Story
These boys are foster-fails -- Chunk the big boy & Smudge the whiter of the two. We took them at about 4 weeks old and hand fed them. They are now 4 yrs old, very friendly with everyone that comes into the house, curious to what they're doing and hoping the person will provide a nice soft lap. They love and play with our dogs all the time, pestering till the dogs finally say enough. They are very comfortable being handled and let us clip their nails without much issue -- though they grump about it. The issue is that we have a set of older female cats (14 yrs) and they torment the older cats. We've tried pheromones throughout the house and collars for the boys, as well as baby gates to separate them. Nothing is working and the stress on the older cats is very apparent. If you're looking for some very chill, friendly big cats (close to 20 lbs -- hence the name Chunk, haha), that would love to provide companionship to a dog and sit on your lap, these are your boys!

Niner is a lovely brown tabby. She likes her people and especially loves cat companions. She enjoys playing, lounging with you on the couch and hunting and killing any bug she finds. And she’s dog friendly! Found in a car engine (Engine No. Nine), she’s a bit shy of boxes and riding in the car, which is why we’ve been unsuccessful getting her to adoption events. Who can blame her?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~• Adoption Event ScheduleMonday Pop-Ups on OccasionWednesdays 4 pm - 7 pmFridays 4 pm - 6 pmSaturdays 10 am - 5 pmSundays 11 am - 5 pm • PetSmart San Juan Capistrano33963 Doheny Park Rd.San Juan Capistrano, CA 92624 • Application to adopt:arkofsanjuan.org

Story
Looking for a good home for Cheeto. He is 4 and is a great cat and don’t want to give him up - but I am trying to find a great home for him since my partner is allergic to cats. I am asking friends and family as well, but I wanted to give this site a try. He is litter box trained - no issues there - lots of energy and loves attention. And he is an indoor only cat! I have a lot more pics if you’re interested and can provide a safe forever home for him!!Thanks!

Meet Waldo and Magoo. They are precious cats, very outgoing and friendly. They run around and play, enjoy the laser pointer and all their toys. They also love to sit in the window and watch everything. Very social with humans. When the foster cleans their litterbox then they usually jump up and ride around on her back. Waldo talks like a Siamese kitty would. Not constantly but when he does it is so cute. Magoo is the one with the cute, crossed eyes. Other than the eyes the brothers are almost identical. If you would like to meet these bonded brothers then please go to our website and complete our online application. Personality traits Affectionate, Curious, Friendly, Playful, Loyal, Loves, Funny

Story
SID, came to us in the winter of 2024..He had been a tough street cat, but has made great progress since he has been here. He has become more trusting of and friendly with humans; actually quite friendly. He is NOT good with male cats, but okay with quiet female cats. He is okay with quiet, calmer, less boisterous dogs. Sid has been neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. SID loves to go outside on a limited basis and this can be discussed. Please contact us at healinghopecs@att.net for more information or to set up a time to speak by phone. SID is part of our "foster to adopt" program. . . . where a cat can be fostered for 3 to 4 weeks, before a formal adoption decision would be made..
