Skip and Biff

Domestic Shorthair

Male, Young

La Mesa, CA

(when grown) -

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I'm looking for a home for both my cats they're male and they're litter mates. Skip and Biff are 10 years old,in excellent health and have been well cared for. We've had to move unexpectedly and it been hard on them. Skip and Biff came from the Pacific Northwest my son rescued them from a watershed area when they were just kittens. They're both neutered and chipped. They are indoor cats, in fact if someone opens the door to the outside, they run and hide they prefer being indoors. They use a litter box and love Purina's premium brand for weight control. If they had it their way, I'd sit in a chair all day and they'd take turns sitting on my lap. Skip doesn't like the sound of fan motors. You might hear him "meow" when appliances, like an exhaust fan or air fryer is running. They're not destructive and really care about one another. They have to stay together.

Tohru

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 1 yr 8 mos

San Diego, CA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Tohru is a super sweet young mama cat who is ready to find her forever home! She came into rescue when she and another mama cat had eleven kittens between them who needed homes. She was such a good mama to all eleven kittens, nursing them whenever they wanted even when their teeth started to come in! Now mamas and babies have all been spayed, and Tohru is ready to live the kitten free lifestyle! (Although she would really love to be adopted with one of her kittens as a playmate - but will be happy to not have to raise a whole litter ever again!) Tohru is very purry and absolutely loves attention from her humans. She'd love to hang out with her person, and show off her kittenish side because she still loves to play! In her foster home, Tohru has been around kids, dogs, and other cats, and would do well in just about any forever home!

Evening

Domestic Shorthair Siamese

Female, 8 mos

San Diego, CA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Evening came into rescue from a hoarding/neglect situation with her very sick kittens, who unfortunately didn't survive. Evening was very shy to start with and was scared to be touched, from trauma in her past. She has a scar on the back of her neck, we're not sure from what exactly. She has turned into a super friendly kitty after a few short weeks in rescue, and will make a wonderful companion for anyone willing to be just a little bit patient with her! Evening is still a little shy, but warms up pretty quickly to new people, loves snuggles, and is very chatty! She is super sweet and loyal, and will follow her person around the house while chatting to them. She is still trying to figure out how to play with toys, but is very inquisitive and curious with new things. Evening would love to have a kitty buddy, but would do well as an only cat as well. She would do best in a quieter home without young children, and she has lived with dogs in the past.

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Oreo is a very sweet boy but he's very shy! He needs a nice quiet home that's patient with him and willing to give him the time he needs to come out of his shell. When he was younger he was fostered by a lady and her small daughter. He absolutely loved the little girl but she was very allergic. So he had to come here to the rescue. He likes having safe spaces that are quiet and enclosed to hide in. He is more of the personality that he will come to you when he is ready so he needs a family who understands that.

Bandit

American Shorthair

Male, Adult

El Cajon, CA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I adopted Bandit 7-1/2 years ago along with another kitten. They got along pretty well together, the occasional spat. Last October I sold my house, and the cats had to go into foster care because I had surgery and the apartment wasn’t ready for me. The cats moved in before I did. When I moved in, they were fine. My roommate has an American Bulldog named Angel. She is a sweetheart, very playful. However, Bandit was not a fan. He scratched Angel up and very nearly blinded her. In this time, Bandit was getting more and more aggressive with Tricksie, my other cat, as well. He also bit and scratched me when frustrated. It is an untenable situation that breaks my heart. Bandit answers to Bandy, Bandit, and Buddy.
