My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Cat Adoption:59

Brown tabby Gingerbread is an incredibly outgoing and affectionate cat. She purrs loudly immediately upon seeing people and comes right over to rub against your legs and bonk your hand for pets. She makes adorable chirping sounds and likes to watch what’s happening outside the windows (despite only having one eye!). She is social with new people and good with kids (who all LOVE her). She enjoys the wand toy, scratching post, wrestling with her sister, Eggnog, and playing with pretty much any kind of toy. She’s happy to snuggle on your lap after a good play session and is very sweet and affectionate with her sister.

Lynx Pt. Siamese Eggnog is also a pirate kitty, and a spunky and curious girl who knows how to use her voice to get what she wants—and what she wants is attention! Eggnog is slower to warm up than her sister, but once she gets to know her people, she demands snuggles and will ask to be picked up (or jump up herself). She’s very playful and enjoys spring toys, mousies, and crinkle toys, all of which she will carry around in her mouth. She loves wrestling with her sister, Gingerbread, and snuggling with her and her humans. She has a classic Siamese voice and has lots to say!

Both cats are quite confident and were curious about the resident cats in their foster home—especially Eggnog, who had no problem walking up to them, touching noses, or trying to eat the 16-pound boy's food while he growled at her. They would do fine in a house with other cats. They both love Churu treats and are good eaters (especially wet food that contains tuna or salmon; they’re less interested in chicken).

Medical disclosure for Eggnog:

Eggnog has had multiple full-body seizures. Sometimes a diagnosis for seizures can be reached with testing. Unfortunately, OAS does not have the resources for this. Eggnog should have a full veterinarian exam as soon as possible after adoption. Your veterinarian can make further recommendations for testing and treatment.

Additional adoption info

Thank you for considering adopting a shelter pet! There are two ways to adopt:
1. Visit our shelter (1101 29th Ave) Saturday or Sunday from 12-3pm, when we are open for adoptions.
2. Use our online process as described at www.oaklandanimalservices.org Adoptions are first-come-first-served. While we try our best to get back to everyone via our online process, sometimes it takes several days or a week or two, and the pet you are interested in may get adopted during our open adoption hours.

Please note that inquires submitted through this website about this pet may not receive an immediate response due to the large volume of inquires we receive. If you are interested in adopting this pet, please submit an adoption application to be considered.

Adoption requirements:
- You must be 18 years of age or older with a valid California driver’s license or other acceptable identification
- Never have had any cruelty convictions, animal control violations or broken any adoption contracts in the past
- Agree to and sign the “Statement of Adopter” on the adoption questionnaire which includes a waiver of liability
- Pay the adoption fees and applicable licensing fees. Fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchip
- All animals, including rabbits, must be spayed or neutered. If the pet you are interested in adopting is not yet spayed/neutered, a staff member will discuss next steps with you

Additional information for dog adopters:
- Other canines in the home must meet the new dog prior to adoption.
- Provide proof of home ownership or permission to have a dog from your landlord. We cannot hold the dog that you want to adopt while you try to meet this requirement.
- Agree to a home inspection if the dog is a large breed dog or dog that has been identified to need additional attention.
- Be aware of the Oakland and State Laws about dog ownership.

We do not place adoption holds on any animals.

More about this shelter

As the city of Oakland’s sole open-admissions animal shelter, Oakland Animal Services’ duties are as diverse as the community we serve. Operating on the leanest of budgets, Oakland Animal Services (OAS) operates the city’s animal control unit, enforcing animal welfare and public safety laws, provides care for stray and surrendered animals, supports lost pet searches and reunions, and facilitates the placement of homeless animals via public adoptions and coordination with transfer partners near and far. The needs of the community are great, but so are the results of a job well done: the enhancement of quality of life for humans and animals alike.
