I came across SlowBlink Cattery while looking for a Maine Coon breeder in the Greater Vancouver…read morearea. After a thorough search and conversations with various breeders, I stumbled upon SlowBlink. Mia, the owner, stood out with her extensive knowledge of cat health and nutrition. She was incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to address my concerns about purchasing a kitten without breeding rights. She offered me several options, and we found one that suited me perfectly. As a new cat owner, I valued Mia's ability to accurately assess the kitten's condition based on my brief description. SlowBlink's expertise and the inclusion of first-month insurance provided me with a strong support system in the initial stages of bringing home my kitten. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to confidently reserve a beautiful kitten. I wholeheartedly recommend SlowBlink to anyone searching for a trustworthy and caring place to find their new feline companion. --T and D's mum.

It's been almost three years since my Simon passed away (I still miss him a lot), and my husband…read morelooooooves cats, so we decided to adopt a cat, specifically an older cat, as kittens, while adorable, are a little high energy and high maintenance for us. We were planning on adopting a cat sometime this summer, when last week, I found out that the SPCA is reducing the adoption fees on older cats (not kittens) by 50% between May 25th and May 31st. So while we weren't planning on adopting a cat just yet, we decided to take advantage of the promotion this weekend -- it was the puuuurrrrfect opportunity! We had looked at the website ahead of time, and there were some cats that we were interested in, based on their description and appearance, but you really have to meet the cat before making a decision. At the SPCA, there were a couple that we liked (neither of which we had considered from the website), and in the end, we chose the oldest cat there, at ten years old. (According to his backstory, he was surrendered because a child in the family was allergic -- so sad that after ten years he was given away.) Not only is he old, but he's also really fat, at nearly 20 lbs! But he's a lovely cat, very friendly and affectionate, although a little shy. (So far, he's spent the majority of his time hiding under the couch or bed, but he purrs a lot and likes being pet, and he has come out a few times for cuddles.) While my husband and I had been discussing adopting a cat, and from where (SPCA, VOKRA, Cat Therapy & Rescue, etc), I was worried that it would be a huge hassle and that we would be rejected for some ridiculous reason. (VOKRA and Cat Therapy & Rescue seem a little intense -- I understand wanting to make sure that a cat goes to a good home, but good grief! Their rules and requirements are ridiculous!) However, we had no issues at all with the adoption at the SPCA. Once we decided on a cat, we filled out an application, a staff member asked us a few reasonable questions, as well as patiently answered all our questions about the cat, and it was done -- we had a kitty to take home! The cat's name was Seth Rogen, a name we hate (I don't even care for the actor), but it's wrong to change a cat's name when he's so old, so we tried calling him Seth. But the name just doesn't fit, and in the end, I'm calling him Beau, after Beau Nugget, an extremely obese cat whose weight loss journey can be watched on YouTube.

We finally visited S.A.I.N.T.S. this weekend. Well overdue - for years! This animal haven for senior and special needs animals was just heart-warming and full of love. Founder, Carol Hine is a nurse during the day and a "saint" by night. She started this sanctuary in 2004 and it's grown into a beautiful home and 3-acre property to these wonderful animals. Some of the animals have ended up at S.A.I.N.T.S. as a result of animal cruelty cases, abandonment, extended stays at animal shelters, owners moving, owners not being able to afford looking after their sick or disabled animals any longer. Weekly tours happen at the facility on Saturdays and Sundays at 11:00am. Ours was led by long-time volunteer, Dawne. She did a great job providing background info and a thorough explanation of what S.A.I.N.T.S. is all about, how they care for the animals and the stories behind some of their furry residents. They currently have 130+ animals under their care including dogs, cats, horses, llamas, sheep, pigs... S.A.I.N.T.S. is always looking for volunteers, sponsorship (you can even choose which animal), and donations (monetary and non). There's a "wish list" on their site as to the items they're always in need of and you can easily donate and sponsor via their site too. S.A.I.N.T.S. has done an amazing job of turning a bad or unwanted experience into a happy sanctuary of love. Thank you for saving and caring for the animals!

I've never met Carol but she's a very special lady to open up her home and create this sanctuary for elderly and unwanted animals she is a saint. It's so worth it to go on the tour even if your not an animal lover you will be by the end of the tour, I think they do tours on the weekends you may want to check their website but I can see donations are well appreciated it all goes for the animals I wished I had more cash on me to donate but will next time. If you have children they will love it people of all ages can enjoy a visit here. The Llama Carl will make you laugh he's so cute I love his personality.

Also, the volunteers here are so nice, and really helpful in giving you the lowdown on whatever cat you're interested in. Looking forward to visiting again!
