Looking for a forever home; Penticton SPCA pet of the week

PENTICTON – A senior cat, aptly named Kitty Kat, is looking for a home.

At 12-years-old, Kitty Kat's former owners were unable to keep her as they were moving, a Penticton SPCA spokesperson said. 

"After arriving at the shelter, we discovered that she has hyperthyroidism – a very common disease that is easily managed with medication. Kitty Kat will need to be on medication for life, but it's not too costly," the SPCA said. 

Kitty Kat was shy when she arrived at the SPCA and spent a considerable amount of time hiding under a blanket. She has since warmed up and is chatty and affectionate, though she would do best in a quiet indoor home.

She has lived with a small dog but no cats. She loves to be groomed and enjoys treats.
