Story
Meet Dumpling. Once a part of one of our South Oakland colonies, Dumpling is a small tuxedo girl who couldn't cut it as an outdoor kitty. Quite skittish around loud noises (and loud humans), Dumpling very much needs a quiet home with the company of kitties who will let her cuddle them and humans who understand her strange gremlin ways. To humans who greet her with patience and love (and a treat or two in their hand), she is a lovebug who purrs up a storm (and drools out of happiness) and can't get enough cheek scratches. She also LOVES butt pets and gentle spanks, but don't tell her that we told her about her butt fetish. She also loves high perches to watch her world where she can feel safe. Dumpling seeks a rescue-savvy owner who will love her gremlin and hissy self for who she is, and give her a loving home for her to continue to bloom into a real kitty. She would do best in a home with other cats, no dogs, and no small children. Dumpling is around a year and a half, spayed, fully vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV negative.

Story
Meet Dorothy. This classic brown tabby was rescued from a colony on the border of Bloomfield and North Oakland as a young mother. At just 7 months old, she had already had one litter of kittens. She didn't seem like a truly feral cat, so we decided to keep her inside and give her a second chance. Over the last 10 months in foster, she's come a long way. She can still be very wary of humans and jumpy to touch, but she's made so much progress that we're sure will only continue in the right home. From taking every chance she could to hide, to now greeting her foster at the door and even rubbing on their legs at dinner time. And now, if you're lucky, she will let you sneak in a pet or two at dinner time or at your feet if she's in the mood! She's an incredibly sweet cat that deserves a calm, patient, and loving home that is willing to give her the time that she needs to fully trust and feel comfortable and safe. Dorothy is a young and energetic girl and LOVES to play. She'll unleash her inner kitten on any wand toy yoy have and loves to play in her tunnel. She also loves other cats once she gets to know them. Having been a young mother, she's a bit of a matriarch and will mother any cat she meets regardless of age. She knows her boundaries and is not afraid to teach a new cat what they are with a good wack. But with a good and proper introduction, she'll be cuddling and playing the day away with her new friends and needs a home with other cats. Dorothy is about a year and a half, spayed, vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested FIV/FeLV negative.

Story
Meet Houdini. Originally trapped as a TNR case from a feral colony, he was the only one who decided he'd rather live indoors instead. He was a bit shy at first but has blossomed into the sweetest little gentleman. Houdini is a very loving guy. Because of his feral start, he can be a bit shy in a new situation but it doesn't take long before he's strutting his stuff with confidence. He has the cutest little meow and will use to ask for attention and, of course, dinner. He doesn't mind being picked up and enjoys being held and cuddled - he'll even make biscuits while you hold him! He doesn't mind other cats and would do just fine in a home with others or by himself. Houdini is about 1 year old, neutered, vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested FIV/FeLV negative.

Story
Meet Katie! Katie is a dilute calico with beautiful green eyes and is an independent, loving, and playful girl who loves pets but is just as content alone. She is quiet and rarely meows, but she greet you with the smallest meow when you come home. While it will take some time for Katie to warm up to you, once she does she will rubbing up against you, giving you head bumps, curling her tail around your legs and giving you love bites, all while soaking up the pets. She likes head and butt pets and will purr and purr for you. Katie is a good huntress and loves whack a mole type of play and chasing ribbon, feather or worm teasers. She loves Temptation treats also has very clean litter box habitats. Katie was rescued from a lifetime outside and while we don't know her exact story, we expect she was being cared for as an outside cat, but was allowed inside occasionally and the person moved away. Katie is friendly but shy and is not used to the comforts of the indoors, she prefers the floor to a blanket or bed (but she is starting to enjoy a nice fluffy blanket and even the bed on occasion). She was leery of things like laptops, music and the telephone at first and still doesn't like lots of noise and activity around her, because of this, she would do best in a quieter home with little commotion. After all that time outside, it's no surprise she is reserved and scared sometimes, but she will come out of her shell with some gentle words, head pets, treats and time. While she does get along with other cats, Katie would do well as an only cat as well. Whatever her past, she is still an affectionate, spunky girl with a little bit of sass and is on her way to a better, safer life indoors! Katie is around 6 years old, spayed, vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested FIV/FeLV negative.

Story
Meet Risotto. Affectionately known as Rizz, this charming black void perfectly embodies the blend of sweet and sour. Rizz is incredibly affectionate and lovey, but in true feline faction, he may suddenly signal with a gentle tap or low growl when he's had enough. But when he's in the mood for cuddles, his love knows no bounds! Rizz has a very playful spirit and is certainly a kitten at heart. He loves just about any toy that crosses his path. His endearing underbite makes him a frequent open-mouth breather, which is simply the cutest thing in the world. Currently, Rizz is a devoted mentor to his foster brother Mofo (Mo), helping him navigate the world of being an indoor cat. Rizz would thrive as either a solo cat or with cat siblings, provided a proper introduction! Rizz is about 2 years old, neutered, vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested FIV/FeLV negative.

Story
Meet Cacio. Rescued from the streets of Allentown, this sweet, shy girl is looking for a patient and loving home where she can truly shine. Although she may take a moment to warm up, once she feels safe, she's quick to purr and soak up affection. Cacio loves gentle pets and enjoys being held. With just a little encouragement, she'll roll over for belly rubs, revealing her playful side! To help her thrive, Cacio must be adopted with another kitten from Petco or to a home with another young cat. Together, they'll create a warm, loving environment where she can grow more confident and come out of her shell. If you're ready to open your heart to this shy sweetheart, Cacio is eager to find her forever home! Casio is about 4.5 months old, spayed, vaccinated, flea-treated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested FIV/FeLV negative. She is available at the Waterfront (Homestead) Petco Adoption Center.
