Online Adoption Application › Loving and adorable, but very special needsBriar is outgoing, loving, playful and loves life. He purrs close to non-stop and head butts you for loving. But he had a perianal hernia and GI tract complications since he was rescued as a bottle baby. We are still looking for the ideal home for Briar. He loves all animals (2- and 4-legged) and will become a very adored family member. But because of his issues he does need a special diet and a home that is easily suited to cleaning (non-carpeted or specialized room for him) as he can't always get to the litter tray to poop. If you are looking for the best of the special needs cats, for sure it’s him and he is worth the effort. Note the posting updates are in chronological order to see more on him.   Original Posting as baby: Multiple attempts to help him with vets locally would work for a while, but finally we had to take him to UC Davis for another surgery. This created quite a large vet bill for the group, requires special food, and significant care. Any donation will help significantly, towards his bill, and his on-going expenses. Please help us fund this little guy - - never seen such a trooper in a little kitten, he won’t give up; help us make sure we don’t have to! THANKS for helping!   UPDATE Nov 5 2015: Working with the vets, we have come up with a mix of canned and kibble foods to help Briar's poop firm up some so he makes the litter tray more and has gained some weight in the last months. He had stalled at about 5 lbs, but with the mix of canned and kibble we've got him up to 6 lbs. Also we had a scare when he plugged up with a hairball in rectum - with work we got it out. But now he gets hairball treatment gel with every meal till shedding season is over, and we have trimmed his beautiful tail (sadly) so he will not ingest the long 4' tail hairs. Still he's a wonderful, happy, beautiful cat!   UPDATE Dec 14, 2015: He is gaining weight and is now up to 4 lbs at 6 months of age, yeah!   Update Jan 15, 2016: At Vet check he was 4.8 lbs (yeah!) and is now eating Royal Canin Mom and Babycat kibble, as well as canned IAMS intestinal plus food, both easy to digest, so his poop is a bit more consistent in timing and firmness.   Update March 6, 2016: After trying baby kibble with Briar and finding it was a very fine balance to keep him from getting too firm of poop, we have started him on Metamucil in his canned food at the recommendation of UC Davis. So far we find that is nicely helping to manage the really loose stool.   Update Sept 20, 2016: Briar is much better on Metamucil and gained some weight as he's able to not have the food just run through him! Though he still doesn't always make it to the litter tray it’s much firmer poop and easy to clean up. He's just a total love bug and he's worth the work!   Update August 2017: We have him on a diet of canned food mixed with Metamucil and it does a relatively good job of firming up his stool but sometimes he still can't make the litter box, so he does have his own linoleum-floored room. And he does get out to hang out in the house when we can watch him to clean up after him if needed. We did have a scare earlier this month when he had a bout of colitis but the Vet said that can hit any cat and figured it was an isolated instance and so far she is right!   Update January 2019: It’s a new year and Briar is already 4.5 yrs old, wow time flies! We have worked out a specific food for him mixed with Metamucil and he is doing much better about getting to the litter box now. Still sometimes he has accidents but we are pleased that it is somewhat better and if you are looking to help support him the food is Fancy feast (Gravy Lovers chicken feast in grilled chicken flavor gravy).   Update January 2020: Briar continues to do well and he is just such a great cat and, besides cleaning up if he has an accident, his food mixture is very easy to do. And we also give him a Vitamin B12 shot weekly to help with absorption of nutrients; he’s very good about it. And like any long-hair cat, he gets Petromalt during shedding seasons - which he loves.Update November 2020: Covid hasn't affected this sweetie!!!!! Briar is doing really well.  We have his diarrhea even more firmed up, fine tuning the mixture of canned with metamucil, but still he can't control always making it to the litter tray, so he does have a room all his own, and we take that little extra effort to prep his meals. He also gets Vitamin B injections to insure proper levels of Vitamin B, since with diarrhea that is always a concern of lack of that nutrient.  You can tell he is doing well though, such a handsome boy and very shiny, thick, healthy coat and right body index.  Briar's just such a loving cat it's quite amazing the great guy he is, so rewarding to care for him, he flips on his side and back when he sees you like heh aren't I handsome!  He'd be perfect in a non-carpeted home with easy to clean floors.February 2024 -Wow Brair is still with us and going strong.  Sadly no other forever home has come along, though we and he are all hoping it will!He is doing very well and last year we tested his Vit. B levels and found we could stop those weekly shots, so he is even more happy, as being poked weekly wasn't his favorite thing!  He is a very happy kitty in general, and being Maine Coon X - a total pleasure, as he so loves people and is a very uncomplaining cat.  He will be celebrating his 10th birthday this year in May - and we will be sure to give him his favorite temptation hairball treats in his treat ball, with a few extra so he can really enjoy the hunt!April 2025 - Briar is headed towards his 11th Birthday!!!!!  He is still doing great and loving life in his private well covered room.  He still has some issues making it to the litter tray but we've found that now using Fancy Feast Pates and the Metamucil gives him the best chance to have firm poop and get to litter tray in time!  He's so sweet and loving and worth the extra time it takes to keep his room clean!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Samwise is a orange-ish blond maine coon mix. He is a extremely skittish cat, he hides from everything. He is very loveable once he gets comfortable with you, he loves pets but is uncomfortable with cuddles. I adopted Sam in 2019 as a kitten, he was born June 2019. Since then my husband and I have had a kid and we hoped Sam would get use to him eventually but instead he has decided to live in our walk-in closet. I do manage to get him to go outside at night(when theres no people) and give him lots of love when he comes out. I tried to get him out during the day but he will just run back inside. Sam needs a patient person with a quiet home and private outdoor area. I put Sam's adoption fee at 5$ because I didn't really know what to put. To me, Sam is Priceless and I don't want to deprive him of a good home.

