Story
Cleo is a very endearing and sweet girl. She is a stray that we took in, but unfortunately our other cat is not fond of her. She is about 4-5 months old, and got her vaccines on 07-21-24. I would love a home that gives her attention as she’s very loving and loves to be cuddled/ held! She will fall asleep on you if given the chance to! Loves to play, very energetic throughout the day but will also cuddle up and wind down with you. Her favorite toy are feather wands! Great with kids, my 5 year old sister adores her! Not shy whatsoever, and will meow to let you know when she needs to use the bathroom! Very sweet girl, unfortunate thing that we cannot care for her.

This is Peanut. She was found in my grandmother's backyard from a feral colony. We rescued her with her 3 other litter mates. We found homes for 3 of them but not yet fir Peanut and I have exhausted my efforts through my network. She is 13 weeks, super playful and sweet. She loves other cats, she savy and knows where to potty. She is very healthy, clean and has has no fleas. She is not feral at all as we've had her with people since she was 3 weeks old. We would love to find her forever home. We already own 7 rescues and we are spread thin. I'm hoping that someone will save her and we won't have to release her back to the colony.

Story
We adopted Marshall a few years ago when his great personality and beauty caught our eyes. He is a very friendly. Loves to hang out with people and will beg you to touch him and snuggle with him. Sometimes when I'm lying on my couch he would crawl up into my belly and cuddle with me. Personality wise it's hard to ask for a better cat. Sometimes he will try to nibble you when you are rubbing his belly. He does that to show his affection and he is just trying to play with you. We are letting him go because my parents are staying with us more often and my mom has leg issue and gets tripped by little animal sometimes because Marshall honestly is kinda like a dog that wants to follow you everywhere you go. We are sad to let him go and wish he could find a nice home.

Hi, my name is Bowie! I’m a 9 year old all white cat with heterochromia! I was born deaf, but I don’t let that stop me from enjoying life. I am in need of a new home because I lost my dear grandpa last October, and my grandma has fallen ill and is no longer able to take care of me. I need a home with no other animals, but I am very friendly to humans and have interacted with many humans that have come to visit grandma and grandpa over the years. I hope you’ll consider giving me a chance!

Nick is a gorgeous, sweet cat who purrs loudly when you pet him. He is playful with our other cat, and has no issues with our dog. He is litter-box trained, and is not a picky eater. All in all, he is a wonderful cat and we wish we could keep him. We adopted Nick in December 2022. He had bonded with another cat in the shelter, so we brought them both home. He has always been very well-behaved, but he has become increasingly scared of activity in the house and loud noises. He really prefers a quiet environment, and shies away during the daytime hours when our daughter is around. We feel he would be more comfortable in a home that is more quiet and peaceful (no young kids).

Meet Cloud, a beautiful 5-year-old feline who's had a bit of a rough past. Once a beloved house cat, she found herself lost and alone on the streets before being rescued. Now, she's ready to find a loving, forever home where she can be the center of attention. Cloud's Purr-sonality: Affectionate: Loves cuddles, belly rubs, and head scratches. Her purr is like a motorboat! Playful: Enjoys chasing toys and batting at feather wands. Independent: Content to lounge in the sun or curl up for a nap. Needs to be the Only Cat: Due to past experiences, Cloud prefers to be the sole feline ruler of her domain.

We adopted Ruby late last year from a shelter in Southern California. Ruby is super playful and sweet. She can be a little shy but adapts well to new environments. She has only one eye which is how we found her in Southern California. She is an indoor cat and we haven’t noticed any special needs due to her having one eye.

These pups are in San Jose, California too!

We took in Pumpkin when she appeared to be lost (she had a flea collar). We did not want to leave her in the Animal Shelter while attempts were made to find the owner. After placing flyers around the neighborhood and posting with San Jose Animal Shelter no one claimed Pumpkin. We can't keep her and would like to find her a forever home or a foster in the meantime instead of taking her into the Animal Shelter.
