Story
Mitta is a 2 year old cat (Capricorn) who was rescued as a 7 month old single mother of 4 kittens off the streets of LA by a local cat rescue. I have had her for a year and a half, and she has enjoyed the domesticated life in the Bay Area since. She is a confident, friendly, affectionate, vocal, energetic, and social classic lap kitty who loves to cuddle with strangers. You can pet her as much as you want and she will gladly accept, especially face rubs! She loves jumping high places, sunbathing, and bird watching from windows. She has never had the instinct or desire to go outside, even when doors are open. She would be a perfect addition to a house that can give her more attention than I can due to my demanding work life. She would do well with another cat or patient dog. If you're looking for a lap cat, please consider Mitta for fulfilling your biscuit orders. She has lived with 2 bunnies before and tolerated them, although she prefers cat/dog/solo. Foster-to-adopt is available!

Story
Ham and Elvis are the sweetest bonded brother duo! They are both 3 years old. I have another cat with special needs and unfortunately, Ham and Elvis do not get along at all. Since my other cat is blind, she is not able to defend herself again Ham and Elvis, making it a stressful situation for everyone. After a year and a half of trying every remedy possible, I am making heartbreaking decision to rehome them. Ham (brown tabby) is an extremely social and energetic cat. He loves to play with his wands toys and also loves going on supervised walks outside. His bother Elvis (tuxedo) is a little more timid, but still loves to play and cuddle once he is comfortable with a person. They are both incredibly loving and funny cats. Most importantly, they love each other. Which is why they are only able to be adopted as a pair. Some things to note: Ham eats a special urinary diet (Purina Pro Plan Urinary Care and wet food) and Elvis eats that as well, since they eat their meals together.

Story
Panini is very special in her own way. She’s very skid dish due to her original home (hoarder). She’s has recently learned to go outside and actually come back in when she’s ready. I have several pets and need to downsize. This is the main reason for wanting to rehome her. She can be sweet at times.
