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 :)

One year old Black Tuxedo -FemaleIsa (Mama Cat) 1 year+ (Spayed, Vaccinated, Ready for Forever Home) Hi, my name is “Isa”, and I am a sleek Black Tuxedo Cat born in 2024. I am a very sweet and friendly cat who loves people. I am looking for my forever home with a family who will give me the love I deserve. I do very well in a calm environment. Please consider taking me into a room to get to know me better. While you are at it consider bringing my adorable kitten Bella to play with us too. We would both make a nice addition to your family. NO DOGS as they make me very nervous. I am my best with my kitten Bella, if you were looking to adopt 2. Unfortunately, I do not like other cats much. I would be okay adopted by myself as a single cat. If interested in adopting contact sponsor: Suzi Harris at (925) 708-6967 Foster Contact: Jose at (415) 218-9105March 7, 2026, 12:02 pm

Meet Butterscotch and his 4 siblingsMeet Butterscotch, Oscar, Oliver, Olivia and Octavia– 5 adorable, purring bundles of fun! These sweet siblings started life like many stray kittens do — born in a backyard. But thanks to a kindhearted hero named Rosa, they and their mama were rescued from the streets and given a second chance at a happy, cozy life.  Born April 30th, 2025 Now? They're thriving! This fantastic feline litter loves nothing more than romping around together, playing hide-and-seek, and even cuddling up to the family dog. Yep, they’re pup-approved! Because kittens grow up happier and more confident with a buddy, we’d love for them to be adopted in pairs. Twice the mischief, twice the love! Ready to meet these irresistible fluffballs and maybe fall in love? Reach out to Suzi Harris at 925-708-6967 to learn more. We’re on the lookout for warm, caring homes where these little ones can be spoiled with love (and treats) Butterscotch is an Orange & White Male Oscar  Black & White M (top left) Oliver Grey & White M - white face Olivia All Grey F (lower Right) Octavia is female (lower left) March 7, 2026, 12:02 pm

Story
Bailey is a beautiful 3-year-old spayed American Shorthair cat with a affectionate personality. She’s the perfect mix of cuddly lap cat and curious outdoor explorer. I adopted her at 4 weeks old after her and her brother had been abandoned. She’s grown up around dogs and kids, but she no longer gets along with her brother after he came home from a month in the hospital. She would do well on her own where she could be the center of attention. During the day, Bailey enjoys being both indoors and outdoors. She loves lounging in the sunshine, climbing trees, and chasing the occasional lizard. Bailey also enjoys curling up on your lap or napping beside you on the couch. She also has a playful side — she loves to chase string or bat her toys around the house.

Story
Want to meet? [Fill out the Application], then email it to the contact in this bio. Sweet Allie is the best balanced cat. She is very chill, a good friend, not too demanding and not too withdrawn either.  She lets you know when she's ready to eat, and rubs herself on your legs to "help" you along in the process  She loves to perch on her cat tree and watch the action outside the window. She loves to play with the cover and the wand toys/feathers. Allie can get along. with other cats, but is most happy being an only cat. She;s the perfect companion for a single person. If you would like to meet Allie please email Paola at MyNewFurreverFriend@gmail.com or text 925.323.0503April 9, 2026, 4:26 am

Story
Meet Rose and Lilly, 2 independent spirits who find joy in quietness. If you are ok with having roommates rather than lap cats, please consider them for adoption. They have been with me for 6 years, and they are still very shy. They avoid contact but they’re very well behaved, healthy and low maintenance. They bonded with us in their own way, Lilly lays on a heated pad on the table next to us while Rose guards our bedroom door at night. They like watching birds and chasing lasers or each other. Since they can’t be pet, their ideal solution is someone with other cats who is willing to take it slow. It would be best to keep them in one room until they acclimate. A larger home is ideal, but they managed to live in a small apartment with another cat and a toddler. They’re ok with cats, I'd avoid dogs or children. They deserve a place to live out their days safely and happily, on their own terms. If you have a heart for independent cats and a safe space for them, please reach out.
