Story
Greyson is a playful, fun loving cat. She grew up with other cats and enjoys playing. She would be good alone or adopted with her brother Crow. She lost her owner who sadly passed away and is trying to adjust to changes. She is a little shy at first but needs a bit to warm up. This sweet kitty needs a loving forever home and someone who is willing to play fetch with her beloved springy. She also enjoys any good toy. Please give this fun loving gal a chance to love again.

Story
Igor needs a new home. I’m going through a divorce and my ex wife can’t take the cat and I’m holding onto him for now. I’m allergic to cats, and don’t have the capacity for cats (they’re farm animals to me, not a cat guy). He’s a healthy three year old male cat. No health issues, very chill, and likes cuddling and loves to be where the people are. He’s never had “accident” in the years we’ve owned him, fully housebroken. Very food motivated. He does have some good hunting instincts I’ve noticed, could be a good mouser (he’s caught two), but he’s only been indoors. I think he could adapt to be indoor/outdoor.

Story
Yuki showed up at my workplace and was weak and lethargic and skinny. I took him in while i tried to find his owners with no luck. He is microchipped but was not registered. The vet guesstimated that he is either just under a year old or about a year old. He’s very playful, confident and brave. He greets any guests at the front door and doesn’t mind being held for short periods. I can even walk him outside in my arms and he lets me without trying to dart off. He gets into the cat carrier with ease and a treat but does need sedation prior to vet visits. He doesn’t like being poked and prodded. He’s smart and will sit on command and follows me around like a puppy eager to play and be close. He acts like a guard cat. He’s NOT fond of big dogs and small dogs are a maybe if they are more calm. So a home without dogs would be ideal. Also a home with another young and energetic, playful cat/kitty is best. He will not pair well with an elderly cat.

Story
I volunteer my services with OAS and Island Cat Rescue in Alameda to trap feral cats that live in the area of my business near the Oakland Airport Business Park. Buffy is one of 4 cats that were TNR'ed in August of this year. After recovery all but Buffy left my place of business where they spent the required night to recover from surgery. Buffy however did not want to leave my office and it was immediately obvious that she is not feral, but a very tame, friendly, fun and affectionate cat. I have allowed her to stay at my office in hopes of finding her a home rather than leaving her outdoors. Buffy is by my estimation less than a year old. Light on her feet, loves to climb the shelves in my warehouse space and be adventurous. I would be very inclined to want to keep her but I have enough cats at my home and do not think the female cat at my home would be happy to have another. Also, she cannot live at my office long term. I am traveling internationally Sept 26-Oct 14.

Story
I found Kiara at the back of my gym after she’d been abandoned by her previous owner because they moved away. I took her to animal care services & they told me she’s around 5 years old (even though she’s tiny at 6lbs) and spayed, then they gave her vaccines & rabies shot as well. I took her on a whim because I wanted to save her but I’ve come to terms with the fact that I don’t have the resources to care for her in the way that she needs. She is VERY sweet and affectionate, super cuddly and warm, but unfortunately she doesn’t get along with my resident cat at all. I work a lot so I’m unable to spend time with her the way she needs, and I hope someone out there can. She was neglected by her previous owners in really bad shape and practically left to die, so I want nothing more than for her to be happy & healthy in a new home that can take care of her the way she deserves. Thanks for your time.

Story
Jack is the coolest cat we've ever known. He's outgoing and loves everyone, demanding to be cuddled at every opportunity. We took Jack on when our mother had to go into nursing care, but our roommates have a senior dog with cat issues and we have to find a new home for Jack. It breaks our hearts, and we are desperate to avoid surrendering him to a shelter. Jack isn't one to hide under the bed when company comes over. He will demand scratches and hugs from anyone he meets. Aside from being almost dog-like in his affection, Jack is playful, quiet and very tidy. Never makes a mess of his litter box. He has lived with other cats and small dogs without issue, though we don't know how he would be with large dogs. He is an indoor cat, but loves going for walks on leash to explore the neighbourhood. He is microchipped, neutered and current on all vaccines. No serious known health issues, though he does have a tendency to sinus infections, that occasionally require antibiotics.
