Victoria

Age: 2 months old
Gender: Female
Breed: Manx
Color: Tabby
​Purr-sonality: ​​Vicky was raised as a bottle baby so she views people as her source of food, love, and comfort. She is a little dynamo who loves to play. When play time has ended Vicky wants to snuggle. She sleeps in bed with her foster family and LOVES attention. Vicky is scheduled for her spay, 1st kitten shot, etc on 8/4/2021. After a few days recovery she will be available to go to her new home. Vicky can be met right now and pre-adopted as well. She is an INDOOR ONLY kitten.

Kay

Kia
Age: 4 months old
Gender: 1 Male, 1 Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Tabby & White
​Purr-sonality: ​
Kay is a sweet little fellow who loves his sister Kia and people. He is quite the kneader, purring away, and sometimes blanket-sucking if the fabric is fleecy. Kay is good-natured and enjoys playing with toys and hanging out with people. He and his sister Kia groom each other, sleep together, play together, and are truly bonded. We hope for someone to want them as a pair. You will notice in all of his photos his eyes are closed. That is because he is happily purring away in contentment.
Kia is a cute little tabby with golden ears who is both friendly and playful. She is bonded to her brother Kay and would love to find a home together with him. Kia is very close to the foster family kids and enjoys sleeping on their laps. She is also known for loving to be pushed around the house riding on a skateboard.

Ajax

Age: 7 years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Dilute Calico
​Purr-sonality: ​Ajax came to us after his pet mom passed away. She had adopted him as a kitten from the Humboldt County Animal Shelter and he lived with her as an indoor cat with no other pets. Ajax has the cutest markings, including a white tip on his tail, orange ears and a scarecrow nose. Although it was traumatic for him to leave the only home he has ever known, he is making a nice adjustment in his foster placement, Ajax is just the dearest boy. He is super affectionate and gives leg rubs, head bunts, and he stretches up to reach your hand. Ajax would be a wonderful pet for a single or couple. He has no experience with children. We will be updating his shots but he has been neutered and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. He is microchipped and registered. Ajax is litter box trained and prefers a covered litter box. He will be understandably nervous the first week or two in a new home, but he loves people and needs to be loved by them. Give him a few days to hide until he feels safe and then he will show what a love he is.

Buttermint

Honeypie
Age: 3 months old
Gender: 2 Females
Breed: Siamese
Color: White
​Purr-sonality: Buttermint and Honeypie are bonded sisters. They are somewhat fearful at first and until comfortable they will hiss. They LOVE kids and play endlessly with the foster family's daughter. They are learning how to walk on harness and it has been amusing. One day, one loves it and the next day, the other loves it. They will need an experienced adopter who knows how to be patient and build trust. 

Lexi

Age: 3 months old
Gender: Female
Breed: Abyssinian mix
Color: Brown Tabby
​Purr-sonality: This Abyssinian mix kitten has all the makings of the perfect on-leash adventure cat. She just turned 4 months old and is ready to begin leash and/or clicker training. She is VERY smart. Lexi is as agile as a cat n the savanna. She is an accomplished climber and jumper. she puts her whole heart into everything she does. Lexi has a sweet side too. She gives kisses and is very gentle when she grasps your hand to give head and face rubs. She does think humans are her personal tree and has been know to climb or jump to your shoulder. Lexi is very unique looking as her strikingly beautiful coat has a ticked pattern, meaning that each hair has alternating bands of light and dark colors. Although this ticked pattern is found on all Abys, the coat colors will vary. The most common Abyssinian cat colors include ruddy brown, red, blue, and fawn, but other possible colors include chocolate, lilac, and silver. The photos we have been able to get do not do her justice - she is always moving around so is difficult to capture. Lexi very much has the Aby temperament. Also known as the "Aby-silly-an" or the "clowns of the cat kingdom," these spunky felines are energetic and always up to something. They love to have the high ground, so don't be surprised if you find Lexi sitting on top of your refrigerator or some bookshelves—a tall cat tower is definitely a smart purchase. When they are not busy jumping on top of things, Abyssinians adore spending time with people and playing with mentally-stimulating games. Being intelligent cats, they enjoy learning new tricks, and many have even been taught how to walk on a leash. In fact, many Abyssinian parents describe these cats as dog-like. With a desire to please their parents and to spend as much time with them as possible, having an Aby around the house is almost like having a small, extremely agile dog. Abyssinians usually want the center stage, the middle ring, the spotlight on them, and they are not always willing to give up being the focus of attention. As recommended by some Aby parents, the best companion for an Aby is either another Aby or a dog. Lexi currently gets along most of the time with her littermates, but she has been known to basically tell them to "get lost" most convincingly. Her foster home did have two dogs and she interacted with them a lot. Lexi is NOT a purebred and does not have any papers. She is a mix of unknown quantity but once you meet her we think you will agree the Aby genes predominate.

