VELCRO❤️❤️ Adopted ❤️❤️
1-year-old male cat
Meet Velcro at Bosley's By Pet Valu Vernon today at noon, A handsome blue-eyed boy with a friendly, affectionate personality and a love for people. True to his name, he enjoys cuddling, hanging out with his humans, and being part of whatever is going on around him. His foster family quickly realized he likes to stick close by—earning him the nickname "Velcro."

Velcro is looking for a loving family where he can continue being the devoted companion he was always meant to be. If you're searching for a sweet cat who will happily be your shadow, Velcro may be your perfect match.
Velcro has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. Meet Velcro today at Vernon Bosley's from 12:00–1:00 p.m. Our adoption team will be on site conducting adoption interviews. Please note there are no pre-applications—you must attend in person to meet and apply. Vet cost recovery: $200.

BOSSY
1-year-old male cat
Despite his name, Bossy is not bossy at all! This handsome grey tabby with beautiful green eyes is a gentle, quiet boy who loves attention, cheek rubs, and spending time with his people.
Bossy is happiest lounging the day away while you're at work, then greeting you with cuddles, nuzzles, snuggles and purrs when you get home. He gets along well with other cats and may do fine with a calm feline friend, but he would also be happy as your one and only companion.
Bossy can be a little timid around fast movements and loud noises, and he is not a fan of dogs. Because of this, he would do best in a quieter home with adults or older, respectful children who can give him the time and patience he needs to feel safe and loved.
Bossy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and litter box trained. He is ready to find a forever home where he can relax, be spoiled, and share all the affection he has to give. ❤️ Please contact Jamie in Kelowna for adoption info. 250-878-0603
