Eat a cupcake, help an animal I
f you love baking — or eating — you can make a life-saving difference for animals in need in your community this month. The BC SPCA is calling on everyone who loves animals and tasty treats to join Canada’s first-ever National Cupcake Day on Feb. 25 in support of homeless, abused and injured animals. Across Canada participants are Paw Prints registering as Cupcake Day Lorie Chortyk “hosts” at www. nationalcupcakeday.ca and baking cupcakes for their friends, families, schools or offices in return for a donation to their local SPCA. It’s an easy and fun way to make a lifechanging difference in the lives of animals that desperately need your help. Once you have registered online, you’ll receive a free National Cupcake Day host kit in the mail that includes a poster, sticker, balloons and a fundraising guide. You’ll also find great cupcake recipes and decorating ideas. Supporting the event are Lori Joyce and Heather White, owners of the wellknown retail chain Cupcakes, and hosts of the W Network’s show The Cupcake Girls. Lori and Heather will be offer-
GINO
CHEDDAR
• BREED: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR • SEX: NEUTERED MALE, ADULT
• BREED: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR • SEX: NEUTERED MALE, ADULT Cheddar is a handsome and friendly fellow. Cheddar has a bit of a feisty personality and would be best in a home with adults only. He doesn’t seem too concerned around the other cats and would be fine in a multi-cat home.
• ANIMAL: CAT
• BREED: HUSKY MIX, • SPAYED FEMALE, ADULT Gemma is a 2 year old (est.) friendly, but sometimes shy girl with a lot of energy. Gemma loves to play fetch and would make a great companion for jogging, hiking or long walks in the park. Gemma does have some separation issues and is an escape artist so she will need to be kept inside. Her new family would do best to get a professional trainer to help Gemma become more comfortable when she’s left alone.Gemma needs a home without any cats or small animals as her prey drive is fairly high.
Gino came to us as a feral kitten and has had a hard time getting used to people. He has come leaps and bounds since arriving at the shelter and we have no doubt in a quiet and patient home he will make a great companion. Gino would do best in a home with another cat, perhaps one of his friends from the shelter so he feels safe.

LARA
• ANIMAL: CAT • BREED: DOMESTIC MEDIUM HAIR • SEX: SPAYED FEMALE, ADULT Lara is a sweet girl who arrived at the shelter with a number of siblings who have all since been adopted. Lara had a hard time adjusting to shelter life and spent some time in a foster home. Lara is still shy, but with a gentle hand and a few treats you can win her over. Lara would do best in a home with another cat as she is very comfortable with a few at the shelter. Lara would be a candidate for the shelter’s Foster Program, please contact the shelter for more info.
KIT, KAT & PING
BENTO
• ANIMAL: RABBIT
• ANIMAL: CAT • BREED: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR • SEX: SPAYED FEMALE, ADULT
Bento is a big girl who would really like to find her forever home soon as shelter life doesn’t suit her! Bento can be very affectionate and friendly, but only with people. Bento would prefer a cat free home, or at least a cat that will respect her space. Bento is in good health, but could lose a few pounds to put her at an ideal weight.
• 1 SPAYED FEMALE AND 2 NEUTERED MALES • ADULTS Kit and Kat have a new friend, Ping! He was added to the pair because someone wanted to adopt all three, but sadly they never came back. The three are now bonded and must be adopted together. They are all small sized, but will need a large inside enclosure to ensure they have lots of room to hop around.
