Story

COURTESY POST: Toffee needs an experienced adopter. Read his shelter story below: Toffee is an 8-year-old black-and-white DSH who has perfected the art of being both sweet and spicy — sometimes within the same five minutes. This little spicy bean needs a cat-savvy hero. Now, let’s be honest. Toffee isn’t your average purring lap ornament. He’s got opinions. He chirps, he chats, he reaches out for affection... and sometimes throws in a few nails just to remind you who's boss. He’s not mean — he’s just selective. You know... like most cats, but with a stronger union contract. Think of him as the grumpy but charming neighbor in a sitcom — rough around the edges, but secretly the fan favorite. He doesn't compromise, but he does have a soft side. He just needs someone who can read the signs, respect the boundaries, know when to walk away... and definitely know when to run. If that someone, is you (or someone you know), please contact us. Thanks for considering Toffee. He may be particular, but he’s also unforgettable — and he deserves a home that appreciates his spicy flavor.

Story

MEET SONOMA! Sonoma was rescued from Devore Animal Shelter in November 2024 when he was just a month old, along with his mom, Fontana, and siblings Concord, Darlington, and Daytona. Too young to remember the shelter, he has grown up entirely in the safety and love of his foster home as part of the "NASCAR family." As very young kittens, the entire litter was quite ill, and while Sonoma recovered well overall, he was left with mild nerve damage in his hip area as a result of that early illness. Despite this, Sonoma is a happy, playful, and affectionate boy who enjoys life to the fullest. He loves chin scratches, responds with eager purrs, and is always ready for playtime--especially if it involves crunch balls, crinkle chutes, or cardboard boxes. His mobility and activity level are normal, and the nerve damage does not limit his ability to run, play, or enjoy daily life. He does occasionally experience urinary incontinence, something that is manageable and currently being supported with acupuncture treatments, which have been helping. Sonoma is otherwise a healthy, content, and loving cat. Sonoma is deeply bonded to his brother Darlington, and the two are constant companions--playing together, cuddling, and providing comfort and confidence to one another. Ideally, they would be adopted together into a calm, understanding home that values companionship and is comfortable with Sonoma's minor ongoing care needs. They are the last two kittens from their litter still waiting for a forever home. If you're ready to welcome this devoted pair into your life, please visit www.kittydevorerescue.org to submit an adoption application. ** Please note: Sonoma currently resides in a foster home in San Marcos, CA (San Diego County). Once an adoption application is approved, meet-and-greets are held at the foster home. Approved adopters should be prepared to travel for the visit.

Story

MEET DARLINGTON! Darlington was rescued from Devore Animal Shelter in November 2024 when he was just a month old, along with his mom, Fontana, and siblings Concord, Sonoma, and Daytona. Too young to remember the shelter, he has grown up entirely in the safety and comfort of his foster home. As a very young kitten, Darlington and his littermates were quite ill, but thanks to attentive care and lots of love, he made a full recovery and is now healthy, active, and thriving. Gentle, affectionate, and playful, Darlington is a sweetheart who adores chin scratches, lap snuggles, and cozy companionship. He’s also a joyful little character who loves collecting crunch balls, zooming through crinkle chutes, and investigating boxes as if they hold great secrets. Darlington is especially bonded to his brother Sonoma, and the two are rarely far apart—playing, lounging, and keeping each other company with an easy, affectionate rhythm that speaks to their deep connection. Darlington would thrive in a calm, loving home that values companionship and is open to welcoming a bonded pair. Ideally, he and Sonoma would be adopted together, as they are the last two kittens from their litter still waiting for a forever home and bring out the very best in one another. If you’re ready to open your heart to Darlington (and hopefully his brother Sonoma too), please visit www.kittydevorerescue.org to submit an adoption application. ** Please note: Darlington currently resides in a foster home in San Marcos, CA (San Diego County). Once an adoption application is approved, meet-and-greets are held at the foster home. Approved adopters should be prepared to travel for the visit.

Story

Evie is a sweet and beautiful girl. She loves petting and loves her people. She does not like other animals (even though she lives in a community cat room) and is very vocal about it. We think she would prefer to be an only girl. She can be bossy and bit her mom in her prior home (after being her sweet self) so we think she would be best in a home where she cannot be in control. Can this gorgeous and friendly girl join your family? Email anna.willis@sbcglobal.net if you would like to meet herOctober 7, 2025, 2:51 pm

Not good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Kyo is a sweet and outgoing 7 year old cat. He loves cuddles and being the center of attention. Champa is a loving but reserved 7 year old cat. He is loyal to the bone and just wants his pets. Champa does not enjoy being carried and will set his boundaries by bopping your hand. Both cats are neutered and have their vaccinations. They have never been socialized with dogs. Unfortunately I am not able to keep them due to restrictions in my apartment and my 1 year old having mild allergies. They have been my babies since they were born and it absolutely tears me to have to rehome them. I would prefer they stay together as they have never been apart but if I can find a loving home for each that’s okay too. I am willing to provide 2 cat litters and a big Costco bag of cat food.
