Meet Sweet Tweet!

Little Tweet was found as a stray in a park. Sadly, an owner didn’t come forward so it’s time to find Tweet her new home.

Tweet is still a bit nervous with new people, but with time, patience and food-based rewards, we know she will come around in no time and be a wonderful companion.

Her adoption fee is $25.

If you’re interested in giving Tweet a home, please fill out an application below and include a photo of your housing setup.

Meet Jess — A Little Chirp, a Quiet Purr, and a Whole Lot of Love!

Cats: Unknown
Dogs: Unknown
Kids: Unknown

Jess may be shy when you first meet her, but give this sweet girl a little time and patience, and you’ll soon discover what a special companion she is. This lovely girl has the sweetest way of asking for attention, with tiny little chirp-meows that are sure to steal your heart. Once the pets start? You’ll be rewarded with the softest, sweetest purr. And maybe some of her soft coat on your clothes.

At around 2 years old, Jess is ready for a fresh start and a loving home where she can finally feel safe and secure. Sadly, she was abandoned in an apartment and we don’t know how long she was left on her own. Despite her difficult start, Jess has so much love to give to someone willing to let her blossom at her own pace.

Jess can be a little cautious at first, and loud noises can startle her, so she would likely thrive in a quieter home where she can settle in without too much commotion. Jess has lived with another cat in the past, although we aren’t yet sure how she feels about feline friends. For now, we think she’d do best with a family willing to be thoughtful about any introductions and give her the time she needs to adjust.

This gentle girl deserves a home where she’ll never have to wonder when love is coming her way. If you have a peaceful space, a little patience and lots of affection to share, Jess might just be the quiet, purring companion you’ve been waiting for.

Jess has been:
Spayed
Microchipped
Vaccinated
Dewormed
Flea treated
SNAP tested (negative)

Jess's adoption fee is $225 plus tax.

If you think Jess could be the perfect addition to your family, the next step is to complete an adoption application using the link below.

We have wonderful news to share from the recent fire on Agnes Street: a resident cat, 19 year old Big Daddy, has been found! He made his way into our trap early this morning looking no worse for the wear, though his smell could clear a room so he's currently being treated and examined at the vet before reuniting with his human. Big thanks to our New Westminster Firefighters for helping us safely remove Big Daddy from the site.

We have not forgotten about the additional cats still missing after the fire. Please know that New Westminster Animal Services is here to support you during this incredibly difficult time and we will do everything we can to help reunite families with their pets.

If your pet is missing:
🐾 Call Animal Services at 604-519-2008 to file a Lost Pet Report.
🐾 Watch our pagewhere we'll post photos of found pets whenever we're unable to identify their owners.
🐾 Share your pet's photo on local lost pet networks such as PawBoost, Missing Pets in BC, Facebook, and Nextdoor. The more people looking, the better the chance of a safe reunion.

If you've found a pet:
🐾 Please call Animal Services at 604-519-2008 so we can help reunite them with their family.

Meet Arthur!

Cats: Well Matched
Dogs: No, thanks
Kids: Older, maybe

This regal gentleman was found as a stray when he arrived at a home significantly underweight and ravenous. Fortunately, the people he walked up to recognized that he needed help and called us immediately. He has done a wonderful job at gaining weight since being with us, but will likely always be a thin boy and will require some supplemental medical care to keep him in tip top condition.

Even at 16 years old, Arthur still has tons of love to give. He will greet you as soon as he sees you (he may see you before he hears you) with his sweet, subdued purrs only an esteemed gentleman can provide. He will be a quiet companion that would love a relaxed home he can reign over.

He has been sharing his quarters with his new senior buddy, Marty, which he seems to quite enjoy. Arthur would likely do well with any gentle, appropriate cat and wouldn’t be opposed to sharing his last years with his new bud. While Arthur would be safe to live with children, he is fragile in his advanced age and would not do well with rough handling so only older children/teens that understand to be gentle could be okay.

Arthur is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and flea-treated. He has also been SNAP tested, testing negative. He is now ready to leave shelter life behind and find his forever home! Could yours be Sir Arthur Richard Parker's forever home? For Arthur, we are also open to a forever foster arrangement - please contact us for details.

If you're looking for a sweet, social, handsome companion who is ready to start his next chapter, Arthur would love to meet you!

Adoption fee: $175 + applicable tax

The next step is to complete an adoption or foster application. If you have questions about Arthur or our process, please contact us:

Meet Marty!

Cats: Well Matched
Dogs: No, thanks
Kids: Older, maybe

Mr. Marty joined our shelter after his owner sadly passed away. Fortunately for this handsome ginger man, there were many people in his corner making sure his needs were met until he made it to us. He recently had a dental to remove 3 broken teeth and is now in first-class, old man shape!

At 16 years old, Marty has perfected his “you will give me attention, human” manners. His purr engine revs on top of his little chirps to let you know it’s Marty time. Do not expect to have much personal space with this striking man in your home.

He has been sharing his quarters with his new senior buddy, Arthur, which he seems to quite enjoy. Marty would likely do well with any gentle, appropriate cat and wouldn’t be opposed to sharing his last years with his new bud.

Marty is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and flea-treated. He has also been SNAP tested, testing negative. He is now ready to leave shelter life behind and find his forever home! Could yours be Marty’s forever home?

If you're looking for a sweet, social, handsome companion who is ready to start his next chapter, Marty would love to meet you! For Marty, we are also open to a forever foster arrangement - please contact us for details.

Adoption fee: $175 + applicable tax
