We take pride in offering you a personalized adoption experience with continuing behavioral support as needed. -Mindy Gould, CEO  Hi, I’m Bryn!   I’m a sweet, loving girl with a heart of gold.. seriously, I’ve even worked as a therapy cat  for Paws to Share! I adore people and love being part of their world. I’m gentle, cuddly, and would make a wonderful Emotional Support Animal for someone who needs extra love and comfort.   Don’t let my calm side fool you, though — I’ve got a playful streak! I love to run around, chase toys, and play with my cat siblings. I get along great with both cats and dogs, so I’d fit right in with a furry family.   Once I’ve had my playtime, I’m all about curling up beside you for snuggles and quiet moments. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate cat who can bring comfort, laughter, and love into your life, I might just be your perfect match.   Adopt me through Act 2 Rescue and let’s start our next chapter together! *Note:  A2R kitties are all sterilized, fully vaccinated (if old enough), socialized in private homes not a cattery, they usually receive high end cat food, probiotics, & regular health care. We also provide 30 days of Petcademy free to support transition into your new home as well as having a professional cat behavior coach on staff to support your needs. We take pride in going above and beyond in our customer and kitty service. When you adopt from us you become part of our A2R family and join a community through our social media as well. Be sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok and You Tube. _______________________________________________________________________  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please be aware we are a small foster based rescue in Riverside, California. Our volunteers often have other jobs/careers as well. We are not a government funded shelter and all of our donations including adoption donations are used to run the rescue and help the animals in our care. Since we are no kill, higher fees for in demand breeds help us cover critical care.  We are always in need of volunteers, donations, and fosters. Please excuse any wait times as we are often inundated with emergencies or short staffed due to the overpopulation crisis. You can learn more about us on our website or follow us here.   Steps 1-2  of the ADOPTION PROCESS must be done before we do OFFICIAL MEET & GREETS or take deposits.  To keep animals healthy,  we limit  foster based meet & greets  to people fully qualified to adopt them.   No animals can be held without a $75 deposit. Deposits cannot be refunded if you change your mind, they are to hold a cat and can result in other adopters being told they cannot adopt. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.  Application:  Log into our website and complete the adoption application at link below: Applications :  Forms (rescuegroups.org) 2. Virtual Home Check: Once your application is approved, check back if you haven't been scheduled for a virtual home check within 48 hours.  A virtual home check to ensure safety of your residence for your kitty (not perfect cleanliness). You will be told during the visit if you pass.  3. Official meet & greet with your kitty at an adoption event, foster care, or adoption center depending on location of the kitty.   We only have a few  volunteers,  so we apologize at times we fall behind due to high demand of some cats.  5. Sign adoption contract and, if appropriate, foster to adopt clause. 6. Pay adoption fee via zelle using act2rescue@gmail.com (not our phone number) or using cash. We can accept cards at adoption events but the terminal charges fees that are pretty high so it's not the best option.  7. Take your kitty home. Be sure to isolate kitty while they adjust to your home. We may check in from time to time to be sure you do not need any additional support because we love hearing how our kitties are doing. As volunteer staff, happy stories are literally our paycheck.  8. Check out our website https://act2rescue.org for resources, blogs and info on how to best take care of your new kitty. Our professional behavior coach is available via text to assist you with transition as well. We also have a Facebook group to interact with our behavior coach and other kitten care experts, as well as our A2R family like you! ****Please note, we do not have dedicated staff for phone lines so please text instead of calling. If the cat/kitten is listed, they are available. However, they could have pending applications or meet and greets scheduled. Filling out an application and approval does not obligate you to adopt the kitty. If they are not a fit...we have plenty of other kitties for adoption. This kitty has received at least two FVCRP vaccines, rabies if over 4 months, Revolution for fleas/ticks/heartworms/stomach parasites/ear mites, de-wormer, sterilization*, and microchip (you must register for it to work but it's free).  All kitties are given a general wellness check by a veterinarian prior to sterilization.  Deposits: The only way we can hold a kitty is with a non-refundable (if you decide not to adopt within 2 weeks not if we void the adoption) deposit of $75. We reserve the right to void the adoption up until the point the contract is signed. If we cancel the adoption (for kitty health or other issues) we will refund your deposit. If you wait longer than 2 weeks, we cannot hold the kitty due to space constraints. Your deposit could be used on another kitty. If you decide not to adopt at all, any deposit will go to the care of animals rescued with us and may be written off as a donation.   Foster to Adopt: Kittens must be 2 lbs or 8 weeks and fixed to be adopted. This will be noted in the approximate available date. If a kitty is unable to be fixed in a timely manner, they may foster to adopt. This would be all adoption paperwork and donations would be exchanged and the kitten would go home. Adoption paperwork will have a clause that it is not final until animal is sterilized.  Once the sterilization appointment arrives you must bring them in to be sterilized or the animal will have to be returned to the rescue. You may also have them sterilized on your own and show proof to the rescue. Once sterilized the adoption will be complete. We normally do not do these in this manner but due to extreme situations they may arise. Final health checks are done during sterilization. Any unknown health issues would also allow you to choose a different cat.   Failure to comply with sterilization will result in returning the animal to us without refund of donations. Breeds:  We cannot guarantee breed but do our best to identify possible breeds based on their appearancxe and personality. If you DNA test your furry friend, let us know the results. It is fun to see what the kitty actually is and how close our guess is. Please know not all DNA companies test for all breeds and the science is still catching up so it may adjust later to have breeds we saw. We like to know so we can improve our analysis too.   We cannot guarantee health but go to great lengths to have healthy kitties. Kitties do not live in a cattery but in private fosters for this reason.  Snap Testing: We do not test for FELV/FIV in healthy animals as it is often incorrect in animals under 6 months and can be a false positive. False negatives also give a false sense of security. These tests are best done if an animal is unhealthy to determine disease.  https://www.uwsheltermedicine.com/library/resources/why-are-some-shelters-no-longer-testing-all-cats-for-felv-and-fiv November 30, 2025, 4:10 pm

