Story
Hello! I have had Michaela since she was a few months old, I scooped her up from the street and brought home. She is a shy and lovely kitty. I have two other older cats, one in particular has never warmed up to Michaela and it is causing stress issues in the older cat. Michaela is sweet, cute, and independent. She is a great house cat, and while she may be a little slow to warm up to new people, once she settles in and feels safe she is friendly. I simply want to do what’s best for all my cats, as I’ve seen the health of my older cat get worse over time. Thank you for considering my rehoming need for Michaela :)

Story
Meet Rascal – the lovable, playful boy! Rascal and his siblings were born after their mom was brought in from living outside. She gave birth under her foster’s couch! Rascal is a funny, charming kitty who will steal your heart with his antics. He’s quite the talker with a very distinct voice, and he also has a wonderfully soothing purr. Rascal’s personality is full of delightful contrasts: he’s adventurous, always exploring new spaces and discovering everything around him. He’s curious, never missing a chance to investigate something new, yet also gentle, with a soft and sweet nature that makes him a joy to be around. Rascal is affectionate, loving, cuddles and snuggles in your lap, and he’s goofy, keeping everyone entertained with his silly antics. He’s independent enough to entertain himself, but always returns for love and attention. And of course, he’s playful, loving to chase toys and pounce around to keep life lively. All of Rascal's siblings have been adopted or on a sleepover. Now it's Rascal's turn to find his forever home. Since Rascal is so young and very playful, he needs to go to a home that has a young cat in need of a companion. Rascal has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, Combo tested for FeLV and FIV, and is up to date on flea prevention. If you’re ready to meet this lovable kitty, contact us at nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com or visit our adoption center at 3810 Castro Valley Blvd., Castro Valley. We are open Tuesday – Friday 12-4, Saturday 11-5, and Sunday 12-4. Also, Rascal will be at the Castro Valley Pet Food Express from 1-3 every Sunday until adopted. It is located at 3385 Castro Valley Blvd.

Story
Hello! This is Fig Newton (Fig for short). She is approx 3-5 years old. I adopted her from the shelter two years ago. Fig LOVES to cuddle and play. She is a dedicated work-from-home buddy and is not shy around strangers. She’s a great hunter with a bit of a feisty side. I am looking to rehome her because my small, quiet, studio apt is not best suited for her needs. Fig requires lots of love and attention, and would thrive in a home with other cats and experienced cat owners. Unfortunately due to the nature of my quiet home, Fig has been having aggressive behaviors that can sometimes be unpredictable. She is currently on a small dose of fluoxetine that she takes daily. And though that has significantly helped with the behaviors, I believe Fig needs more attention and play from a cat buddy to really help her flourish. She is a very affectionate cat and I could definitely picture her having a strong bond with a sibling.

He is just over a year old, We love fluffy so much, he has been a great cat & so good with my kids. Our new landlord does not allow for animals otherwise we would bring him with us . He is such a good cat, clean, potty trained, cuddly, playful, sleeps a lot & is just over all very lowkey and likes to nap and lay in the sun. He also loves to eat and loves cat snacks (the little handheld wet food snacks for cats) and will gently eat it out of your hand. We want to make sure he goes to a home who will love him as much as we do
