Story
Galactus is about 1.5 months old. He was born from my Calico cat, but unsure of the father. He is a very sweet and gentle kitten. He loves running around, playing with his sibling kittens and is friendly towards small dogs too. I really need someone to find him a new home! As much as I love him I cannot take care of him anymore. I will be moving out of state soon.

Story
Jinx is a clown, he is very adventurous and curious. He is a little under a year old. He was born in a barn and since he is white he would not have lasted very long so I brought him home. I am rehoming him because things have changed in my life and I am just not home enough to really spend any time with him. He is very affectionate so not being there is starting to show. He is a strictly indoor cat, he has not been outside since he was born so he would not know how to be safe, he is litter box trained.

Story
Dusty is a super sweet senior girl who loves affection and scritches. She is also fairly mellow and prefers to hang out on her cat tree and watch the world go by (especially while soaking in the sun at the window). She is not super playful, and loud noises or fast movements tend to cause her to hide. She would prefer a quiet home, perhaps with another mellow kitty. She requires a prescription diet for urinary health (currently on Hills C/D Multicare Stress dry food and various urinary care wet foods) to prevent her from getting inflammation of the bladder which can cause further urinary issues. She does well on the special diet and has been cleared by a vet for adoption. Her breed and color best fits an American Shorthair Smoke (her fur is black with gray and white undertones), but we don't really know for sure. Cats adopted through FUR will be vaccinated, spayed or neutered, tested for Felv/FIV and they are microchipped prior to adoption. Typical Adult cat adoption donations are $125, cash or cards accepted, sorry no checks. Southern California residents only, we do not adopt to residents not within driving distance of our adoption centers. Please visit our website, www.felineundergroundrescue.com to submit an application.

Story
Back in 2017 there was a cat who gave birth to 3 kittens in the parking lot at my old office, I took them and the Mom in and gave them a place to be safe. I re homed the Mom cat and one of the other kittens but kept the 2 male cats, unfortunately I am moving to a place where I can't bring them with me so I would love to find them a new home versus a shelter. They are available together or apart. Buddy is very quiet and keeps to himself and is about 5 years old. He's a 100% indoor cat. He's not super active (he's a middle-aged cat) and prefers to find a quiet spot to hang out but he's very adorable and if you're looking for a companion, he'd be a good one.

We had originally only known of SYLVESTOR and his sister MATTIE (the older siblings). Needless to say, we came to the rescue with five cats. PADME AMIDALA is now ready for his FUREVER HOME.
