Hi everyone, I'm Nina! I'm a 4 year old, domestic short haired, brown Tabby, spayed cat who is medium sized. When we first meet, I'll greet you with headbutts and soft meows! I love the attention and playtime but I can get overstimulated! Although I'm a super sweet and friendly gal, I would feel more comfortable being the only cat in your house!

Story
Hi everyone, my name is Clarabelle! I am a 2 year old, domestic short haired, brown tabby & white, spayed female cat who is medium sized. I'm a sweet and gentle girl who loves to greet new friends with soft meows and lots of head butts! I have been known to get overstimulated at times, so an experienced cat person is my ideal owner. No small kids please, as they can be too overwhelming for me. I'm an affectionate cat who is outgoing and enjoys playtime sessions! I'm looking for patient folks who will let me explore my new world at my own pace- even if it's slow! If I sound like a great match, come by and see me! - Clarabelle ID #A970338Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.

Greetings friends, my name is Hera! I am a 4 year old, domestic short hair, brown tabby, spayed female, who is medium sized. I'm a playful and affectionate gal that needs someone who will give me the time to show my very cuddly personality.

Story
Hi all, my human name is Webster (Jelico name is secret). I am a sleek and stunning buff tabby with mesmerizing amber eyes, if I say so myself. But I’m not just a handsome face! I love to play with mice (toy) — none are safe from me. I used to be very shy, but thanks to my patient foster family (and my love of treats and pets!) I am getting better and better all the time. I purr when I am held, and I am learning to love laps (check out the photos and video!). I love to be where my people are, and will follow you wherever you go. For the family willing to give me time to adjust, I will reward you with love, loyalty, silly antics, and mad hunting skills. I need a kitty friend and could be a good companion for a young, friendly, and active cat like me. I am fostered in Redwood City.
