About Odie
Hi there, the name's Odie! I am a sweet-tempered older gentleman looking for a cozy home to live out my golden years. I ended up at the SPCA after my owner sadly passed away. I was his whole world, and he was mine, so I have been feeling the loss. But, I'm trying to stay positive that there's another great home out there for me, that will help me to feel loved and cherished once again. I think I'd thrive in a quieter home where our primary activities are kicking back on the sofa, watching TV, and birdwatching. I have my moments of energy, but for the most part I'm a laid-back, relaxed kind of guy. Although timid upon first meeting, I'm a very sweet boy who loves nuzzling into hands and getting chin scratches. I bet I'd be a lap cat for the right person! I'm not overly playful, but some exercise in my life would probably be good for me as I'm pretty plump! I still have lots of life left to live, so I'm ready to move onto the next chapter, which I sure hope comes with lots of attention, snuggles, and snacks!
Dog-friendly: Untested, likely yes with slow introductions
Cat-friendly: Untested, likely yes with slow introductions
Kid-friendly: Untested, quiet older kids likely okay
Do I Need Special Care?: I have a mild heart murmur, caused by Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. I had an echocardiogram and full cardiac workup to determine the best course of treatment, and at this time my heart is functioning great, so there is no need for me to be on medications or have any special care at this time. Monitoring in the form of annual bloodwork and physical exams is recommended to ensure my heart continues to function normally. I can still live a full and healthy life despite this murmur, and at this time have no associated symptoms!
Interested?! Please fill out our adoption application and submit to adopt@bowvalleyspca.org. Upon approval you will be contacted to arrange an appointment time! You are also welcome to come visit me at the Centre during public visiting hours Wednesday-Saturday 12:00-4:00pm without an appointment.
