Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Oakland, California

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Visiting Room:2Meet Boomer: uncertain on the outside, softie on the inside! Boomer may look a little unsure at first, often huddled quietly against the back or side of his space, taking everything in with wide, cautious eyes. He can be a bit hissy or flinchy when someone approaches too quickly — but give him a gentle, slow introduction and you'll see his true personality unfold almost instantly. The moment he realizes he's safe, Boomer melts. He leans into pets, turns his head to guide your hand to the best scritch spots, and lets out soft, contented purrs. He enjoys dry treats, happily tucks into his wet food, and shows flashes of a deeply affectionate boy who's just learning to trust again.  Boomer will thrive in a calm, patient home with people who understand that sweet, sensitive cats need time and kindness to blossom. With a slow approach and gentle touch, this lovely boy transforms into pure sweetness. Boomer has lived with cats before—some of his buddies are here at OAS—and he would truly thrive being adopted with one of his feline friends or joining a home with a gentle resident cat.  December 31, 2025, 12:48 am

FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED URGENTLY:  Hailey is a gorgeous little girl, only about 16 months old, who was recently abandoned (twice!). She’s safe with us now, but we need a new foster, or an adoptive home, for her. Can you help? Hailey’s story: A kind person in Hailey’s original neighborhood tells us that another nearby resident took Hailey in as well as Hailey’s two brothers. But then that person put Hailey back outside... Then, another family took Hailey in with them but dumped her when they moved. Hailey has really been through it! She really needs and deserves a loving furever home. If your living situation is extremely stable and you love orange cats, this little girl may very well be the kitty of your dreams. Fluffy and adorable — she is as sweet as can be, but understandably she will be a bit reserved initially. Once she trusts and knows you won't leave her too, she will be the sweetest, most loving girl ever!! If you can foster or would like to adopt Hailey, or would just like more information, please text Deborah at 510-909-4961 (or leave a message) or email her at angusnfriends@outlook.com. All Angus & Friends cats are healthy, fixed, vaccinated and microchipped prior to adoption.December 30, 2025, 2:13 am

Hi, my name is Munchkin -- it's because I was the smallest of my litter!  My sister Sofie and I were born in July 2024.  We love to play and to take naps together in our foster's lap.  We are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together.   I have long, soft gray fur with a gray chin, white chest, white paws and a small white blaze on my forehead.  I also have long paw and ear tufts, so I could be a Maine Coon mix.   All Angus & Friends cats are healthy, fixed, vaccinated and microchipped prior to adoption.   For more information about adopting us, please text Deborah at 510-909-4961 (or leave a message) or send her an email at angusnfriends@outlook.com.  December 24, 2025, 10:32 pm

Rusty — The Gentle Giant Who Deserves a Second Chance Rusty once had a home of his own. Years ago, he was adopted and loved — or so he thought. But recently, this sweet senior boy was found scared and confused, surrendered to Peninsula Humane Society instead of being returned to us. After all he’s been through, he’s still gentle, trusting, and hopeful that someone will give him the forever home he’s always deserved. Originally rescued from the streets of Fresno, Rusty has weathered a lot, yet his spirit remains soft. He’s a big, sweet, shy fluffer who loves to be near his person. Rusty will pace back and forth beside you for pets or his favorite daily combing session — his happy place. He purrs and gives head bonks, then curls up nearby once he’s had enough affection. He’s not quite a lap cat, but he’s loving in his own quiet way. What he needs most now is patience, kindness, and a calm home where he can finally feel safe again. Rusty is on a prescription diet for urinary tract health and appreciates a roomy litter box with high sides — small accommodations for a big-hearted boy. Rusty has known what it feels like to be left behind. This time, he deserves a home that never lets him go. Available for adoption in the San Francisco Bay Area.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA:  Shadow and Chinchilla (Chin Chin) are a sweet bonded pair of lovely kitties that were rescued together from a large cat colony. They appear to be Maine Coon-mix cats, and are probably mother and daughter. They both have amazingly loud purrs!   Shadow and Chin Chin’s rescuer, Sara, provided us with this description of the girls: “Shadow was born in approximately May 2012.  She's very small for a Maine Coon mix (about 6 pounds) and has gorgeous all-black fur.  She loves to be brushed and petted and often meows loudly.  Her fur is curly, so regular brushing is needed to keep mats from forming.  She's even gotten used to stand-up brushing of her belly and will jump onto the cat condo so I can reach her more easily.  Once there, we sometimes touch noses.  She's the sweetest girl.  She's very docile and calm once she gets familiar with you and the household.  She doesn't even run when I vacuum.  She's also very good about eating oral flea medication with tuna or sardines. Chin Chin is gray and white and was born in approximately May 2016.  She's a bit flighty and will run away at first, even from me, but comes back as soon as I start petting or brushing another cat.  She returns even faster when I'm dispensing treats.  She is very playful and chases balls and other toys around the room.  She even has a regular morning romp with another cat from the colony.  She loves to be brushed and sleeps on my bed at night. Both girls are going to be shy at first with new people but with patience and gentle talking, treats and eventually brushing, they'll come around. Both of them have purrs that practically shake the house.  I can hear Chin Chin purring from another room, and she'll start even before I touch her.  Shadow starts drooling when she's purring.  It's so cute! There's no way of knowing for sure, but I believe they are mother and daughter.  They are definitely a bonded pair and need to be adopted together.   Both are in good health.  I give Shadow daily hairball gel and Chin Chin a powdered probiotic in her food.  They are good about using the litter box and grooming themselves.  Shadow and Chin Chin have both been spayed and will be up to date on vaccinations prior to adoption.  They are good with other cats; no dogs or children please. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a Courtesy Post, and Shadow and Chin Chin are living in a private foster home with their rescuer Sara in Hercules, California. If you would like more information, please contact Sara at s_garetz@yahoo.com. Please Note: These cats have not yet been tested for FIV/FeLV, to our knowledge. Potential adopters should confirm the cats’ status with their rescuer and should consult with their veterinarian for recommendations regarding testing.July 21, 2025, 10:05 am
