Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:

We serve California's San Joaquin Valley or as far as a person wishes to drive to meet one of our babies. We do not ship and must meet our adopters in person.

About Our Rescue Group:

We are no longer doing active rescue but we do have a few kitties still available for adoption.

Come Meet our Pets:

Our kitties live in our dog grooming shop which is open Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday from 8:00 AM. We do off-site adoptions one or more times a month. Call us for days and locations. We can also do adoptions by appointment at almost any time. Give us a call and leave a message if we're not available to answer the phone. Or email 2ndphlame@bak.rr.com.

Our Adoption Process:

We have a simple adoption application, the main points being that our kitties go to indoor homes only and must be spayed/neutered at the age of 4-5 months, which we have done if the cat is older than that. We hate to refuse adoption to anyone who will give a kitty a nice home, so we prefer to educate rather than alienate. We may steer you toward a different more suitable cat, but will rarely turn you away. We request at least a $75. donation or 2 kitties for $100.

Our Adopted Pets:

We have helped lots of pets connect with loving and caring owners. Check out our adopted pets list!

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a cat or kitten versus getting cats for sale or kittens for sale from a cat breeder? When someone is breeding kittens, they are creating new cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of cat or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a cat for sale from a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a cat or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
