Story
Stop by today and meet Miss sweet Sonja the cat! She is a small compact cat but with lots of love to give! She immediately greets people at the door for cuddles. She enjoys lots of pets and if you happen to stop, she will let you know to continue by nudging you with her head. She purrs when given attention too! Miss Sonja might not be too fond of other cats so she might need to be the only cat in the home or need a very slow introduction to other cats. Sonja has a medical history that a cat counselor can go over with you in detail if you are interested.

Story
Brief BioStevie came to the shelter in March 2024 and was diagnosed with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) which causes her to have uncoordinated movement. During her time in foster, I found her CH to be very mild. She can still walk and run normally and use her litter box, but you will notice a slight wobble in between. A home that can provide her accommodation to refrain from climbing high objects such as a cat tree is recommended. You can see more of Stevie on instagram: @fellowfosters Summary of PersonalityStevie is an affectionate cat who loves to play and be held. Her favorite toy is her mouse and loves to carry it around with her. She is an easy going cat especially with things like nail trimming. Stevie has built so much confidence since she came into foster. She was initially skittish to loud sounds and sudden movement, but was quick to regulate. Slow introductions to change is recommended for her.Home Life (experience with kids & other pets, etc)Stevie had done well with my adult resident cats and my German shepherd dog. She is mindful of their space and initiates play. Stevie has not met kids during her stay with me, but I think she will do fine with them.Is your foster litter box trained?Yes

Yoshi is the sweetest chillest little boy ever since I’ve got him he’s been so good and a little cuddle bear. He’s great with kids and once he gets comfortable he’s great with other cats! He’s very scared of dogs however. He is not aggressive at all and not a very vocal cat unless he’s a little hungry. No prior health issues he’s always been super healthy. This boy is truly my dream pet and he’s full of love unfortunately I’m having to move and can’t take him with me I just want to find this sweet boy a happy home he deserves.

Luka is an extremely affectionate cat once he opens up to you. He loves to sleep beside you on his own bed and will sometimes crawl on you for extra cuddles. He’s a really clean boy and loves to help groom the other cats in the house. He’d be a perfect addition to any family with other animals, including both dogs and cats. He is super playful and loves chasing after his favorite mouse wand toy as well as playing tag with the other cats. He has the cutest, high pitched meows that can capture anyone's heart! Age: 2 Years Old Sex: Neutered Male Color: Black FIV NEGATIVE / Felv NEGATIVE Luka is currently in a foster home.

Bonnie and her brother, Clyde, were rescued from being stray cats at four months old. We got the call to pick them up after a neighbor shot and killed Bonnie and Clyde's other sibling. These two kitties are the biggest homebodies. They love to cuddle you and they especially love to cuddle each other. They are super chill and laid back, making the perfect cats for any household. They are a bonded pair and must go home together for $80.

These pups are in Sacramento, California too!

A small kitten was heard mewing outside of our house and we took him in with the intention of finding him a home. Things did not go according to plan and he ended up living with us for much longer than anticipated. Now we're getting back on the ball and hoping to find him a home. He's lively but not too too energetic. Very friendly. Always wants to be involved.

Felix was born near an Amazon facility. He and his sister were wondering the trailer yard a few days before they were caught and cared for. They were a month old. Felix is now 10 months old and still playful as ever. When it’s dinner time, he so excited and growls as he eats. He’s a cuddler but only for a little while until he’s meowing to get out.

Pilot was found in engine area of vehicle as kitten in Nov 2023. Got loose in house. We earned trust over these months and now able to pet Pilot but not yet pick him up. He’s still playful and now wants to be near or next to us. Unfortunately we have a large dog who is curious, which means Pilot doesn’t get the attention he craves. Pilot needs a home and companionship.