Lolipop

Age: 3 months old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: Siamese & Orange/White
​Purr-sonality: ​Lollipop is a playful and sweet lovebug. She is curious as any kitten would be but she is very much interested in interacting with people. She just purrs away and gives little kisses. She enjoys hanging out with other kittens but loves to be people. She is a medium haired kitten which means she is slightly fluffy and has the cutest ear tufts. She must be INDOOR ONLY.

Luci

Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: Calico
​Purr-sonality: ​​Gorgeous Luci in her stunning tri-color fluffy coat is recovering from raising a litter of four kittens. She will be spayed 6/22 and complete her basic shots. She is already microchipped. Luci was adopted from a shelter as a kitten back in 2019 but her owners did not follow through to have her spayed and she ended up back at the shelter, pregnant. Her family did not come for her even though they were notified. Luci is a sweet girl who enjoys lots of attention from people. She is very chatty and still very playful. However, although Luci tolerates dogs she DOES NOT like other cats. Luci needs to be the only cat in the home where she can be the princess. School-aged children and older would enjoy Luci's antics and she would be sure to snuggle with them.
Luci is still young and very adaptable. She is a low maintenance girl who loves her kibble and will only eat canned chicken cat food occasionally.

Orlando (WORKING CAT)

Age: 3 year old
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: White & Tabby
​Purr-sonality: ​​WORKING CAT
Orlando is a sibling of Astra. Orlando is much further along the feral scale than Astra, although he does "chat" with his feeder at feeding time. Otherwise he avoids all human contact and hisses if someone comes too close. He is eager to escape the confines of the rescue and get outside. He is also an excellent hunter and climber. Orlando is utterly gorgeous with long fur and an incredibly bushy tail of gray and white - but - he is unable to ever be a pet and needs his freedom to live his life the way he was born - free. He and Astra could be adopted together. Although they are not really friends, they have been together since birth and tolerate each other.

Seneca (WORKING CAT)

Age: 1 year old
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: Tabby
​Purr-sonality: ​​WORKING CAT
This is Seneca. He is the most stoic cat I have ever come across. The only thing that fazes him are people. We were mislead about this owner surrender. Seneca is not a tame sociable cat. He is not mean in any way but he wants nothing to do with people, preferring to hide from them. Seneca gets along well with other cats and has buddied up with several. We have had him for about a hear and he has made no progress. He does try to bolt for open doors. Now that the weather is improving it is time to find him a safe place to live out his life the way he was born - free to come and go. He does need someone responsible to assure he has daily food and access to water at all times. He would make an excellent barn cat.

Lara

Age: 6-8 months old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: Grey/Blue/Silver & White
​Purr-sonality: ​​Lara's story is one of strife, hope, and recovery. One day Lara walked out of the forest near Miranda, CA. She was so emaciated she looked like she was about 20 years old. Her eyes were horribly infected, she was wheezing, and had green mucous oozing out of her nose. She was looking for help, desperate.
Miraculously she found a person who was related to one of our fosters, and we made arrangements to take her in. She was immediately taken to the vet for services, put on strong antibiotics and food supplements, had some wounds that needed tending, but no terrible diseases. Everything was treatable.
Lara has gained almost two pounds under our care and still needs to put on a little more weight but now she looks like a very slender kitten instead of an emaciated senior. She is going to be a pretty girl. Her energy has improved and she plays like she has never had the opportunity before. She is blossoming under the care of a loving foster but she is learning how to be a pet.
Lara may continue to need supplements for the rest of her life due to her chronic upper respiratory condition when found. Other than that she can live a completely normal life and should be kept indoors for her future. Why put someone out who has survived the harsh elements? We do have photos of her when she was rescued. She is very lucky she decided to seek help.

