Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Mountain View, California

Due to an unexpected move from our home of 20 years, we are finding ourselves needing to rehome Khonshu. He is a 4 year old short-hair male who is an indoor cat. He is friendly, playful, and likes to sit by his people. Khonshu was born at a ranch our daughter works at, and we brought him home as soon as he was old enough!

This sweet grey boy grew up on the streets without consistent food or much human care, but you would never guess it from how quickly he learned to trust. He is the confident one of the pair — relaxed, curious, and a natural little leader. From the very beginning, we were able to pet him and even hold him in our arms. He enjoys being around people and has made incredible progress in foster care. He is also very bonded with his striped buddy. They love playing together, keeping each other company, and navigating new experiences side by side. He would love a home where he can continue growing into the affectionate, confident companion he is already becoming — ideally together with his best friend.

This handsome striped boy grew up on the streets without consistent feeding or much reason to trust people, so he approaches the world a little more carefully. He is the more cautious one of the pair, but underneath that shyness is a playful, sweet little cat who is learning very quickly that humans can be friends. He loves to play, and he has already started purring in his foster’s arms a huge milestone for a kitten who once had to rely on his instincts to stay safe. His confidence has grown tremendously in foster care. He no longer spends his time hiding and now comes out and waits for attention. He may need a little patience with new people, but once he feels safe, his playful and affectionate personality starts to shine. He is very bonded with his confident grey buddy. They play beautifully together, comfort each other, and the grey boy helps him feel brave in new situations. For him, a patient and loving home, especially one where he can stay with his best friend.

Seriously. We have questions. Because Max is the kind of kitten who thinks every human is his new best friend, every lap was specifically invented for him, and every room in your house deserves a thorough daily inspection. At just 4 months old, Max was abandoned at a cat colony in the Bay Area. Thankfully, one of our incredible DPS cat fosters stepped in and welcomed him into his home. (This foster currently has two other DPS foster kitties and is basically the Cat Whisperer.) It didn't take long for Max to settle in and prove exactly who he is. Spoiler alert... He's awesome. Max is one of those rare kittens who genuinely wants to be wherever his people are. If you're sitting down, congratulations... you've just been selected as today's lap. If you're walking around the house, he'll happily escort you from room to room, offering running commentary because this little guy has thoughts, and he feels it's only fair that you hear them. He's the kind of kitten who greets you at the door like you've been gone for six months instead of six minutes. 'WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I HAVE IMPORTANT KITTEN BUSINESS TO DISCUSS.' Our foster describes Max as incredibly loving, affectionate, and social. He's curious about absolutely everything. Cabinet door opens? Inspection time. Grocery bag on the floor? Better investigate. Laundry basket? Obviously built for kittens. Trying to make the bed? Max is here to help. Trying to fold laundry? He'll make sure every sock receives a proper quality-control inspection. Working on your laptop? Perfect. He was hoping you had a warm place for him to nap. Max also gets along beautifully with the other foster kitties. Whether it's a wrestling match, a game of chase, or a synchronized afternoon nap in a sunny window, he's always happy to join in. Because he's such a confident, friendly little guy, we think he'd do wonderfully in a home with other cats and would likely fit right in with respectful dogs and children, too. The best part about Max isn't that he's playful. It isn't that he's adorable. It isn't even that he's hilariously nosy. It's that he genuinely loves being with his humans. He's not looking for a house where someone occasionally remembers to feed him. He's looking for a family to do life with. Morning coffee? He's there. Movie night? He's already claimed a spot on your lap. Making dinner? He's supervising from a safe distance... mostly to ensure you don't accidentally drop any chicken. If you're searching for a kitten who will make your home feel happier, your couch feel cozier, and your daily routine a whole lot more entertaining, Max may have the most ordinary name in the world... But there is absolutely nothing ordinary about this little guy. October 7, 2026, 6:08 pm

