Story
Meet Sunny. This 4-year-old male tabby is now available for adoption.Sunny is an affectionate cat who enjoys attention and is very vocal. He has a strong personality and is not shy about letting you know when he wants interaction. Sunny previously lived as a solo cat and has been selective with other cats in the shelter. Because of this, he would do best as the only cat in the home. He is currently a bit overweight and would benefit from a consistent feeding routine and regular activity.If you’re interested in meeting Sunny, please contact us at 949-718-3454 or email ACO@NBPD.org to schedule a meet and greet.

Speckles has more black on her face, and Patches has more orange. They are closely bonded and rely on each other for comfort. They enjoy playing with fishing pole type toys once they feel comfortable.If you’re interested in meeting Speckles and Patches, please contact us at 949-718-3454 or email ACO@NBPD.org to schedule a meet and greet.

Story
Meet Jolie! Jolie is a 2-year-old calico who is looking for an experienced cat home. She is a beautiful girl, but the shelter environment has been hard on her and she can be quite spicy with new people. She prefers to take her time getting to know you and will do best with someone who understands cat body language and is comfortable giving her space when she needs it.Jolie does not seem to mind the other cats here, and she might do well with a calm, respectful feline roommate. She will thrive in a quiet, patient home that can let her settle in at her own pace.If you’re experienced with cats who have big personalities and you’re willing to give Jolie the time she needs, she may be the perfect match for you. Contact us at 949-718-3454 or email ACO@NBPD.org to schedule a meet and greet.

Story
Tax Fraud is an adorable, playful little kitten with a big personality! He’s full of energy, curiosity, and just the right amount of mischief to keep you smiling. He loves to play, explore, and get into all the kitten antics you’d expect. Because of his active and social nature, Tax Fraud would do best in a home with another cat or kitten who can keep up with his playful (and sometimes mischievous) ways. Once he’s all tuckered out, he’s also a sweet little companion who enjoys attention and affection.

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Radish is a 6mo orange tabby boy who’s looking for his forever home! He can be a bit shy at first but once he settles, he becomes a sweet, cuddly boy who always wants to be by your side. He’s quite the lapcat who loves to snuggle and will even let you hold him like a baby and kiss him on the forehead. He adores belly rubs and butt scritches too. He’s very silly and playful especially if you bring out some wand toys. Once the wand toy comes out, he’ll be flinging himself around the room at full speed to catch it. He’s also a big fan of catnip toys. Radish is a high energy kitten so he would do best with a feline friend to keep him entertained and tire him out. He loves all new cats pretty much immediately so if you already have a cat at home for him to play with, you’re all set! If you don’t, he’d love to be adopted with his brother Fennel.

Story
Sabrina Ionescu is the spunkiest, silliest, bravest little girl. Due to an injury as a baby, she is partially paralyzed from the waist down, had her back right leg amputated, and needs to be manually expressed. But this absolutely does not stop this wild child from running, climbing, wrestling, and anything else she sets her mind on doing! Sabrina LOVES head pets, snuggling, and being a little goblin who hoards spring toys and mousies. This playful sprite would do best in a home with at least one other young kitty who likes to wrestle, chase, and snuggle. Sabrina loves people and attention and follows her foster mom everywhere!

Story
Sally is a bunny-soft, shy, and silly little tabby queen. She was born and lived her first few months of life in a hoarding house with 71 cats, a lack of food, and no human interaction, so she has some trust issues, unsurprisingly! She was the most scared of her three sisters, but has really grown to love humans. She isn’t a snuggly girl, but she will lay on the couch when her humans are on it. She doesn’t mind pets, and LOVES her back and tummy scratches, and is easy to get to purr, reminding her that humans are actually pretty cool! She is obsessed with churu, and food in general, and loves to hunt her stuffed animals and carry them around the house in her mouth, proudly. Sally needs an adopter who understands that she will take time to trust you, but gaining her trust is so, so worth it! She would do best in a home with no children, unless they are older and experienced with shy kitties. She absolutely adores the company of other cats, including her siblings, Moira Rose and Delia Deetz, but can take a little time to warm up to new cats.

Story
Its Martini! This little one was initially part of our TNR program but we saw she was friendly enough to try and give her a new chance at life. Martini has been in our care for over a year now due to her exceptionally shy nature. She has been working on accepting love, but is still a timid cat. Martini is curious about the people on her life, but prefers to be loved from a distance. She absolutely loves all her cat friends, playing with wand toys, and eating her favorite creamy treats. Martini needs someone with lots of patience and understanding. Her forever person will understand and respect her boundaries of being loved from a distance. She will come close enough to get treats, but is not a huge fan of getting pets/scratches. Martini would love to go to a home with another friendly cat.

**BONDED TO DASH** Violet was found in a preschool parking lot with her brother Dash. Violet has come a long way in her foster home but is still a little shy.
