1 year old tabby brothers. Taken in when very scared 2 month olds. They have made a lot of progress and purr readily and enjoy being picked up and pet - but will still take some time to acclimate to a new home. Grant (solid tabby) is definitely more confident and snuggly than Gabriel). Great with other cats; best to not adopt together as they are more social when paired off with more confident kittens.
Mufasa - 2 year old tabby boy - father of Simba (see kittens)
Mufasa and Simba were strays taken in and fed by a nice but financially challenged and overwhelmed lady in Lake County. They came to us to be fixed and try to find real homes and families. Mufasa was intact until he came to us in September and still has the very muscled body of a tomcat (he is neutered now). He's shy initially but after 2 weeks of patience, he became a sweet and affectionate boy.
We suspect he's father to Simba and another litter of tabby boys and has been paired off with Simba. They get along well together but don't have to be adopted as a pair.

Gabriel and Grant - 1 year old boys
raphie - 10 yr Maine coon like boy
watson - 1 yr tuxedo boy
Watson is a shy 1 year old black kitten with a small knot of white at his throat. He came to us as a scared/semi-feral 3 month old. He's made a lot of progress and readily responds to attention but will still need a quiet and patient home to help him fully adapt.
Iris - 2 year old Long Haired Pastel Torti
|
Iris was taken in as a skinny cat from a colony and is hoping for a loving home for the first time in her life.
She was pretty shy when she came to us in later 2017 but still purred readily when given attention. Now, in her foster home, she's a super snuggly lap cat who loves attention. She tolerates other cats as long as they give her a little personal space - and tolerates the dogs if they give her some space, but swats them in the face if they try to get too close and cuddly. So - she'd tolerate canine and feline companions but would also be completely happy as an only child. She's bound to take a few weeks to settle in to a new home, but she's a great cat once acclimated and absolutely loves her lap time. |
Marmelade 1 - 1 1/2 yr

|
started off as a stray. Still a little shy but wants to be a family member.

Rapunzel - 4 year Siamese Mix
|
Rapunzel is a 4 year old long haired snow shoe Siamese mix. She initially came to us as a mother with kittens from a high kill shelter. After her kittens were adopted, she was adopted but returned a year later.
She is a sweet cat - but has issues. She doesn't like other cats - she's learning to reluctantly tolerate them, but would be much happier as an only cat. (Dogs are also disliked but really less of an issue). She's very allergic to fleas and if she is exposed to even an occasional flea, she starts scratching and creating wounds along the back of her head. And, she loves attention - but she's one of those girls who only tolerates so much petting without being overstimulated and trying (fairly politely) to bite. She's ideally looking for a home without young children and without other cats with patient and understanding owners who will be able to love her for who she is. She is a special and loving girl - and quite beautiful - she just takes some special understanding. |

Phoebe - 1 year old tuxedo girl
|
|
Phoebe was adopted as a kitten last year locally then recently ended up homeless in a shelter in Yuba County. We're not sure what went wrong as adopters never responded to inquiries - so she got bailed out of the shelter and is trying again. She’s very affectionate, fairly confident, active, and cuddly. She wants to be include in what is going on and will demand attention - not a passive, wallflower cat at all - but a great companion. This time she’s really hoping for a forever family!
|
Vanilla - 4 year old lynx pt Siamese mix
|
Not unlike Phoebe, Vanilla was adopted from us as a kitten and then was turned into a shelter by the adoptor 3 years later - we do not know why. She's a very sweet girl - social, affectionate, pretty. She's mildly worried with other cats but would probably do ok with cats that respected her personal space. She loves attention. Please help her find a real forever home this time.

Megan - 2 year old Calico
Megan's mother was returning in the middle of the night from a visit to her mother in southern California and met Megan and her brother outside a McDonalds in the middle of nowhere along the 5 Freeway at 2 am. The boy came up to her but wounldn't be caught, so she reluctantly left them behind but kept worrying about them. Finally, almost 2 months later - a rescue group in Los Banos was kind enough to go down (1 hr south) and trap them and she met them to pick them up.
Megan's brother was more confident and got adopted already and is doing amazingly well. Megan is still waiting. She was pretty scared when she first came to us and has made a lot of progress. She now enjoys being pet but still hasn't gained the confidence to seek out attention. She does very well with other cats and tolerates the dogs pretty comfortably.
She will need some time and patience to help her fully settle in to a life of comfort and care and domesticity but has the potential to make a great companion with the right family.

