Story
Meet Luci, a beautiful 2-year-old short-haired grey tabby with mesmerizing big blue eyes. She came to me after being found on the street and has spent the last six months being an amazing mother to her two kittens. Now that they’ve found their homes, it's her turn! She’s a curious sweetheart who loves pets and chasing toys on a string, and she’s been wonderfully well-behaved. She’s litter box trained, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccinations. While she can be mildly skittish at times, she's surprisingly good with guests and doesn’t shy away from new people. Although she’s been an indoor cat since I started fostering her, I suspect she’d thrive as an indoor/outdoor cat in the right environment—my space just isn’t ideal for it. If you’re looking for a adorable, curious, and playful companion, this lovely lady could be the perfect fit! A small rehoming fee of $150 applies to help ensure she goes to a good home.

Story
hello I recently found this young cat in my neighborhood, she is shy and cautious but is not agressive. I asked around my neighborhood if the kitten belonged to anyone but there was no luck. Although there are a lot of strays in my neighborhood so she may be from one of the litters a feral cat may have had.

Story
Jonesey was found on the streets of Oakland as a 5-6 week old kitten about 1.5 years ago. She was bottle-fed and "reared" by her human rescuer and 17 lb terrier dog, so she is very comfortable playing with a dog. She is very independent, has a lot of energy, and likes to play with random objects in the home, as well as typical cat toys. She is not much of a snuggler (yet) but will be held and petted for a short time. She might sleep with you in your bed if you want, but would likely be at the foot of the bed instead of right next to you. She is an avid bird-watcher. Jonesy isn't motivated by food very much, but of course, does eat and is healthy and still growing. Jonesy is litter-trained but, for some reason, also pees on random surfaces on occasion, which we cannot figure out. Due to the mental health of her owner (for reasons including but also outside of caring for Jonesy), I'm trying to find Jonesy a home.

Story
Bell and Johnson are brothers adopted from the SPCA in December. They are both sweet kittens who love to play with each other. They are well behaved for the most part and have had no issues with potty training, food, biting, etc. They do have an adorable little sneeze. I am looking to rehome them only because my work schedule has changed and I will be home a lot less and dont have time to care for them the way they deserve. They are affectionate and loving and like playing with wands and activity boards. Since they are a bonded pair I am looking to rehome them together. Bell is shy and will take a minute to warm up but once he does he is adventurous and sweet and likes belly rubs. Johnson will come say hi right away, likes to cuddle and is food motivated. I can provide a water fountain, food dispenser, toys, treats, litter box dome, cat condo, scratch pad, and more. Thank you for considering bringing them home. Note adoption fee is OBO, I am open to other offers.

Story
Hi, I am Magie. I'm a pretty shy kitty but I love to sit close to you and just hang out. I am a bit nervous as a lot has changed for me quickly and I get really scared, so I really would be best as a solo kitty for a time until I can adapted to my environment. I currently live with other kitties, they say hi but I have my room where I hang out, eat, and just chill. I need to be rehomed because my elderly owner passed away suddenly. I have been in a home with a lot of kitties, and I am trying but sometimes I feel overwhelmed. Like I said I just like to chill by myself or with a couple of people a few cuddles and a warm couch. I'm pretty mellow, and enjoy my space. I do love treats, a good toy, playtime, and a blanket to hide under from time to time. It takes me time to warm up, I need a stable forever home and someone to love me for me!

Coco is a very sweet and fun girl. While she naps as much as any regular cat, she also enjoys playing by herself, with another cat, or with her owners through playing chase, or playing with her cat toy/ cardboard box /any stimulating game. She likes to cuddle with her owners and will want to sit on your lap, make biscuits on your blanket, or sleep by your legs when she wants to cuddle. Coco is one of those cats who can read your emotions and will want to sit near you to comfort you when she senses that you're upset or hurt. Coco is also low maintenance in that she is not a very picky eater and also, rarely gets sick. Overall, she is a total sweetheart who will keep you on your toes as she's a curious and smart cat!
