Are you Jon’s soulmate?
Jon initially joined us in 2021 as a fearful kitten from an apartment complex in Green Valley from a Campus Cat Coalition, Inc. project. Our little Green Lantern was shy, but warmed up quickly for pets, fishy treats, and baby talk from his foster mom. We found what we thought was a loving home in 01/2022, but received the horrifying news in 12/2023 from Solano County Sheriff's Office Animal Care Division that he was relinquished by a hoarder.
His foster team had tremendous feelings of failure and guilt for inadvertently placing him into this dangerous and neglectful situation and arrived at their facility within 15 minutes to pick him up and begin rebuilding the hero he once was. For two months, his foster mom watched him go from trembling and shaking to beginning to recognize her voice again as a safe thing. Lots of treats, praise, play, and help from other foster cats gradually helped him recognize that he was no longer going to be scruffed, shoved into a carrier, and transported back and forth in an effort to hide he and the other animals from the landlord. His foster mom needed surgery and asked one of our newer team members and her daughter if they would continue helping Johnny heal from his ordeal. Then, something amazing happened. Within 2 weeks, he was taking treats and starting to play and then he started to make rapid progress into a timid at times, affectionate boy. In 01/2025, his foster posted an update of him playing in the house with strangers watching him. In 02/2025, he was integrated into the full house and asking for pets. Everyday he becomes a little more confident and secure in himself and has surpassed all of our expectations. Johnny is a gentle, shy, and intelligent cat who thrives on verbal praise, consistency, and patience. We have been gently working on his cooperative care skills and being picked up (not carried). He has lived with animals of all kinds and his insecurities are primarily about his bodily autonomy. Our dream home would be a kitten foster parent! He truly enjoys the company of younger cats and teaches them how to play. He likes his teenaged-human foster sister and has been sitting on the couch with strangers. We know he will need an adjustment period and may take a one step back initially. We never give up on our heroes and hope to find him a home that will love him as unconditionally as we have.

We only take cats that are non adoptable in shelters which includes feral, abused, abandoned, and traumatized cats and kittens. We heal them inside and out using positive reinforcement and force free techniques. Last, we provide assistance to low income families to help them fix their pets, provide food to feral cat colony managers, and sponsor adoption fees for those who need a pet and can afford their care but not an additional fee.
