Story
Momma Kitty was a neighborhood stray who had been abandoned by a previous owner. Current owner & neighbors all fed her. Current owner brought her inside when she noticed she was sick. Elderly owner now has dementia and has been hospitalized/assisted living care since Jan 2024. Current caretakers & vet have addressed all her major health issues BUT she is a special needs kitty because she has feline leukemia, so she can't be in a home with other cats. She has gone from 5 lbs in Jan to 11 lbs in Oct. She is not on any medications at this time. Is on Hills Prescription Digestive Care cat food. She may not need it any longer as she did have some other issues which are no longer present. There are 14 cats left behind in less than ideal conditions. We are working on rehoming the others, but Momma Kitty is the most loving of all the cats; she would rather petted than eat. She is a sweet talker & playful. Current caretaker has full power of attorney for adoption purposes

Story
I adopted Michelle from the Rancho Cucamonga Animal Shelter when she was 11 wks now 7 mos . She is a shy but very sweet girl. She was rescued from a sewer before being taken to the shelter, so she is a survivor. She likes to be loved on & being petted on her terms. If you approach her calmly she will let you pet her & she will purr; other times, if she feels nervous she'll leave. She is very clean & has great litter box habits. Michelle is calm and loves to sit by a window or snuggle up in a comfy cat bed or your bed. She will come and keep you company if you're relaxing, watching TV, or working. I think she just likes to feel in control of what is happening to her, being picked up makes her nervous and she simply tries to get down, so just follow her lead. She gets along with two other cats, but if they're playing she stays away. I think she will do well in a calm home as an only cat or with one other cat because of her reserved & nervous nature. She is bonded with John - also listed

Story
Leroy is a very sweet and loving cat with a lot of desire to play and be loved. He would do well with another cat or two for companionship. He gets along with dogs if they are friendly and calm. I don't know how he does with children. He prefers women over men as he had shown fear of men in the past. He comes with a lot of toys and accessories. Open adoption required with regular updates. I am willing to help you care for him.
