Kitties & Cream
Nanaimo, British Columbia
Kitties & Cream is a cat shop and rescue adoption lounge on Fitzwilliam Street in Nanaimo's Old City Quarter, and Vancouver Island's first cat lounge. After moving to its current address, it runs a small drop-in meet-and-greet room with up to six adoptable cats at a time while it raises funds to build a full lounge. Visits to the room are by donation and need no booking. The cats come from partner rescues Brittany Niemi Rescues, CatSpan Ferals Registered Charity, Running Wild Rescue and SOS Prairie Rescue, and more than 900 cats have been adopted through Kitties & Cream. Adopters meet the cats in person and then apply. The shop sells cat food, litter, furniture and toys alongside cat-themed gifts, stickers and art from over 40 local makers, with free local delivery. There is no cafe service on site.