3 legged grey tabby girl - 2 years
Giselle - 3 legged calico girl - 1 year old
Giselle is a 1 year old calico who started off as a stray in a tiny area off Hwy 5 hours south of here. She then suffered an injury to a front leg and survived limping around on 3 legs for 2-3 months, mostly eating leftovers from McDonalds where kindly employees felt bad for her. She was finally taken in by rescue group in May. She had been a mother already and has been caring for 2 orphaned kittens since coming to us so she's very sweet and patient with other cats. She is now spayed and the injury to her front leg was too severe and too old to be repaired so her leg had to be amputated. But, she gets along great on 3 legs.
She is great with other cats and comfortable with the resident dogs. She was very shy with people but has made tremendous progress lately and is turning into a happy lap cat. She will need some time to settle in to a new family but is turning into a fabulous cat.

Winston 1 year Siamese/tabby mix
snickerdoodle - 3 yr lynx pt Siamese mix boy
Vincent - 2 year old Black and White Boy
|
Taken in with 3 other stray kittens when 4 months old. The most outgoing of the group was adopted and 2 more more skittish siblings were turned into barn cats. Vincent has turned into an affectionate boy who enjoys being pet and getting attention - but is still easily scared. He will need a quiet home and some patience but he really wants to be a loving companion. He does well with other cats.

Helen - 2 year old Grey and White Girl
|
Helen came to us as a skinny and scared 2 month old. She is now healthy and a little pudgy. She's still shy but has made enormous progress. She purrs readily when pet and when picked up and cuddled and will creep up to rub against legs and quietly ask for attention. Finally, a few times a week she will creep up and join her foster mother on the couch - and there become a very demandingly affectionate snuggler. She will need a relatively quiet home and patient parents to help her settle in, feel comfortable and confident, and become the affectionate child she wants to be - but she really wants to be a super cuddly child - she just lacks confidence.

Merlin - 2 yr classic brown tabby boy
|
Merlin and his brother came to us as newborns and were bottle-fed. Merlin is a petite boy and much smaller than his brother but is otherwise a healthy boy. He's social and playful and happy. He's still squirmy about being held and cuddled - but has been getting much better about this more time and cuddling. He gets along great with other cats and is fairly comfortable with dogs.

Clarabelle - 5 Yr F Grey Tabby
Mirabelle and Clarabelle are grey tabby sisters about 3 years old now.
Their mother was a stray and was found when very pregnant and taken in by her foster mother. A few days later, she gave birth to 3 grey tabby girls. The mother and 1 daughter were adopted the first year. Clarabelle and Mirabelle are still waiting.
They are both very sweet, affectionate, playful, and cuddly, although Clarabelle is much more of a lap cat than Mirabelle. Both are shy with strangers though and will need a relatively quiet home and a patient family that will give them a month or two to settle in and feel themselves.
They are not bonded and tend to cuddle and play with other cats rather than each other, so really are fine being adopted separately.

Pegasus - 6 Yr Abbysinian-Like M
Pegasus started off as a litter of 5 unwanted, stray kittens in San Jose and were taken in by purrfect pals to find them homes and happy futures. 3 were adopted as kittens, Hyacinth adopted in 2014 - Pegasus alone is still waiting.
Pegasus has a pretty ticked brown tabby coat resembling an abbysinian - but probably does not actually have any Abby in him.
He is shy with strangers and will need some time to acclimate to a new home, but when he's comfortable, he's a very affectionate, snuggly, and cuddly boy.

Astrid - 6 Yr DSH Tabby and White F
Very special white cat with tabby patches - came to us as a kitten and somehow just never got adopted. Loves attention and enjoys time with her foster mother in bed at night - but is very shy with strangers and will time to really settle in and feel comfortable in a new home. Great with other cats and comfortable with the resident dog.
Astrid has gotten quite fat and her ideal home is one where her meals can be carefully measured out so some weight loss can be achieved - unfortunately this just isn't doable in her current foster home.

Shannon - 6 yr Russian Blue-Like F
Shannon is a sweet but very shy short haired grey girl - about 4 years old now. She was born as an unwanted stray in a trailer park and was trapped when 7 weeks old. Hoping to secure her a better future, she was taken in by a foster home and taught to trust and love people. She did learn to bond, but remained dominated by the resident older cat and thus lived mostly in the bathroom to avoid him. After 2 years of trying to find a home unsuccessfully, her foster home could no longer keep her, so she moved to a new foster home.
She was terrified initially but after a few months in a small room with several other very cat social cats she settled in and now quietly seeks attention when her foster mother goes in to see her. She is a sweet girl and wants to be loved, but has very little confidence. She's looking for a quiet home and an understanding family that can help her grow and blossom - but who won't expect too much from her too fast. She does great with very cat
social cats, but dominant, more bullying cats terrify her.

Mistletoe - 5 yr DLH Blk/Wht M

Jasper - 7 Yr Classic Tabby M
5 year old classic tabby boy - waiting for a home since he was a kitten. Shy and will need an understanding owner to help him settle in but affectionate once settled in and comfortable. Great with other cats.
