Story
I'm Tampa, and I'm here to win your heart with my sweet and affectionate nature! 💖 I've got a personality that shines bright, and I thrive on being with you. Cuddling up together is one of my favorite pastimes, especially when you give me those head scratches and chest rubs—I just can't resist them! Unfortunately, my previous owner didn't appreciate my loving nature and abandoned me to the cold and rainy streets. Luckily, a kind neighbor came to my rescue, and now I'm on the lookout for a forever home where I'll be cherished and loved for who I am. I'm a tidy kitty who loves to keep things neat and clean. You'll often find me perched on my scratching post, gazing out the window and watching the world go by. Whether you're working, reading a book, or watching TV, I'll be right by your side, keeping you company and soaking up all the love you have to give. I come fully prepared—I'm spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, deflea'd, and microchipped. All I need now is a loving human like you to give me the chance of a forever home. Will you open your heart and home to me? I am Looking forward to the possibility of becoming your furry companion,

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
Chai is a sweet and spunky calico-tabby mix. She was born in April 2021. We have an Australian Shepherd and a Husky, so she has been raised with two big dogs. She is good with dogs and likes to play with them. She is independent but absolutely loves cuddles. We are looking to rehome her because since we had a baby in February 2023, she has had very little space to herself. She is very gentle with our baby and is never aggressive. She just seems to feel anxious and displaced as she has to share her space with everyone else. We love her so much but we think she would be happier in a home where she had more room to roam freely. She is spayed, vaccinated, and a fully indoor cat. While she will do well with other pets, she would definitely thrive being the princess of the house. Adoption fee is to ensure she goes to a home where she is truly wanted. Fee includes: Litter box that looks like a plant Automatic feeder Gravity water dispenser Cat carrier Any leftover food/litter/treats

Ori is such a sweet girl! She is more reserved than the others but she likes quiet and calm affection and really likes return visitors who she gets to know! Once she gets to know her human friends - she remembers them and will say hi and reach out to them. She may need some quiet support to get comfortable initially to transition as she can be reserved at first - but she will come out of her shell!

We MUST NOT let this mother and FOUR NEWBORN kittens be put back onto the streets! Mom is a SUPER FRIENDLY Calico Sweetheart- kittens were born last week (neighbor took the pregnant Mom indoors to be safe but cannot keep them there!) These four tiny babies are still WITH MOM, we need a FOSTER HOME for the four kittens WITH the Calico Mom! If you have a GUEST room or other SAFE SPACE where Mom can raise her babies, YOU get to PLAY WITH THE KITTENS and help socialize them, then YOU may be considered to adopt the PICK OF THE LITTER (Preferably two, of course, because kittens are best in pairs!) ACT FAST! With all of the RAIN COMING for the rest of the week its CRITICAL that these babies dont go back into the street! HELP! Please respond with a PHONE NUMBER and schedule a SPECIFIC TIME WINDOW to chat so we can expedite your application and SAVE THEIR LIVES!

Story
Aries is a 2 year old Calico. She is very anxious and cold, but kind when she wants to be. She is very calm and is very smart. Aries loves to play, likes to explore, but can easily slip away. Unfortunately, as a student I am unable to take care of her and her medical needs. She has been peeing all over the house (I am sure she needs medical attention, which I am unable to pay for). She hates water, loves treats, and can defend herself (especially when excessively bothered). It takes a lot for Aries to trust someone, she needs a calm and quiet environment with no kids and no pets and someone who can emotionally/financially support her. Aries hates feeling trapped, (especially in carriers). She will only cuddle on her own and loves warm blankets. She is cute and silly in her own way. I have had Aries since she was a couple weeks old, she is my first pet, and I simply want to find a good home for her. I know she may not be the best in the bunch, but she is definitely worth the effort.

Story
This is Keekers she is 9yrs old and she was born in Hawaii and I adopted her when she was 8weeks old. She is the the type of cat that will love on you when she wants it she is great with our male cat but no sure how she would do with others as she has grown with him. She would be great for older children not toddlers or preschool aged. She has become increasingly more aggressive with my young kiddos over time we tried to rehome her and our male 2yrs ago but decided to take other options to make life better for them and it hasn’t worked out. They hide constantly. I want a better life for them.

These pups are in San Diego, California too!

Story
Purrjury was brought into Smittens with her 3 kittens. They have all been adopted, but she is still waiting. Her ears are collapsed from chronic ear infections in her outdoor days, and she has only half a tail a tail that was also injured and paralyzed in her outdoor cat days, when she had to live rough and fend for herself. You would never know it by listening to her purr, though! She's an absolute sweetheart. Purrjury will purr up a storm whenever she might get attention, and she loves to make biscuits while you talk to her. She plays fetch, and sometimes she even brings the toy back! She loves wand toys, treats, and taking naps with her human. She'll even let you know when it's time for bed!Purrjury does not like sharing attention with other animals. She likes to be your one and only! She will bully other cats. But she's a complete sweetheart with people, and can't wait to find a home where she will be showered with the affection she missed out on for so many years while she was on the streets!
