Story
Brother “Dutch” for Dutch Bros. In August 2022, this kitty- now young adult was found lurking in the inventory of a Dutch Bros in Stockton. My friend who worked there, at the time, asked me and my friends in the car, if we wanted a kitty on the side with our drink orders. At the time he was no bigger than my size 6 shoe and was malnourished to be the size of a 1 month old than a 3 month old. He’s been with me for 3 years and is about 3 and 1/2 years old. Dutchie is an indoor cat, an only child, loves playing with strings and lasers (but not too much), he’s cuddly and behaved - unless he wants to play. He likes to cuddle when you watch TV.

Story
Hello! My name is Kiwi and I'm about 8 years old. I'm a very talkative boy, especially when I'm feeling strong emotions. The shelter environment is stressful for me, so you might find me hiding in the small portion of my kennel. I really like treats and feather toys. I have lived with cats previously. I enjoy being pet on my own terms and only on my head. Do you want to meet me? Interested in adopting? Visit our shelter during open hours and ask about Kiwi A058016March 19, 2025, 7:47 pm

Story
Meet Scylla This playful young girl loves spending time in the backyard, especially darting through plants and soaking up the action. Scylla has a feisty, fun-loving personality. She’s more into playtime than cuddle time at the moment. She’s social and enjoys wrestling with other cats (but never too rough!), so she’d love a friend around her age to play with. While she is not what you would consider a lap cat, she’ll come running for wet food and will let you scoop her up. Confident, energetic, and always curious, Scylla will bring excitement to her forever home. www.elkgrovecatrescuegroup.com/applications

Story
Hello! Meet Pantene - named after the hair care brand because she's so darn soft. 6 months old and just a sweetheart, Pantene takes a little bit of time to warm up to you due to her shy nature, but once she's comfortable with you she will demand pets constantly. Playful and friendly, she loves a churu snack and wants to be your best friend. She also gets along with other cats! Her best friend in the shelter is Cowboy, her kennel mate. Interested in adopting? Visit our shelter during open hours and ask about Pantene A060600November 10, 2025, 6:48 pm

Louise is a 4 month old kitten looking for her forever home! I have Cerebellar Hypoplasia, which just means I’m a little wobbly on my feet but don’t worry, I get around just fine! My cute, wiggly walk is part of my charm. I’m a shy, gentle kitten who warms up quickly. I enjoy soft pets, quiet playtime, and a cozy space. Let me show you my soft side and my silly little wiggles.Kittens do best in pairs! Please consider adopting me with another cat or kitten if you don`t already have a young, active cat in the home!I have no history with other cats besides my sibling, I may do well with proper introductions.I have no history with dogs, I may do well with proper introductions and management.I have no history with children, I may do well with proper management and supervision.

Story
Jr. is one of five born on July 5th in our yard. His mother is a community cat that we look after. We took the litter in and have been looking after Mom and the babies ever since. Unfortunately, we have too many animals, and we can't keep him permanently. Jr is the biggest personality of his litter. He loves to sit in weird positions and is often seen sleeping fully on his back or draped over pillows. Like his twin, Hunter, Jr is very vocal when he is playing. He will cry or complain when wrestling, but the second they let up, he'll attack, proving it was all an act. When he isn't playing, he is snuggling. Jr LOVES a good head scratch or belly rub. He never hesitates to claim a lap, even if it's already occupied. He is very bonded with his brother Hunter, but would be ok being adopted alone. Medical note: A case of tapeworms hit the litter, two of them caught it pretty bad and were actively treated, but he was not affected.
