Kittens and cats in Danville, California

Cinnamon and Lady Catherine are a bonded pair of fluffy 7-year-old cats. (Might be siblings; we are not sure.) Theirs is a bit of a hard-luck story, and they have some special needs. They’re looking for that special home to help them blossom, so if you think that might be yours, read on! Six years ago, the two fluffballs were trapped in a retail parking lot as part of a feral cat fixing program. Both seemed pretty feral at first, but with one needing extra medical care and both being so doggone cute, their rescuer just couldn't bear to return them to the parking lot. She kept them at her home and worked with them, seeing substantial progress over time. Cinnamon is a cute-as-can-be orange male cat. When he first came to us, his tail was dragging on the ground. It was found to have permanent nerve damage and had to be amputated. He didn’t seem to miss it, and has just a cute little nub on his backside now. Cinnamon has developed a sweet, demure and laid-back personality. He has such a lovable begging face when he wants pets, purrs very loudly and looks so serene when he receives them! After some time in foster care, Cinnamon was noticed straining to urinate and was found to have bladder stones. He had surgery to remove them, and thereafter was placed on a prescription diet formulated to keep the bladder crystals from recurring and forming into stones. Right now he’s primarily eating Hills S/O dry food. (Increasing the amount of wet food would probably be even better if you can.) At any rate, he’s been maintaining on the diet for several years now, and the bladder issue has not recurred. To check up on him, we had an ultrasound done very recently, and the vet found no signs of additional stones forming. So, it’s a good indication that the diet is working as planned and keeping him healthy. The food is easy to obtain, and while it is a little more expensive than regular cat food, it’s not outrageous. Lady Catherine is a drop-dead gorgeous calico female and Cinnamon’s best buddy. She is shyer than Cinnamon, and would require a good dose of patience as she settles into a new location. Once she gets to know someone, she can be quite friendly, rubbing coquettishly on the cat tree and hoping for a visit. She does blow a bit hot and cold and sometimes just isn’t in the mood at all. We are sure that with more personalized attention, she would continue to blossom further and really get the chance to live her best life. For convenience since they are roommates, Lady Catherine has been eating the same food as Cinnamon (it doesn’t hurt for her to eat it, even though she doesn’t require it). What is so much fun about these two, is watching them interact together. They spend most of their time sitting and cuddling together, or sort of weaving around each other with purrs and nuzzles. It is really sweet to see how much they love each other! A couple years ago, this pair actually did get adopted. Their new dad adored them but tragically, he passed away unexpectedly, and the family called the rescue to come repossess the cats. They had been blissfully happy in the home, and they do not understand why they had to come back to foster care. From this experience, we know Cinnamon and Catherine would need a quiet home with patient person(s) willing to take it slow. It would probably go best to keep them in one room of the house for a month or possibly a couple months until they acclimate. They would not be a good fit for a home with kids or dogs; they have gotten very accustomed to quiet adults. They do get along great with other cats, but of course there is the food requirement so if there are other cats eating other food in the home, you’d need a method to separate Cinnamon for feeding (which certainly is not impossible and we can talk about strategies for this, if that’s your situation). Both kitties are about 7 years old at this time. I know most people will think this is too old for a new cat… keep in mind however that with proper care, indoor kitties typically live 15-20 years. Cinnamon and Lady Catherine have a whole “ACT TWO” ahead of them! They are special kitties, and so very deserving of that second chance to live their best life. They have been fixed, brought up to date on vaccinations, and tested FIV/FELV negative. They have always done a great job of using the litterbox! There is an adoption donation to the Feral Cat Foundation (an all-volunteer organization, which helped get them out of a bad situation and provided all of their medical care) to help us continue our work with homeless cats. If you would like to meet this fluffy pair or have any questions, please reach out by phone or email!

“Java”, a beautiful brown tabby cat was found as part of a cat colony, living in a creek bed behind a gas station. A trapping session ensued, and everyone was brought safely into foster care. All cleaned up nicely, and Java has spent some time in the foster home learning that these “human” creatures can be pretty good buddies after all. He is 4-1/2 years old and has been waiting for a while, hoping to find his forever home. Java is an inquisitive kitty and likes to give all visitors’ hands a very thorough sniff. He’s still a little shy due to his rough start in life, but a little patience will pay off big time; he LOVES a good petting session and will rev up the purr-motor for a quiet and gentle touch. While he’s past the super crazy kitten stage, he’s still quite energetic and loves toys, especially the jingle ball and the kitty fishing rod. Because he is still a bit shy and will need an acclimation period to his new home, Java is looking for a household with some prior cat experience and without small children. He gets along beautifully with other cats -- you can see him in the photo snuggling with his buddy, Annie. He could be a great choice if you are looking for a buddy for your current cat, or, he and Annie could also be adopted together as a pair. Java has been neutered, vaccinated, and tested FIV/FELV negative. He took to using the litterbox like a pro! There is an adoption donation to the Feral Cat Foundation (an all-volunteer organization, which helped get him out of a bad situation and provided all of his medical care) to help us continue our work with homeless cats.

Still waiting for her furrever home! Finley is a special lady. Very friendly. Gets along well with other cats. Fostered with a small dog. She has chronic rhinitis which causes which causes congestion and sneezing. She will occasionally need antibiotics and nose drops when the sneezing gets severe. She is also a calici carrier, so it is important that other cats in the household stay current on vaccinations.

These beautiful kitties were part of a group of 8 that were dumped in a creek bed. Passersby were feeding them – sometimes actual cat food, but some days the cats only got Rice Krispies to eat. Fortunately, a rescue person soon ran across the kitty family and took them back to foster care. These two are the last pair, looking for their forever home … could it be yours?? Candy (Tortie – 20 months) and Cream Puff (Grey & white – 12 months) are mother and daughter. While kittens sometimes distance from their moms with time, these two have remained inseparable in their foster home, constantly playing together and grooming each other. They would love to find a home wanting two kitties so they can remain together. They will keep you constantly entertained with their antics (just watch out for your shoelaces)! Candy has always been an extremely social and confident kitty. Cream Puff is a bit more timid and tends to follow Candy’s lead with time. Cream Puff will take a little extra time to settle into a new environment, however once she gets comfortable, she is also very curious, friendly and affectionate. Cream Puff seems to have a sensitivity to grain in her food (causes soft stools). Switching to a grain-free diet seems to have solved this issue. Grain-free is readily available and is often a better choice health-wise for cats anyway, so it has not been much of a hassle. Both kitties have been spayed, vaccinated, de-wormed, and tested FIV/FELV negative. They have always done a great job using the litterbox! There is an adoption donation to the Feral Cat Foundation, an all-volunteer organization which provided all their medical care, to help us continue providing care to kitties in need. If you are looking for two kitties and think yours might be the happy home Candy and Cream Puff are looking for, please give us a call!

Shy, playful kitten. Needs a playmate. Showing at Petco in San Ramon
