After a campus-wide search, UFV’s infamous cat family has finally been rescued.
On Friday, Ashley Hayes, an employee of UFV’s Peer Resource and Leadership Centre, spotted the five kittens underneath a window outside of B building. The Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA) was contacted, and they brought the kittens to their shelter, and spent the rest of the weekend looking for the mother, who was found on Sunday.
The cat and her kittens are currently in a holding facility receiving specialized care, and will be put into foster families eventually.
VOKRA had seven volunteers who spent 50-60 hours at UFV over the weekend looking for the cat, and now they’re hoping to continue helping them by finding them new homes.
“It’s so nice that it’s a happily ever after story,” said Belinda Karsen, student transitions coordinator with student services.
Karsen also noted that if any cats are spotted on campus in the future, UFV security should be contacted immediately by calling 1-855-239-7654.
Anyone interested in adopting the kittens is encouraged to fill out an adoption application on VOKRA’s website (orphankittenrescue.com).
