Story
Luna is a gorgeous, long-haired loving and sweet cat that wants human attention and care. She so loves to be petted and brushed and to hang out with you. She has lovely long gray fur with a cute little white patch on her chest. She looks as if she has a lion's mane with her fur collar! Luna is a lap kitty, but is content to lie in her little bed next to you. When I, as her foster mom, read up in her room, she faithfully lies on my legs keeping me warm. So cozy! She runs to you upon arrival in her room asking for pats and belly rubs as she flops over, and she has fun chasing strings and feathers. She kneads your belly or the ground when she is happy or enticed by her string toy.She is ok with non-alpha cats as she is a bit timid, and possibly with very gentle dogs--but no experience there. Luna is spayed, vaccinated, litter box perfect, uses her scratching posts exclusively, and recently had teeth cleaned. She is the sweetest girl and needs her home with a kind and gentle person in a quiet household. Please consider Luna for your gentle home. To adopt Luna, please email: cregers@comcast.net for an application December 8, 2025, 9:25 pm

Story
Meet Mama Katie (MK):  This darling, talkative, confident, kitty is a true survivor. She was rescued from the streets with two kittens and instantly showed her gratification by snuggling up to her rescuer. Now that Mama Katie is an empty nester, she is able to grow into her true personality: an opinionated, loyal, bold, vocal, and sensibly sweet gal.   Some things to know about Mama Katie: she has been through a LOT of change in the past couple of months, transitioning between multiple foster homes after being raised on the streets. So, while MK is affectionate, kind, and adaptable, she still gets overwhelmed by constant change like any normal cat. When this happens, she needs time to decompress and reassurance that she is safe and loved.   MK needs to be the only cat in the home as she is territorial and protective of her human and personal space. She has shown indifference to dogs, but it’s not clear how she will integrate with one in the home.   MK is an active, young adult, who appreciates a human who will give her lots of attention when asked, but space when needed.             MK is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on flea medication.       Please consider giving MK the permanent home she deserves and needs.            Email mayrasanchez@stanford.edu for an application.   November 8, 2025, 11:35 am

Story
Meet Otis and Tuff: Bonded Kitten Pair for Adoption Born in April 2025  Otis: Otis is a classic orange tabby bursting with goofy energy and gentle affection. This inquisitive kitten has an easygoing temperament and a knack for making friends with every cat or kitten he meets, greeting them with a bold invitation to play. Once a feral kitten, Otis may take a moment to warm up to humans, but once he trusts you, he’ll melt into your lap with a purr so loud it warms your soul. His funny, charismatic personality lights up any room, and his acrobatic leaps for wand toys—jumping several feet in the air—are a blast to watch! Otis' favorite pastime is chasing wands, and he pairs perfectly with his beloved brother, Tuff. Tuff: Tuff is a handsome, curious kitten with a heart full of adorable kitten qualities. Rescued as a very young kitten with a severe tail injury, he now sports a charming little bobtail after a partial amputation. Like his brother, he gets along wonderfully with other kittens and cats, diving into playtime with enthusiasm and cuddling just as hard afterward. Whether he’s chasing fuzzy toy balls or soaring for wands, Tuff is all in—until it’s time to snooze happily beside his brother. Shy at first, Tuff blossoms into a loyal companion who won’t want you to leave once he bonds with you. About the Pair: These boys are a bonded pair who must be adopted together, as their love for each other is unbreakable. They are neutered, microchipped, and up to date on their vaccines, ready to bring joy, playfulness, and endless purrs to their forever home.  If you’re looking for a dynamic duo to fill your life with love and laughter, Otis and Tuff are the perfect match!

Story
Born November 2024, meet Lyra, a charming teenage kitty with a heart full of potential! Rescued at just 3 months old from a feral colony in a Hayward motel parking lot, Lyra showed early signs of tameness that convinced her trappers to give her a shot at a loving home. Now blossoming into a young cat, Lyra is ready to find a patient, understanding, and caring family to help her thrive. Lyra is a bit shy at first, but with a calm and steady approach, she opens up beautifully, revealing her sweet and playful personality. She feels most secure in a home with other neutral cats, who help her feel safe and confident. Once comfortable, Lyra’s bursts of energy are a joy to witness—she can zoom around for hours, especially when chasing her favorite cheetah feather wand or pouncing on fuzzy mice toys. With the right environment and a little patience, Lyra transforms into a rewarding companion who will steal your heart. Adopt Lyra and discover the wonderful cat she’s destined to become! Lyra would do best in quiet home with another cat to have as a friend. A family with small  children and  teenagers would be great too. Lyra is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines. Fill out our adoption questionnaire so you can meet her. https://form.jotform.com/pinkpawsftc/adoption December 7, 2025, 2:21 pm

Story
Meet Molly & Dash – a bonded kitten duo looking for their forever home together! Born 6/28/2025 Prepare to fall head-over-heels for the cutest pair in town: Molly, the sleek black beauty with eyes that sparkle like midnight stars, and Dash, the stunning Siamese kitten everyone dreams of adopting. These two are completely inseparable and must be adopted together; where one goes, the other is sure to follow! Molly is a gentle, soft-spoken princess who takes a little while to warm up. She’s not big on being picked up right away, but give her a quiet moment and some gentle pets, and she turns into a purring love-bug who can’t get enough affection.  She’s the queen of the highest cat tree perch, surveying her kingdom with elegant grace, and the undisputed champion of “first in line for Churu.” This smart girl is wonderfully dog-friendly (she currently shares her foster home with a 100-lb gentle giant) and gets along beautifully with other calm cats. Dash is Molly’s hilarious Siamese sidekick and the definition of quirky charm. He’s a total goofball who zooms, pounces, and makes the silliest faces that will keep you laughing all day. Like his sister, he prefers to set the cuddle pace; he might dart away at first, but once he decides you’re his person, he melts into the sweetest, most rewarding snuggler. Treats are his love language; wave a snack and watch this little charmer come running! Together, Molly and Dash are the perfect balance: she’s the calm, observant yin to his playful, silly yang. They groom each other, nap in a tangled pile of paws and tails, and bring twice the joy, twice the purrs, and twice the entertainment. These two just need a patient, understanding family who will let them settle in at their own speed. In return, they’ll reward you with a lifetime of head boops, playful antics, and the deepest kitten love you’ve ever known. If you’ve been searching for a gorgeous bonded pair; one classic black panther kitten and one stunning Siamese; Molly & Dash are ready to dash straight into your heart. Adopt them together and double your happiness! You can meet them in person at the Petsmart store at 3520 El Camino Real, San Mateo, CA Both kittens are spayed/netuered, microchipped and up to date on their vaccines.
