Penny: ‘mysterious cat-itude’
I adopted Penny from RAPS in November 2017 when she was just seven months old.
She was a feral kitty, had already given birth to a litter of kittens, and was found in a dumpster in Richmond. She was eventually captured in a warehouse and brought into RAPS. She was there for a month, and I believe people just looked past her due to her being scared and wanting to hide.
Penny was so full of fear, but needed a good home and someone with patience.
She has come out of her shell and lives the best life. She is spoiled with love, treats, and loves her window perch to watch the birds and squirrels in the trees. She has brought me so much joy and laughter with her quirky, mysterious cat-itude.
I think everyone looking for a pet should look at RAPS first as it's an honour to rescue an animal and give them the life they deserve.

Buddy: forever an inspiration
I have always loved animals and adopted my first cat Buddy from the SPCA in 2005.
During his 11 years with me he battled with hepatitis, and later, kidney disease.
The veterinary team took such great care of him that, even after I had to say goodbye to him, I was inspired to do what they did to care for him (and myself) in the best way possible.

Moby: dog park singer
I love Moby for how he enjoys singing us the song of his people whenever we drive to dog parks. I love how he always greets me at the door when I came home from work. And his beautiful smile and charming personality doesn't hurt either.
