapped in the softest fur imaginable.

One of Solstice’s sweetest traits is her love of being close to her people. Whether perched on your shoulders or curled up on your chest, she’ll gaze lovingly into your eyes while purring away in complete contentment. She enjoys bursts of playful kitten energy, chasing toys and romping with her siblings, but she’s just as happy to sit back and observe the chaos with quiet curiosity.

Occasionally, Solstice may seem a bit reserved when meeting new people, taking her time to decide whether you’re worthy of her affection. Once you’ve passed inspection, though, she’ll happily rub against you and ask for all the love and attention she can get.

Gentle, tender, and endlessly charming, Solstice blends sweetness with personality. True to her tortoiseshell heritage, she comes with a sprinkle of sass and a healthy appreciation for being treated like the tiny princess she knows she is. 💗

The will be at Bosley’s North Nanaimo on Sunday, October 18.

If you can't meet the kittens on October 18, they will be available to meet in Nanaimo at their foster home.

Leo - his name is associated with strength and bravery

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Leo is the golden lion of the Golden Hour Kittens: fluffy, handsome, and wrapped in a soft creamsicle-coloured coat that’s impossible to resist.

Thoughtful, observant, and quietly dignified, Leo prefers to take in the world before jumping into it. He may not be the first to greet a newcomer, but he’s always watching from nearby, patiently waiting for his siblings to take their turn in the spotlight.
Once Leo decides it’s his turn for affection, you’ll quickly discover what a devoted sweetheart he is.

Leo’s favourite place in the world is stretched across a warm lap, contentedly soaking up attention as his eyes slowly drift closed in the most noble, peaceful way. Beneath his calm exterior is a kitten with an enormous capacity for love and companionship.

Leo also has a playful side and often chases and bats his beloved tube toy across the room for surprisingly long stretches. Gentle, affectionate, and full of quiet charm, Leo is the perfect match for someone looking for a kitten who brings both playfulness and a wonderfully calming presence.

Kittens this age, who have always had siblings to play and cuddle with, need to be adopted in pairs OR into a family that already has a friendly young cat.

The will be at Bosley’s North Nanaimo on Sunday, October 18.

If you can't meet the kittens on October 18, they will be available to meet at their foster home in Nanaimo.

Phoenix - a name that symbolizes rebirth and resilience

Adopted with Cyrus

If there were an award for friendliness, Phoenix would win it paws down.

While all of his siblings are wonderfully social, Phoenix is always the first to greet someone new, convinced that every person he meets is a friend he simply hasn’t met yet.

Confident, funny, and endlessly curious, he’s ready to take on the world one adventure at a time.

Phoenix is also famous for his unique habit of enthusiastically licking fingers, earning him the affectionate nickname “Lickity Split.” When he’s not making people laugh with his quirky charm, he’s usually off to kitten-sized mischief with his brother Soren or playing with his beloved siblings. Full of energy and personality, he brings joy and excitement wherever he goes.

Beneath his playful antics is a wonderfully gentle and cuddly soul. Phoenix loves spending hours curled up on a lap, soaking up affection, or being carried around like the baby he knows he is. Sweet, affectionate, and overflowing with love,
Phoenix is the kind of kitten who turns everyone he meets into a lifelong fan. 🖤

Kittens this age, who have always had siblings to play and cuddle with, need to be adopted in pairs OR into a family that already has a friendly young cat.

Flint - a spark that evokes fire

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Flint is a truly striking boy. One of the three orange kittens in the litter, his coat carries beautiful undertones of rust and silver-grey that make him especially handsome.

As the biggest of the bunch, Flint has a calm, steady presence. Sophisticated, swoon-worthy, and endlessly gentle, he has a quiet confidence that draws people in.

Flint adores his siblings and often curls up beside them for a cozy nap, or relaxes peacefully in his favourite kitty tent tower.

Like his brother Soren, Flint loves to burrow into your side, purring contentedly while soaking up affection. Sweet and loving, he has a way of making every cuddle feel special.

Don’t let his calm demeanour fool you, though. When his favourite bird-on-a-string toy comes out, Flint transforms into an acrobatic superstar! Leaping high into the air and showing off impressive twists and flips, he throws himself into playtime with surprising enthusiasm. Equal parts gentle companion and playful athlete, Flint is a truly special kitten who will bring both comfort and joy to his forever family. 🧡
