My story

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

This amazingly affectionate cat is Oscar. He showed up one day, starving, scrawny, beat up and with oozing eyes. He had clearly been someone's pet once as he is a master at weaving between legs, standing up for head bumps, purring away, and LOVING belly rubs. Even the vet was amazed at his overall affectionate nature compared to his beat up body.

Oscar was treated for his wounds, neutered, deflead, dewormed, got his shots, was microchipped, and miraculously tested negative for FeLV and FIV! As he was going through is veterinary treatments it was discovered he was caring for a petite, very fearful female kitten/cat. He shared his food with her and kept other cats from beating her up. She actually looked at him like he was her hero.

We made the decision to take her in with him even though she was very fearful/feral. We think she was physically harmed at some point as she flinches at hands rather than striking out like a feral might. she has a long way to go.

We have carefully considered whether or not to try to adopt them as a pair or not. We are leaving that decision open. Maybe there is an adopter out there who would be willing to take them both on - that would be fantastic. However if an good home comes available for Oscar, we will definitely consider letting him go as a single. He is so sweet. He deserves a loving home. We can continue to work with "Girlfriend."

An application, virtual safety homecheck, landlord approval if renting, and an adoption fee are required. Discount to seniors, military/veterans, with proof of disability, and adopting the pair.

More about this rescue

We rescue animals from high kill shelters or abandoned local strays and foster them until they find an adoptive home. Our southern branch also goes out on emergency rescue calls for cats in drain and sewer pipes, up trees, stuck in walls etc. Transport in available up and down the state of CA. We also TNR local stray and feral populations. The plight of homeless animals moves us deeply. It is unspeakably horrific to see gentle loving animals killed simply because they are homeless. While we cannot save them all, each one saved deserves it. We are a 501c3 registered, CA non-profit corporation.
