Story
What a LOVER is Cinnamon Toast Crunch! For this affectionate boy there is NOTHING in the world BETTER than head scritches! What would Cinnamon do for head scritches? He would stand on his head! He would solve the Riemann Hypothesis! He would create Peace in the Middle East! He would sing a duo in a Music Video with Taylor Swift! BUT MOST OF ALL... he will LOVE YOU FURever! If YOU LOVE GINGER cats... THIS is YOUR BOY! WHAT is the IDEAL home for Cinnamon Toast Crunch? A quiet home, where folks are home at least half of the day. A home he can share with his BFF tortie "Marsha-Marsha-Marsha'! A home where he can follow you around, love on you, keep you company while you work! This GENTLE, GOOFY boy is both LAZY and PLAYFUL in turns. He is the WHOLE KITTY PACKAGE! EVERYTHING GREAT about Ginger kitties all rolled up in one RIGHT HERE. If ANY of these are YOU, please contact our rescue for a chat ASAP! Respond with BOTH a phone number and the BEST TIME WINDOW to chat. ORANGE/GINGER/GOLD kitties are HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. If this is YOUR BOY, ACT NOW! SEND AN EMAIL IMMEDIATELY! (PS: So sorry, we ONLY adopt inside SAN DIEGO COUNTY lines)

Story
Bella is 11 years old and got a clean bill of health from the vet in April 2026. She has been an indoor/outdoor cat all her life. She needs unrestricted access to a balcony/patio/yard. I have been her only companion. Her new companion should be someone who doesn't have other cats or dogs. Bella loves a good back scratch and is very affectionate when receiving one. She doesn't like to be picked up, but she will snuggle between your feet at night, and sit next to you on the couch. She has her claws but will never scratch you. She's a really sweet, calm girl.
