Sid & Nancy came into GVAC’s care from the CRD.  They were from a litter of kittens that someone had found on their property. They needed to be socialized and have a warm place to be kittens again, so their foster mom and dad, Taylor & Dale took them in.  Nancy is still skittish, but is learning to enjoy playing and being petted by humans and she has come along a bit further than Sid at this point.  Every day she makes progress and her foster parents feel that she is ready for adoption.  She will need patience and loving care to help her continue to come out of her shell.

Update from Sid & Nancy’s foster mom on November 21, 2011:

Nancy likes pets but still leans away sometimes until she realizes that you’re just being nice.

Tonight they were both curling onto their sides like kittens trying to entice your hand to pet them before they playfully attack and allowed me to pet their backs.

Nancy has been spayed, fully vaccinated, treated for worms and fleas, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. If you would like to adopt Nancy, please fill out our application here:GVAC Cat Adoption Form or you can email us for more information: info@animalcrusaders.ca

Sid is still a bit shy and he does like to swat at your hand and curiously nibble it.

Millie is a very social rabbit with a sweet disposition.  When in the cage, she can be a little more shy but flourishes when out of the cage.  She is curious about new people and things.  She loves to be petted and held.

Update from Millie’s Foster Mom, November 2011:

My two foster bunnies Darla and Millie. Litter trained and sweet as bunnies can be. Consider adopting a rabbit as they really are a great pet!  Both bunnies now come running to me when I let them out of their cage, they really have come out of their shells!

Darla is a sweet but shy girl.  She tends to regard things from a distance but LOVES to be petted and have her ears rubbed when you do hold her.  With the love and attention she so deserves, she will flourish.

Meet Ben. Ben was previously adopted out, but has come back into our care as he is quite rough and tumble when he plays with the other cats. So, we now have him back and we must now say that Ben would do best as an only cat…. unless you have a cat that likes to roughhouse and play hard like he does. Ben is a very social boy and is now coming up close to 2 years old! He’s very friendly, outgoing, good with kids, but just not so great with other cats. He could probably do okay with a dog if introduced properly. Ben absolutely loves to be around people and really thrives on attention from them, so any home wanting to adopt Ben must be willing to love him lots and pay attention to him!!

Ben is neutered, fully vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and has been treated for worms and fleas. If you would like to adopt Ben, please fill out our application here: GVAC Cat Adoption Formor email us for more information: info@animalcrusaders.ca

Simba Update – September, 2011

Simba is a big lynx point Siamese X Long hair with blue eyes and a very easy-going nature. A gentle cat who is more interested in being petted than chasing things and playing, Simba doesn’t need much to be happy, except for insulin, thanks to his diabetes.

To stay healthy, Simba needs an injection twice a day and diabetic food. Both of these things are affordable for most people, and his amazing personality more than makes up for the extra bit of care required. His diabetes has been under steady control for over a year, and in terms of behavior and spirit he’s no different than any other cat. He has a lovely foster home, but would like to find a permanent home somewhere where he could have lots of company.

If you are interested in adopting SImba, you can see more of him on his youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/KittyCatDiabetes. GVAC is still supporting him, so you can also make a donation to help keep him in needles and insulin, food and vet care.

If you would like to adopt Simba, please fill our our application here: GVAC Cat Adoption Form or email us for more information: info@animalcrusaders.ca

Lola is the sweetest little cat. She never stops purring and she’s teeny tiny (almost like a kitten), with big whiskers and a super fluffy tail. Her fur is long, but doesn’t mat without brushing, and extremely soft.

She was born to a feral mom in Sooke. but a volunteer rescued her. She’s still very shy around new people, but she takes fairly quickly to other cats and dogs. She prefers to spend most of her time curled up on her own or playing with her furry friends, but she’ll let her foster mom hold her and pet her and is starting to get more daring about jumping onto the couch or bed when someone’s there.  She loves cat treats and chasing toys around the apartment.

She can still be skittish at times so a quieter home without small children would be best for her.  She would do best either in a home where she gets lots of one-on-one attention from people or where there are other cats or cat-friendly dogs for her to play with.  Gaining her trust and affection takes some time, but is worth every effort as she is such a loving girl when she finally bonds with you.

Lola was born approx mid-August 2009 and has been dewormed, deflead, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLv and has been spayed.
