Story
Sammy is a very sweet boy.. He loves to hang out with you and fall asleep on, or near you. He is a cuddle bug 🥰 He loves to sit on the patio on nice days.. he never runs off) he’s been around dogs most of his life and even other cats from time to time.. he does well with both. He would make a great emotional support animal. Preferably someone older or a couple without kids or a single person. My husband and I will be going over the road truck driving so we cant keep him. We’re praying for a comfortable new home for him.

Story
I am looking for a new, loving, forever home for my sweet boy Rusty Roo. Due to my recent divorce and much smaller living space, he has become very unhappy lately. Going from a 2700 sf, two story home to a mobile home just isn’t working for him, understandably. Since park rules here at the mobile home park only allow two cats I have to rehome him or move. He was used to running up and down the stairs and playing with his siblings in his old place. Especially with 3 other kitties here. It is truly heartbreaking to have to do this but it just is not fair to him. Rusty is a little over 3 years old, microchipped, neutered and vaccinated. He is an absolute lover, he will tell you when he wants pets with his tiny, soft voice. He is social (loves to meet new people and other cats), and looooves to play. He has been around my old neighbors kids and their small dog and was fine with them. Please help me find Rusty the loving home he deserves.

Felix is curious, playful and so cuddly. He loves to play with his brother/litter mate Mitsu, older cats, any humans and his toys. Felix is very good at climbing and likes to look out the windows so a cat climber would be so fun for him. Felix is a great eater and sleeper! He's on a great schedule waking up at 6 am and gets all tucked in at night in his bed about 10 pm. He loves to have his fur brushed and will sleep through the night! He's such a sweet boy and will make you smile! Primary Color: Gray Secondary Color: White Age: 0yrs 10mths 1wks

Story
Colonel Mustard came to us from a troubled background where he didn't know from day to day where his next meal would come from. But after lots of patience, medicine, and love, he has blossomed into a beautiful boy who's just waiting for your pets and scratches. Colonel Mustard will continue to need your patience while he explores new surroundings, but we can guarantee, with time and reassurance he turns into a 100% lovebug. He's still learning that his life is going to be full of wonderful toys and attention, and he's looking for someone who will shower him with all of the good things. The Colonel would do well in any home with a cat or dog companion to snuggle with. Help us prove to this sweet boy that it's a beautiful world out there by giving him a forever home!

Story
Peggy is a funny, tripod girl who loves to talk to you with the cutest little chirps and squeaks. Even with just three legs, she gets the zoomies and runs super fast around the house. Our little speedster Peggy was born into a bad situation, and she spent the first half of her life with very, very little human attention, as well one deformed back leg. She's all fixed up now and she's learned two important lessons: she's much better off with just three legs, and humans are AWESOME. Peggy has a resilient spirit, a zest for life, a strong voice, and no fear. Help us make the rest of Peggy's life as amazing as she is by giving her a loving home!

How this pet arrived: Excelsior was brought in by his previous owner on September 28, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:Introducing Excelsior, a gentle soul looking for a patient and loving home. This shy kitty is still adjusting to human companionship, having spent most of his life surrounded by other cats. Excelsior thrives on the bond built through treats, toys, and playtime, so he'll appreciate your efforts to connect over fun activities. It's important not to force interactions; instead, let him come to you at his own pace. With a little time and understanding, you can build a strong, special bond as you earn his trust. Excelsior will need to go to a home with an established, social cat to help him navigate his new environment or be adopted alongside one of his current roommates. If you're ready to provide a safe space for this sweet boy to flourish, Excelsior is waiting to start his next chapter with you! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home!Shy/Fearful Cat:  This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.

How this pet arrived: Mr. Bluebell was brought in by his previous owner on August 25, 2024.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Mr. Bluebell, a sweet and timid soul in search of patience and understanding. This fearful feline will need extra time to adjust, so an extended introduction period is essential in helping him feel safe. Mr. Bluebell would benefit from having another cat at home for social support, as he's used to living with multiple feline friends. He would love to have plenty of safe hiding spots and high perches where he can observe his surroundings. Mr. Bluebell's new family should allow him to come out of his shell at his own pace and avoid forcing interactions. Due to his sensitive nature, he'll likely do best in a home without young children or dogs. If you're ready to welcome this sweet boy into your home, come by our Oceanside Campus and adopt him today! Don't forget to bring a secure cat carrier for a safe transport home.Shy/Fearful Cat:  Mr. Bluebell requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about him.

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 basically means that even though she loves attention, she can be easily 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! 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.

How this pet arrived: Zephyr was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on October 15, 2024.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Zephyr! Zephyr arrived with several of his cat friends and is required to have another cat-social feline in his new home.

He's not a fan of force handling-he's more into the art of coaxing with toys and tasty morsels.
