Check out Bongo's latest publicity photos above! Miss Bongo is about 10 months old and is affectionate and spunky. We have been caring for her for about 5 months since she and her litter were abandoned by neighbors. We already have 2 cats and need to find a home for Bongo. She gets along well with other cats. She loves playing with her felt mice and soccer with a whiffle golfball. She gets the zoomies, very entertaining! I know she would be a great addition to your family!

We have been caring for White Paws for about 3 months since she and her litter were abandoned by neighbors. She is very affectionate and friendly. She has a mellow personality, yet is very playful (loves her toy mouse!) and gets along well with everyone. She is about 8 months old. We already have two cats and cannot keep her, she would make a wonderful addition to your family!

Story
Penelope is 7 years old, we found her and her brother as kittens abandoned by their mom. We handraised them both and love them dearly. She is a very loving cat that loves to cuddle and has never scratched or bitten us. Although we hate to part with her, we recently moved to an area with feral cats and had a baby, which has been too much for Penelope. She is stressed out and acting out by going outside of her litterbox. We have tried to the best of our abilities to help her including going to the vet but it has been a year and we have reached our limits. As much as it breaks our hearts to have to give her up we have to put our child's health first. We are hoping to find another loving family who can provide a stable and calm environment for her to thrive.

Story
Harley is an extremely loving, loyal cat who loves attention and belly-rubs. I have moved to a place where I can no longer have a pet and sadly need to re-home her. I love her to bits and she is worthy of a great home. Harley does have HIV (as I was told by the person I adopted her from years ago), so she cannot be with other cats. She does not require additional medical attention and she is an indoor cat. She is fine with other animals and multiple people. She is a wonderful companion, and I have multiple scratching posts, litter, and toys I can provide.

Story
Minnie and her brother Sonny are a sweet, friendly, gentle pair of kitties! They are very easy going and affectionate, especially Sonny. They are OK with other friendly cats, but would be just as happy as the only felines in the house. They haven't been around kids but would probably be OK with gentle, well mannered children. They are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. Minnie and Sonny will be available for adoption this Saturday (12/16) at Kahoots in Temecula from 10am to 2pm.
