Meet this handsome ginger-striped boy! 🧡 He is neutered and microchipped and is looking for a loving new home.He is a very chill, independent cat who mostly keeps to himself, but he absolutely loves being pet and getting attention on his own terms. He gets along well with other cats. I’m unsure how he does with dogs, so a slow introduction would be recommended.He is not a cat who enjoys being picked up — he will usually jump out of your arms — but he is very sweet and affectionate when he comes to you on his own.✨ Neutered✨ Microchipped✨ Good with cats✨ Unsure about dogs✨ Very chill and independent✨ Loves being pet✨ Ginger/orange striped coatI’m looking for a safe, loving home where he can be comfortable and cared for. 🧡

Story
Meet Jynx, Shes had one owner and shes always been so loved and prioritized. She’s currently 10. Adopted at 3 months. Shes loves to play with rubber bands,catnip pickles, toy mouses, strings and playing with the light glare from the sun hitting the phone. Her favorite places to be is underneath the bed,cardboard box, outside on a patio or warm concrete and in pillow/blanket forts. She loves poofy soft sherpa blankys, she makes biscuits..Shes been around dogs& a bird before, doesn’t do well with both. With other cats is unknown. I want her to live in a good size quiet home, someone who can spend time with her and play with her. Shes such a sweet baby& will need time adjusting. I am looking for someone patient for my baby, someone who will love her unconditionally. She loves when you talk to her while prepping her food, and having company while eating. She likes to get rubs behind her ears/side of her jaw and she loves to be loved/loves to cuddle when she trusts you. Requires patience.

Story
Katt is 5yrs old and is a very curious and mellow cat. Katt has a habit of sneaking into every nook and crany of the house, he loves to find somewhere high up for a nap. And if you have anything new he'll make it his business to inspect it. His favorite way to play is when he feels like a hunter. Katt does well in most situations he was raised as an indoor cat; But he does get let outside every now and again and I could easily see him becoming an indoor/outdoor if you wanted. He does well with most animals he just tends to just ignore them the same goes for children; The house he's lived his whole life in has 7 kids 3 other cats and four dogs so he's used to a loud and crowded home. The only thing I advise be careful about is if you have other male cats in your home. When there is multiple males there can be territorial issues and Katt likes to be at the top of the food chain. So I'd suggest Caution if you already have a male cat.

Story
Despite his name he is a very sweet cat towards humans. I have other cats that he has not been getting along with. he is very docile you can pick him up and give him medicine and he wont over react. he doesn't mark and uses the litter box. he doesn't scratch furniture he likes cardboard scratching instead. he likes to lay on my chest at night for some pets. he is very food motivated so getting him to do things is easy. i wish i could keep him but i have exhausted my options on trying to have him get along with the other cats.

Story
My cat was adopted with his brother from the Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary on November 16, 2024. He and his brother get along very well. He was born on June 10, 2024 and neutered on 10/23/2024. He is friendly with me and loves to sit on my lap. He gets along better now with our dogs but in the beginning he did not get along well with the dogs because he was afraid of them. He is still some what uneasy with dogs. He is a healthy cat and affectionate with the person who feeds him. He has not been around young children.
