It’s Milo! A young sweet boy who is a bit shy at first. He usually needs some time to warm up to new people, but once he does, you’ll see how truly lovable and goofy Milo can be! He is curious and loves to explore and go for long walks, though he can be anxious in car rides. Milo’s smart, he’s already crate trained and housebroken, but he will need time to adjust in a new home. He would do best in a home that offers Milo a calm and consistent environment. This anxious boy is looking for the perfect family to help show him that the world is not so scary and help work with him on his confidence. If you’re interested in changing this boys life forever, stop by the RHSPCA today!

Meet Bertie, a lovely 15-year-old senior looking for a loving home to spend his golden years. Despite the rather stern look he wears, Bertie is a gentle giant! The highlight of his day is mealtime, followed closely by spending time with his person. Bertie is a Chronic Upper Respiratory cat, meaning that he sneezes often, and frequently sounds congested. What this means is that Bertie should be seen by his adopter’s vet to determine the best ways to keep him happy and healthy, and for other related visits as needed. He’s an easy-going guy who loves a cozy cat bed to curl up in and never turns down any scritches behind the ears he’s offered! If you’re looking for an affectionate senior kitty, Bertie is the purrfect pick!