Arwen

Age: 2 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: Tuxedo
​Purr-sonality: ​​Arwen showed up one day at a little country store seeming to be hungry and lost. She was quite friendly with the store staff and they built her a little shelter behind the store, fed her, loved on her and kept her safe. She started going for evening walks with them and their dogs, seeming to be very comfortable with dogs and enjoying herself. eventually, as always happens, she started getting larger and larger. They had forgotten one very important thing - to get this kitty spayed. So, with kittens on the way they reached out for a rescue to take in the upcoming family.
Arwen's kittens were born 3/25/21 and she has been an excellent mother. They are all listed for pre-adoption as well. the whole family with be spayed and neutered on 6/22/21. What better gift could there be than to go to a furever home straight from the vet, to recover in a safe and loving place?
Arwen may need some time to get used to no more kittens hanging around so may take a couple of weeks to relax and warm up to a new home. She is very friendly though and wants to be part of everything. Being dog-friendly is a plus. She should be well-matched with school-aged kids and older.

Astra

Age: 2 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: White
​Purr-sonality: ​​Astra is the mother of Izzy. She was rescued near starvation from an abandoned home with approximately 20 other cats. Astra was pregnant at the time and ended up giving birth to another litter of kittens soon after rescue. Initially fearful and with no idea of what it was like to be a cozy secure housecat, Astra has slowly warmed up and turned into a cautious but nice kitty. She loves hanging out in the kitchen "helping" load the dishwasher and supervising the meal prep. Her nickname is "Beepers" because of her cute little noises. Like her daughter Izzy she does not meow. She loves spending time with her foster family who are all adults. She has no experience with children. There are other cats in the home and she has also slowly grown to be ok with them. However, Astra would adore being the one and only cat in someone's life. She is able to keep herself amused while the adults are working and enjoy time with them when they are home. She needs someone patient who will let her warm up slowly to her adopters. Once she does she will continue to bloom. She has no experience with dogs.

Hope

Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Color: Tuxedo
​Purr-sonality: ​​​Hope is a petite one year old (approx.) black and white kitty who had a rough start in life. She was brought into my vet heavily pregnant with no home to go to. She was semi feral and very hissy and afraid. The vet called me and asked if I could take her. I did and I called her Hope because even though the odds were stacked against her, I believed that this girl could be tamed and she could get the home she deserved. Two days later she gave birth to five kittens, all who died within ten days. Poor Hope! She was a kitten having kittens and didn't know how to be a mother - it was very sad and I felt that she was grieving. It was at this time that she began to let me touch her. Slowly at first but then she would come up to me for head rubs. Eventually she started to trust me and I could pick her up! No growling, hissing or running away. I had her fixed and vaccinated and she started to mingle with the other rescues. Hope has been with me for six months and is ready to find her permanent home. She wants to bond with someone and belong. Hope is fine around other cats and is used to dogs. She would do well in a peaceful home without young children because often their actions are loud and quick and Hope is sometimes afraid of quick, sudden movements. Loud noises scare her. She loves food and this is the way to her heart. No bad habits and she uses the litter box just fine.

Marco

Age: 10 years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Black
​Purr-sonality: Meet the intrepid Marco. Named for the explorer Marco Polo, this guy has exploration and discovery down to a science. Famous for exploring the entire veterinary office when he was first rescued, he is a favorite with the vet staff. Marco adores people and gets along with most cats once he knows them. He has a huge purr and loves snuggles and pets more than food. He was very thin when first rescued and is starting to fill out now he has had regular food and a warm bed in which to sleep. We would love for him to have a senior to foster him. He would keep someone great company. He is a nice boy who interacts easily with both adults and cat-friendly children. Marco is an affection machine. He stands up to give your hand a head bunt, grabs your hand with both paws to let you know he doesn't want you to stop petting him, and he follows you around like a lost puppy. Simply a wonderful loving companion who will bring you much joy. Like a fine wine he has improved with age. Marco gets along with other cats too.
