Story
Hello were are two orange tabbies that got rescued from the side of the road a day before beetlejuice 2 came out we were both hanging out in a tree meowing to anyone that would listen and got rescued by some kind humans we need a home as they can not have us stay permanetly we have the usual orange cat energy Goose is a very calm and curious cat that loves to nuzzle and is soft spoken when it times for food. Beetlejuice lives up to the name I scream and meow throughout the halls and love to climb for cat treats. We are hoping we can find a home that can fit both cats as they are brothers and would hate to see them be seperated

Story
We adopted Arwen as a kitten from the local rescue shelter during 2020. She will turn five in April 2025. She has been an indoor cat her entire life. She opens up to people after she feels comfortable with them. She has not been exposed to young children or teenagers. She hid the one time she was exposed to a dog. She lived with another kitten during 2020 but has not experienced another cat since. Arwen likes to choose when she wants attention. She likes sitting on laps and sleeping on top of you (on top of the covers) at night. She loves chasing after string on the end of a stick and laser pointers. She has a kitty sock that she pounces on. Wadded up paper balls serve as kitty soccer balls for her. Arwen is not good about drinking from a bowl, but prefers to drink from a running water source. Arwen loves watching out the windows, especially at squirrels and birds. She enjoys cat TV on YouTube. She is a fairly quiet cat, but will meow when she wants attention, food or water.

This cat wondered into my work about a month ago. He is very loving and was very skinny just wanting to be loved. I am unable to keep him because I can not have anymore cats my landlord has stated. He is been eating so looks very healthy and is so loving. Loves kids and adults super relaxed and just would like to find a good home for him.

Story
Hello, my name is Topaz and I’m about 5-6 months old. I was found at the corner of a busy intersection after Thanksgiving. I took cover in some bushes and I had an injured tail. Luckily, two humans and their dog rescued me and nursed me back to health so they can help me find my forever home. Although my tail is amputated, I am a friendly, playful kitten when I’m not taking naps and lounging around on soft blankets.

Story
Boots is a 6-month-old sweet boy. He is very loved but unfortunately he doesn't get along with my 5 year old cat. I got him from a friend who found him under her porch alone. He loves to cuddle around your neck and purr and even asks to be picked up and held. He is playful and silly and loves to chase around toys or play with a wand. I feel like he needs someone who can give him more attention than I can provide. He also needs to be in a single cat household so he can be his human's main focus.

Story
Mulder is an extremely social cat. He loves people and he loves being the center of attention in group settings. He always enjoys cuddling and would be a full time lap-cat if given the chance. He enjoys cat-nip treats, playing fetch with his toys, laying on blankets, and getting as many pets as possible. He has lived with a 70 lbs lab mix for most of his life, but their connection has been one built on tolerance more than affection. He also does not do very well with other cats, acting with some territorial aggression when given the chance. We think he would thrive best in a single cat household. Mulder has been in my life for 7 years, and has been a great cat to me. Unfortunately, I have moved in with my partner and both cats are incapable of getting along. Due to our inability to give both cats enough attention, and because Mulder is sociable, and does well in new situations, we think he would do better being re-homed. Adoption fee will be donated and there to ensure a good home.

Story
Dorothy is a rare orange tabby female kitten, so cute, and very sweet! She may be a little shy with strangers, but when you pet her she will roll over and invite belly rubs. Dorothy is mellow and is looking for a similar kind of household. She has a quiet little purr and is always gentle too. While she likes to play, she equally enjoys snuggling when she's done. Dorothy needs to be adopted to a home with another young, friendly kitten to be her buddy. We could also match her with another of our foster kittens. Dorothy is fostered in Redwood City.

Story
Hello, I’m ELMO! My foster family gave me the name, Elmo, because I’m little, spunky, and super cute (I’m not red, though…I’m a brown tiger)!!! I’m also special because I have Wobbly Cat Syndrome, also known as cerebellar hypoplasia. This will not affect my ability to be like a regular kitten/cat, (please view the video posted on my profile), and it will not progress or need any extra veterinary care. I am still a vibrant, lovable purr baby and always will be. Here is a link to information about CH: https://vetmed.tamu.edu/news/pet-talk/wobbly-cat-syndrome/ About 2 weeks ago, I magically appeared in a guardian angel’s garden, squawking loudly because I was so hungry (no signs of any mom or siblings). I was tiny, dirty, and famished. My guardian angel fed me, bathed me, fed me, and fed me some more. I love her so much because she loved me, cuddled me, and made me so comfortable. In the 10 days I was in her care, I gained enough weight to be able to be transferred to a Safe Cat Foundation foster mom. Since then, I have been dewormed, vaccinated, and neutered, and now I am searching for my perfect forever family. I am adorable, cuddly, curious, daring, and the perfect kitten. I am also 100% litter box trained. I get along with people, cats, and dogs. I love to explore around the house, play with my toys (especially a special rainbow-colored wand), wrestle with human hands, and when I settle down, I love to snuggle. Please reach out to my foster mom, Mary, at 925-788-4792 if you would like to add me, ELMO, to your family!
