Story
Catbus came to me in 2020, rescued off the street by a friend at just 6 weeks old. She has been with me since, along for adventures including a cross country move and back. I am no longer in a place to manage her care, and am hoping to find a loving home that can provide the level of attention and care that she deserves. She is an incredibly special kitty, outgoing and adventurous, and is leash and harness trained. Catbus has an unknown seizure condition that requires the administration of medication every 12 hours. She is very easy to medicate, but this does require a stable schedule and availability to be home both mornings and night. She would do great in a home with other pets, but has been doing great on her own in her current foster home. Medication costs are manageable but an added expense to her care. Catbus would be an excellent match if you are seeking a fuzzy little goofball in your life. If you are looking for an adventure kitty, she could be the one for you!

Story
Meet Muffin! 💕 Muffin is my sweet 7-month-old kitten who is full of love, energy, and personality! She’s very playful, active, and curious. She loves running around and exploring but also loves cuddling up next to you at night. Once she gets comfortable, she becomes your little shadow and always wants to know what you’re doing, haha! She’s incredibly sweet, affectionate, and not aggressive at all. Muffin has been 100% indoors since birth, so I would prefer she stays an indoor-only cat. Unfortunately, due to unexpected personal circumstances, I’m no longer able to keep her. This has been a heartbreaking decision because I love her so much. My biggest priority is finding her a safe, stable, and loving forever home where she’ll receive all the love, attention, and care she deserves. 💗

Story
Fynn is nearly 13 years old, cuddly, vocal and loves to play fetch. She loves to be in the sunshine and prefers to pee/poop outside instead of the litter box. She is not very daring; she's content hanging in the backyard and won't try to climb fences. She has delicate teeth so needs to eat wet food. She'd be best suited with someone who is home all day and can let her in or out as needed. She is patient and tolerant but does best with older (calm, patient) kids. She has moved more than 8 times in her life (all in Northern California) and adapts to new spaces well. I originally adopted her from the Marin Humane society when she was a few months old. She goes by Fynn, Fynny-Fynn, Kitten, Baby Kitten, Baby, Boo-boo, Sweet-Sweet, and has the sweetest meow (Ba-goo) and a more exuberant one when she has successfully "hunted" her wand toy.She is most active and playful right after meals and likes to get her zoomies out, outside around 9 or 10pm.*I'll provide some food, bed, blanket & fav toy

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.

Story
I'm Ulu, a sweet, curious little lady with a gentle, affectionate side! I can be a little shy at first, so I like to observe everything around me and find creative little hiding spots while I get comfortable. Once I warm up, I love asking for pets and will happily purr away while you shower me with affection! I'm also a big fan of Churu treats. I'm not much of a morning kitty-I prefer to sleep in and save my adventures for the evening. If you're looking for a sweet, observant companion who will reward your patience with lots of love and purrs, I might be your girl! Primary Color: Brown Tabby Weight: 9 Age: 1yrs 3mths 3wks
