Story
He’s a very shy boy, but once he warms up to you he’s such a sweetheart. He loves scratches and pets on the head, shoulders, and bottom. He needs someone who has the time and patience for him to get comfortable and feel safe. And preferably a household with no other animals. He gets scared and reactive at times.

Story
Bella is a very loving and playful 13 year old cat. She enjoys to lay in your lap and loves her toys. 12 years ago she showed up at my mom and partners door. She was very frail and skinny. They took her in and nursed her back to health and she was with them after that. 2 years ago my mothers partner passed away and my mom has been caring for her. Prior to her needing to move Bella would like to occasionally go outside . For the last 2 years she had lived in an apartment and been inside. My mom is needing to move again and unable to bring Bella. Bella loves to be nurtured and has been very lonely. We are wanting to find a home where she can get the love and attention that she deserves. She is in very good health. We have never had any health problems with her. She did need to have her front teeth but that does t stop her from eating dry kibble. She has not had enough time to be around other cats indoors so not sure how she would be but Insssume she would be fine after time

Story
Meet Jingle! Jingle was a tiny bottle-fed kitten, so from the very start he was wrapped in warmth and love. He's been living with his foster family in a cozy home, always ready to snuggle up to them. When he's not cuddling up with his hoomans, he is a little adventurer chasing toy mice, exploring and making friends with his foster mom's resident cats and dogs. As much as Jingle loves to play, he is also waiting for his perfect human to take him home - someone who will share all the cuddles and all the adventures forever. Jingle will do best in a home with another kitty companion/playmate.

These cats are in Oceanside, California too!

Story
How this pet arrived: Pedi Paws and Jack were brought in by their previous owner on November 23, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Jack and Pedi Paws (#177433), two best friends looking for a loving new home together! Pedi Paws isn't actually running a high-end feline nail salon - but with those dainty toes and careful steps, she does walk like she's on a tiny runway. Jack, meanwhile, isn't climbing beanstalks - his preferred adventure is claiming the warmest sunspot in the room. Both cats are sensitive to change, so they'll need a calm, consistent home where they can settle in at their own pace. Once they're comfortable, they're all about soft pets and lounging in their favorite spot as they casually begin taking over your home in the most endearing way. They've done well with a small, cat-savvy dog and do best with older respectful kids who understand that great cats sometimes need a moment before the curtain rises on their personalities. Pedi Paws will supervise household happenings with refined paw-fessionalism, while Jack contributes with his signature "cool guy" vibe. Together, they bring double the whiskers, double the character and double the fun. These two do have dental disease and have at least one tooth (per cat) that will need to be extracted - we would love to go over options with you, if you want to bring them home! When it's time to bring them home, please remember to pack two secure carriers - they're best friends, but they still prefer their own seats for the ride. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home!Shy/Fearful Cat: Pedi Paws and Jack require a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. Primary Color: Red Tabby Secondary Color: White Weight: 15.0625 Age: 10yrs 11mths 1wks

Story
How this pet arrived: Jellybean was brought in by a community member on January 5, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Jellybean is a cat with a PhD in Napping and a master's degree in Blanket Burrowing. Her hobbies include perfecting the art of hide-and-seek (spoiler: she always wins), curling up in her beloved hidey tent, and judging the world from a safe, elevated perch. She's looking for a quiet, peaceful kingdom where she can rule with a soft paw - no rambunctious dogs or tiny humans, please! Jellybean will need time, patience and an extended period of royal acclimation (translation: a comfy confinement space, plenty of snacks and the occasional whispered compliment). Win her heart with tasty treats, fun toys and a gentle approach, and you'll be rewarded with a steadfast and loyal companion. Jellybean does enjoy petting - especially chin rubs - from her favorite people and she will reward you with purrs and maybe a little drool! She isn't very demanding and loves her alone time for extended naps. If you're ready to offer Jellybean the cozy paradise she deserves, fill out the interest form above! At SDHS:Jellybean has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home! Shy/Fearful Cat: Jellybean requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about her. Primary Color: Black Weight: 12.56 Age: 14yrs 11mths 1wks

Story
How this pet arrived: Chili was brought in by her previous owner on January 31, 2026.Why this pet is the one for you:Looking for a little extra "kick" in your life? Meet Chili! True to her name, this spicy girl is full of personality and looking for a home that appreciates a feline with some serious zest. Chili is undeniably social and loves to be in the same room as her humans, but she prefers a "look but don't touch" policy. Think of her as your charismatic, independent roommate who wants to hang out on the couch with you - just as long as you keep your hands to yourself! She's the perfect match for a cat-savvy owner who speaks "fluent feline" and can spot the subtle signs of when she's had enough excitement. To keep life sweet and avoid the heat, Chili needs a home where interactions are kept short, respectful, and fun. That means no using hands or feet as toys - she's strictly a "feather wand and hands-off toys" kind of girl! Because she values her personal space, she's looking for an adult-only home or one with older kids (10+) who understand that even a spicy kitty needs a break sometimes. When it's time to head to her new forever home, Chili insists on traveling in style and security - a large, hard-sided plastic carrier is a must for her royal transport. If you're ready for a companion who is equal parts independent and entertaining, Chili is ready to spice up your world!p>Overstimulated Cat: Chili requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about her.
