Story
Chuck is a playboy   He is affectionate & extremely smart. He has ideas about how he wants to run the house & does his best to make sure all his servants & kitten pals follow his rules.  Occasionally, a newcomer comes, & he must, quickly & gently, put them in their place before things get out of paw.  He will settle down for a nap with his people or his brother.  He is a bed buddy, like his brother, Bill. They are bonded..  Unlike his brother, he needs redirection occasionally. Raised with care by an older couple. Feral Cat Foundation.   Chuck has a great sense of entitlement   He is FIV/feline leukemia negative, treated for worms and fleas, up to date on all immunizations including rabies, microchipped & neutered.   If you would like to meet him, please call Arlynn @ 925-518-8582, You may also meet them at Petco in Livermore by appointment weekdays or evenings, weekends, 11:30 AM to 2::30 PM

Story
Minnie is a quiet observer, the kind of gentle cat who seems to find comfort in soft beds, sunny corners, and peaceful hidden spaces. Minne spent time in a loving foster home, showing how she keeps everything around her neat and tidy, as if quietly telling you how much these routines matter to her. To learn more about Minnie, her foster mom used a hidden camera and captured moments of her playing joyfully when she thought no one was watching, revealing the playful and spirited kitty beneath her shy exterior. Now that Minnie is back from her foster home, we understand more about her needs. She'll need a forever home where she can have time and space to feel safe opening up at her own pace. A quiet household without too much activity would help her slowly come out of her shell and reveal the sweet, loving cat she longs to be.If you understand patience, gentle spaces, and the magic of giving a shy heart time to blossom Minnie could be your perfect match.If you live in the Bay Area and interested in learning more, email Michelle@JamesonHumane.org To learn more about our adoption process, visit https://www.jamesonanimalrescueranch.org/adoption-process

Story
Hi, I’m Beanie — tiny in size, massive in spirit. I’m the kind of kitten who dives headfirst into life (literally, as my story proves). One minute I was hurt and in serious trouble, and the next, I was in the right place at exactly the right time — on the counter of a Banfield hospital when two kindhearted vets just happened to be picking up prescriptions. Talk about luck! I had a scary injury (part of my head was exposed — yikes!), but after two surgeries, expert foster care, and lots of love, I’m healed up and ready to rule the world. And I will rule it — with zoomies, bold leaps, fearless curiosity, and the confidence of a tiny lion. I sleep on pillows like a queen, climb like a pro, and play hard. I definitely need another young, active kitty friend to wrestle with and share adventures. I’m spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, FeLV/FIV negative, and 100% unstoppable. If you’re looking for a kitten who’s survived the odds and lives every moment to the fullest — I AM your girl! I am available for meet and greet by appointment only so fill out an application for me today!  Watch my story here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DLa5SJ0uhEh/   MUST FOLLOW APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Go to  https://www.kittenrescue101.org/adopt/available-cats and Click "adopt" on the cat's profile you are interested in. Clicking adopt does not mean that you are adopting this cat. It will take you to an application to fill out which is the first step of the adoption process. (NOTE: If the kitten is a bonded pair, do not apply for him/her as a single kitten. These applications will not be considered) We do not adopt out single kittens. Potential adopter must have an existing young kitty 2) If your application is approved, you will receive a call back within 2-3 days with an appointment time slot. We do our best to match the cat to the best environment/family/situation as possible based on the cat's personality and temperament. We cannot call back every applicant with an update. You will receive a call if your application is selected. Thank you for your understanding.  ##2410312##

Story
Hi! I need to make a very hard decision. Im looking to rehome my 4 year old Siamese mix cat. He recently began to fight with my other cat and they cannot get along. We have tried everything but they can’t stand each other. He deserves a loving and safe home. He has all his vaccines, he’s neutered and microchipped. He is strictly indoor, loves to play with wands and mice toys. He loves to lay on your lap and he is a talker! It makes me sad to do this but he is not happy here anymore. He is the sweetest cat ever, we brush his hair and trim his nails at home. Please reach out if you can provide him with a safe and happy home.