Was rescued from a neglectful owner and is currently being fostered. Upon adoption she will be spayed with up to date medical information. Currently eats bagged and canned food, uses litterbox as well. Name: Pecan Occupation: America’s sweetheart Likes: looking out the window, laying on you (mostly face, neck and chest), being nosy and watching what you are doing, playing peek-a-boo behind door, face rubs, butt pats, talking Dislikes: loud noises (like a dog barking), being alone, belly rubs, not being allowed to lay on you. She’s a very sweet, kind and gentle soul that needs someone present and experienced in her life. She was neglected but now she is used to being loved and embraced and I intend to make sure she will be loved in her next forever home. Will take inquiries, and chat but will not do any rehoming prior to December 31st. Would like to get to know you first and see if you and Pecan would be compatible with one another.

This beautiful girl is Venus, she is 3 years old. Her birthday was in April of 2022. She is shy at first, but once she feels safe, she's very sweet. She's very vocal and will always chat with you when she wants attention, food, or just company. She loves lounging in the sun, so a home with a catio would make her especially happy. She's very active and enjoys running around and exploring. We're heartbroken to part with her, but we know she deserves a loving and stable home where she can thrive.

Meet Coca — A Sweet, Loving Companion Looking for Her Forever Home 🐾❤️ Coca is a beautiful cat with white, black, and a little touch of brown in her fur — truly one of a kind. Her personality is just as special. She’s gentle, affectionate, and loves being close to her person. If you walk from room to room, she’ll quietly follow you like your little shadow. She enjoys calm spaces, soft spots to relax, and all the love you’re willing to give. Coca is easy to care for, great with people, and has a warm energy that can make any house feel like a home. She deserves a family that will appreciate her sweet spirit and give her the love she gives right back. Rehoming fee optional/negotiable — my main goal is to find her a good, safe, loving home.