Some are playful. Some are cuddly. And then there is the Café Con Leche crew, where apparently someone decided that the perfect recipe for four kittens was to combine equal parts sugar, mischief, personality, and absolutely no regard for personal space. These four 4 month old siblings are currently in Southern California and are ready to bring a little café con leche magic into their forever homes. Imagine coming home after a long day, putting your feet up, and having one of these little characters race across the room, launch themselves onto the couch, demand attention, steal a toy, climb into your lap, or curl up beside you for a nap. Basically, you're not adopting a kitten. You're opening a very small, very furry café. And there will be no closing time. COOKIE BUTTER Cookie Butter is proof that someone can, in fact, be shaped like a cookie. This handsome boy absolutely lives up to his name. His belly is round, soft, and looks remarkably like someone took a perfectly baked cookie and turned it into a kitten. Cookie Butter loves playing with his three sisters, chasing toys, and generally participating in whatever kitten nonsense is happening around him. He does, however, have one important rule: The toys are HIS. You may have purchased them. You may have paid for them. You may have lovingly placed them in a basket. But Cookie Butter has reviewed the situation and determined that ownership has been transferred. He is also a professional napper and very much appreciates a good belly rub. So after he has finished his regularly scheduled kitten activities, he'll happily flop down and enjoy some quality relaxation. Picture Cookie Butter in your home: racing through the living room with a toy, wrestling with his siblings, suddenly realizing he has exhausted himself, and then collapsing somewhere comfortable with his adorable round cookie belly on full display. He's sweet, he's silly, he's cuddly, and he's basically a cookie with legs. HONEY Honey would like to speak to management. Actually, Honey would like to speak to YOU. The moment you make eye contact with this girl, she starts demanding pets. Not subtly. Not politely. Not with a gentle little “excuse me.” Demanding. Because Honey has determined that eye contact is a legally binding agreement that you will now pet her. And frankly, she's probably right. Honey absolutely loves attention and has already decided that she will be Queen of the House. She loves being with her brother and sisters and can usually be found doing one of two things: Play fighting or napping. There is apparently no third option. She also lives up to her name in the sweetest possible way. Once you pick her up, she just melts into your arms. Imagine coming home after a long day and having Honey race over to greet you, demand that you acknowledge her royal presence, and then melt against you while you hold her. Congratulations. You have been chosen. Honey isn't going to be your cat. You're going to be Honey's human. LAVENDER If your ideal cat is one who believes the entire house is an obstacle course designed specifically for her, allow us to introduce you to Lavender. Her foster family calls her a ninja, and we are not about to argue with people who have witnessed her in action. Lavender bounces off walls. She parkours. She launches. She explores. She apparently believes gravity is merely a suggestion. And somehow, in between all of that, she manages to be an incredibly social little girl who gets comfortable in new environments fairly quickly. Her one request? Provide toys. Lots of toys. Because Lavender has places to go, things to investigate, furniture to conquer, and possibly a wall to bounce off of. Picture bringing Lavender home and watching her immediately begin mapping out her new kingdom. Five minutes later, she's discovered the couch. Ten minutes later, she's discovered the hallway. Fifteen minutes later, you're wondering how she got on top of something you didn't even know was climbable. And then, just when you're convinced you've adopted a tiny furry stunt performer, she curls up beside you like nothing happened. Lavender is adventure, entertainment, and affection all rolled into one very cute little package. TIRAMISU Every café needs something sweet and comforting, and that is exactly where Tiramisu comes in. This beautiful girl is the soft, sweet one who likes to take a little time to check things out before deciding that everything is okay. Tiramisu can be cautious when she first enters a new space. She likes to look around, take everything in, and make sure she understands the situation before fully committing to the fun. But give her a little time and watch her blossom. Once she settles in, you'll discover a girl who loves belly rubs, being held, and playing with her toys. She's the kitten who may spend the first day quietly investigating her new home... ...and then suddenly you're holding her in your arms wondering when exactly she became completely comfortable with you. Imagine Tiramisu curled up beside you while you watch television, eventually climbing into your lap for some attention, or happily batting around a toy before settling down for a nap. She isn't in a hurry. She's just waiting until she's sure she's home. And once she decides she is? You're going to get the sweetest Tiramisu imaginable. YOUR VERY OWN CAFÉ CON LECHE These four kittens would make an absolutely hilarious addition to a home because each one brings a completely different personality to the table. Cookie Butter is the round-bellied toy hoarder and professional napper. Honey is the demanding little queen who screams for pets and then melts into your arms. Lavender is the ninja parkour champion who believes walls are perfectly acceptable launching pads. And Tiramisu is the sweet girl who takes her time, then blossoms into a loving lap kitten. Can you imagine them in your home? A kitten racing through the hallway while another attacks a toy. Someone yelling from the other room because apparently pets have not been administered quickly enough. A tiny ninja flying off the couch. A kitten curled up on your lap while you watch TV. Four little personalities following you around the house, greeting you when you come home, entertaining you when you're bored, and eventually collapsing into a pile of sleepy kittens after exhausting themselves. That's life with the Café Con Leche crew. They're not just kittens. They're four tiny reasons to smile every single day. All four kittens are located in Southern California and are ready to find their forever families. Adoption Information:All kittens have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Adoption fee: $200 for one kitten or $350 for a pair. And while you technically can adopt just one... we're pretty sure two cups of Café Con Leche are better than one.   October 7, 2026, 6:08 pm

Meet Parker, a sweet 16-year-old black-and-white American Shorthair looking for a calm, loving home. We adopted him from San Francisco Animal Care and Control when he was 6 months old. Parker is laid back, affectionate, and loves being near his humans. He can be shy with new people but warms up quickly. He has lived with dogs his entire life and is comfortable sharing his home with them. He is neutered, microchipped, indoor-only, litter-box reliable, has no known medical conditions, and takes no medications. His veterinary care is through Santa Clara Pet Hospital, and records are available. He is due for his latest round of vaccinations. Since our recent move, Parker has developed a preference for scratching carpet, so he may be happiest in a home with mostly hard-surface flooring or with someone comfortable helping him adjust to new scratching routines. We want to find him a peaceful, loving home where he can enjoy his senior years.
