Story
Merlin is around four; we adopted him from the local animal shelter two years ago. He is a wonderful, friendly, sweet cat that we love. He sits on our laps and enjoys belly rubs like a dog. He does not ever scratch or bite us, despite him being quite playful. We only have one issue and it's not his fault, but has reached the point where it's better for Merlin to rehome. We also want him to have a richer life since he is bored here and the house is too small; he likes to play and runs fast, but there is nowhere to go. Our female cat is tiny and timid, so when Merlin tries to play with her she runs away fast, but chasing fast objects is his favorite game, so Merlin thinks she is playing. Rinse repeat; we've tried everything but it's too much stress for our female cat and our daughter. Merlin will be a wonderful single cat, or a great playmate for the right companion. We want to find him a great home because he is amazing and so full of love!

Story
Meet Poem, a stunning 2-year-old black Siamese mix who’s officially in her “me time” era. After spending her kitten-hood as a young mama, she’s still figuring out the whole “other cats” thing—she’ll tolerate them, but she plays a bit too hard and can be growly in her excitement. She prefers to be the queen of the castle and would thrive as an only cat. Now that her mama duties are done, Poem is making up for lost playtime! She’s high-energy, loves interactive toys (wands, balls, tunnels—yes, please!), and would be perfect for a home with older kids or teens ready to keep up. And when she’s done zooming? She’s all about a cozy, well-deserved cat nap. For adoption info please contact  Roxanne:  805-801-5232 www.felinenetwork.org December 31, 2025, 2:07 pm
