He’s two paws up! Meow! My name is Bandit, and I’m a 1.5-year-old Domestic Shorthair Tuxedo kitty, weighing in at 11 pounds.  I’ve already been neutered, I’m litter box-trained, and my health is in purrfect shape.  My journey began when I was adopted from SDHS as a kitten.  I then went on to live in an apartment with my owner who sadly passed away.  While growing up, it appears I was exposed to doggies, so I’m generally a fan of all animals.  However, I wasn’t handled too much so I don’t like being picked up. I’m a super sweet guy, with a soft, shiny coat.   I make cute-sounding mews and love everyone I meet.  I’m young, playful, and adaptable to new people and environments.  I’m a skilled jumper and like to check out all counters, tables, and shelves that are accessible.  My favorite activities include watching birds outside and playing with my toys.  When I get bored, I also like to open cabinet doors to see what’s behind them! I’d do best with a furry sibling – either a friendly kitty or doggie I could play with.  But, I’d also do just fine as the solo pet in the home, too, just as long as I got plenty of attention from my humans! Kiddos are A-OK with me, but I’d prefer older ones since they can better respect my boundaries.  Other than that, I’m an indoors-only kitty, so I’d appreciate an owner/family who would be diligent in closing doors and windows behind them. My adoption fee is $75 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.  If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/. ##2117555##

Age: 5 months old Gender: Female Breed: DSH Grey and White Weight: 5 lbs Personality: Pulled from Euth list from Riverside County shelter, with 4 other littermates. Confident and curious girl, always willing to explore and say hello to strangers and pups. She is dog and kid friendly, and very tolerant! She enjoys playing with toys but can also play with toys in her own. She’s the first to climb on cat tree and uses the scratch pad. Education: Litter Box Trained Favorite Activities: Her favorite thing is to perch on a shoulder- she hangs out while I do things around the house. She also loves a nice soft lap when sitting on the couch. She enjoys playing with toys and climbing the cat tree. Looking for: Very flexible girl and will do well in any type of home. She’s a confident girl that isn’t afraid of much- she loves to interact with people, but can also do well and entertain herself. She would really thrive in a wide range of homes. Adoption Fee: $ 200 ##2169699##

Stormi is a very special girl. She is beautiful, smart, loving, confident, and head strong. She loves being around people and lounging around the house with you. On a lazy day you will find her curled up on your lap or passed out on her cat tree. She can also be a little temperamental and would do best with someone who understands cat body language and can respect her boundaries. We would be happy to discuss this with you in detail but an experienced cat owner would be best for this girl. When Stormi's body language and cues are observed and respected she does very well and can be a great companion. She tends to be happiest in larger spaces so she can retreat to her own area when she's feeling overstimulated. She would also benefit from some outdoor access (if this can be done in a safe way). This special girl has been through a lot and deserves a chance at a forever home. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more about her.

Loveable Orange is 5 years old and looking for love. He has a lot of conditions for his care so the chance of finding him the right home is slim, but we have to try. He is just too sweet to be living in a cage. He deserves to be a housecat. We will be lucky if we can just find a homeowner who lives nearby and isn't going to panic if cat urine happens outside the box. Cat spraying is something that can be resolved with patience. That said, frequent vet visits may be required to rule out health issues with any cat who urinates outside the box. It's more work, but we can promise you Orange is worth it. He's exceptionally loving. Orange had been a gentle roommate to our 20-year-old resident cats but had to move into a cage because he started spraying when some of the younger cats picked on him. He's content to spend most of the day and night in a cage, but we don't like to see him living his life in there and not getting the pets and lap-time he deserves. [UPDATE: he's getting out of the cage more often and enjoying the "first shift" and "last shift" in the big yard with his best feline friend, Boots. His situation is no longer desperate. He could live out the rest of his life here and be happy. We still want to consider a better situation, but he's got a pretty good life now and he and Boots are so bonded, we'd hate to separate them.] We named this cutie "Orange Chicken", because he isn't very brave. He runs from confrontation and cries like he's being murdered at the slightest threat of aggression. Because he's so confrontation-averse, we have to force him to go out in the yard to stretch his legs and we have to remove most of the other cats. Thankfully he has a few feline friends he isn't afraid of and he likes the dogs. Did we mention he's a BIG chicken? At 14lbs, he could stand to be more bold, but it isn't his nature. He is a gentle soul. Orange likes the company of gentle cats but that doesn't mean he won't spray around them. He will not like losing his home and his friendships with the dogs and passive cats he's grown to love only to find himself in a situation where he still feels threatened by other cats. We won't do that to him. He will have to decide if a new home is the right home for him and we have to know he will be returned to us if he exhibits stressed out behavior. Orange loves adult people. If we look at him, he start purring loudly in anticipation of pets. While he loves being around people, he's afraid of kids and loud people/noises. Requirements for his health: 3 Luckydog-approved raw meals per day detoxification supplements added to each meal raw meaty bones (fed with supervision 3-7 times/wk) to keep his teeth clean lots of love very clean house with no clutter (pee is hard to find and clean when there is clutter) fragrance-free environment (any chemicals like bleach should also be avoided) daily brushing Special care at meal times. We think he has megaesophagus, but he's been doing well with treatment. He got very sick after being vaccinated, so he cannot be vaccinated again. He will have to remain on our immune-supportive diet and supplements to help ensure a healthy life without further vaccination. Because his health is at risk, he will be placed as a long-term foster or co-owned kitty so we can be sure his health insurance remains in effect and he gets the care he needs for life. We need to run this by his insurance to make sure we do everything by the book since he has existing conditoins which woulld not be covered by a new policy. If you were planning to raise a cat holistically, and you already live fragrance-free, you would likely be able to add him to your life without much trouble. We realize meeting his conditions is a lot to ask of any adopter so he will likely be with us for life. We just want to put it out there in case the perfect situation arises and it makes sense to move him. We know it is a long shot but we wanted to give Orange a chance to have more attention. Thanks for rescuing!

