Story
This gorgeous gentleman is Figaro. He is a very special kitty. He is calm and sweet, gets along with dogs and other cats, LIKES TO GO FOR WALKS wearing his harness, even likes car rides! And when he's not out and about, he likes to watch Disney movies at home! His favorite is The Jungle Book - as soon as it starts playing, he comes over and watches it. It's super cute. He's a wonderful boy who is looking for his forever home. If you would like to make Figaro part of your family, please inquire about him.

Story
This adorable, fluffy boy is Dragon. He is a very sweet, shy Russian Blue kitty who needs a family to love him and make him feel safe. He's okay around dogs but is afraid of other cats. Who knows what he experienced before he was rescued. He's very skittish right now and frightened of loud noises, but loves affection and is super lovable. So, a quiet home with a couple, or a single person, or a family with older, calm kids like teens would be best. He's very smart - has learned how to open cabinet doors :) He loves toys, he likes to talk back to you when you speak to him, he also likes to sit and chill in the shower! He's only 10 months old and so cute. He's been sterilized and just needs his vaccines and a microchip. If you are interested in sweet Dragon, please inquire here about him. Thank you for choosing adoption.

Story
Abbie and Thomas are both extremely friendly, cuddly cats. Theyve been bonded for almost all their life and would ideally be rehomed as a pair. My partner adopted them from the shelter in Texas when they were kittens. Theyre 10 years old and are very easy to have around the house. They like to have a lap to cuddle up on and love pets. Abbie loves a toy mouse and will often bring it to you meowing. Thomas is happy to just be right next to you he’s great company. We are relocating to the UK and unfortunately due to the length of the journey we dont want to put them both under that much stress in their later years. They’ve travelled cross country multiple times and the stress never sits well with them. We would love to rehome them where they can have all the cuddles they deserve.

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
Stormi is a very special girl. She is beautiful, smart, loving, confident, and head strong. She loves being around people and lounging around the house with you. On a lazy day you will find her curled up on your lap or passed out on her cat tree. She can also be a little temperamental and would do best with someone who understands cat body language and can respect her boundaries. We would be happy to discuss this with you in detail but an experienced cat owner would be best for this girl. When Stormi's body language and cues are observed and respected she does very well and can be a great companion. She tends to be happiest in larger spaces so she can retreat to her own area when she's feeling overstimulated. She would also benefit from some outdoor access (if this can be done in a safe way). This special girl has been through a lot and deserves a chance at a forever home. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more about her.
