Story
I need to sadly re-home two beloved cats due to my partner's worsening allergen-induced asthma - we have tried every option over the last 3 years and nothing has worked. Simon - light orange male tabby, neutered, microchipped, 6 years old (DOB: Nov 2019) I adopted Simon at 4 months old from a foster program in San Francisco. He was too afraid to be at the local SPCA. He is incredibly timid. I have never met a cat with a greater fight or flight response. If you sneeze too loudly, he may sprint to the other room. That being said, he is very sweet and beautiful. When he eventually warms up to you, he loves to be petted. Sometimes he wants to get in your lap, but his flight response still makes him nervous and often he gives up. They can come with dry and wet food, an automated feeder, litter trays, cat toys/trees. We are looking for a home that will love them and keep them safe.

Story
I need to sadly re-home two beloved cats due to my partner's worsening allergen-induced asthma - we have tried every option over the last 3 years and nothing has worked. Carl (Carl Katsell) - Gray male tabby, neutered, microchipped, 7 years old (DOB: May 2018). Carl is the pet love of my life. He is named after the NPR reporter Carl Kasell and also goes by Carlos or Carlito. I adopted Carl when he was 4 months old. When Carl warms up to you, he will be your best bud. He will want nothing more than to sit in your lap, especially if you have a blanket on your lap. He rarely meows, except when carrying his favorite toy, an old cat toy that looks like a wine bottle. This is his security blanket toy. They can come with dry and wet food, an automated feeder, litter trays, cat toys/trees. We are looking for a home that will love them and keep them safe.

Story
Mila is a 4 year old beautiful petite domestic short haired spayed female cat with a sweet, affectionate personality. I tamed her from being a feral kitten. I knew her for several months before I rescued her, 3 years ago, from a place where I routinely fed colony cats. She is healthy, loves to cuddle, great with other cats, playful and super sweet! She would thrive in a loving forever home!

Story
Star and Scarlet are two sleek, stunningly gorgeous healthy black female juvenile kittens, just 11 months old. They were rescued from a cat colony of mostly black and tiger-striped cats during the height of kitten season. When I first found them, their tiny eyes were crusted shut, they were dehydrated, and so very hungry—without help, they would not have survived. Now, after lots of love and care, these girls are very healthy and have blossomed into two of the sweetest, most affectionate kittens I’ve ever fostered. They’re playful, curious, and absolutely full of love to give. 🐾 Star – The ultimate lap cat! Star adores being held, cuddled, and will practically hug you back when you scoop her up. She has silky, midnight-black fur with a tiny white spot on her chest that shines like her namesake. A purring machine, she’s happiest snuggled close by your side. These two sisters are incredibly bonded and would love to find a forever home together.

She’s playful, curious, and impressively agile—leaping high after toys and exploring with joy. Her silky black fur is accented with a faint little white patch on her chest, giving her a unique charm. These two sisters are incredibly bonded; I am looking to find home together.

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. Yourtube video playing fetch: https://youtu.be/-paUD1sGXn8 Rhiannon is vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia, and is microchipped.
