Story
Hera is a stunning girl with the most gorgeous markings who was found living behind a barbershop with her five kittens. She was an amazing mama who is quite young herself - our vet estimates no older than 2 years old - but now all her kittens have been adopted, and she’s hoping for a forever home of her own. Hera is as playful as a young kitten but is also good about keeping herself entertained so doesn’t pester you or get into trouble if you’re otherwise occupied. ;) She loves being goofy with her sparkly balls and chasing a string. She has the most unique striped whiskers and trilling meow, and she loves to talk. She will run to greet you when you come home and loves to make figure-eights around your feet, chirping in her unique little voice. She gently head butts you when she wants attention, but does need an owner who understands cat language, as she is the type to want a particular number of pets at any given time. ;) Once she’s comfortable, one of her favorite spots is draped across your ankles, and she’s slowly been working her way to up to lap cat status! Hera is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, flea-free, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. She's also just had a dental because she had some broken teeth (including a canine) from her life on the streets - it looked like she tried to bite something too hard. :( Email meoworneverrescue@gmail.com and/or complete an application at meowornever.org/adopt to learn more and schedule a meet-and-greet!

Story
How this pet arrived: Noa was brought in by a community member on July 5, 2024.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Noa, a pint-sized fluffball full of sass and spirit. What can we say about this little fluff ball? Does she like pets, not really, does she thoroughly enjoy her own space, absolutely, can you win her over with some tasty churu, quite possibly. She can be hesitant about new faces and places, so she'll need a gentle and patient family to help her feel safe. She is also looking for another social kitty in the home to show her the ropes. Noa dreams of a serene home without the hustle and bustle of young children or dogs. Noa is a huge fan of treats - it's definitely the way to her heart! If you're ready to earn her trust, we're hoping that Noa will reward you with sweetness and loyal companionship! To adopt Noa, complete the interest form today!Shy/Fearful Cat: Noa requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.

Story
How this pet arrived: Ginger was brought in by her previous owner on September 19, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Ginger! This lovely lady is the red tabby of your dreams! Ginger adores attention, but she prefers it on her own terms - after all, a queen deserves to be treated like one! Ginger can be easily overstimulated at times and requires a cat-savvy household without children. This means that even though she loves attention, she can become overwhelmed and requires frequent breaks. She would love to sit on your lap and enjoy a movie night, but may not want to be pet the whole time. Ginger would thrive in a home with plenty of space to roam and a big cat tree to relax on. Ginger also has quite the vocal range and isn't shy about letting you know when she wants attention or treats! She's a charming gal and is ready to share that charm with her new family. Come by our Oceanside campus to adopt Ginger today - and don't forget to bring a large, hard-sided cat carrier for a safe journey home!For more information about overexcited cats, please Click here.

Story
How this pet arrived: King was brought in by a community member on November 5, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:King may not wear a crown, but he's still royalty! This sweet senior cat is ready to reign over a quiet, cozy home where he can bask in the love and comfort he truly deserves. King can be a bit shy at first and appreciates some time to adjust and build trust. While King isn't fond of being picked up, he has been warming up well in his foster home and is showing more of his social side. He enjoys sitting next to his foster mom and receiving occasional pets. King recently underwent a successful dental procedure and he has been treated for mild ulcers on his mouth. At his last checkup, the condition was resolved, and his new family should ensure he continues to receive routine veterinary care to keep him healthy and thriving. If you're looking for a laidback companion with a regal personality, inquire about King today! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 12.79 Age: 12yrs 2mths 4wks
