Story
BigMan Is now at Cat House on the Kings rescue. 7120 S. Kings River Rd, Parlier, CA 93648-9720 Please contact them at (559) 222-0228 Age: born February 11, 2013 Sex: Male, neutered Breed: Domestic Shorthair - Gray Tabby and White BigMan is a lovely cat with the most gentle personality. Mostly, he wants to get hugs and rubs and sit on laps. I think if I let him sit on my lap all day that's what he would do. He is a total charmer and even well-behaved at the vet. He has been to two vet appointments (the first to get his shots, etc.) and then to OakVet. Without exception, all the vet techs and the doctors who have met him have fallen in love with him. He is such a good, sweet boy, and even before I rescued him from living outside. As you can tell, I really care about him. BigMan has had a full dental, he has tested positive for FIV. He is currently healthy but is positive for the FIV antibody. It is hopeful than a loving home can be found for BigMan as an indoor cat. BigMan is up to date on vaccinations, is positive for FIV, Negative for Feline Leukemia, and is microchipped.

Story
Georgie's a very chill cat. Strong and agile when she feels like playing, but the majority of the time, lower energy. Often docile and maybe aloof, Georgie is a sweetheart. Good healthy appetite. Beautiful light gray tabby coat with white chin, belly, and boots. I have been looking after Georgie, her mum, and three sisters for five months now. They've grown strong and healthy and now need more space and individual attention than I can provide. Adoption fee goes towards cost incurred for her spaying, shots, and microchip.

Story
I'm a cat! No I'm a dog! No you aren't -- you are a cat! Buddy is one of those kinds of cats that forgot he is a cat! He's that special breed of catdog! You can put him in a harness, walk him around. Looking for a true companion? This is your boy. This 9 year old cat named Buddy was being fed by a nice lady in Burlingame after showing up during the rain storms She knew he did not belong outside and rescued him from the weather. We learned he had been abandoned by 2 different families. Buddy craves human interaction and is good with other cat friends too. He has a sweet, outgoing, friendly demeanor, making him an excellent choice for those seeking a best friend in a cat companion. He quickly acclimates to new indoor surroundings and people. Despite his friendly nature, he has a lot of energy when it comes to “hunting” the laser pointer and pouncing on it! He also enjoys climbing up the cat tree, and adores staring out of the window. He has a love for treats and will happily accept them, making her a joy to bond with. Most importantly, Buddy is incredibly friendly towards new people, approaching them with a brush and following them around for more love and attention. His affectionate personality, makes her an irresistible addition to any loving home. Buddy will do well in a home where there are people around all the time with a family that will never abandon him ever again. Fill out our Adoption Application and meet this special guy in person.

Story
A friend in deed! If you have ever had a black cat, you know how special they are. Ava is no different. A sweet, 4-year-old girl who recently lost her person and needs a new family to love and dote on her. 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
Looking for a buddy for your existing kitty? Tucker is a sweet little kitten who loves to play. He gets along great with the young adult kitty in his foster home. He has a curious personality, and loves to be around you all the time. He gets along with strangers and other cats. One moment he will be cuddling on your lap, and next, will be running around playing with his toys. It is impossible not to fall in love with this little guy just as fast as he falls in love with you. He will be your right hand man, best friend, and will bring you so much joy the second you bring him home ?? Tucker is fostered in Redwood City. He needs to be adopted to a home that already has a young, friendly kitty. Kittens need a feline playmate to play, wrestle, groom and sleep with them.

Story
Darla is better than Netflix! She brings the party-cat fun with her energy and antics. She brings the warrior-princess drama as she hunts her toys -- and growls if anyone gets near her "prey." If you are actually watching Netflix, Darla will curl up against your legs on the sofa with her favorite mousie toy and enjoy the show. A single pet will get her purring. She is very curious, loves to explore and is training for Cirque do Soleil with her acrobatic acts. Darla is smart, and will stand up like a bunny for treats. You just can't be bored when Darla is around. Darla and Diego are loving littermates. They need to be adopted together! Darla and Diego are fostered in Millbrae. 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.

Diego is a sweetheart! And so talented. He will ask for pets by raising his paw to your hand, and is currently training for the National High-Five Championships, Kitty Division (not a real competition, but if it were Diego would totally crush it). Diego is also training for the National Lounge Lizard Championships, Kitty Division (also not real, alas). He can often be found testing best possible poses on the sofa, or practicing his come-hither looks for the camera. He will gladly sub for you on a work video call. Diego follows his sister Darla's lead and loves to play keep-away all over the house, then curl up with her for naps. They need to be adopted together! Darla and Diego are fostered in Millbrae. 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.
