Story
Meet Mittens: The Distinguished Gentleman!Mittens is a dapper, 7+ year-old gentleman who was born for a life of indoor luxury. With a stylishly clipped ear from his early rescue days, he has officially retired from outdoor life and is ready to trade it all for a cozy lap.Why You’ll Fall in Love:Extra Beans: He’s a rare polydactyl treasure with adorable extra toes!Head-Bump King: Mittens lives for affection. He loves laps, head bumps, climbing all over you, and being held.Easygoing: Calm, low-maintenance, and perfectly litter-trained.Health & Home Needs:Health: Neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV negative, with perfect bloodwork.The "One & Only" Rule: Mittens is a superstar who refuses to share the spotlight. He needs to be the only cat in the home (and likely the only dog, too). He has so much love to give that you won't need another pet!Safety: Strictly indoors-only (a secure catio is highly recommended).Could your lap be his forever castle?

She has a soft purr and makes cute trills when excited. She’ll flourish with a patient adopter who can help her continue to come out of her shell.💰 Rehoming fee: $150.

Jade is an adult orange Tabby who was found abandoned as a kitten with her sisters in July 2025. We took them in to keep them safe from local coyotes and stray cats, and she has since grown into a sweet girl who loves receiving attention from people.Jade is:• Spayed, dewormed, and current on vaccinations• Friendly and loves attention from people• Good with dogs (she made friends with our Maltipoo!)• Accustomed to being both an indoor and outdoor cat• Best suited for a home without childrenJade has lived happily with our family dog and spends her time as both an indoor and outdoor cat. While she tolerates our rambunctious 5-year-old daughter, she would likely be most comfortable in a home without young children where she can get plenty of love and attention.💰 Rehoming fee: $100Includes: Medical records and up-to-date vaccinations

Story
i adopted chickpea in san jose over a year ago as a rescue she got along well enough with my cat onion but we’re not very close. she has been spayed and had her shots taken care of at that point. she is a loving cat and will cuddle with her chosen people. she’s a little playful but decides when and how she wants to play. doesn’t enjoy being carried but is a big lap sitter. unfortunately since moving in with my partner she has become the center of attention with a lot of aggression from the other cats and gets bullied a lot. ideal home for chickpea would be a place a quiet home with fewer pets as she has now become skittish around other animals. as long as she has someone she can cuddle with she’ll be happy.

Story
We adopted Garfield in 2020 when he was six weeks old. He's been a loving member of our household. With two small children and a small living space, we are now unable to provide him with the attention and play he deserves. He can be very cuddly. Because we cannot play with him as much as he would like, he can bite an scratch sometimes. Our hope is that he finds the perfect fit with someone who can love him as we have.

Story
Bindi is a sweet girl with a beautiful gray marble tabby and white coat. She was rescued with her sisters from under a freeway overpass. Bindi is shy around new people at first, so she would do best with someone who is experienced with cat body language and behavior. Once she's comfortable and settled in she's a real love bug. She likes to play with toys and be pet, but prefers not to be picked up. She is laid back and would do well in a quiet home with no children, and someone who will give her a lot of love. She would also do best as an only cat. Bindi loves the catio her foster mom built! This allows her to enjoy the outdoors safely, while inside a large, enclosed area. s to be pet and play with toys. She's not outgoing with strangers. Once she's comfortable, she's mellow and likes to lay around a lot. She is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, defleaed, and microchipped. This cat is being cared for by a member of the community.  To arrange to meet this cat or find out more, email us at courtesy@thedancingcat.org.  March 8, 2026, 1:51 am

Story
Meet Binx & Nina A Perfectly Paired Brother–Sister Duo Binx and Nina are a bonded sibling pair with twice the love to give and hearts that are happiest together. Binx, the handsome all-black older brother, is sleek, soulful, and quietly devoted. Though he’s the big brother, he and Nina are almost the same size — making them an adorable matching set. Binx has a calm, steady presence and enjoys lounging nearby, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings (and his sister). His eye can occasionally become irritated, but it’s easily managed with simple treatment, and he handles it like the champ he is. Nina, the younger white-and-grey tabi sister, is the playful spark of the pair. She has a puppy-like personality — she loves to play, follow her people around, and happily be scooped up and held. Affectionate and full of charm, Nina brings joyful energy wherever she goes and isn’t shy about asking for attention. Together, they balance each other beautifully. Binx’s gentle steadiness complements Nina’s playful enthusiasm, and their bond is both sweet and strong. You’ll often find them curled up together after a play session, perfectly content in each other’s company. This special duo is looking for a loving forever home that will cherish them both. In return, Binx and Nina promise endless companionship, playful moments, and double the purrs every single day. Both cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Requesting a donation fee of $150 to help cover the costs of medical and foster supplies. Foster to adopt is also an option. If interested in providing a loving home for any of these wonderful cats, please contact Chelsea at crlenz@gmail.com or (650) 465-4513. Thank you! Binx and Nina are being cared for by a member of the community.  To arrange to meet these cats or find out more, please fill out our application here: https://www.thedancingcat.org/adopt-courtesy For more information regarding our Courtesy Posts, see www.thedancingcat.org/courtesy-postsMarch 11, 2026, 6:44 pm

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.
