Billi is a VERY loving 4 year old cat but she has recently had UTI issues and been urinating outside of her litter box. The UTI is quite close to clearing however going to the vet has caused strife between her and my boy cat. I also recently had a baby and cannot keep up with her attention needs. She likes to be in your lap, sleep nearby (naps!) etc. She loves to chase treats and is beautiful colors orange and white with pink paw pads.

 Meet Sky! Female 2.5 years old Domestic short-hair Litter box trained Sweet Sky was found outside by one of our fosters, after discovering that sky was put out and not welcome back into her owner's home, she became part of the Lovepaws family! It's unknown how long she spent outside but despite her history she is a loving kitty. While she is a little timid in her new home, and will need a longer adjusting period, Sky is a playful and affectionate girl. She enjoys lounging by the window, napping on the bed and running around playing. She is a independent sweetheart but also loves playing with kids. Sky is hoping to find her new home in the New Year! Don't miss your chance to have this gorgeous girl added to your family.    Interested in adopting? Of course, you are! Submit an application here!February 21, 2025, 5:13 pm

Story
Haru was adopted by me through the shelter. They think he was 2 years old and he was found roaming the streets (but they suspect he was with an owner previously). He is a needy cat who needs a larger space to explore. Haru is very food motivated and will do anything for a treat! He is not cuddly and prefers to be pet on his terms. But he shows affection by rubbing himself up your legs and meowing. I am rehoming Haru because my space is simply too small for this cat, who is easily excited and very needy.

Story
I found Noktis four or five years ago while walking my newly acquired large dog with separation anxiety in Union City, CA. My dog lunged at Noktis' mother and she ran away, leaving Noktis behind. He was the only kitten with her and was very easy to pick up. I realized he was in a terrible condition. Noktis' eyes were glued shut by some sort of infection. He was small enough to fit in the inner pocket of my jacket, so I took him home to a room I rented in the same city. I woke up my then-boyfriend and he helped gently dab away the run-off so that the little kitten's eyes opened the tiniest bit. I couldn't keep him because I already owned another adult female cat along with my large dog. I was ready to give Noktis away but X grew attached and wanted to keep him. Noktis' has a very high pitched meow. He's a wild kitty who growls as he eats his food. He loves his brother Cloud very much! He comes together with Cloud or not at all.

I would like to rehome my black kitty Jasper because I realized recently that I unfortunately have allergies to cats. He’s the sweetest kitty and loves to lounge around. He loves to eat gravies, bird watch and sleep in bed with you sometimes. All he needs is a sweet and gentle owner.

Story
Sweet but Shy Cat Looking for a New Home Meet Yoda, an 8-year-old cat with a quiet, reserved personality. While she may seem standoffish at first, she can be incredibly sweet once she warms up to you. She has been spayed and front declawed (done by a previous family member) and is up to date on her rabies vaccine (next due November 2025). Yoda would do best in a home without young children, as she hasn’t adjusted well to our 7-month-old. She prefers a calm environment and would thrive with a patient owner who understands her skeptical nature. We’re including everything she’ll need: ✔️ Litter box & litter ✔️ Cat tree ✔️ Food ✔️ Flea & tick medication (if you plan to let her explore outside) Due to an upcoming move for work, we’re hoping to find her a loving home as soon as possible. If you think you’d be a good match for Yoda, please reach out!

Nacho is very sociable and audiable. She craves attention almost to the point that she wants her all by herself. I call a diva but you may say she is a superstar cat. Loves to eat and if her meals aren’t in time she will let you know lol. I believe she would be awesom with kids and other cats watch out because she loves to be the center of attention.
