My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Cat Holding 3 (Cat Alley):6

Sweet senior girl Muffy is looking for a soft place to land after hitting a bit of a rough patch.

This beautiful 8-year-old polydactyl once had a home and a person or a family to love, but more recently found herself living on the street. There, she was chased and attacked by two dogs, and suffered bite wounds. After she was brought to OAS, our vet staff patched her up and attempts were made to contact her previous guardian, without success. (Reminder: Make sure the info on your pet’s microchip is up-to-date!)

While her injuries healed, which they’ve done nicely, we discovered that Muffy is an absolute doll in good overall health. She loves receiving gentle pets and chin scritches, and will purr softly, make biscuits with her paws (complete with extra toes!), and roll around to show her pleasure. Of course, being a lady of a certain age, Muffy has opinions: When she’s had enough petting, or if you accidentally touch a spot on her torso that’s still a bit tender from her run-in with the dogs, she may let you know with a little bap of her paw. So she’s looking for a loving guardian who will respect her boundaries and who doesn’t have dogs or small children (respectful older kids are probably ok).

Muffy is ready for her happily ever after—could it be with you? As with all of our senior pets, her adoption fee is waived!

Additional adoption info

Thank you for considering adopting a shelter pet! There are two ways to adopt:
1. Visit our shelter (1101 29th Ave) Saturday or Sunday from 12-3pm, when we are open for adoptions.
2. Use our online process as described at www.oaklandanimalservices.org Adoptions are first-come-first-served. While we try our best to get back to everyone via our online process, sometimes it takes several days or a week or two, and the pet you are interested in may get adopted during our open adoption hours.

Please note that inquires submitted through this website about this pet may not receive an immediate response due to the large volume of inquires we receive. If you are interested in adopting this pet, please submit an adoption application to be considered.

Adoption requirements:
- You must be 18 years of age or older with a valid California driver’s license or other acceptable identification
- Never have had any cruelty convictions, animal control violations or broken any adoption contracts in the past
- Agree to and sign the “Statement of Adopter” on the adoption questionnaire which includes a waiver of liability
- Pay the adoption fees and applicable licensing fees. Fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchip
- All animals, including rabbits, must be spayed or neutered. If the pet you are interested in adopting is not yet spayed/neutered, a staff member will discuss next steps with you

Additional information for dog adopters:
- Other canines in the home must meet the new dog prior to adoption.
- Provide proof of home ownership or permission to have a dog from your landlord. We cannot hold the dog that you want to adopt while you try to meet this requirement.
- Agree to a home inspection if the dog is a large breed dog or dog that has been identified to need additional attention.
- Be aware of the Oakland and State Laws about dog ownership.

We do not place adoption holds on any animals.

More about this shelter

As the city of Oakland’s sole open-admissions animal shelter, Oakland Animal Services’ duties are as diverse as the community we serve. Operating on the leanest of budgets, Oakland Animal Services (OAS) operates the city’s animal control unit, enforcing animal welfare and public safety laws, provides care for stray and surrendered animals, supports lost pet searches and reunions, and facilitates the placement of homeless animals via public adoptions and coordination with transfer partners near and far. The needs of the community are great, but so are the results of a job well done: the enhancement of quality of life for humans and animals alike.
