Story
Meet Ziggy, a handsome, hefty, and agile 6-year-old tuxedo cat with a strong hunter instinct! Despite his size, he’s nimble, adventurous, and loves to roam, explore, and keep pests at bay. A true "garden" or "working" cat, he thrives with space to patrol and always returns home for food and shelter. Due to recent apartment restrictions and new unfixed neighbor cats, Ziggy has lost his outdoor freedom, leading to stress, overstimulation, and occasional lash-outs. While anti-anxiety meds help, the best solution is a home where he can explore, hunt, and live with purpose. Ziggy isn’t a lap cat but is perfect for someone who values an independent, hardworking feline. He’s not ideal for small kids or elderly owners, but he’d thrive with outdoor access, a garage retreat, or even the cat door he’s always wanted. He doesn’t deserve to end up in a shelter. If you or someone you know can give Ziggy the active home he needs, please reach out!

Story
**He will be neutered before leaving Korea. Meet Yusol * Yusol appeared one day at the construction site of a new Adogs shelter. The site was bustling with large vehicles and ongoing work, making it a dangerous place for him. But as soon as he saw people, he ran over meowing and rubbing against the representative’s legs as if to say, “Please take me with you!” Unable to leave him behind, the representative decided to rescue him. * With People: Likes people! Tends not to respond to strangers but shows affection to familiar people, asking to play and hug. * With Cats: Got along very well with other cats at our center. * Separation Anxiety: Has no separation anxiety. Doesn't stick with a guardian but looks for him or her only when he has something to want. * Litter Type: Currently uses tofu litter. * Hygiene: Dislikes having his nails trimmed, but tolerates it and waits well when given treats. Is very good at being brushed! Dislikes tooth brushing but endures it. * Play: Likes all toys including fishing rods and balls. Is active enough to play for two to three hours in a row. * Car Sickness: Has shown no signs of motion sickness during short trips. 💌Other💌 * Knows how to sit if there are treats involved!

Story
Meet Halli * Halli was rescued along with her sibling, #AdogsGalli. Their mother, a street cat who frequented a feeding spot near the shelter, sadly passed away from feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) after giving birth. Left alone, Halli and Galli were urgently rescued and brought to our center. * With People: Is relaxed even when visitors come over. Doesn’t hide and is comfortable lounging belly-up. While she tends to stay near familiar people without clinging too much, she occasionally comes by to show affection, making her a master of playful push-pull dynamics. * With Cats: Plays well with other cats and gets along smoothly at our center. * Separation Anxiety: Stays alone very well resting on a cushion or a cat tower. * Litter Type: Currently uses a mix of bentonite and cassava litter. * Hygiene: Dislikes bathing with a lot of meowing. Stays calm with gentle brushing. Resists nail trimming with meowing but endures it well if finished quickly. * Play: Loves hunting games so much. * Car Sickness: Tends to have motion sickness, but recently the symptom and vomiting are improving thanks to blanket and clothes that smell herself when moving. 💌Special Notes💌 * Is curious about human food, so it’s important to keep her distracted with toys or other activities. * Has mastered the “sit,” "nose," and "paw" commands. * Is a bit scared of loud rustling noises, such as plastic bags crinkling. ❗Health Condition❗ * Spayed. * Has a habit of over-grooming habit could be due to allergies, so continuous monitoring is necessary.

Story
Meet Chunja💕 * With People: Is a true “puppy cat” who adores people! Eagerly runs over when called, shows her affection to human, and purrs loudly when petted. Even climbs onto laps and rests her head in hands, asking for more cuddles. * With Cats: Is very social and enjoys playing with other cats. Is also incredibly gentle—she even shares her food with her feline friends! * Separation Anxiety: Can stay home alone without issues. However, when her guardian is around, she prefers to stay close and follow them around the house. * Litter: Currently uses tofu litter without any issues. * Grooming & Handling: Accepts brushing well! May meow in protest when getting her nails trimmed, but stays calm when held and reassured. * Car Rides: Is a relaxed traveler and does not experience motion sickness. 💌 Special Notes💌 * Has already learned “Shake” and “High Five”—is a smart and trainable cat! * Is very expressive—if her water or food bowl is empty, she will meow to let you know. * Tends to shed during a shedding session.

