Story

Birthday: August 25, 2023 Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Domestic Shorthair Fee: $150. She comes vet checked, spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and negative for FIV/FELV! Traits: Good with other cats, unknown with kids and dogs About Me : Zelda and 15 other cats were dropped off at an animal hospital on a cold and rainy night. We don’t know anything about her previous life, but we do know she is safe and happy now. Zelda was scared at first, but quickly warmed up to people once she felt safe. One of our volunteers worked with her and was able to help her come out of her shell! Now she is happy to see everyone she meets and will happily accept cuddles and pets. She loves wet food and spending time with her siblings Sonic, Knuckles, and Link. She loves to be brushed and get chin scratches. Zelda would do best in a home with someone who is willing to work with her while she adjusts to her new home. She would do best being adopted with one of the kitties she was brought in with, or to a home that already has a friendly cat at home. Zelda is currently being housed at Best Pets in Antioch.

Birthday: August 25, 2023 Sex: Neutered Male Breed: Domestic Shorthair Traits: Good with other cats, older kids (unknown with dogs) Fee: $50 for just him. He comes vet checked, neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, negative for FIV/FELV and dewormed! About Me : Sonic and 15 other cats were dropped off at Lakes Animal Clinic in Antioch on a cold and rainy night. We don’t know anything about his previous life, but we do know that he is happy and safe now. After being abandoned, Sonic was slow to adjust to his new environment, but after love and treats, he is very loving and asks for attention! Sonic is still young and very playful! Sonic absolutely loves to play with string toys and catnip while interacting with his favorite human! He needs to go to a home that will continue to work with him so he thrives! His adoption fee has been lowered to help find him a home that is willing to take the time to continue to work with him, and let him know everything is okay.

Story

Birthday: 4/15/24 Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Domestic Shorthair Traits: Good with other cats, unknown with dogs Fee: $200, or $300 for 2 kittens. Our kittens come vet checked, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and preventative treatment for fleas/ticks/worms. About Me: One of the volunteers of the rescue had a friend with a mom and kittens at a farm. That's how Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles came to us and these spunky girls are confident and adventurous kittens. Buttercup is a loyal and silly kitten who loves hanging out with her siblings! She is super playful, but out of her litter, she is probably the biggest sweetheart. She absolutely loves attention and to be cuddled. Once playtime is over, she is always the one who wants to be held. We have not had her around any dogs, but we think she would do okay with a proper introduction.

Birthday: 4/15/24 Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Domestic Shorthair Traits: Good with other cats, unknown with dogs Fee: $200, or $250 for 2 kittens. Our kittens come vet checked, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and preventative treatment for fleas/ticks/worms. About Me: One of the volunteers of the rescue had a friend with a mom and kittens at a farm. That's how Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles came to us and these spunky girls are confident and adventurous kittens. Blossom is the largest of her sisters, she is shy at first, but once she feels safe, she is very sweet, laid back and gentle. She is the most independent of her litter and will go hang out by herself, with people or other cats. Once she is used to you, she turns into a limp noodle when you pick her up. We have not had her around any dogs, but think that she would do okay with a proper introduction. If you are interested in adopting, please visit linktr.ee/guttercatadoptions to find our application.

When you first pet this silly girl, she thinks she will not like it, and then after just a moment, she realizes she likes it and wants more. After a few pets, she will start purring. She absolutely loves to run around and play with her siblings. When she is tired, she will happily hang out and take a nap with you or the older cats in the house. We are unsure how she would do with dogs, but we think with a proper introduction, she would be okay.

Birthday: 5/17/24 Sex: Neutered Male Breed: Domestic Shorthair Traits: Good with other cats, kids (unknown with dogs) Fee: $200, or $300 for 2 kittens. Our kittens come vet checked, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and preventative treatment for fleas/ticks/worms. About Me: Someone in Antioch reached out about a mom cat that was living underneath their house in the crawlspace with 7 kittens. Eventually we were able to catch all 7 siblings and mom! Tiger is very outgoing and playful. He loves playing with fake mice and puff ball toys. He is a confident and determined kitten who loves to play but also loves attention and cuddling with his people. He will be a devoted friend in his forever home. We have not had any dogs around Cubby, but we think she would do ok with a slow and proper introduction. Please note that all of our kittens under 6 months of age must be adopted as pairs or go to a home with a young cat/kitten already.

