Story
If you have ever had a black cat, you know how special they are. Ava is no different. A sweet, 5-year-old girl whose persona passed suddenly and is looking for a new loving home. Ava loves to cuddle and appreciates having your full attention. Looking for a lap cat and companion, look no further. She would make a wonderful family companion and would do best in a home where she is the only kitty. Ava is a Chatty, Playful and an Affectionate girl, a little cruck at the end of her tail adds to her charm. Show her a feather toy and you've got her attention. Kitty tunnels are a favorite place to play. Fill out our Adoption Application so you can meet Ava in person.

Story
Meet Penny the sun goddess! I’m a pretty 13 year old Calico with the most beautiful green eyes. I was born near Serramonte Ford in Colma, I was rescued with my mom and sister in 2011 who were adopted long ago. I’m a good girl, I use the litter box, and the scratching post. I like sleeping on a human’s bed. I do like to be petted-but on My terms. I'm learning that getting people pets are great and I'm starting to ask for them more and more. I spend my day at the center looking for the sun, I love basking and sleeping in the sunshine but am happy when the volunteers come in to give me attention. I am an active and incredibly smart girl, but can also be quite independent. I need an experienced cat owner (I tend to favor Men) who will give me the time and patience to help adjust to a new home. I maybe alright with children 12 and over that understand the ways of cats. I prefer to be the only cat in the household. Fill out our Adoption Application and meet this special girl in person.

Story
Dory is an adorable kitten: She is playful, curious, and energetic. You just need to throw her a toy, and she will come up from wherever she is to play to her heart's desire. She is entertaining and independent. If you don’t have time to play with her, she will find a toy and play by herself in a way that is bound to make you laugh. She is easygoing and lively. Sometimes she sleeps on her pillow the whole afternoon, but when she’s ready to play, she plays with all her might! Dory is fostered in Belmont. We adopt kittens in pairs unless you have another young kitty at home. They need a feline playmate to play, wrestle, groom and sleep with them.
