Story

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Visiting Room:3When Nancy first arrived at OAS, this young girl with a gentle heart was still learning to trust the world around her. She was hesitant at first, and sometimes flattened her ears or gave a little hiss if she was feeling scared, but her sweet nature shone through when she was offered treats or given the space to warm up on her own terms. What a difference a few weeks has made! Thanks to gentle, consistent attention from our staff and volunteers, Nancy’s confidence has grown by leaps and bounds, and her heart has opened to all the love it can soak up! These days, Nancy will happily greet you with meows and purrs, rub her body against your legs, jump into your lap for pets and biscuits, and raise her "elevator butt" with delight! A couple of things Nancy is still getting used to (and definitely isn’t a fan of) are being picked up and put into a carrier. Her ideal adopter is someone with lots of cat-wrangling experience who can provide Nancy with a quiet, child-free home where her affectionate and playful nature can shine.

Story

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Cat Adoption:11Introducing Gordo & Gordita! These 2-year-old siblings are looking for a soft place to land after losing the only home they’ve ever known through no fault of their own. Both kitties have cute cow coloring and sweet, friendly temperaments. Gordo is a mellow guy who’s happy to sit back and wait for you to come to him, but who’ll reward your efforts with purrs, head bonks, and lean-ins. His outgoing sister Gordita will trot right up to say hello, making biscuits in anticipation, and can’t get (or give) enough love and affection. Together, they make a purrfect pair!December 27, 2024, 9:43 pm

Story

Notes from the foster:I have had `Fraidy` since Dec 1, and she is SLOWLY opening up! She still hides under the bed a lot, but always comes out to eat in the kitchen, scurries past me, and sometimes I find her in the living room when I wake up. She doesn`t come up onto your lap by choice, but does meow like she WANTS to (but isn`t quite there with the full trust yet)!Every night she comes up onto my bed while I am laying down in the dark, and gives a cute `meow!` and allows me to scratch her chin, body, pet her, but keeps just the right amount of distance to be able to bolt in case a fast move or sound frightens her. She is slowly gaining trust! I have hope she will get better at it. She is afraid of toys, and does not come to a call, but she played on a handmade cat mat that is infused with catnip the past few days, and she likes to jump up on my window sill behind the curtain. She doesnt allow me to pick her up, or cuddle, but she sleeps next to me on the bed in her little bed. So it is getting better!

Pip

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Are you an independent person? If so you will likely understand an independent cat. Pip is your girl. She is smart, independent, and sensitive. Sound like you? You might be a great match for this adorable, furry soul. Respect one another, allow space, and connect when it's mutual and you will be on good terms with her. Pip will seek out a pet every now and then on her terms. She wants her alone time and doesn't want to be stressed by too much activity or noise. She is fostered with other pets and it's a bit much for her. She will probably do best as a solo pet. Pip needs to be respected and honored in terms of her wishes for closeness—or not. She is happiest when in charge of her destiny. She enjoys playing. Pip seeks out affection and purrs contentedly when held after a nap, but on her terms and she'll let you know when she is done. Her gentle hiss is not mean way, it's how she communicates. She is fairly accepting of strangers and will probably connect to a new family quickly if you are patient and savvy to her. Pip is a great cat but needs to be honored and cherished as an independent creature. We estimate Pip was born on September 1, 2023. Kitty Bio #348LRa-Pi.

Story

Davis is an active kitty who loves to explore new things. This strong and healthy guy loves to run, wrestle, and jump high. He enjoys belly rubs and cuddling next to you as you sleep. He loves attention and craves playing with you as you make the cat dancer toy come alive. He shows off his slender kitten physique with adorable stretches and poses. Davis is fine with strangers and loves to interact. He will tell you when he wants your attention with his little squeaks and chirps. He requires another cat or kitten to keep him company in his forever home. His brother Kris would be an excellent match. These two brothers have been together since birth and are totally devoted to each other. They eat, play, and sleep together. Adopting the two of them will give them a soft landing in their furever home and they will acclimate quickly. He would also be good around children over 10. Estimated birth date is mid-April 2024.

Story

Dazzle doesn’t have a job but he does have good looks and a great personality! Dazzle is a stunning gray tabby boy with gold eyes. He has a lot of kitten energy and works it out through interactive play with his humans and wresting with his kitty sister. He is cautious around new people and situations but warms up easily with treats and interactive play. He is curious, determined, and food motivated. Dazzle loves a food/treat puzzle and will definitely figure it out. He can be very vocal when he’s playing, if he’s lost track of his kitty friend, or if he is confined. He has a favorite toy and is absolutely delighted when he rediscovers it. When he’s not playing or bird-watching, he’s passed out in a cozy spot like your lap, the cat tree, or the couch. Dazzle will need a kitty friend in his forever home. He loves his sister Razzle and they make a great pair if you are are able to adopt two kitties. He would also be okay with a friendly resident cat. He has not been around dogs or young children. Older, calm children age 8+ should be okay. Dazzle’s estimated date of birth is April 2024.

Story

Do you long for the wonderful healing vibrations of a cat’s purr? Razzle is the sweet petite girl for you! She is an outgoing, happy cat who is almost always purring. She is a little shy in new situations but warms up quickly. She is very curious and loves to climb, explore, and play. She will chirp and trill while playing independently—so cute! Razzle has a lot of kitten energy and can definitely hold her own in a kitty wrestling match. She loves people and is often under foot, following her humans around. She is learning about being a lap cat and shows great potential. Razzle likes to be held and sometimes asks to be picked up. She is easy to please and truly a joy to be around. Razzle will need a kitty friend in her forever home. She loves her brother Dazzle and they make a great pair if you are looking to adopt two kitties. She would also be okay with a friendly resident cat. She has not been around dogs or young children. Older, calm children age 8+ should be okay. Razzle’s estimated date of birth is April 2024.

Story

Meet Luci, a beautiful 2-year-old short-haired grey tabby with mesmerizing big blue eyes. She came to me after being found on the street and has spent the last six months being an amazing mother to her two kittens. Now that they’ve found their homes, it's her turn! She’s a curious sweetheart who loves pets and chasing toys on a string, and she’s been wonderfully well-behaved. She’s litter box trained, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccinations. While she can be mildly skittish at times, she's surprisingly good with guests and doesn’t shy away from new people. Although she’s been an indoor cat since I started fostering her, I suspect she’d thrive as an indoor/outdoor cat in the right environment—my space just isn’t ideal for it. If you’re looking for a adorable, curious, and playful companion, this lovely lady could be the perfect fit! A small rehoming fee of $150 applies to help ensure she goes to a good home.
