Kelowna Woman Highlighted by SPCA for Milestone in Foster Care - Greenwood Boundary Creek Times

Brenda Larson has fostered cats since 2015 and says short-term homes help the BC SPCA keep shelter numbers manageable.

  • Since May 2015, Kelowna volunteer Brenda Larson has provided temporary care for more than 100 cats through the SPCA, helping stray and abandoned animals find permanent homes.
  • Fosters like Brenda truly help save lives, said Shannon Paille, BC SPCA Kelowna manager, noting they keep shelter numbers manageable while providing safe spaces for animals to heal.
  • Larson is currently fostering a cat named Lily, who benefits from being the only animal in the home while recovering from skin concerns and open wounds.
  • "Fostering gives me the best of both worlds," said Larson, who finds the experience rewarding despite the difficulty of saying goodbye to animals in her care.
  • The SPCA Kelowna actively seeks more foster homes for senior, pregnant, and medical-needs animals, providing all necessary food, supplies, and veterinary care to volunteers.
