CALL FOR DETAILSPig is available for adoption in a foster home. If you're interested in adopting him, please call us at 619-299-7012.How this pet arrived: Pig was brought into care by his previous owner on October 22, 2023.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Pig, a seasoned feline searching for a home to match his calm disposition. Initially reserved, Pig may take a few weeks to really show his affectionate side, but once he does, watch out! This kitty thrives on companionship, whether nestled right next to you, on your lap, or sharing the bed with you for a little nap, he always wants to be near his people. While he gets along well with fellow feline friends and small animals, dogs make him a tad uneasy. Pig, a sensitive soul, tends to seek refuge in hiding spots during chaotic moments, making a tranquil home without young kids or frequent visitors ideal for him. He loves to explore and nap in cozy cubbies, has a quirky habit of exploring cabinets, and will occasionally play with toys when his napping is complete. Pig will bring love to any household ready to provide him the peaceful haven he deserves! Interested in adopting? Ask about Pig today!

Story
This is a courtesy listing, not a SPOT Rescue cat. For more information regarding Gringo, contact Jeanne below.. Sweet 5.5 year old gorgeous fixed male Gringo with soft as a bunny white fur & stunning jade green eyes has been searching for his forever home for so long! Gringo was abandoned as a kitten at my building. I took over his care when a neighbor couldn't afford to do it but I can't keep him and need to find him a good home quickly. He loves to cuddle and listens intently. He enjoys engaging in conversation when you ask him questions, which is the most adorable thing you've ever seen. He loves playing with cat nip toys and lazing around in the afternoons on the sofa or on his cat tree house. He never has had an accident in the house and comes when called, most of the time. He's highly intelligent, playful, and social. He loves to be pet and brushed and loves rubbing his head against yours. He is just a cat with a lot of love to give. Gringo loves to touch and reach his snout up for quick kisses. Looking for an exceptionally loving, cat experienced home for this gorgeous and very special guy. He loves to sleep in bed next to you but prefers if you keep the door open. Gringo comes with his favorite toys, his cat tree house, food, his litter boxes, litter, brushes, his own fancy customized Gringo tote cat bag, and everything you need to get started. He is vaccinated and microchipped. Only the best will do for Gringo. Please help find Gringo a home by sharing this post.

Yeti is a sweet guy! He is more reserved than the others but he is vocal for affection and really likes return visitors who he get to know him! Once he gets to know his human friends - he remembers them and will always say hi and reach out to them. He may need some quiet support to get comfortable initially to transition as he can be reserved at first - but he will come out of his shell! He can be pretty chatty. We have videos to show you his talking!

Say "hi" to our BEAUTIFUL tabby cross~ Fiona! Fiona is a house cat who came to us after her elder owners had to move into care. She loves to eat and sit out in the sun. She will accept your attention but is not needy. She is VERY social and loving with other cats and is happiest with kitty friends. Fiona is shy at first, but once confident she's safe, she doesn't hide. She is super sweet, and great with people and other cats. She will make the perfect companion!She is spayed, has all her vaccinations, and is treated for ticks/fleas! All she needs is you!

Silko is a sweet guy! He is more reserved than the others but in time, with patience and love, he will come out of his shell and hang out with you!
