Story
I recently rescued a kitten, but can’t keep him at home as my older year old dog is getting very stressed and has stopped eating and drinking water and is becoming depressed. If anyone is able to provide him a loving home please reach out to me. He is 4 months old, and has a slight deformity in his bone structure in his back legs, causing him to hop instead of walk when getting around. He is in no pain and gets around as easily as other cats and requires no extra care. He has all his shots and is neutered. He is also playful and extremely loving.

Story
Toro of a very sweet and vocal cat. He's skeptical of new people, but once he accepts you he is good. He can't walk, he just stumbles around, and he's not good with finding the litter box. Needs an experienced caretaker. I don't want to give him to a shelter because they will likely kill him. He's still eating well, and I know he wants to live.

Story
Bean is an energetic and playful 3-year-old neutered male tabby cat looking for a home. Bean would do best in a home without young children, as an only cat (preferred) or with other young cats. He is currently taking daily fluoxetine for anxiety, but may not need it in a low-stress home. Bean came to me after developing anxiety due to a toddler in his previous home. Unfortunately, the anxiety persisted in my home, due to conflict with my less playful senior cat. Therefore, I am seeking a better home for Bean, to improve his quality of life. It is very possible that, after some time in a lower-anxiety setting (and with vet approval), he will no longer need daily medication. Bean does not like to be picked up or hugged, but he is affectionate, seeking pets and human interaction. He is chatty, curious, and intelligent. He has an excellent appetite, and enjoys playing with people and other energetic cats. He would be a great fit for someone looking for an interactive, playful cat.

Story
We have had Whisper for 4 years now. Abandoned by her mother as a kitten, my brother found her and asked if I was interested in taking her. Especially since he took two of the other strays. Whisper has grown into a mature cat with specific quirks (well this being my first cat I don't know if this is a quirk or not). Each morning Whisper meets me at my bedroom door. Waiting for me to open the door so she can go into the shower area and lick up the water. She then proceeds to lay on my bed where she stays most of the day. When I get home, promptly at 7 pm she will move me to her food, giving me the hint to feed her. She is very affectionate but quick to know when we (my sons (ages 17 and 19)) have had enough. Because of our busy schedules and the fact that she does need more attention we are seeking to rehome her. She is an awesome cat. She likes smelling things and is afraid of the vacuum. I have to admit she will make someone a good pet.

Story
Bill, originally named Eros was located in a box with two of his siblings (Ares and Nyx) as 1 week old kittens in front of a shelter. He was taken in by our family. His name originated from being the most loving and sweetest of the three. He later moved with me after branching away from family. He kept me company until I met my husband who decided “Bill” was more fitting for him because he looked and acted like a middle aged man working at an office (running joke). He stayed with us until we had our first son. It took a while for him to adjust, he had some behavioral issues (peeing on the carpet). We needed to move to a place that didn’t allow pets so my sister took him in until she had her own son. Bill is back to having behavioral issues. All Bill wants is attention and love but currently our family is unable to provide him that. He’s content being indoors, litter trained, gets along with other cats, LOVES to cuddle, and occasionally a backyard to run around in.

These cats are in San Jose, California too!

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT TCRESCUE.COM/ADOPT Mamba is a sleek, 6-month-old spayed female with striking black-and-white markings, currently being fostered in Belmont, CA. Rescued from the same community cat colony as her brothers, Ash and Coal, she’s overcome a tough start and has blossomed into a playful and curious kitten. Mamba thrives in the company of other cats and loves feather wand toys, laser pointers, and running on the jumbo cat exercise wheel. While she’s still learning to fully trust humans, she’s made great progress and will sit nearby, offering sweet slow blinks as she builds trust. Mamba would do best in a home with other cats, either solo or adopted with one of her brothers. This resilient girl is looking for a loving home where she can continue to grow in confidence.

Story
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT TCRESCUE.COM/ADOPT Tony is one of 20+ cats found abandoned at a home. He is calm and sweet and gentle. He is fine being held, but it is also new to him. The vet has estimated him to be a year old. Tony would love to find his furever family after his rough first year of life. He's been around other cats, as well as children, as has been fine. He's up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered. He is currently located in French Camp, California, and we can arrange transportation if that's an issue, but we would prefer if you met him in person. Is Tony the one for you? His eyes say yes! If you're interested in giving Tony a furever home, please fill out an application below. His adoption fee is $75.

Story
Looking for a cat who will melt right into your arms? Katniss Everbean is a certified cuddle champion who lives for being picked up and held like a baby. This affectionate sweetheart will happily snuggle into your chest, purring contentedly as you carry her around like your feline shadow. When she's not soaking up all the snuggles, she transforms into a playful little sprite, especially when wand toys come out! With lightning-fast reflexes and boundless energy, she’ll chase and pounce like a pro – then go right back to curling up in your lap for another round of cuddles. She is a very confident and social cat, and is always a good host whenever visitors arrive. She loves to greet guests with a friendly mew! She loves chin scratches and being picked up. If you want a shoulder cat, Katniss is the one for you. Katniss would thrive in an active home with other pets, children, and active adults - where she can get the attention she deserves.    If you want a best friend who’s equal parts lovebug and playmate, Katniss Everbean is your perfect match! Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. This cat is in a foster home.  Please fill out our online adoption application and we'll set you up to meet him as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adoptMarch 8, 2026, 1:51 am
