Story
Panacea is an incredibly sweet, calm, and well-mannered girl who loves nothing more than gentle pets and quiet companionship. She’s the kind of cat who brings peace into a room just by being in it — affectionate, easygoing, and endlessly kind. She gets along beautifully with other cats and is wonderfully polite with small dogs, making her a great fit for many types of homes. Whether you’re looking for a cuddle buddy or a serene companion to share your days with, Panacea slips into routines with grace and warmth. Panacea was rescued from the euthanasia list at a high-kill shelter in Orange County after she and her young kittens were exposed to illness. Heartbreakingly, her babies didn’t make it — but Panacea herself stayed healthy, resilient, and gentle through it all. Now it’s her turn to be cared for. If you’re hoping for a calm, adaptable, affectionate cat who is grateful for love and gives it right back, Panacea is the perfect companion.

Story
Elixir quickly melts into the sweetest, most affectionate little companion. Once she decides you’re her person, she’ll snuggle up in your lap, make enthusiastic biscuits, and chat your ear off about her day. She is wonderfully expressive. Elixir loves to talk, whether it’s announcing mealtime, asking for attention, or simply offering commentary on whatever you’re doing. Her personality shines, and her confidence and humor make her an incredibly endearing companion. Elixir gets along well with other cats and is comfortable with small dogs, though she’s not a “must be part of the crowd” girl. She’s perfectly happy doing her own thing and then coming to her human for devoted cuddle time. She was rescued from the euthanasia list at a high-kill shelter in Orange County after she and her four young kittens were exposed to panleukopenia. Tragically, her babies didn’t survive — but Elixir stayed healthy, strong, and full of spirit. Now she’s ready for a life where she is cherished. If you want a sassy, sweet, vocal, affectionate companion who will keep you entertained and loved every single day, Elixir might be your perfect match.

Story
Vale doesn't quite live up to his Norse warrior god namesake... This cuddly, playful boy loves to curl up in laps, wrestle with his brother Vale, and kick around his favorite crinkly toy. He’s always ready for snuggles but also happy to chase toys around. Vale thrives on companionship and will reward his forever family with endless cuddles and gentle charm. Vale and his brother Vidar came to us from a crowded shelter as 2 week old bottle babies who needed a lot of time and attention. But as bottle babies, they're now some of the most social, cuddly kittens around! We would love for Vidar and Vale to find their home together, but they could go home separately. Tiny Kitten Coven requires that young kittens are adopted in pairs or to homes that already have a kitty playmate.

These cats are in National City, California too!

Story
Handsome was just 2 months old when he ran into the house I was staying at, he was being chased by coyotes and I happened to open door same time he was running by he turned and ran in. He was very feral. I bought him a tent put it in my room so he could decompress it literally to him 3 months to come out and let me pet him. Hes a one person cat very big and he is a scaredy cat indoor only no kids. He would do well with experienced cat person he needs lots of love and patience Im not in a big hurry to adopt he really needs a place he can run around as hes been living in my bedroom for 3 years he deserves better where he can have run of whole place. I prefer you own your home and he doesn’t have to move anymore hes a very clean cat as well hes not destructive I trained him with squirt bottle just have to shake it. He will go under a bed and tear up a box spring so he can hide. Other than that hes never done anything bad hes a great guy..

Story
Oliver is an extremely sweet, gentle 3 legged kitty. He was unfortunately hit by a car and suffered an injured front leg and a broken jaw. We got him the surgery and care that he needed and now he gets around just fine, jumping and playing like any other kitty. He has been neutered and has had all his vaccines, tested negative for disease and is in perfect health. The vet estimates him to be about 2 years old at the most. He happily eats canned pate style food and lives for affection. He is a beautiful cream colored boy with tan ears and a striped tail! He's got big dark eyes and has the loveliest personality. He uses his litterbox and is a good boy. He also has the cutest meow. He has lived with other cats as well as calm dogs and is friendly to everyone. He has been through a lot and deserves a loving, permanent home. (He doesn't really have any "special needs" but I'm checking that box so that people are aware he has 3 legs now so is a bit different.) A home check will need to happen for any serious inquiries. Thank you for choosing adoption!
