Story
Alley Cat is forever entertaining. She is 18 months so still has a lot of kitten in her. She is cross eyed and looks so cute. She loves chasing her toys and ping pong balls. Loves playing with kids. When she’s not playing then she’s on my lap for loving and petting. Alley follows me around the house thinking she’s helping me with my chores. Alley is an indoor only cat. She really wants to be the only cat in the house. Alley has been raised with 2 pit bulls and a chihuahua. Alley Cat is very social and would love the chance to find her forever home with you!

Story
Rosie would be great as an emotional support cat!!! Rosie is about 5 1/2 years old. She came to me about 3 years ago. I found a great home for her. Unfortunately her owner passed away this past spring. Rosie is very lovable and devoted to her owner. She loves playing with her turbo scratcher. Rosie just wants a home with someone she can follow and be their lap cat. Rosie is an inside only cat. She should be the only pet in your home. Rosie has the most beautiful green eyes. She is also a very vocal cat. She greets you with “meows” each and every time. Because she has lived in several homes, she has great manners and doesn’t touch the furniture. Rosie would love to join your home and lay with you and have her tummy petted. She does not disappoint. Please open your home and heart to her.

Story
Sunny girl was born around the first week of June 2024. I rescued her from a neighbor that said she was in the middle of the street. She was about to be run over because her eyes were so infected she could not see anything. I brought her to the vet the next day. The vet was not sure that we would be able to save her eyes. I went home with 3 different meds for her eyes. After her meds her right eye has been saved. Unfortunately her left eye has been damaged. When I brought her in she was about two weeks. She was bottle fed for a couple of weeks. Sunny girl was not tame at all. Now when I have treats, she runs up to me and rubs against my ankles and lays down to be petted. Shes getting better everyday. She is very energetic and playful. Her favorite toys are her springs. She constantly is carrying one around. Sunny is black with white on her chest. Because of being so sick at the start, she is on the smaller side. Inside only Dog, cat and kitten friendly I’m sure you will love her

COURTESY POSTING- Occasionally we assist select independent rescuers with adoption advertisement and placement. Mission Meow makes no guarantees regarding the vetting, health or temperament of this cat however you are welcome to contact us to ask any questions. Mission Meow may have had limited or zero vetting/socialization involvement with these cats, so we make no guarantees or affiliations with these cats. Contact us for an application & we will forward your information to the responsible party. Aster, while she is from the same litter as Austin, she is clearly the big sister. She's less mischievous than her brother, putting Austin in his place when he plays too rough. Aster has beautiful black and white markings and a short tail, making her not just beautiful, but unique. She and her brother are virtually identical, with Aster missing a black spot on her nose. She loves to play at the base of the cat tree with a toy mouse, tossing it up, and pretending over and over she's actually caught a real mouse. Aster loves to be picked up and will give gentle "nose to nose" kisses to her foster mom. Aster has not been around dogs or kids in her foster home. But her foster feels she would do fine with both. She lives with other foster kittens and does beautifully with them. She can initially try to be the boss with new friends, but isn't aggressive at all and adjusts to changes easily. After all, she is the big sister! Aster is fully vetted. She is being fostered in Merced. Adoption fee is $150 to cover a portion of vetting costs. $200 for the pair if adopted with her matching brother.

Mission Meow may have had limited or zero vetting/socialization involvement with these cats so we make no guarantees or affiliations with these cats. Contact us for an application & we will forward your information to the responsible party. Austin is such a sweet and unique kitten. He has a 4 inch long tail he was born with. His markings are beautiful, with a dark spot on his nose being one of the things that sets him apart from his sister, Aster. Austin likes to help his foster Mom clean his room by placing himself right in her way. Looking for attention is high on Austin's lists of priorities. That and getting on the highest platform of the cat tree, so he can look down on the other kittens. He loves to wrestle with his foster sister, Marley. He loves his wet food and cat treats. Austin has been known to have his very own crate to eat in until the others are done! Austin loves being picked up and held. Austin has not been around dogs or kids in his foster home. But his foster mom feels he would do fine with both. Austin is fully vetted. He is being fostered in Merced. $150 adoption fee to cover a portion of vetting costs/ $200 for the pair if adopted with his matching sister.

Mission Meow may have had limited or zero vetting/socialization involvement with these cats so we make no guarantees or affiliations with these cats. Contact us for an application & we will forward your information to the responsible party. Marley was found in a garbage can, with the lid closed on a hot July day this summer. Had Marley not been heard crying, she would have surely perished. She was just 3-4 weeks old. A kind vet assistant took her in. She reached out to me and asked I'd I could help. I've been fostering Marley since August 12. Marley is as sweet as they come. Her loud purr doesn't at all match her petite body. Marley will be in the small side. Her favorite thing to do is lay in your lap, while purring (of course), and play with a toy or the draw string on her foster mom's shorts. Marley loves her wet food and treats. She lived initially with a toddler and big dog. Marley lives with other kittens currently and does beautifully with them. She is fully vetted and ready for her home. Fostered in Merced. Adoption fee is $150 to cover a portion of vetting.
