My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

* In foster care. 'Meet & Greet' appointments are available 7 days a week. Submit an online application and an adoption counselor will call you to confirm an appointment. *

Sonny is the kind of cat who quietly becomes your shadow. He’ll follow you from room to room with soft little chirps, happy just to be near you. Settle onto the couch and he’ll be right there beside you, purring like it’s his full-time job.

At 10 years young, Sonny has perfected the art of companionship. He’s mellow, affectionate, and wonderfully easy to live with. He enjoys playtime in short bursts, appreciates a cozy nap, and truly thrives on simple, steady connection.

Sonny is FIV positive, which simply means his immune system needs a little extra care. Many FIV+ cats live long, happy lives indoors, and Sonny has done beautifully. He also has kidney disease that has remained stable on a prescription diet alone. He feels great, loves his special food, and continues to enjoy each day to the fullest.

What Sonny wants most is a calm, loving home where he can be someone’s steady companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle presence who will quietly fill your home with warmth, Sonny may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for.

Adoption Fee: $125.00

Our adoption fee generally covers everything your new feline friend needs to start their journey with you:

*Spaying or Neutering: Ensuring the well-being of our cats and controlling the pet population.
*Microchipping: A permanent identification method to keep your furry friend safe.
*Vaccinations: Up-to-date vaccines tailored to the specific needs of each cat.
*Fecal Testing and Deworming: A comprehensive approach to intestinal health.
*Viral Testing (FeLV/FIV): Conducted on all adults and most kittens based on their origin.
*Comprehensive Blood Work: For many of our adult cats, ensuring their overall current health.

In addition to all standard treatments outlined above, many of our cats and kittens have received costly treatment for other maladies that result from abandonment or starting life on the streets.

Of course, if you would like to make a larger donation to help cover our care for the homeless cats, we would be delighted. All donations over the adoption fee are tax deductible.

Why Choose Peter Zippi?

At Peter Zippi Memorial Fund, we're not just about adoptions; we're about creating lifelong connections between our feline friends and loving families. Our Adoption Counselors are dedicated to making your adoption experience joyful and memorable.

*We often offer hard-to-place and special needs cats.*

At Peter Zippi, we believe that kittens under 5 months of age thrive best with a feline companion. To ensure their happiness and healthy development, we adopt kittens in pairs or to homes with an age-appropriate resident cat. Growing up with another cat helps kittens learn social skills, provides essential companionship, and encourages active play. We appreciate your understanding and support in giving our kittens the best start in life!

Thank you for considering adopting from Peter Zippi Memorial Fund, where every cat's journey to a forever home begins with support from the community.

More about this rescue

In memory of Peter Zippi, a young man dedicated to the care of animals, The Peter Zippi Memorial Fund For Animals was founded in 1977 by Dr. Alice Villalobos. We have adopted out over 14,000 pets (mostly cats) since then. The fund is run by wonderful volunteers who work tirelessly to help those who can't help themselves. The fund sponsors spay/neuter vouchers to qualified persons, and shelter for and adoptions of lost and homeless animals.
