Story
Misty started coming around my home in the fall of 2024. She would stay long enough to be fed then disappear. I knew she was female and that she didn't belong to any of my neighbors so I began to worry that she was an un-spayed stray. I didn't want her to have to deal with kittens in the winter so I took her in to my local shelter to take advantage of their TNR program. But to my surprise she was chipped! The shelter took her in, but unfortunately no owner came to get her. I felt terrible that she was stuck in the shelter and after nearly a month there I decided to take her in. Unfortunately my first resident cat has been overly aggressive towards her and all efforts to get them to cohabitate have failed. We've decided the best for Misty is to find her a loving home else where. She is a great companion cat, will keep you company but is not clingy. She's very affectionate and talkative. She is up to date on shots, and will be 2 years old in June.

Story
Meet Kitty Girl! She’s a sweet, loving, and gentle cat who is about to have her babies. Unfortunately, we can’t keep her since we already have her siblings. We want to find her a caring home where she and her babies will be loved, but if you’re only interested in adopting the kittens, we can consider that too. Please help us give her the loving home she deserves!

Story
Stormy is a very energetic playful and sweet boy. He is 2 going on 3 years old. He loves wet food and treats. He can be a bit skiddish at first but warms up quickly. He also can be a bit talkative especially around lunch time 🤭 I would love for him to go to a home where he has other cat siblings since he does so well with other cats. He will also do well alone if he has a lot of play time and enrichment. I unfortunately can no longer have him in my care due to some issues in our apartment . He is litter boxes trained and has never had any accidents. He also answers to his name really well.

Story
I adopted Akira from the Rancho Cucamonga Animal Shelter when she was 11 wks now 7 mos . She is a beautiful buff (light orange tabby), shy but very sweet girl. She was rescued from a sewer before being taken to the shelter, so she is a survivor. She likes to be loved on & being petted and to be with you. If you approach her calmly she will let you pet her & she will purr and go in her back for belly rubs . If she feels nervous she'll leave. She is very clean & has great litter box habits. Michelle is calm & loves to sit by a window or snuggle up in a comfy cat bed or your bed. She will come & keep you company if you're relaxing, watching TV, or working. I think she just likes to feel in control of what is happening to her, being picked up makes her nervous and she simply tries to get down, so just follow her lead. She gets along with two other cats. I think she will do well in a calm home.

Story
BMO is loving, caring, affectionate, and needy cat. If you are looking for a cute and fluffy fellow to provide you with company and sweetness, this is the cat you’re looking for. He loves to cuddle, play, greet you by walking against you, and purrs so much. BMO is a shy cat, but after some treats in playtime, he will be sure to be yours, this will take some time. His funniest and cutest trait has to be his meow, rather than sounding like a cat, he sounds like a chirping bird.(HE IS VERY QUIET OTHER THAN WHEN HE IS HUNGRY). He does not meow to go outside either. I really do love BMO but I’m afraid I can’t provide him with the life he deserves. I have a busy lifestyle and because he is so needy and I already have a cat, It’s hard to give him all the attention he needs. He is litter trained and needs a privacy spot to adjust to a new home, such as a place under the bed or a cat hidey-home. I am listing him for $5 dollars but really, he is free. Help give BMO a loving home with other cats!

Story
Sally is the first baby that was born into our rescue. We worked with Tina to get the kitties that she was feeding at her work trapped and taken care of. They were shutting down the business. We got Hope, who was pregnant, and we promised Tina that we would take care of them and the new babies. On March 21st Hope went into labor and Sally was born that night. We normally keep the same letter for the mom’s and the babies, but we named Sally after Mark’s mom since she was born on her birthday. Sally has always been independent, and very curious. As she has gotten older, she is also very sweet. She loves to play with toys and loves a good feather wand. After playtime, she enjoys a good nap and curling up with her person. She isn’t a super cuddly kitten, but she does enjoy love and pets. She does well with other kitties and is very easy going. She is up to date on vaccines and spayed.

These pups are in Ontario, California too!

Bella is a 7 year old female that is either an American Shorthair or a Bombay. Her human (my mom) had to go into hospice and she needs a forever home where she will be loved and have regular human interaction. I am my mothers POA and cannot take Bella in due to my asthma and allergies. She needs to be rehomed as soon as possible so that she can have the fulfilled life she deserves!
