Story

We got her, Mikan from shelter in Santa Clara. She was born mid June 2023. She’s really gentle and quiet cat. Never been to outside other than going to veterinary. We didn’t want to let her go but my family members got huge allergic reactions. She’s really playful and miss you every time we come home. We definitely will miss those moments. I have litter box, 2 automatic water dispensers and 1 automatic foods dispenser as well. Please contact me if any cats lovers out there. (xxx) xxx-xxxx

Story

Cloud is a very shy cat. She will only come out to eat her food, but can be very loving if she trust you. She was found in the parking lot of a supermarket local to me to which I then rescued her and kept her with me, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I am being asked to relocate from my apartment and cannot bring her with me so I need her to go to a loving family and home.

Story

Fanta is a cuddly, playful and spunky male cat who loves attention and his wet food! He is neutered with all vaccines up to date and microchipped too. He was found crying outside a friend’s garage on a very rainy day. I took him into my apartment to foster him while I searched for a permanent family for him. Although I would love to keep him, I am very allergic to cats and have a dog with a high prey drive. Fanta easily warms up to new environments and people (warms up more quickly with females). He has never shown aggression but since he is still young he does get a couple of zoomies throughout the day. The ideal home for Fanta would be in a house or large apartment where he can run around and that has good natural light as he loves to sunbathe by windows. I have all the cat necessities such as a carrier, cat bowls, a litter box, and toys. I can also provide any remaining food and litter too!

Story

Chonk was one of our cats that were born from our mom cat, he is now 3 years old. We are looking for a new home for him because our landlord is making it difficult for us to stay if we keep the cats. Chonk is neutered so he is very tame and meek, he will be shy in a new home environment but can be trained to get used to it. Although not playful, he is nice, will meow a lot at us often time if he want to drink water or eat. He's also one of the bigger cat in our family.

Story

Hi, looking someone to adopt my cat. Her name is Janice. Around a year and a half old. Up to date vaccines, and spayed. She will be very shy at first, please be patient and give more love to her, then she will be sweet for you. The reason why I rehome her because my other cat can get along with her. She got some wounds on her head and neck(didn’t show on these pictures). She is in the quarantine and get much better, she is waiting the wound area to grow hair again now. However, she is not aggressive to other cats, my other cat didn’t get injures. So, if you have other friendly cats at home, still good for her. I will give her rest of food and kennel if you want. Please pm me for more details if you’re interested.

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Ginkgo was born at the height of the COVID era in summer 2020. She was originally a “foster fail” because of how adorable and sweet and playful she was. She struggled with stomach sensitivity from kittenhood and had to change diets many times to find something that wouldn’t cause vomit or loose stools (eventually we settled on Hill’s z/d, but she would still throw up occasionally). I loved and cared for her for two years but eventually needed to rehome her because she developed a habit of biting me (and no one else) for attention, and when I became pregnant it was too risky to keep her around me, as I couldn’t keep taking antibiotics while pregnant (in the two years she had caused 4 bite-related infections that needed to be treated). I really struggled to give her up because she was so lovable aside from this problem, and I had tried every kind of intervention to change her behavior, with no success. Another family took her in for 1 year only and her behavior is now much improved.

Story

You can’t help but adore this affectionate stray. Shy at first, she now confidently walks into the house, insists upon being pet, and has fun with clicker training. She travels with her own condo made from an insulated cooler, including entry tunnel, 3D printed rain awning, swinging PetsSafe door as a predator escape hatch, and straw base for warmth and comfort. Based on her tipped ear, she was spayed, vaccinated and released before landing on our doorstep. Right now, she prefers being outdoors, probably because that’s what she knows. When she first decided to venture inside, she would slink around and get agitated if we closed the door. We're now at a point where we can close the door while playing with her. We suspect she would adapt to an indoor-only environment. I am happy to answer questions, share additional photos and videos, and deliver to a good home!

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Maya is about 4-5 years old. She is VERY sweet, cuddly, and playful. I adopted her from her previous owner a few months ago, in Feb 2024. I adore her but I also have another cat and a dog (35lb labradoodle) and Maya does not get along with them... especially my other cat. She has shown some aggression (hissing, and sometimes scratching) BUT that's only been while living in my home, she didn't show any of those behaviors in her previous home (I can connect you to her previous owner if you'd like) so I think it's from the stress of living with my other animals. It breaks my heart to re-home her, but I don't think it's a good living situation for any of them. I think she would be the most perfectly sweet and fun pet in a home as an only kitty.

Stormi is a cuddly rambunctious spirit. She is small for her age, but she makes up for it in curiosity. Her favorite thing to do though is lay down and rest with who’s ever near by, she’ll be purring and sleeping in minutes.
