Shy but friendly and living in a parking lot of a business that is moving in April 2025!
CoCoPuff is a 3-4 year old spayed female Siamese street cat who showed up at our founder's medical office as a feral cat about 2 years ago and was trapped-spayed-released. She decided to stay there and lived in the bushes surrounding the parking lot. The entire office 'adopted' her and provided her with a name, outdoor shelter, regular food, flea medication, fresh water and food.
And yes, she does know her name and meows to it but it probably can be changed anyway
Over the last 6-8 months, CoCoPuff has decided that she likes the good life and actually likes humans. She is venturing into the building (and is allowed to hang out in one of the offices). She likes being petted, demands attention from her favorite people and even stands up and taps them on the lap and 'yells' at them if she is not getting her demands met.
Because of this, we have decided to try to find CoCoPuff a home of her very own. Her ideal home would be a quiet and safe environment where she could have access to an enclosed porch or catio because she does enjoy the outside but would need to do this safely. She takes some time to warm up to new people and so she would need someone who is gentle, patient and loving with her and would give her the time to do this. Once she loves you though, she is obsessed.
Our founder (her current servant says this)
CoCoPuff adopted the provider who had my office before me and a condition of employment was that I accept that she was allowed to come in and sit on her throne (cat bed) on the days that I am in the office. My entire office provides her with food, catnip, toys, fresh water, wet and dry food and shelter. Apparently in the last 6-8 months, she has allowed people to start petting her and has ventured inside the building to sit inside the room that became my private office. When I was hired, I became her servant. She demands attention now and wants to be petted and loved and talked to. She is very vocal to the point where my Telehealth patients hear her on calls and laugh. I have a dog at home who is NOT cat-friendly and cannot adopt her myself and we have not been successful with our patients and staff in finding her an appropriate home, so we are posting her through the rescue.
The office has decided that we would like to find her a REAL home before it gets cold and rainy even though she does have a fabulous outdoor shelter and inside access. She recently has been getting beaten up by some new cats that have moved into the neighborhood (hence the scarring on her nose that is resolving) so she is spending more time inside the building but is very unhappy about not having some outside access.
She is using the litterbox inside and adores the water fountain. She thinks wet food is the best invention on the planet.
She has been getting beaten up by new cats who have moved into the neighborhood (hence the scarring on her face which is resolving) and so she is currently afraid of them BUT in the past co-existed just fine with other street cats. We think she would do okay with another cat or two in these situations
1. Your cat/s are calm, quiet and would mostly ignore her at first and she has a place to retreat to if she is scared initially
2. You can separate her from your other cats until she acclimates no matter how long that takes
As far as dogs, we feel that the only situation where she may be able to tolerate a dog is if you have a very calm, very quiet, very cat-savvy dog who will not bother her at all and if they develop a relationship at all, it will be on CoCoPuff's terms OR you have a complete separation of your household that never mixes
So we know it is a big ask to find a quiet, patient home who ideally has a screened in porch, sunroom or catio who will give CoCoPuff a gentle place to live and be patient with her for a few weeks or months until she decides that you too are her servant
CoCoPuff is spayed, FIV/FeLv negative and parasite free, Before she goes to a new home she will have her shots updated and be microchipped. She was a street cat who was TNR'd so her ear is tipped and it is obvious -- if this aesthetic bothers you, then CoCoPuff is not the cat for you. And before you come for us, our veterinarian did not do the surgery -- it was an unknown TNR group outside of our area.
CoCoPuff is currently located in Yuba City, CA (40 miles North of Sacramento) HOWEVER we can get her to multiple other areas so please do not let this limit your decision. Due to her gentle nature, we do not think long transports are reasonable but we will entertain requests if the perfect home is out there. We can easily get her to Sacramento, SF Bay Area, Santa Rosa Areas and can discuss other areas for amazing people who can give her the right home.

Qualifies for Seniors for Seniors?: ADOPTION FEE WAIVED FOR ALL ADOPTERS
Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 12

All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and given any additional treatments (dental work, bloodwork etc) as recommended by our vet.
Adoptions to veterans of the US Armed Services are ALWAYS free to thank you for your service.
