NANAIMO — Tug Boat is a beautiful, 10-year-old Domestic Short-hair cat looking for a warm and comfy spot to call his own.

Tug Boat has been a little shy since he first arrived, but with a little patience and a calm hand, it doesn’t take him long to be snuggling up on your lap.

Tug Boat needs to lose a few of those extra pounds to keep him in tip-top shape.

You can submit an application online and book an appointment if it’s a match, or stop by their Nanaimo location Tuesday-Sunday from noon until 4 p.m.
