Story
Rhiannon (aka Rhi-Rhi aka Little Lion) is a special cat looking for a calm home to spend the rest of her days. She loves to give gentle face sniffs, get a good brushing, and of course receive some good chin and ear scratches. Her two absolute favorite things in the world are lounging in afternoon sunny spots and her crinkled paper ball. Rhiannon spends most of the day dozing, but as soon as she hears the rustle of her paper ball she is at the ready to play a very slow game of fetch. She truly carries one of her many crinkled balls with her everywhere she goes and back to her bed before snuggling up to nap again. She also loves to stand on her hind-legs at the window and chirp at the birds! While Rhiannon still has a playful side, she is arthritic and a bit wobbly when she moves around. She takes 3 medications daily mixed into wet food (no fuss). She would do best in a home without other pets or very young children. (She has lived with another cat successfully while in the shelter, but she has not befriended her foster’s cats.) She’s made great progress in her foster home, opening up to receiving pets and being brushed, but she can still startle easily. She would benefit from living with someone who can read cat body language well and provide her space when requested. She will do best in a calm home with children.over 10 years old.

BigMan Is now at Cat House on the Kings rescue. 7120 S. Kings River Rd, Parlier, CA 93648-9720 Please contact them at (559) 222-0228 Age: born February 11, 2013 Sex: Male, neutered Breed: Domestic Shorthair - Gray Tabby and White BigMan is a lovely cat with the most gentle personality. Mostly, he wants to get hugs and rubs and sit on laps. I think if I let him sit on my lap all day that's what he would do. He is a total charmer and even well-behaved at the vet. He has been to two vet appointments (the first to get his shots, etc.) and then to OakVet. Without exception, all the vet techs and the doctors who have met him have fallen in love with him. He is such a good, sweet boy, and even before I rescued him from living outside. As you can tell, I really care about him. BigMan has had a full dental, he has tested positive for FIV. He is currently healthy but is positive for the FIV antibody. It is hopeful than a loving home can be found for BigMan as an indoor cat. BigMan is up to date on vaccinations, is positive for FIV, Negative for Feline Leukemia, and is microchipped.

Story
Eve is a tortured soul. She is incredibly sweet, has the loudest purr you'll ever hear, and craves a warm lap to lounge on, but she also has terrible anxiety. This leads to behavior that includes scratching at rugs, and peeing just in front of the litter boxes. We've tried everything we can think of, including giving her 3 clean, tidy litter boxes, but she still prefers to squat just in front or just next to them when she pees. We've managed this over the past 10 years, but our first child was born about a year ago, and the stress of trying to keep him safe while keeping her comfortable has become too much to manage. We believe that unfortunately the loud, uncontrollable energy of a 1 year old kid is not helping her feel more safe and comfortable. It is likely exacerbating her behavior, and we just don't know what to do. Our belief now is that the right home could help make her feel safe in her senior years. Someplace that offers a slower pace and a steady lap to curl up on.

Story
Ferdinand is a sweet boy who wants and needs a fair amount of attention and love, and has a lot to give in return. He can be a little shy around new people, but once he comfortable he is quite the ham. I have had him for about 3 years, since he was just turning 4 (he will be 7 in October), and for most of that time we had an easy and sweet time together. Unfortunately there were a few big changes in my life that have thrown a wrench into the works, and I want to be transparent about his current behavior. I adopted another cat about a year and a half ago, and while they get along great (they really are sweet to one another), Ferdinand also started peeing outside of the litter box occasionally. I then moved in with my partner and started working long hours, and things got worse . . . lately he has been peeing outside the box at least twice a week, and nothing I have tried (tests, CBD, prozac) has helped. In the right home he would be a wonderful pet. Happy to explain further!

Story
Whiskey is a friendly and cuddly 2ish year old cat. She kept showing up in our backyard looking for cuddles in August 2022. She looked unkept and malnourished. We started feeding her and giving her shelter while trying to find owners. After determining she did not have owners we took her to the vet and got her chipped + shots. The vet said she was a few months old at that time. We got her spayed soon after and she has been our indoor cat ever since. She's a nice cat but we have a newborn on the way and we are realizing there won't be time to give whiskey the love and care she deserves after the new baby arrives.
