Here are the deets on Monty, submitted by VIA reader : Kayla Buchanan!

Name: Montgomery (AKA Monty / Mr. Bitey) … Breed/Colouring: Seal Lynx Point & Domestic Short Hair mix … Hood: East Van … Habits: Snoozing; playing fetch; chasing his little sister around the house and body slamming her; luring vistors in with leg rubs and then hissing, clawing and sometimes biting when they try to pet him; eating. Hangouts: Monty loves to be on the lower level of the scratchy post, inside an ikea bag at the back of the closet, the litter box (constantly rearranging,) on your keyboard when you’re trying to type.

Mr. Bitey being chauffeured around by his manservant:

Here are the deets on Tobey Starks, submitted by VIA reader : Alex Kennedy!

Name: Tobey Starks (aka Ghostface Kitty, Intern Tobey, Tobey Dick, Tobey Wan Kenobi, Vincent Van Tobes and The Boy.) … Breed/Colouring: Black with a wispy, white-flecked undercoat which he refuses access to for the purposes of brushing. … Hood: Davie Village, although he is indefinitely grounded and cannot leave his apartment due to an unspecified incident. … Habits: Grooming his father’s facial hair with his tongue,  depositing unwanted toys into his water dish to signal his displeasure with them, licking condensation off windows and occasionally the toilet tank, recording his “mixtape” (mostly just him meowing loudly and incessantly while instrumental hip hop plays on the stereo) and eating hair while it is still attached to people’s heads.

Tobey got a little decadent at his last birthday party. A quick search uncovered this telling instagram:

Sorry for the delay, kitty friends! I know we usually have a Van City Kitty post on Wednesday, and I do hope you were able to hold out until today. I promise to tweet a bunch of kitties (@VanCityKittyVIA) this weekend, even if they are just my own to make up for the lack of cat awesomeness during the week.

Here are the deets on Asti, submitted by VIA reader : James!

Name: Asterix Le Fluff or “Asti” to her friends … Breed/Colouring: Calico … Hood: West End/Davie Village … Habits: Snuggles, sleeping, drinking from the bathtub and other cute things to distract from all of her trouble-making! Asti is suspected of nefarious drug dealings (without consent of her owners, mind you) including involvement in a local catnip ring that delivers the nip right to other cats’ windows. Hangouts: The couch, the bed, and the alley on weekdays. Asti prefers to unwind at Oasis and the Pumpjack on weekends.

This is her “none of your business” face.

Every month we feature a few kitties who are looking for their forever home. Today we have two very different adoptable friends from Katie’s Place!

Katie’s Place is a volunteer-run no-kill animal shelter in Maple Ridge. Two principals guide them: all life is valuable, and we are responsible for improving the quality of life for all those in our care.They make no judgment on whose life is worth rescuing; the sick, elderly and homely are as precious as the healthy, young and attractive. Katie’s Place started helping animals in January of 2001 and became a registered charity in 2005. Katie’s Place funding comes entirely from donations, fundraising and applying for grants. The funds go directly to animal care. Less than 3% is spent on admin/maintenance (eg. phone, bank charges, insurance). They are entirely volunteer run. Learn more about Katie’s Place here.

Here are the deets on Hershal, submitted by VIA reader : Karen Rugamas!

Name: Hershel Layton (named after this guy!) … Breed/Colouring: A fluffy little mutt of grey, white, and tan … Hood: West End … Habits: Walking in front of people, sitting just out of arms reach, talking to himself, and untying shoe laces. Hangouts: Windowsills, the edge of the bathtub (with people in it) and the kitchen cupboards. Favorite Things: His “welcome to the neighborhood “ rainbow cat toy, his own tail, hummus and people-watching.

It isn’t easy being ridiculously good-looking. Here’s Hersh’s best “blue steel.”

Here are the deets on Gordon, submitted by VIA reader : Christine J!

Name: Gordon. AKA: Mayor of Jerktown, Mista Lova Lova, “The Guy” … Breed/Colouring: A standard and perfect grey … Hood: West End … Habits: Gordon has very strict rules against privacy, and enforces compliance by headbutting open any closed doors as well as dashing to the apartment door to listen in on any hallway drama. He also enjoys kneading necks, chirping at birds and squirrels, knocking valuables off of any surface when he is hungry, and intensely staring at his people while they sleep. He occasionally will poop the bathtub, drool, and give morning snuggles. Possibly in that order. Hangouts: The balcony, drawers, boxes, bags, window sills, and the cardboard boxes that mason jars come in.

Favorite Things: Belly zerberts, hide and seek, feathers, bottle caps, pens, and popping out of the laundry basket like a jack-in-the-box.   He most favorite is when the mail-person slides mail through the mail slot (this is most exciting!)

Least Favorite thing: Paper! He hates when Christine has to write papers.

The cool guy himself:
