Sunshine is a gorgeous 6-year-old Maine Coon Cat mix. She was surrendered to LAPS (Langley Animal Protectin Society) when her owner moved into a building with a limit on the number of pets allowed. At first Sunshine wanted nothing to do with LAPS staff and volunteers, but after a few days she decided we're not so bad and is now very social and outgoing.
Sunshine is a confident girl who isn't afraid to let everyone know how she feels. She could go to a home with another cat but it would probably be best if any feline roommates are willing to let Sunshine rule the roost. This beauty is currently a little on the plump side and definitely needs to shed a couple of pounds. If you could use some Sunshine in you life, stop by LAPS today!

LAPS (Langley Animal Protection Society) and PetSmart are teaming up to get more cats out of the shelter and into loving homes! The Abbotsford PetSmart is now home to an adoption centre, which will house 4 – 12 LAPS cats or kittens. They will be available for viewing seven days a week, with volunteers on site to do adoptions between 6 PM and 8 PM, Monday to Friday, and 12 PM and 4 PM on weekends.
This project will make a huge difference in the lives of Langley's cats. It has the potential to double our cat adoptions, which will double the number of cats we can help. Housing cats at PetSmart not only frees up shelter space for other cats in need, it also provides our current adoptable felines with more exposure to the public and makes it more likely for them to be adopted quickly. By shortening their shelter stay, the centre will improve their quality of life and reduce the risk of them developing stress related health problems.
If you're looking for a new addition to your family, head out to PetSmart at 1305 Sumas Way in Abbotsford and meet some adorable cats looking for loving homes!

Trinity had been living loose on a property in Langley for a year when the property owner was finally able to catch her and bring her to LAPS. She had obviously never had a home or family before and was very frightened by life at the shelter. She was also pregnant and had no idea what to do with her kittens when they were born. LAPS staff had to clean and warm up her babies and then the whole little family went home with staff member, Gwen, so they could enjoy some peace and quiet.
Now Trinity has been spayed, her kittens have all been adopted and she's looking for a new home. Although she is very shy, Trinity is incredibly sweet. She enjoys attention from staff and familiar volunteers and is happy to rub up against them and purr up a storm. She absolutely loves other cats and would probably be happiest in a home with a feline brother or sister. Because she's so timid, Trinity is looking for a quiet home with no young children. If you think you can give this beautiful girl the life she deserves, please stop by LAPS today!

We can't believe that lovely, outgoing Clara hasn't been adopted yet! This wonderful girl has watched cat after cat get adopted while she is left behind at the shelter; we think it might be because she is on a hypoallergenic diet. But the person who looks past her special dietary needs is in for a real treat – this girl is as sweet as can be!
Clara and her three kittens were left in a crate outside a store. The store's staff assumed it was just an empty crate and no on realized that there was a little family huddled inside. Finally a customer looked in and saw Clara and her kittens. Clara is now spayed and looking for a new family. This two-year-old kitty loves attention and is great at enticing people into stopping to say hello. She loves having her ears scratched and will lean into your hand and purr up a storm.
If you would like to adopt this lovely girl, stop by the Langley Animal Protection Society and meet her today.

Duchess arrived at Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) with three kittens in tow and pregnant again...or so we thought. She went to the vet for x-rays and instead of kittens the vet found that she was packed with feces. The poor girl also had a fractured pelvis and a dislocated hip.
The first order of business was getting Duchess comfortable, so she was immediately given painkillers and put on a high-fibre diet to promote intestinal health. Next came the surgery – her hip was repaired and then Duchess went through weeks of cage rest so her hip and pelvis could heal.
Now, almost 9 weeks later, Duchess is healthy, happy and looking for a home. Despite all she's been through in her two short years, Duchess is a friendly, outgoing cat. If you have room in your life for Duchess, please stop by and meet her today.
