Story
Apollo is one of four kittens we took in at 4 weeks old when mama abandoned them near Point Loma. We bottle fed and raised him and his siblings. We fell in love with him and his brother Bear, but due to busy schedules we aren’t able to keep them any longer. He’s super affectionate and easily one of the most loving cats we have had. He goes limp and starts purring the second you pick him up. He is now 6 months old and is the sweetest babies you could ever ask for.

Story
Leap is a 3 year old cat looking for a new home. He is a very friendly fluffy chill cat that loves eating, belly rubs, and being held like a baby. He is playful with other cats and very friendly towards people but other than that you can find him relaxing around most of the time. I'm looking for a home with owners who have no problem taking care of this fluffy adorable cat and treating him well.

Story
This is Carly! She is a stray kitten we have taken in, so her breed is a guess. She’s super sweet and loves playing. She is fully vaccinated now! We’d love to keep her, however we already have pets so we don’t have the room inside. We want her to go to a good home, preferably someone who has time to show her the love and care a kitten needs. She is accustomed to being outdoors, but I believe she will be great indoors if trained. We will provide her bed, a bag of food, a small scratching post and some toys.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Check Me out ! Morelia had a rough start in life and was a mom cat herself fending for her and her babies. She was very timid and fearful but then they came into Amazing Strays. All her babies have now found forever homes. She does well with people once you earn her trust with yummy treats. She would do best in a quieter home with another cat and no dogs. She does fine with the older kids in the home. Morelia has always been on the shy, timid side. She does hide when uncomfortable. Once she's comfortable with you, she will jump up on the bed or sofa and ask for pets. She loves being petted! Then the biscuit making begins. Morelia will do best in a house with another cat about her age. She feels comfortable with one of my personal cats, and likes to hang out with her. She is an incredibly sweet cat who will need a very special person willing to give her lots of love and pets. Adoption fee for Morelia is $150 and  includes FVRCP vaccine, FIV/FELV testing, spay/neuter surgery, deworming, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate) and microchip. Please fill out our application HERE if you interested in meeting or adopting this cat and we will be in touch right away!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Check Me out ! Meet Padme Mamadala! She was a stray mama kitty that was rescued with her adorable trio of kittens- that have been since adopted. Her kittens were born on May 4th- aka 'Star Wars Day'. She is our beautiful tortoiseshell with a sprinkle of 'tortitude.' She ready to 'leaf' her shy ways behind and curl up with you for purr-fect snuggles. She loves bird watching, toy chasing, and the occasional cat nip. Ideal for a quiet family with a cat friendly dog. She prefers female kitties over males. She's a great lap cat. Welcoming pets and scratches from all. Make your autumn extra cozy and there's nothing like a blanket and a biscuit making cat to warm your heart! She is available for our 'foster to adopt' program. She can be shy when meeting new people, so our 'foster to adopt' option allows potential adopters to take home a pet for two weeks so they can really get to know them before making a final commitment. This would be a perfect option for Padme.  Her adoption fee is $195 and includes her spay, vaccines, deworming, flea treatment, and a negative Felv/Fiv test. If you are interested in meeting Padme, please fill out an adoption application HERE. May the force be with you!
