Philly Jenkins Rescue is a 501(c)(3) San Francisco-based Cat Rescue founded in 2024. It is dedicated to rescuing cats needing high-risk medical aid and helping cats facing euthanasia find loving homes. Philly Jenkins Rescue will provide a medical history; each adoption will include microchipping. All cats will undergo spaying or neutering before being placed in their new home. Cats that have not been spayed are available for pre-adoption. Email: PhillyJenkinsRescue@PhillyJenkinsRescue.Org Please include the Cat’s name in the subject line and your phone number.  Adoption Status: Available for Adoption In May 2024, Lucy was rescued from the Apple Valley Animal Shelter prior to her scheduled euthanasia. Lucy was the sole surviving kitten from her litter not subjected to euthanization. Following Lucy’s rescue, Lucy was transported from Southern California to San Francisco. Lucy received the necessary medical treatment for ringworm and an upper respiratory infection upon her arrival. About Lucy Birthdate: March 2024 Philly Jenkins provided the following medical care: Microchipping, Vaccines, FIV Testing- Result: Negative, Spaying, Parasitology Testing, Deworming, Ringworm Treatment, Upper Respiratory Treatment and Care. No permanent medical issues have been found. All medical documentation is provided with adoption. Behavior Characteristics: Lucy demonstrates a positive disposition towards small dogs and adolescents, although she has not been introduced to individuals aged 14 and under. It is important to note that Lucy exhibits shyness in unfamiliar environments, which may persist for up to one week; during this period, she may hiss and display territorial behavior. However, she has shown a remarkable capacity for adaptation. Lucy is trained to use a litter robot  and has no reported issues in this regard. She is affectionate, enjoys giving kisses, and is highly playful, thriving in the presence of human companionship.   December 9, 2024, 1:40 pm

Story
With a name like Ajax, you know this brown spotted Savannah mix is a force to be reckoned with - in the most dashing way possible! With a coat that looks straight out of the jungle and the sleek, athletic build of a feline explorer, Ajax is a true work of art. Pictures don’t do him justice - his long, lean frame and striking markings make him look like he just stepped off a safari.But Ajax isn’t just about looks - he’s got the energy, intelligence, and enthusiasm to match! This high-energy boy doesn’t believe in dull moments. He’s always on the move, whether he’s perfecting his acrobatic leaps, inventing his own games, or engaging in a strategic hunt for the best toy in the house. As a Savannah mix, Ajax requires plenty of stimulation, enrichment, and space to thrive. He’ll do best in a home with an experienced adopter who understands his unique needs and is ready to keep up with his adventurous spirit. Feather wands, puzzle toys, and interactive play sessions? Essential. A human who enjoys an active and engaging companion? Non-negotiable.Like any true adventurer, Ajax prefers to rule his domain solo - no other feline competitors, please! But if you’re looking for an extraordinary, intelligent, and endlessly entertaining companion, Ajax is more than ready to keep you on your toes (and reward you with plenty of affectionate moments between his grand escapades).Come meet Ajax today - this exceptional cat is looking for the perfect partner in adventure!

Story
Dimitra may not be the first to greet you at the door, but she’s a cat worth waiting for. This quiet Torbie has a tender soul, and while the shelter feels overwhelming for her right now, we know there’s a loving companion hidden beneath her shyness. She spends most of her time tucked away in a safe spot, observing the world with cautious eyes, waiting for a moment that feels just right to step forward.She’s not the type to demand attention, but for the right person - someone patient, understanding, and willing to let her set the pace - Dimitra will be an incredibly rewarding companion. The little victories will mean everything: her first slow blink of trust, the day she ventures a little closer, the quiet comfort of simply sharing space.If you believe that love is built in small, meaningful moments and have a home where Dimitra can take all the time she needs, she just might be the perfect match for you. Could you be the one to show her that the world isn’t so scary after all?

Story
I have been fostering this wonderful 5-year-old cat, Cookie, for one year and four months. He lives with me and my other cats, and he socializes well with both my pets and my family. Cookie is disciplined, intelligent, and has a heartwarming personality. He loves to sit with me when I lie down nearby, and he has a special way of stealing your heart with his delightful behavior. Unfortunately, due to my busy schedule with household chores, a full-time job located far from home, and the jealousy of my two senior cats, I find it challenging to provide Cookie with the attention he truly deserves, especially since I already have three cats of my own.Cookie is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations, including rabies, FVRCP, and FELV. I also give him Revolution Plus monthly to keep him healthy. Recently, he underwent a deep dental cleaning.Cookie is incredibly cute, well-behaved, and has a wonderful personality. I am looking for a home for him with owners who are patient and kind to him

Lily is an extremely sweet, cuddly tortie who loves face rubs, snuggling and sitting on the window sill.

Kelly is a good cat, but I originally wanted one cat and since Callie is a very independent cat, she doesn’t really interact with us. It’s too expensive for me to keep both cats so I’m just keeping one and I’m keeping the cat that interacts with the family most she’s a good cat. She’s house trained uses the litter box and she’s very independent minds her business

Story
Vincent is the ultimate lap cat with the longest tail. Whenever I start working he just jumps right on my lap. He is very goofy and loves playing with toys. He is also a good boy that only scratches the scratching post. He is not picky with food and always wants more. He doesn’t meow super often. He gets his nails out when climbing one of my leather armchairs. I unfortunately can’t afford to get another leather armchair so I decided to rehome him. I’m looking for an adaptor who is gentle with cats to adopt Vincent. He would do well with other cats. He has not seen a dog before.
