Story

Meet Munchy! Munchy makes friends easily, and you canâÂÂt help but fall in love with him. He has a mellow, laid-back purrsonality and enjoys soaking up all the attention youâÂÂre willing to give. Cheek scratches are his absolute favorite! While Munchy loves affection, itâÂÂs important to pay attention to his body language since he can sometimes get overstimulated with too much petting.Munchy is FIV positive (feline immunodeficiency virus). Many FIV+ cats live long, happy lives and make wonderful companions with regular veterinary care and a loving indoor home.Munchy would love nothing more than to be your best friend and cozy couch buddy.April 6, 2026, 11:30 pm

Story

Meet Squirrel – The Gentle Observer with a Tender Heart. Part of a bonded TRIO with Gilbert and Laserjet. Get ready for a lifetime of entertainment with these 3!!! Squirrel is a 11 month old brown tabby girl with the softest fur and the sweetest, most thoughtful gaze. She’s the shyest of her siblings, often hanging back to watch new people with wide, curious eyes, just making sure you’re the kind of human worth trusting (no offense). But once she decides you’re okay? You’ll see a whole new side of her. Squirrel is playful, and absolutely adores snuggling with her fellow kittens. She recently discovered that she does in fact like being pet, and every time she leans into your hand or curls up near you, it feels like a little miracle. 💕 Squirrel will thrive in a calm, patient home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace. She must go to a home with another friendly young cat, as she finds comfort and courage in feline companionship, or she can be adopted with one of her siblings. Interested in adopting? Please visit our website at www.thecatsmeowanimalrescue.org to fill out an application. One application covers all cats and kittens staying at our Petco locations, and those in individual foster homes. Questions?

Story

Meet Gilbert! A bonded TRIO to Squirrel and LaserJet. Get ready for a lifetime of entertainment. This incredibly sweet and affectionate young boy has come a long way. Found inside an abandoned house alongside his brother and sister, Gilbert was initially shy—but once safe in his foster home, his true personality blossomed. Now? He’s a total love bug. Gilbert purrs when he drinks water, when he’s being held, and especially when he’s being gently pet—he practically melts in your arms. At around 4 months old (as of August 2025), this charming little guy is also polydactyl, meaning he has an adorable six toes on each front paw—like he’s always wearing mittens! He’s playful, curious, and loves the company of other cats. Toys are a big hit, but the best part about Gilbert is watching how far he’s come—from a scared kitten to a snuggly, confident sweetheart. Gilbert is ready to find a forever family to love him as much as he’ll love them. Could that be you? Interested in adopting?

Meet Laserjet – The Perfect Blend of Sweet & Silly! He is part of a bonded trio with Squirrel and Gilbert! Get ready for a lifetime of entertainment. Laserjet is an 11 month old brown tabby and white kitten with soulful eyes, soft fur, and a quiet personality. He’s not the shyest of the bunch (that’s his sister Squirrel), but he’s not the boldest either. Laserjet lives somewhere right in the middle—curious, gentle, and quietly affectionate. He loves to play and explore, but he’s also happy to curl up nearby and keep you company. He’ll accept pets with a calm purr and occasionally surprise you with a lap visit when the mood strikes. He’s thoughtful, sweet, and endlessly endearing. Laserjet does great with other cats and needs a home with a young feline friend, or he’d love to be adopted with one of his siblings. He’s ready to settle into a home where he can be his playful, gentle self and grow into the loving companion he’s meant to be. Interested in adopting?
