Story
Lucy is a 10-year-old mixed breed calico lady, a gentle snugglebug who likes to lay alongside you or in your lap once she gets to know you. She was adopted from a shelter as a "teenager" (young but past kittenhood) and has been a sweet companion to an elderly couple. She can be a bit timid at first in a new situation, and likes to have a dark place to hide while she gets the lay of the land, but she has been the dominant cat in her two-cat household and won't take long to show her queenly colors again. Her companion, Little Bit (who is a larger but more timid cat) is also going up for adoption at the same time. They can be adopted together or separately.

Story
Meet Cali (Calico) and Emmy (Black cat), an inseparable pair of sweethearts looking for their next chapter. These two female kitties share an unbreakable bond as they have been together their entire lives. Cali and Emmy are 6 years old and are indoor cats. I adopted them when they were 8 weeks old when I adopted them from a foster home through the Bonita Animal Shelter. Cali and Emmy do enjoy time together. However, they also spend time independently. Both enjoy napping (sometimes on my lap) or lying in the sun by the patio door. Playing with string and chasing laser lights or being brushed. It’s difficult to have to rehome them since we have been together for so long. A calm environment may help them thrive. It is due to my advancing age and moving in with my son’s family, that I am looking for a loving home where they can stay together forever.

Story
Sophie is a relatively small Calico girl with short-yet-fluffy soft fur. She's extremely social and outgoing. She loves to jump on your shoulders, climb high on cat trees or bookcases, and be wherever all the people are hanging out. She has the most unique, charming personality out of all the dozen+ cats I've owned. I've even considered making a YouTube channel dedicated to her silliness (see video). She will roll around on her back, meowing and stretching her paws out to entice you to come pet her. She's even rolled right off the edge of furniture doing so - but jumps right back up like nothing happened without a care in the world!She's 7 years old, spayed, healthy, litter box trained, indoor-only, micro-chipped, and comes from a loving home with other cats, a dog, and a young child. I've had her since a little kitten when I adopted her from SPOT rescue. To say it's heartbreaking to have to re-home her would be the biggest understatement of my life! She has so much love to give!

Story
Hello! We have had Lexi for a few months now from Petco. We were told she would be fine with our other 2 cats but she hasn’t adapted to them in months and is always hiding. We don’t want her to continue to live in fear 24/7 because of other cats. She is 99% a lap cat and is the sweetest 1 year old and a half. She’s very skiddish at first but she will slowly open up to you. Fun fact- she never meows, she only thrittles.

Story
Pumpkin was acquired from a shelter in Tennessee and moved west with us to San Diego 5 years ago. We recently had a child and do not have the capacity to take care of her anymore. She is a sweetheart who loves scratches, treats, and exploring. Pumpkin is a free spirit who loves attention. She’s great with strangers. She is 7yo and we’d love to find a someone who can care for her.
