Story
This stunning calico was rescued with her brother. They’re friendly, loving, and we would love to see them go home together, but it’s not essential. She is a cuddler, loves to be picked up, enjoys the laser pointer, spring toys, and feather cat dancers. They eat healthy, wet, food, and have an amazing array of cat friends to play with every day.

Story
We got this cat right before the fires in LA, and had to move to San Diego with her. Her previous owners stated that she was an indoor cat, but they had to give her up because she didn’t get along with other neighborhood cats. That didn’t make sense to us—how would that be an issue if she was indoors? Once we moved to San Diego, we figured out what probably happened: they likely weren’t honest about why they gave her up. The cat does bite. The previous owners probably didn’t disclose her bite history because they were afraid no one would adopt her, or worse. I just want to be transparent about her behavioral issues and that she needs experienced cat owners or a home without restrictions. I don’t want to give her to a shelter because I want to see she goes to someone who understands her needs, not a place that might lie about her history, leading to another rehoming situation. She is very sweet and playful most of the time, just challenging when she gets upset.

Meet sisters beautiful Cinnamon & Maple:) gorgeous Tortoiseshell 5 month old kittens:) They have been together but they can be adopted separately. Maple the one with the white snowshoes would prefer to be the only kitten while Cinnamon won't mind other kittens - Tortoiseshell cats are beautiful creatures affectionally called “torties.” Best known as “the divas of the cat world,” They are currently being fostered around children, other cats and dogs. They are very affectionate as they’ve been constantly held, handled, and loved since they were first rescued. They are beautiful. All of our kittens are looking for a loving and safe, forever home.

Story
Lucy is a 10-year-old mixed breed calico lady, a gentle snugglebug who likes to lay alongside you or in your lap once she gets to know you. She was adopted from a shelter as a "teenager" (young but past kittenhood) and has been a sweet companion to an elderly couple. She can be a bit timid at first in a new situation, and likes to have a dark place to hide while she gets the lay of the land, but she has been the dominant cat in her two-cat household and won't take long to show her queenly colors again. Her companion, Little Bit (who is a larger but more timid cat) is also going up for adoption at the same time. They can be adopted together or separately.

Ori is such a sweet girl! She is more reserved than the others but she likes quiet and calm affection and really likes return visitors who she gets to know! Once she gets to know her human friends - she remembers them and will say hi and reach out to them. She may need some quiet support to get comfortable initially to transition as she can be reserved at first, but she will come out of her shell!Ori has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping available

Story
Age: 9 months old Gender: Female Breed: Domestic shorthair cat Weight: 7.5 lbs Personality: Miss RuPaul was found in a parking lot in Mississippi at just a couple weeks old and then was flown to TAP. She is very friendly and energetic. She loves to play and make biscuits on her fuzzy blanket. Like all babies she loves food and attention and if you’ve got those you’re good in her book! She is dog and kitty friendly and most likely good with kids (haven't met them yet). Education: She wears a diaper as she is incontinent. Favorite Activities: Playing with any toys but especially strings Looking for: A home where she will have toys and people to give her attention. Ideally no stairs she will need to go up or down. She is so full of love and playfulness. She is fearless and brings so much joy to the home she is in. She may look different but inside she is the exact same as any other kitten. If you need a ray of sunshine that’s Ru Paul! Special needs: Her back legs are paralyzed and she wears a diaper because she can not control when she goes to the bathroom. Paraplegic, suspect secondary to spinal trauma. No pain and no surgical intervention is needed. Adoption Fee: $ 50 ##2210441##

Story
Age: 7 years old Gender: Male Breed: Domestic Short Hair Weight: 17 lbs Personality: Willoughby grew up in a 1 bedroom apartment with 1 other cat, 1 dog, 1 adult and 2 young kids (boy and girl). He is a big lovey boy who's very relaxed about being picked up, wants lots of pets, and likes to be close to his people. He can get very insistent about getting pet, and occasionally gently bites, but you can avoid it when you get to know him (I'm working with him to redirect him right before he does it). He loves napping on your lap, and interactive play time. He also likes climbing up high to find a nap spot. He has not scratched anything except his scratching post, and he hasn't knocked anything off of a shelf or table top. He's been perfect with his litter box and his previous owner said he never peed outside his box. Education: Litter Box trained Favorite Activities: Napping on your lap. Playing with interactive toys. Chasing his tail (very cute). Looking for: A big, sweet purr-meister, he has a lot of love to give! He's super chill, and an overall easy kitty. He's soft and so nice to pet, and added bonus: he barely sheds. He grew up in a very busy household, but is doing well in his mellow, quiet foster home. I think he would love to be in a household with a couple or a family to give him the amount of affection and attention that he'd prefer. He got along fine with his terrier-mix dog and 5-year-old female kitty "siblings." Special needs: Buddy boy is a bit of a chonk, so his food will have to be carefully measured until he reaches a healthier weight. Adoption Fee: $ 50 ##2291294##

Story
Rocket was rescued from the streets along with his 3 siblings in 2017 and was adopted that year. Unfortunately, his adopter moved across the country and could not take him. He became fearful of people after a vet visit. He tolerates other cats but rather keep to himself than interact with them. He has overcome some of his fearfulness and enjoys playing with wand/string toys with his foster. Rocket needs an adopter who can manage his shyness. Please consider becoming his forever home where he can live out the rest of his days comfortably indoors.
