Story
Minnie and her brother Sonny are a sweet, friendly, gentle pair of kitties! They are very easy going and affectionate, especially Sonny. They are OK with other friendly cats, but would be just as happy as the only felines in the house. They haven't been around kids but would probably be OK with gentle, well mannered children. They are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. Minnie and Sonny will be available for adoption this Saturday (12/16) at Kahoots in Temecula from 10am to 2pm.

Story
Mama cat aka DeMommy is a sweet, quiet, "chunky monkey". She is a bit shy at first but warms up once she gets to know you. She loves pets on the head and scritches right above her tail. She is okay with other mellow cats and would probably do best in a relaxed household. If you are interested in this darling girl please contact fosterhueysrescue@gmail.com

Story
Toby Wan Kenobi is a sweet and friendly little guy who is looking for a patient and loving home. He's a handsome boy with an interesting face and the cutest little chirpy meow! He's a playful lovebug who loves head scratches and giving head butts in return. While he is very friendly and comfortable meeting new people, he takes some time to adjust to new spaces. He would do well to have a smaller space at first while he adjusts to his new home, and it might take him some time to be comfortable enough to venture out into the house. Toby has some anxious tendencies and has a history of pulling out his fur or over-grooming as a form of self soothing. His anxiety is currently being managed with a medication that is easily administered by rubbing onto his inner ear once a day. Due to his anxious nature, he would do best in a calm and quiet home without young children. He used to have a sister who he was bonded with, so he may do well with other cats but would prefer a home without other pets. Toby would love a family that is committed to giving him time and space to get comfortable in his new home, and to make him feel safe and loved. Please consider giving this sweet boy the loving forever home that he deserves! Toby is currently in foster care and is available for adoption through individual meet and greets. For more information, please contact us at fosterhueysrescue@gmail.com.

Story
Penelope is 7 years old, we found her and her brother as kittens abandoned by their mom. We handraised them both and love them dearly. She is a very loving cat that loves to cuddle and has never scratched or bitten us. Although we hate to part with her, we recently moved to an area with feral cats and had a baby, which has been too much for Penelope. She is stressed out and acting out by going outside of her litterbox. We have tried to the best of our abilities to help her including going to the vet but it has been a year and we have reached our limits. As much as it breaks our hearts to have to give her up we have to put our child's health first. We are hoping to find another loving family who can provide a stable and calm environment for her to thrive.

We have been caring for White Paws for about 3 months since she and her litter were abandoned by neighbors. She is very affectionate and friendly. She has a mellow personality, yet is very playful (loves her toy mouse!) and gets along well with everyone. She is about 8 months old. We already have two cats and cannot keep her, she would make a wonderful addition to your family!

Story
Cheeto and her sister Cookie and strays who were abandoned by their mother when they were just new borns. A good friend at the time rescued them from a job site and had them until they were able to come home with us. We have enjoyed, cherished and loved them since. They are both very shy, quite and skittish. They are sweet gentle girls and need a quiet home or space of their own I can’t offer anymore. Only one person, or a quieter, gentle family will be better, as though they do eventually warm up to people, it takes them time. They loved keeping to themselves in the quieter sections of the house They also need to stay together.
