Richmond Animal Shelter's Pet of the Week: Bosco the lovable cat

Charismatic Bosco is up for adoption and will “talk” to you, according to BCSPCA staff

This week’s BCSPCA Pet of the Week in Richmond is one for lovers of all things feline.

Bosco the cat, according to Richmond Animal Shelter staff, “expresses his love through gentle kisses, head butts, and soft purrs.”

Charismatic and affectionate three-year-old Bosco has been at the shelter for 22 days and “seeks comfort and warmth in the company of his human companions and absolutely adores snuggling up in laps and receiving affectionate cuddles.”

According to the shelter, he thrives on social connections and will “eagerly seek opportunities to engage with his human family members.”

And, although he loves the indoors, Bosco apparently has a penchant for little outdoor adventures and would enjoy supervised excursions, such as going on walks or in an enclosed “catio.”

“Be prepared for lively conversations with this chatty companion! Bosco is known for his expressive meows, trills, and purrs that add an extra layer of communication to your bond,” added the shelter.

However, Bosco would prefer to be the only feline in the house as he does not get along with other cats.

If you think Bosco would fit into your life, check out the steps below:

1.) Visit the Richmond Animal Shelter to meet this pet during adoption viewings Friday to Tuesday noon to 3pm, learn more about their ideal match, and apply to adopt in person; or

2.) Submit an online application adopt.spca.bc.ca and staff will contact the first suitable adopter to set-up a visit! Kindly note that due to the high number of applications and the availability of walk-in adoptions an online applicant would have to be available to come in for a meet within 24 hrs.
