Colorpoint Shorthair kittens & cats in Novato, California

Meet Lafayette aka Lafifi, an incurable flirt with a new outlook on life. He entered our Mended Cape program on Mardi Gras 2025. He was initially surrendered to the Solano SPCA, however, he rapidly declined in their environment and they reached out for assistance with placing him into a foster based rescue with our SUPER team. This handsome and chatty boy had a difficult time, regulating his anxiety and stress so we begin to seek a cause for his inconsistent behavior. Long story short he had a retained testicle that was pumping testosterone through his veins and leaving him feeling like a teenage boy on the edge. Our fantastic vet partner has removed his ‘pest-isle’ and he’s on his way to being a happy, well adjusted, house cat once more. We are currently seeking a long-term foster who has the opportunity to adopt him. He may not have a significant relief from his hormones until December 2025, but he has stopped displaying most of the unwanted behaviors that an intact male would. He is a gentle, chatty, playful, affectionate boy who does well with women, calm dogs, and patient confident cats, but he would be happy to soak up all of your attention and be the center of your world. Did we mention he talks?

Sophie is a sweet, 6-month-old calico kitten rescued from the streets of West Oakland just two weeks ago, and she’s ready to find her forever home where she can thrive and share her gentle spirit. Sophie has short, mostly white fur with gorgeous brown and black calico markings on her tail, face, and back and weighs approximately 7.5 lbs. Sophie is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and has tested negative for both FIV and FeLV. She has no special medical needs, and she is not declawed. Sophie has quickly adjusted to indoor life and is fully litter box trained with impeccable house manners—she’s never scratched furniture. Her personality shines through in her love for cuddling and snuggling right next to her humans, especially while they work. Sophie exchanges contented purrs for pets, often rubs affectionately against her caretakers, and gets adorable zoomies a few times each day, mostly in the evenings. She’s quite playful and enjoys toys like wands, small balls, and yarn. This sweet girl has interacted calmly with other cats and is steadily learning to coexist with dogs, hissing less each day as she gets more comfortable with her cockapoo housemates. While she hasn’t met young children yet, she’s proven to be adaptable and loving in her current indoor environment. Sophie has been living in the primary bedroom to help her adjust, and she’s doing wonderfully in a cozy, safe space. She loves Nulo Puree Lickable Cat Packs and a bit of catnip, which she’s recently learned about. She’s playful, enjoys a chat now and then—especially when she’s hungry or when someone enters the room—but isn’t overly vocal. She would blossom in a loving, permanent home with caring humans, possibly with other pets if introduced slowly. Sophie’s ideal environment is warm, gentle, and safe—one where she can cuddle, play, and show off her sweet nature every day. Sophie is truly a special kitten who deserves the very best home and a wonderful future. Please reach out to Jake's Place if you'd like to meet her! Sophie is considered a Courtesy Listing. Jake’s Place offers our services to help other responsible rescue groups or individuals find good homes for cats in need. We have screened and interviewed each of the individuals before agreeing to post their cats.