Story

*I'm part of the Home for the Holidays promotion beginning November 11. Check our the Adoption Procedure & Fees page to learn more!* I came in as a stray cat and it’s been a scary last few months. Don’t misunderstand me, though; I may hiss, but as soon as you start petting me, especially little scratches around my neck and behind my ears, I start relaxing and purring a bit. It’s just that finding myself here, I wasn’t quite sure what to do at first. I do seem fine with cats. I am a sweet and gentle, petite girl that hopes my stay here will be a short one; all I need is for someone to ask about me.

Story

I was originally picked up as a stray and while my rescuers looked around to try to track down my family, unsuccessfully. They said that once I was settled, I was very sweet, very vocal and could easily be trained with treats. I enjoy bird watching, playing, riding on people’s shoulder and of course relaxing in your lap. I’m even quite handsome I’m told, and can be very fashionable. So if you enjoy taking pictures of a guy always ready to purr, maybe you will let me be your model…and your only cat. I am available for permanent foster, which means you could take me home so we can share all the love and Save-A-Pet will cover my vet care for the rest of my life!

*I'm part of the Home for the Holidays promotion beginning November 11. Check our the Adoption Procedure & Fees page to learn more!* When things quiet down is when you generally get to see me. I enjoy watching the birds or just even daydreaming in the sun. Lounging by myself is no fun so I always make sure to find a couple of other cats to snuggle up for my nap. I love chasing toy mice around the room, especially if no one is looking. I do enjoy getting my head and chin rubbed, there is a special trick and you will have to ask them, then I may even relax and lay down and allow petting on my back. If your cat is looking for a friend, I am ready.

Story

Stinky (born in 2012) is a spayed female brown tabby shorthaired cat. Stinky was trapped and spayed as an older kitten and returned to her colony. Unfortunately a few years later she was struck by a car and although she was lucky enough to survive, she did suffer several fractures in her lower spine. The spine injuries left her unable to control when she urinates or defecates but her caretaker had developed a bond with her and chose to continue caring for her until sadly he passed away in late 2016. She needs to be on stool softener twice a day to keep her system moving without conscious muscle control but thankfully she happily eats them on her own mixed in with a little wet food. She will need to be on those meds the rest of her life and obviously she requires more clean up than a normal cat and needs to be kept in a small, easy to clean area like a large dog crate, bathroom or spare bedroom with smooth flooring most of the time. Because of her outdoor kittenhood Stinky can be a little slow to warm up to new people but once she gets used to someone as one of her caretakers she loves to be petted and acts a lot more friendly. She has done well with the toddler in her foster home but because of her spinal cord damage we think Stinky needs to avoid excessive stress and would do best in a quieter home with no dogs or where she could be kept separately.

Story

Daisy (about 7 years old as of April, 2023) is a female black and white shorthaired cat. Daisy was born to a feral mother cat who had literally been dumping her kittens at one of our caretakers' house for years. They finally caught her but she was about to give birth, so these lucky kittens have been inside their whole lives. Daisy is a very vocal kitty who likes to meow about things as she goes through her day and will sometimes call out to figure out where people are if she wanders off alone expecting someone to call back to her or come find her. That sounds awfully needy but she is actually the most independent kitty from her litter. She is sweet and affectionate but doesn't want to cuddle until she is done playing and doesn't feel the need to be on top of someone smothering them every time she gets a few pets. That said, when she is in full cuddle mode she loves serious, firm pets so strong they pull the skin around her eyes back and exaggerate her already naturally silly long skinny face. She is very energetic and alert which can make her seem jumpy or skittish, but it's really just her goofy, playful nature showing. She does well with older kids and mostly gets along okay with most of the other cats in her foster home, but has had conflicts with a few of them and mostly keeps to herself so she might prefer living with only the one cat she always gets along with- her sister Primrose. We're hoping we can find a family willing to take them both, as the last time we tried to separate them they both were miserable. She hasn't ever lived with a dog and with her more sensitive nature and at her age she would probably be overwhelmed
