Ask Richmond can someone help take care of my senior cat?
I’ve posted about tommy before. He got rehomed but the person ended up not wanting tommy due to his peeing problem. My mom won’t let me have him back no matter what and we’ve argued about this a lot. I really don’t want to send tommy to the shelter since he’s a senior cat. I love tommy with my whole heart and i’ve had him since i was 4. please reach out if anyone is willing to take him. I really don’t want to do this but i have to:( he’s a really affectionate cat. 😞 RAPS cat santurary has a long wait time and i don’t know what to do.

Ask Richmond Chinese Restaurant Recommendations for 13-Person Wedding Dinner?
Hello!
My partner and I are planning a micro wedding in April/May 2025 and are opting for a family dinner instead of a traditional reception. We’ll have 11 guests (13 people total, including us) and are looking for a Chinese restaurant that ideally offers a private room. Does anyone have recommendations for restaurants with private room options, as well as information on minimum spending requirements?
Thanks in advance!

Sure glad YVR put a giant outlet mall on sea island without upgrading traffic infrastructure… As a Burkeville resident I dread this day every year. Can’t imagine how many people missed flights or were late for picking people up. Took an hour to get from Marpole over the bridge.

Ask Richmond Adult protective services in Richmond?
Hey all, sort of a weird question here-
I need to prefix this by saying I don't know the woman in question- I have an idea of which apartment building she lives in, but I don't know her personally or even her name. We've never even spoken.
For the past two years I've been living in downtown Richmond, within walking distance of No.3 road. Every morning while I'm waiting for my bus to come pick me, I see the same elderly woman with a walker, walk across NO.3 road without any care or concern for the lights. She'll cross when the cars have a green and just expects that people will stop for her, and everyday I think to myself, "She's gonna get hit by a car."
Well, yesterday morning it finally happened- she decided to walk on the red and a car going North bound didn't see her, and slammed into her walker and basically full speed.
She was unharmed, just shocked it looked like, the driver stopped, and a bus pulled over and about 3-5 people rushed to her aid, got her her walked back and she was on her way.
So, my question here, is there some kind of Adult Protective services I can call, or should I be reaching out to the non-emerg RCMP line? I know the exact intersection and the time and dates so I'm sure they could look up the traffic cams if needed...
She might not be in her full faculties, or she could just not care about her safety but either way there's no need for her to traumatize an innocent driver the next time she decides to take a risk.

Can anyone share what it means for a single detached house to have frequent visitors every day? The visitors seem to be all Chinese, either gender, age 30-55. I first thought it could be a brothel but I saw Chinese moms going inside.
