Story
Devi is the cuddlebug of her litter, a sweet tortoiseshell girl.   While she loves to play, especially with her bolder sister Dora, her first priority is always a cuddle and nap in your lap. Her big purr will put you in the mood for a nap too! Dora and Devi are a wonderfully complementary pair.  While both are fun-loving and affectionate, Dora will always want a play session before a cuddle while Devi favors a lap and a nap before some gentle playtime. As tiny newborns, Dora and Devi were hidden away on the roof of a house, under the eaves, by their mama-cat.  We spent weeks trying to find these kittens, and only found them when they got big enough to come out of hiding and begin to explore the roof on their own.  But they were terribly underweight because there was no food on the roof, and their mama's milk supply was inadequate for the kittens.  However the upside of their roof isolation was that they were hungry enough to be very friendly to people who provided regular meals!

Story
Fremont must have strayed from his home or been abandoned, maybe left behind when his family moved away. This kitty is extremely friendly and people-oriented, so if he was previously owned, he had no reason to be fearful of people. But when he wandered into a local business, it was clear that he was looking more for a decent meal than for human companionship, though he readily accepted both. The business owners and workers welcomed the cat, and he was offered temporary quarters in one of their cars, with clean, fluffy blankets on the seat, as you see in the pictures. Now housed with one of our foster team members, Fremont is living the life of Riley: plenty of food, plenty of affection and attention, plenty of safe indoor space to roam, plenty of toys. This kitty is ready for adoption, and would be a welcome addition to your household. Neutered, tested, microchipped, FVRCP & rabies vaccinated, and treated for fleas and worms.

Story
Pixi is pretty, playful and petite, perky and purr-y.  She's perfect! This girl is confident, curious and very affectionate too.  She and her buddy Woody are wonderful companions for each other and for their people, and just so much fun.  We just can't say enough good things about these two young cats! Pixi was a homeless cat living on the fringes of an encampment of homeless peoples, and perhaps their kindness made her quick to adapt to live as a rescued indoor cat.  Right out the trap she was ready for pets and hugs and began purring almost immediately.  This pretty girl loves to play with toys and to chase and wrestle with Woody, but she also enjoys quiet time birdwatching (through windows), curled up for a nap with Woody,  or better yet, cuddling with you. Please note: Pixi should be adopted with her best friendMore information & application [ts=1765728014&src=aap]

Story
Occasionally when we rescue street cats, we find one that appears to be royalty in disguise.  And such was the case with Princess Dasha.  Dasha's mama cat moved her 3 kittens onto a roof to keep them safe, but she did not have enough milk for her kittens, so they were underweight and very fragile.  Once in custody with plenty of food and care the kittens slowly recovered and each began to show their own distinct personality.  Dasha is calendar-cat beautiful, a rare orange and white female. (Did you know that most orange cats are male?) While she loves to play like a kitten, she can be a bit reserved around new people, as befits royalty.  But once you have earned her trust (which does not take long) she will shower you with purrs, affection, and invitations to play. Dasha loves to nap in your lap or next to you, and is extremely huggable, with a soft almost-medium length coat.  To this Princess, the lap of luxury means YOUR lap.

Story
Her name, Greta, is an anagram for Great because she is!  So outgoing, so playful and loves to be with people.  Unlike some cats, Greta even enjoys meeting new people.  If you think cats are stand-offish and independent, Greta will change your mind. This super-friendly, super-affectionate kitten has overcome a very hard start in life. She was a "surprise" kitten because she had never been seen by the kind woman who was feeding homeless cats, although other kittens that we suspect were Greta's littermates were seen and rescued early.  When she was trapped she was in really terrible condition and looked quite skeletal.  That was surprising because there was plenty of food in that area, so perhaps she was trapped in a shed or garage for a long-time.  She was so weak that she had several infections, but those could all be treated quickly.  Then it was just a matter of providing plenty of food and love.  Greta responded with purrs and love and grew into a beautiful, well-muscled healthy gray and pale orange tortie girl who loves to make her people happy. Could Greta be your girl? More information & application [ts=1765728014&src=aap]

Story
Kevyn, a rare female creamsicle-colored kitten, will look lovingly into your eyes while she falls asleep on your lap. She got her name because for weeks we assumed she was a boy as so few orange cats are female! Kevyn’s favorite activity is watching TV cuddled up on your lap or shoulder... or just cuddling up on you.  The only thing she loves as much as that is (1) playing with her sister Dasha, and (2) exploring new people, places and playthings. She’s got BOE - Big Orange Energy and so much personality! Kevyn and Dasha are the perfect pair because they keep each other happy and engaged.  This adorable pair would be happiest adopted together! Kevyn and her sisters were bottle babies, abandoned by their mother, a feral cat who didn't have enough milk to nurse her big litter.  Their foster mom lovingly raised them, feeding them every four hours, day and night, until they were strong enough to eat on their own.  So Kevyn and her siblings are super loving and affectionate because they knew their people-mama rather than their cat-mama.
