Hi everyone, my name is Clarabelle! I am a 2 year old, domestic short haired, brown tabby & white, spayed female cat who is medium sized. I'm a sweet and gentle girl who loves to greet new friends with soft meows and lots of head butts! I have been known to get overstimulated at times, so an experienced cat person is my ideal owner. No small kids please, as they can be too overwhelming for me. I'm an affectionate cat who is outgoing and enjoys playtime sessions! I'm looking for patient folks who will let me explore my new world at my own pace- even if it's slow! If I sound like a great match, come by and see me! - Clarabelle ID #A970338Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.

Story
Hello! I am Patches, the sweetest 1.5-year-old, spayed female, medium-size, domestic short-haired, Dilute Calico cat you'll ever meet! I may start off on the shy side, but with a bit of patience and purrfect pets, I will show myself to be the loveliest lady. I'm looking for a furever home where I can enjoy life to the fullest as the only kitty of the household, as I don't share well with others. I can get overwhelmed with too many pets, so an experienced adopter who can read my mood is ideal for me. I also am FIV+, which means I need to be indoors only as a solo kitty. If I sound interesting, come on down and ask for me by name! Patches ID#A965424   This cat tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus).  He/she otherwise appears to be in excellent health.  Cats with FIV can usually live for many years with no medical problems.  Usually at some point however the virus will start to affect them.  The most common thing that happens is that they get sicker than a normal cat would when they get a cold or other condition.  FIV is transmitted almost exclusively via bite wounds. For this reason we recommend that this cat should be an only cat and not be allowed outdoors.  New owner should be prepared to have expenses relating to veterinary care in the future. Please ask to speak with a PHS Veterinarian to learn more about this cat and FIV.  Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.

Hello there, my name is Moxie! I am a 1 year old, domestic short haired, orange tabby, spayed female cat who is medium sized.

Good day to all, I am Lucy! I am a 9 year old, domestic short haired, gray tabby, spayed female cat who is medium sized. I'm a curious and gentle cat who is ready for my furever home.

Story
Hi all, my human name is Webster (Jelico name is secret). I am a sleek and stunning buff tabby with mesmerizing amber eyes, if I say so myself. But I’m not just a handsome face! I love to play with mice (toy) — none are safe from me. I used to be very shy, but thanks to my patient foster family (and my love of treats and pets!) I am getting better and better all the time. I purr when I am held, and I am learning to love laps (check out the photos and video!). I love to be where my people are, and will follow you wherever you go. For the family willing to give me time to adjust, I will reward you with love, loyalty, silly antics, and mad hunting skills. I need a kitty friend and could be a good companion for a young, friendly, and active cat like me. I am fostered in Redwood City. If you would be interested in meeting me, please fill out this online application: https://forms.gle/3CcPeeAKWwQtj1a17
