Story
Gizmo is a 9 month old cat with a lot of energy. He can be very sweet and loves being pet. He loves playing with any type of string and other toys but does need a lot of attention. We received him from a family member who could not have him but he has been a handful for our other cat and child.

Story
We got SweetPea from the Oceanside Humane Society 3 years ago when he was a kitten. He has lived with my mom all that time and they just love each other. Mom has moved into memory care and is no longer able to care for him and he will not be happy in my home with a herding dog. SweetPea is a little tentative around new people but is such a lover once he gets used to you.

If YOU LOVE GINGER cats... THIS is YOUR BOY! WHAT is the IDEAL home for Cinnamon Toast Crunch? A quiet home, where folks are home at least half of the day. A home he can share with his BFF tortie "Marsha-Marsha-Marsha'! A home where he can follow you around, love on you, keep you company while you work!

Story
My cat was adopted from the Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary on November 16, 2024 with his brother. He was born June 10, 2024 and is neutered. He is a friendly cat who likes to sit on my lap. He and his brother get along very well. He does not get along as well with dogs but is doing better because we have several dogs. He is a sweet kitty with everyone.

Story
How this pet arrived:Pookie was brought in by her previous owner on June 3, 2026.Why this pet is the one for you:Pookie is a sensitive and independent cat who is looking for a calm, patient home where she can settle in at her own pace. She has a history of fearful behavior in loud or busy environments, and while she has been nervous during her time in our care, she has remained tolerant of handling and has been slowly warming up to staff. Pookie will do best in a quiet household with children ages 8 and older and minimal changes to her routine. We recommend an extended confinement period when she first goes home, allowing her to adjust in a smaller, secure space while her adopters spend time sitting with her, playing, and offering high-value treats such as Churu to help build trust and confidence. Pookie has also shown an interest in being outdoors; however, if her future family plans to allow her outdoor access, it is essential that she remain indoors for a minimum of 4-6 weeks after adoption so she has adequate time to bond with her new home and family. Pookie is required to go home in a hard-sided plastic carrier. With patience, consistency, and a peaceful environment, Pookie has the potential to continue blossoming into a wonderful companion.Shy/Fearful Cat: Pookie requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.

How this pet arrived:Gemini was brought in by a community member on June 12, 2026.Why this pet is the one for you:Say hello to Gemini! This sensitive and observant girl is looking for a patient home where she can settle in at her own pace. Because Gemini values her personal space, any children in the home should be at least 6 years old. She may initially feel fearful while acclimating to new surroundings or being handled for transport, so providing a quiet, predictable environment will help her build confidence. It is important to watch for signs of overstimulation or discomfort, such as dilated pupils, skin rippling, a twitching tail, or sudden rapid movements. To keep her feeling safe, keep petting sessions brief and gentle, allowing for frequent pauses so she can choose to continue. To prevent her from becoming overwhelmed, please keep playtime and social petting as separate activities. With a consistent routine and respect for her boundaries, Gemini will truly shine. Please remember to bring a secure cat carrier for a safe ride to her new home.Shy/Fearful Cat:Gemini requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.Overstimulated Cat:Gemini requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.
