PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email. It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life. The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! Rescue mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. ODIE and his siblings (GARFILED and JINX) were part of a TNR project in El Monte, California. They TNRed all the adults and reached put to us to help with the kittens. So we named them after the GARFIELD movie. Meet ODIE, a playful gray tabby from a cozy spot where he’s known for his non-stop antics and sweet nature! This curious little fellow is always on the move, whether he's chasing a broom around the house or pouncing on his favorite toys with endless energy. If there’s something to play with, you can bet ODIE is right there, ready to pounce, bat, or chase it down with full kitten enthusiasm. One thing ODIE really loves? Treats! He’s quick to show his appreciation when something tasty comes his way, often giving little excited hops that show off his playful side. But it’s not all about playtime for ODIE—he’s also a huge love bug. He adores receiving pets and will curl up in your lap whenever you settle in for some snuggle time. If you’re in need of a cuddle partner, ODIE is your guy, always ready to soak up the affection and shower you with purring appreciation. ODIE gets along famously with his siblings, and he’s always up for some fun play sessions, whether it’s tag or a game of hide-and-seek around the house. His easygoing, affectionate nature makes him a perfect companion for another playful cat or someone looking for a little extra love in their life. ODIE is at the perfect age to be a lively, fun addition to a new family. His playful spirit and loving personality would thrive in a home where he’s given lots of attention, playtime, and the occasional treat or two. He’ll quickly become the heart of the household with his fun quirks and cuddly demeanor! Do you have room in your heart for a playful little love bug like ODIE? Apply at Workinwhiskers.com to learn more about bringing this charming tabby into your family today! ODIE is a DOMESTICATED SHORT HAIR / TABBY. He is about 10 months old and is good with cats.

Story
Hailey and her sister Bailey were born and survived homelessness at the Colma Dump in San Mateo County. Rescued by HCN volunteers, these resilient sisters have come a long way and are now looking for a loving forever home where they can stay together. Hailey likes to spend time on top if a tall cat tree or looking out the window watching things only cats seem to see. Her favorite activities include chasing wand toys, leaping to catch things mid-air, and enjoying the automatic whirly toy with a wand attached. Don’t let her petite size fool you—Hailey has a big personality! She’s athletic, and speedy. While she may be a bit skittish at first, Hailey warms up quickly. She comes as part of a bonded pair with her sister, Bailey, so you’ll get double the love! Apply to adopt Hailey (and Bailey!) today to give these sisters the forever home they deserve.

Story
He's fearless! Frankie is a cuddler and a snuggle-bug who loves to be the number one cat in the family. He demands your full attention and will hop aboard a shoulder for a ride to the next destination in the household. He would purrfurr to be an only cat as a great companion for a family without other pets or young children. Once he feels safe and at home, he will find a chest to nap on and push himself into his person and close his eyes for a long nap. He will stay there for hours unless awakened by the sound of birds, food or plastic, which is also a favorite to chew on so he needs a little supervision in that department. Please provide him plenty of moving string and fluffy balls to pounce and play with because those are his favorites. He can be entertained for hours with a string on a stick that moves like snake in the grass or a bug in the air. He loves his stuffed toys, kickers, play mat and springs and can entertain himself as well as be entertained. NOTE: Frankie has a condition called hyperesthesia and is on Rx once a day for aggression. He was adopted into a very-loving multi-cat household, but he became over-stimulated and unpredictively aggressive. However, now back with our rescue and on the medication, he has shown absolutely no signs of aggression, even among the other cats. ​ ​ From Frankie’s previous adopter: "Indeed he is a great cat and we have fallen in love with him. There is no better feeling than when he presses his body into my chest or my belly and snuggles up. Or purrs when he gets petted. Or gleefully plays with his favorite pink string and catnip toys. Born 2016. More pictures on our website. Submit application on our website at www.lifelineforpets.org.

Story
Snickers is a shy girl with a curious streak & she might hesitate at first, but she is always watching and learning. Once she trusts you, she leans into pets and purrs like crazy. She's great with other cats but hasn't met dogs yet. After a few minutes of snuggles she is a loving and loyal little girl. -- There are a lot of feral cats in our area, but Snickers stood out to me. I’ve had her since October. She’s come a long way in that time, learning to enjoy affection and indoor life. Now, I’d love to find someone who will appreciate her sweet, thoughtful personality as much as I do. -- Another cute fact is that her meow is very unique and deep, its funny to hear that sound come out of such a tiny baby. Thank you for your interest, I'm sure someone out there will love her as much as she deserves!
