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.

Meet sisters beautiful Cinnamon & Maple:) gorgeous Tortoiseshell 5 month old kittens:) They have been together but they can be adopted separately. Maple the one with the white snowshoes would prefer to be the only kitten while Cinnamon won't mind other kittens - Tortoiseshell cats are beautiful creatures affectionally called “torties.” Best known as “the divas of the cat world,” They are currently being fostered around children, other cats and dogs. They are very affectionate as they’ve been constantly held, handled, and loved since they were first rescued. They are beautiful. All of our kittens are looking for a loving and safe, forever home. They are playful! they love cardboard boxes and love to hide in them and play hide and seek:) They will make great companions and wonderful addition to any home:) They have been posted under the category of Calicos as they are similar but they are more exotic and hard to find.

Story
She was born November 2025, she’s a sweetheart she loves to play yet she remains very calm, she can become snuggly and cuddly once you’ve gained her trust. She’s spade and microchipped she’s healthy besides the matter she recently acquired worms. We can’t afford to house them any longer as we can’t afford treatment.

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.

Story
I've had Klaus since he was a kitten. He is 11 years old as of 4/1/26. Klaus would do great with anyone who would love to cuddle. Klaus has done well with other cats and small dogs in the past. Considering his clingy nature and need for attention, he would thrive best in a single cat home or perhaps with one other pet. He is a healthy senior boy outside of a health incident in the past, a urinary blockage, which now requires him to be on prescription food. This looks like $140/month. I will provide new family with 3 months' supply. Klaus is sweet-tempered and outgoing. He is vocal when it comes to mealtimes. His greatest joys are cuddling and eating. As far as cats go, he is quick to warm up to new people. He's befriended and charmed everyone at the vet. Nail clipping is an easy process with him in your lap and a churu treat in hand. I am not in a position to care for him any longer, I would love to see him with a family that can love and adore this sweet cuddlebug.

Story
Wilbur was rescued from a trailer park in Arizona and relocated to San Diego. He is the sweetest cat and just wants to be pet all day, he is trained to use a little box. My children are too much for him, he would do better in a calmer environment.

Schooner is a sweet shy cat that keeps to herself. She is not aggressive. We have a newborn and we are moving soon so unfortunately we can’t keep her. I have a folder with all of her medical records, she is completely healthy and happy. A quiet home would be preferred, as she is very shy.