Story
Meet Meo💫 * With People: Sniffs strangers and passes by when they sit still. Becomes energetic and plays very well without wary when people waves fishing toys. Bunts her head against hands and acts charming when being petted. Can be called back. Climbs on the laps for sleep or taps the hand, asking for being petted when you sit on the chair. May shy away if you stand up and approach too quickly. * With Cats: Lives with #AdogsTeo and is very dependent on him. Imitates Teo’s actions, and enjoys playing together. Meows if Teo is out of sight. * With Dogs: Not exactly confirmed as she hasn't encountered them. Seems indifferent to dog's barking. * Separation Anxiety: Stays well with Teo but meows and looks for him when he is out of sight. * Litter Type: Uses a mix of bentonite and cassava litters. * Hygiene: Likes being brushed and purrs happily when it starts. Tolerates nail trimming when being held but tries to run away when it takes long. Nail trimming bit by bit is recommended. * Play: Enjoys hunting play, but her favorite is dribbling balls or toy mice. Prefers textile scratches to wooden ones. Like fetching balls when they are thrown. * Car Sickness: No issues with car rides. Stays calm in a kennel covered with a blanket. 💌Special Notes💌 * Is so interested in grass that she may chew on houseplants like small tree leaves or cactuses. Only chews on cat grass if provided nearby. * Tries to groom humans. If you lie down, she might try to groom your hair and chew it, so be cautious. * Likes bread very much. Caution is needed since she tries to chew even the plastic bag in which bread is. * Is smart enough to be called back. Appears when you call her name and tap the floor. ❗Health Condition❗ * Spayed. * Has slight rhinitis. It is necessary to keep the environment not too dry.

Story
🆘️ We are looking for a forever family for Teo. Teo can be adopted along with his sister, Meo. 🆘️ 💙 Teo’s News Account: @foster_zip_ 1️⃣ Health Condition * Neutered. * Has a heart issue but is not serious. Only regular monitoring is needed. * Has a weak digestive system, so consistent observation and management are necessary. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * Teo was rescued along with #AdogsMeo. He was found very skinny near the accommodation of an Adogs volunteer. He had a deep wound on the nape of the neck, which led the Adogs to rescue him. Now, the wound has healed and he has recovered his energy. 3️⃣ Basic Information * With People: Likes following people, lying down with his hips attached to them, or sleeping on the chest, around the neck, shoulders, or the face of a person. Gets shy with strangers for a little bit, but purrs and taps with his hands, asking to be cuddled. Has a puppy-like personality. Gets along very well with human babies. Has never shown his claws or hissed. * With Cats: Is currently living with #AdogsMeo and plays well with her. Plays pranks well, but also has such a gentle manner that he shares his food with Meo! * With Dogs: Has no response to the dog he met while waiting at the vet’s office. * Separation Anxiety: Is okay for an hour or two with Meo. Sometimes has become attached to the guardian, meowing or scratching the door to open it. * Litter Type: Uses a mixture of bentonite and cassava sand. * Hygiene: Really likes brushing and purrs while being brushed. Is normally good with nail trims, but sometimes dislikes it. Accepts baths nicely. Shows his dislike when the dryer wind touches his body but doesn’t run away. His anal glands should be expressed regularly. * Play: Loves hunting games, even chattering with excitement. Plays very passionately only with a box. * Car sickness: Has no car sickness. Doesn’t like a small and dark kennel, trying to get out of it and meowing. 4️⃣ Special Notes * Likes rustling plastic bags and toys! Likes chewing plastic, so caution is needed. Sometimes drinks the water left in the dirty dishes, so it's best to do the dishes right away. * Is a smart cat and comes over when you call his name! * Is a little attached to Meo, so he often meows and looks for her when she can't be seen. * Has good spatial awareness, so he tends to explore a new place without getting lost.

We adopted Chanel from a shelter here in Carson, California. I still have the adoption papers. She is 3 years old I think. She has been spayed. Is a chubby cat and likes to eat. We adopted her almost 2 years ago, but my daughter is leaving town for college far away and we are too busy to take care of the cat. Because we want Chanel to go to a good home, we are offering $200 CASH incentive to prospective adopters.

Story
Cleo is a very friendly, curious and playful kitty. She is the biggest snuggle bug ever and loves sleeping in cozy necks. She's approximately 2.5 years old and we adopted her from a close family friend who was fostering her with her 8 littermates. She used to be best friends with her sister Pepper but when we were out of town over one year ago she decided she was her worst enemy. After lots of cat training and patience we unfortunately haven't been able to reverse this which is why we are looking to rehome her. She is a wonderful cat, pristine with her litter box, doesn't scratch furniture and is a great listener. Cleo is very attached to her owner, Emilie and will need some patience to warm up to a new family. We would not suggest she goes to a home who is not familiar with cats.
