While her siblings might be zipping around like shooting stars, Pluto is the quiet, gentle moon of the litter. A delicate grey tabby, her coat is as soft as morning mist, and her heart is just as tender. She is a kitten for the soul—a little soul looking for a safe harbor to finally shine. She is "shy but sweet," which means her love isn't given away to just anyone—it’s a special treasure she saves for those who move at her pace. Once she feels safe, Pluto reveals a sweetness that is purely magical. She has a very soft, hesitant purr that grows stronger the more you get to know her. Pluto will do best with someone who understands that the best things in life are worth waiting for. She needs a human who will sit quietly with her and let her find her courage at her own speed.

Additional adoption info
Interested adopters can meet cats and kittens at our adoption center at 160 E El Camino Real inside of Petco in Sunnyvale, CA. Currently, meet-and-greets are primarily by appointment until we have our official opening later this summer and have regular hours. Meet-and-greets can also be scheduled at foster homes. During this time the potential adopter can ask questions and have a conversation with the volunteers showing the cats or kittens to learn more about the animals and their care.
After the meet-and-greet, an adopter can move forward with the process by completing a pre-adoption survey at bayareacats.org/adopt (this can also be completed prior to the meet-and-greet). An adoption counselor will meet with the adopter to go over the cat’s medical and treatment history, future vaccination due dates, and diet. The adoption counselor will also provide education on additional topics indicated by the adopter in the survey, such as the initial confinement period (“sanctuary room”), cat-to-cat introductions, safe-outdoor access, etc. The adoption is then processed via mobile checkout and all information is emailed to the adopter for a paperless experience unless otherwise requested. Most adoptions are completed same day!

Our mission is to decrease the number of unfixed cats in the community. Bay Area Cats is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our organization provides resources and enables the community to do trap-neuter-return (TNR). We spend time training, educating, rescuing kittens, and assisting with TNR efforts. We help connect people to spay/neuter resources and support those with financial need.
In 2025 we officially opened an adoption program to help place friendly cats and kittens in forever homes!
