History
The Okanagan Humane Society began in 1996 by a group of concerned citizens in Winfield, BC who could no longer bear to see the suffering of lost, abandoned, and feral cats and kittens in the orchards and on the streets.
The main mandate was, and still is, to spay and neuter companion animals so we can save lives and end unnecessary suffering of our local animals. Since inception, OHS has spayed or neutered an average of 1000+ local animals annually.
OHS is run by a dedicated and passionate network of volunteers positioned throughout the Okanagan, working directly with residents across the region to rescue animals from outside. Volunteers work daily to provide cost-efficient solutions to animal rescue and pet care including operating an entirely foster-home based society so animals are cared for in the comfort of volunteer foster homes. This model has kept costs down and allows us to have more animals in care at any given time.

Nugget is a very loving, sociable and talkative critter. He loves to play, and it would be delightful for him to be homed with other cats, but near his own age of approximately 2 years. If no other cat, then someone who wants to play with him. He enjoys wet food and loves it as a supplement to dry and gets it twice a day in his foster home. He also LOVES Temptations and will come running on the shaking of the bag. Nugget does have a slight head tremor, but it hasn’t affected him in any way. It only shows up when he is a little stressed or excited, nothing to cause any concerns about. Nugget is Fixed, Vaccinated, Microchipped and Dewormed. This guy is a beautiful soul, and it will be hard to give him up, but to whomever gets him, you will have the greatest of friend and soul mate.

9 years old FEMALE CAT.
Kitty (aka Artica) needs a loving person in a calm environment. She was an abandoned kitten found in a cardboard box barely weaned on the side of the road by my son. Contact Jude in Kelowna 250-215-4367
Kitty is very vocal and likes to chat, she loves and responds well to treats. Kitty gets along with our dog but may find a new dog challenging. She has never been introduced to another cat.
Kitty can be loving, affectionate can purr loudly and likes to cuddle at night and in the mornings usually waking you with a morning chatter.
Kitty is cautious and timid she will hiss if surprised or perceived a threat, she doesn’t like being picked up but will not resist if necessary.
Kitty likes to lay on her tower but seems to prefer napping on top of the couch.
Not much of a player but likes to chase paper and foil balls especially down the stairs. Kitty also likes to sit in the sink while you shower.
Kitty is her own person and will become a nice companion given time and on her terms. She may growl if scratching overstimulates her letting you know to stop.
