Story
3 year old lover boy. He is a cuddly lap cat. He likes to play (strings toys are his favorite) and look out the window at birds. He has been an exclusively indoor cat. He is a really sweet and fun cat that will always be by your side once he warms up to you. He always uses the litter box and has never had an accident. I am rehoming because of my baby. He has been well loved and I’m looking to find him a new home where he will be loved just as much. I will give you a supply of the food he likes to eat and his toys.

Story
Moonpie is a former stray cat. Unfortunately not much is known about her past, but she began visiting our yard and eventually gave birth to her kittens in our yard on 07/29/2025. We brought her and her kittens inside and got her spayed. Moonpie is believed to be approximately a year and half years old. She is hesitant but once she is comfortable she is incredibly loving. She will head bump your hand for love. She loves to be held and will curl up on your lap. Moonpie needs to be in a single cat home- no other cats. She loves humans though and will want so much pets and love. She will snuggle up on the couch with you. Moonpie needs a patient, understanding furever family who can give her the time she needs to feel safe and comfortable and come out of her shell. Moonpie is spayed, microchipped, up to date on her vaccines, and has been treated for worms and fleas. She is NEGATIVE for FIV and FeLV. Moonpie must be an indoor only cat. Moonpie cannot be declawed.

Kevin is 3 1/2 years old and 17 pounds of affection he's very good with people and kids especially.(his favorite person is a 9 yr old girl) He enjoys playing and cuddling most of the day. He's very relaxed and doesn't mind being picked up and held. Something to note is that he needs to be in a single pet household as he is very territorial Also he needs a specialty food to prevent him from getting kidney stones.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Toby is a sweet six-year-old boy with a cute chirpy meow, a face full of character, and a soft spot for head scratches and head butts. He’s social and friendly with people, and once he feels at home he’ll happily show off his playful and affectionate side. He’s a sensitive guy who gets overwhelmed in new spaces and needs a little extra time to settle in. When stress creeps in, he copes by over-grooming as a form of self-soothing. Fortunately, he’s doing well on a daily anti-anxiety medication that’s easily administered by rubbing it onto his inner ear once a day. Toby was also recently diagnosed with asthma, which is currently well controlled with a once-daily inhaler treatment. He’s very patient and cooperative about receiving it, making his routine simple and manageable. Toby would prefer a peaceful home where he can feel safe and loved. He’s not a good fit for a loud or busy home, and he’d prefer no dogs or young kids. He might do well with a calm, respectful cat friend although he would be happiest as the only cat in the home. This special boy has waited a long time for someone to look past the things that make him a little different and see the loving companion he truly is. Could you be the one he’s been waiting for?

Story
Barbie was adopted about 10 years ago from Petsmart in San Bernardino for my children. Now as my children are off to college I feel she is not receiving as much love and attention as she deserves. She is an amazing and friendly cat with not one ounce of aggression in her body. She is a lazy and lovable cat with shots and home tracker chip done. She’s looking for a home with lots of love to give!

Story
Mama cat aka DeMommy is a sweet, quiet, "chunky monkey". She is a bit shy at first but warms up once she gets to know you. She loves pets on the head and scritches right above her tail. She is okay with other mellow cats and would probably do best in a relaxed household. If you are interested in this darling girl please contact fosterhueysrescue@gmail.com