Goosie (affectionately known as The Muppet) is a one-of-a-kind kitten bursting with personality! This rambunctious little guy has energy for days — he loves to play, zoom around the house, and especially go after the wand toy. Once he’s all tuckered out, he transforms into a floppy, purry cuddle bug who just wants to melt into your lap. Goosie is also a very talkative and expressive kitten. He’ll happily tell you all about his day, whether it was chasing toys, exploring new corners, or splashing around in his water dish (or even the shower!). Yes, you read that right — Goosie loves water and isn’t afraid to get his paws wet. He currently lives with a cat and a rabbit, and he does great with both. He accepts their corrections but secretly wishes they’d join him in his endless games. While he can be a bit shy when meeting new humans, he warms up quickly and is soon bouncing around like the happy, goofy Muppet he is. Goosie was rescued from a storm drain just a few weeks ago at only 1.4 pounds and has blossomed into a healthy, strong boy. He’s working hard on learning that hands are for petting (not for chomping!), and he’s making great progress. If you’re looking for a kitten who’s equal parts playful, loving, and downright hilarious, Goosie is your guy. Get ready for non-stop entertainment and endless snuggles — Goosie can’t wait to meet you! Prior to adoption, all kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. Kittens under 5 months old must be adopted with a buddy or into a house where there's a kitten-friendly pet. This kitten is currently in a foster home. To meet this kitten, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adoptJuly 15, 2025, 1:14 am

Fluffnut is the curious adventurer of the duo — always cautiously surveying his surroundings before deciding it’s safe enough to explore. Once he feels comfortable, though, he’s off to investigate every nook and cranny and stir up a little fun! He’s often the mastermind behind playtime mischief, usually the first to pounce on his brother Tuffnut and start the wrestling match. But by the end, you’ll often find him cozily nestled under or beside his bigger brother, happy and content. When he finally tires out, Fluffnut turns into a sweet snuggle bug with a big, loud purr that rumbles the moment you start petting him. And just wait until you hear his adorable raspy little meow — it’s impossible to resist! If you’re looking for a kitten with a perfect mix of playfulness and cuddle potential (and the cutest meow around), Fluffnut might just be the one to steal your heart. He would love to be adopted with his best buddy Tuffnut so the fun (and snuggles) never stop! Prior to adoption, all kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped.

Meet this sweet 8-year-old kitty who’s full of charm and personality. She speaks with her eyes and even chirps to get your attention. She’s smart, friendly, and loves spending time both indoors and outdoors, whether you’re gardening, working in the garage, drawing, or just relaxing. She’s well-behaved, litter-trained, and trustworthy inside the house. Most days, she prefers using the outdoors instead of her litter box, which helps keep cleanup to a minimum. She likes being the only cat but doesn’t mind sharing her home with a friendly neutered male around her age. For the right person, we’ll happily waive the adoption fee. We’re looking for someone with a safe outdoor space, ideally a homeowner who understands cats and shares a special bond with them. Non-smoking, tidy homes without strong fragrances are preferred. If you’re interested, please send us a little bit about yourself so we can find the perfect match. (She has multiple listings to help find her the best forever home.)

We adopted Kramer from the Humane Society in December. We have an older cat who is 14 and he's too energetic for her so she is very afraid of him. We are keeping them separate and it's not fair to either of them. Kramer is a really good boy. He's very loving and loves belly rubs. He likes to sleep with you, and he wants to be wherever you are. He loves to sit in the window and watch the birds, And he loves to sit on your lap. He loves to play, especially with a feather wand. He also has a toy where you swap the balls around and he loves that too! He's friendly with people and makes friends quickly. He likes when you brush him, but he really loves dinner time and he loves Churu😊Kramer deserves a home where he can be free to roam wherever he wants. He is FIV positive so he needs to be an indoor only cat, but he is happy to be inside anyway. He's a little afraid of loud noises and hides when the street sweeper comes by. He would love to meet you!
