Story
Bubbles is a sweet, affectionate little guy who just wants love and attention. We found him as a kitten under our back porch in 2021, and he quickly became part of our busy household with three dogs and two additional cats. He bonded well with our other cats, but he was always frightened of the dogs, so we set up a system where the dogs stayed downstairs and the cats had their own safe space upstairs. Over the past four years, our older kids have moved out, along with the other upstairs cat. Now Bubbles spends most of his time alone upstairs, and he has become so lonely. We don't have the time to give him the companionship he needs, and our remaining kids at home aren't animal people. Bubbles deserves a home where he can be around people or other cats who will give him the affection he craves. We love him deeply and just want him to have the happy, social life he's meant to have.

Story
I adopted Lou is original name in August 17 of 2024, he stole my heart first time I saw him at adoption center, he literally jumped in my arms, took him home,I renamed him Happy for always being such a happy cat, he understands that name very well, but bringing him home was a bad idea my female cat hated the idea of me bringing a new cat home/male/ she changed drastically into just not being a happy cat anymore, I decided to give them time to get along but as time passed nothing got better, maybe a little bit, but I installed cameras at home to check on them, and What I saw broke my heart, it was a constant fight with them, they would fight pretty much everyday. Would come home after work and would see pieces of their fur on the ground. He’s still a good boy he loves to cuddle and he just loves to be around you, but unfortunately I can’t give him the best space he wants without my other cat just not being okay around him! So please if you’re interested let me know he’s a good cat

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Seren was one of a batch of kittens my children and I rescued during Covid. When she was young, she was able to get along with her siblings, mother and the other rescued cats, but as she got older she got increasingly grumpy with other cats, until now it’s causing quite a bit of stress on her and all of the other cats. As they sleep, she will try to pounce on them to wake them up and steal their spot, and although she doesn’t injure them it is causing them all a lot of anxiety and they are accidentally clawing my children as they run in fright. We have rescued cats in different rooms so we don’t have any cat-free area for Seren. Her best characteristic is she’s extremely affectionate and cuddly, a great nap buddy. She is really friendly and interested in being around people, and of course she has a really beautiful coat. Her worst problem is that she has to have a flat pan as a litter box, as she will only use the regular litter box for pee but needs a flat place for poo.

Story
Bebesito was born around 3 years ago to a stray cat. For more than half his life, he has been a stray before we took him in. Although he stayed with us, we did not have the funds to provide him with the proper care and attention he needed. Just recently, we have moved to a new home and our schedules have only gotten busier. We want to provide him the attention and care he needs, but we know we are unable to do so, mentally and financially. Bebesito does well in a calm, yet fun environment with lots of toys for him. He is uneasy around new people, but becomes more confident and playful once he gets to know you. Bebesito is easy to get along with, not only with humans but also with other cats. We love Bebesito dearly, but we know it is only selfish for us to keep him when we know he deserves so much more than we can provide. He is a sweet, talkative, and playful boy who loves getting pet. We know he would be happier at a home with lots of attention and care.

Story
It’s been hard for this beautiful boy to get much traction on here. Lobo’s owner passed away suddenly and he needs a new loving home. Lobo is a playful boy and easily bribed with food and his favorite brush. He loves zooming around, playing games and sitting with his person doing good purrs. He is a clear communicator and is quite handsome. He appreciates fresh air (but is an indoor cat). He needs a kind home to process the loss of his person, he is so so wonderful and sweet. He would love to be your best bud!!

Story
Hi everyone! I unfortunately need to rehome my cat, Jeb. I’ve had Jeb since 2021 and he’s gone with me all throughout college and grad school. I will be moving for work and unfortunately cannot take him with me. I’m looking for a kind new home for him! A little about him: - My friend rescued him in Lodi, CA in 2020 where he was abandoned as a kitten. He was neutered at a clinic in Stockton however my friend misplaced the paperwork - He is very friendly and enjoys meeting new strangers. He likes to cuddle and sit with you. He does have sharp nails that I do cut often just so he doesn’t accidentally scratch me while he’s laying down making biscuits! - He has lived with other cats/dogs before and has also been indoor/outdoor as well. Currently he is just indoors but he loves going outside too! I am happy to send him with extra food that I have, litter, and a cat water fountain. Please reach out if you are interested or know of anyone who may be interested! Thank you

Story
I adopted my cat when she was 4 months old from Petco at Arden, and now she is 3 years and 6 months. She is a loving, playful, and gentle companion who brightens every day with her sweet personality. Always well-behaved and affectionate, she loves being around people and enjoys both cuddle time and playtime. I have cared for her with love and patience, and she has grown into a loyal, happy cat who deserves a kind, caring home where she will be cherished.