Dumpling is a 4 month old old brown tabby! She was being fostered by a kind man that was helping the litter gain confidence. Unfortunately the foster was facing health issues and needed help finding placement. Dumpling loves Churu snacks and playing with toys. You can catch her walking around the lounge, finding her next play buddy! September 10, 2024, 12:17 am

Sage is a 3-year-old cutie who was originally rescued from Tijuana. He was brought across the border by our rescue partner, who fostered him for several weeks. Sage was adopted as a kitten but was returned to us through no fault of his own and is now fully vetted and ready to find his forever home. He's a big boy who loves to play and is full of energy. Come meet this lovable and playful companion at the lounge! Sage needs to be the only kitty in the house so he can soak up all your love :)December 29, 2024, 8:52 pm

Apricot is an 8 year old orange tabby from Hawaii! She was sadly locked in a dog cage inside of a shelter with very little sunlight and no hope for our adoption. Our incredible veterinarian brought her to San Diego and has been fostering her! Apricot is a special girl and needs a very special home. For one, she has no teeth. She had lived with very painful stomatitis her whole life until our veterinarian removed her teeth. We believe that this chronic pain is a large reason why she can be shy, prefers to be the only animal in the cat, and can get overstimulated very quickly. Apricot randomly will smack you - she'll lure you in with cute little meows and then pow! You just got punched. She needs someone that will work with her, understand that this behavior is fear based, and that she deserves a patient home rather than being euthanized. She is current on all of her medical needs and is healthy. She will remain in foster care given she wants to be a single cat, but we are more than happy to coordinate meet and greets!November 5, 2024, 8:32 pm

Pound Cake came to us in her mamma's belly! Mamma Cake came in with her mom who was abandoned by her owners when they moved a few months ago. Thankfully their neighbors took notice and started feeding her. They reached out to us for help and we were planning on taking her in, then surprise! She gave birth to her litter on April 28, 2024. The entire litter is full of life and spunk! Mama and three of her babies, have graduated to the lounge and can often be found snuggling together in a dog bed or cat tree. They LOVE to play! They chase each other, play with the broom when you're trying to clean, and will make anything a toy if possible. They should be in a home that can keep up with their rambunctious energy!December 5, 2024, 8:26 pm

Belinda is a very sweet, misunderstood biscuit-making lover who is easily spooked by loud noises (then comes immediately back). She can be very timid with people, but once she knows you, she warms up! Belinda has had all of her teeth removed due to stomatitis, but still eats everything put in front of her, hard or soft. She loves food, and snuggling with other cats! She is very sleek with gorgeous fur and markings. She has the absolute tiniest meow but she’s very vocal! She likes to tell you all her thoughts. Once Belinda knows you, she absolutely loves pets and will do the “elevator butt” instantly! She will roll around to get more pets. Her favorite thing is to perch up on high places - she loves shelves or bookcases so she can watch over everything going on! She gets along easily with other cats even if they get in her space or are a little rambunctious. She’s incredibly low maintenance! Belinda prefers not to be picked up and would probably do best in a calm household without loud noises or a lot of commotion and probably best without small children. Belinda is such a lover that deserves a warm, caring home to call her own.
