Story
Tiny is about 5 years old. We brought her in about 3 years ago because her previous owner had a roommate that found out she was allergic to cats. She is shy and cautious, but comes out in the evenings and really enjoys attention. From the get go, we noticed she was extremely nervous around our dog (about 70 lbs), but kept hoping that she would adjust with time. Well, 3 years has gone by and she really hasn't changed much. There are glimpses of her letting her guard down, but she always end up reverting back to her old self. That being said, we think she would do best in a quiet home without any other pets. She is pretty low maintenance. She does not require a ton of attention, but enjoys a good rub, particularly around her head and ears. She will also chase things like a laser or toy. We really hope to find her a home where she can feel more relaxed and free.

Story
Please only contact if you can take both of my cats, Olive and Lemon. They are not biologically related but they have been together since babies. Lemon is a very playful cat. She was born in July 2018 on a street and has been with us since December 2018. She is originally from Japan and moved to California in 2023. She is super cuddly and loves attention. Never has accidents, never scratches people or walls. ( She does scratch some fabric material ) She loves sleeping on people’s lap. My life got super busy and chaotic and unfortunately I don’t have time to pay enough attention or to cuddle with them anymore. Please contact if you are willing to love them and cuddle with them. They are both super sweet.
