Story
We MUST NOT let this mother and FOUR NEWBORN kittens be put back onto the streets! Mom is a SUPER FRIENDLY Calico Sweetheart- kittens were born last week (neighbor took the pregnant Mom indoors to be safe but cannot keep them there!) These four tiny babies are still WITH MOM, we need a FOSTER HOME for the four kittens WITH the Calico Mom! If you have a GUEST room or other SAFE SPACE where Mom can raise her babies, YOU get to PLAY WITH THE KITTENS and help socialize them, then YOU may be considered to adopt the PICK OF THE LITTER (Preferably two, of course, because kittens are best in pairs!) ACT FAST! With all of the RAIN COMING for the rest of the week its CRITICAL that these babies dont go back into the street! HELP! Please respond with a PHONE NUMBER and schedule a SPECIFIC TIME WINDOW to chat so we can expedite your application and SAVE THEIR LIVES!

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
Domestic Short Hair – Red Tabbies Males 4 Months 5 pounds WE ARE CURRENTLY IN A FOSTER HOME. WE ARE A BONDED PAIR AND MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER. Rancho Coastal adopts out kittens starting at 8 weeks of age. Many of them have been in foster homes for weeks and were even bottle-fed. If you are thinking about bringing home kittens, be sure to consider your time away from home and the ages of your family members. Kittens between the ages of 8-11 weeks old need more attention and care than older kittens. They need continued training and play time, and are generally better with older children. Kittens that are 4 months and older make better companions for young children and are generally more gentle during play. Rancho Coastal encourages adopting kittens in pairs, which is why we have created our “Two Purr One” Program: if you choose to adopt a pair of kittens, the second kitten has a waived adoption fee. Behaviorists recommend pairs because kittens benefit from the companionship and because they are more entertained, they do less damage around your home.

Story
Domestic Short Hair – Calico Female 1 ½ years 7 pounds Angel is a timid girl with a heart that’s still learning to trust. She can be hissy when she’s unsure, but underneath that tough exterior is a cat who just needs time, patience, and a peaceful home to help her feel safe. With a calm environment and gentle understanding, Angel will slowly begin to show the softer side of her sweet soul. Give her the space to settle in, and she might just become your quiet little miracle.
