Catsy is at the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter and needs you! Scroll down for their contact info – you can adopt directly from them. Meanwhile, here is what they say about this little cutie: Catsy Cline is a gem of a cat who is looking for a best friend to grow old with. Catsy came to the shelter after being abandoned outside when her previous owners moved away. Luckily, a neighbor came to the rescue and took Catsy in for a few days. They even gave her a little haircut to relieve her from matting that had built up. Catsy is an older lady who is looking for a home to live out her golden years. She does have a heart murmur and will need special attention and veterinary care to ensure she continues to maintain a good quality of life as she ages. Catsy’s hobbies include chin scritches, comfy bedding, and the finer foods in life. Catsy would love to jump into the next phase of her life so come into the shelter to set up a time to meet her today!
Quigley is quite a guy! Someone needs to move very urgently, leaving this gorgeous, wise-looking snuggle-bug, we think a Ragdoll, looking for a new home IMMEDIATELY. Can you please help? This loverboy really loves all friendly creatures – cats, birds, you name it – and can’t wait to join his new forever home. He has not lived with children, so adults only or cat-savvy kids could be OK with Quigley. Fostered in Danville.
We are so sorry to hear of Bubba’s passing. His mom writes a beautiful tribute:
His full name was Bubba Gump, because like the movie character, he had a naïve sunniness of disposition, and never met a stranger. He had been found in Vacaville and deposited at Solano County animal shelter until PHCR took him in and we met him. A black Persian with copper eyes, he always loved to answer the doorbell at our house so he could extend his left front paw and turn about so his bum could be scratched. We were unaware of his doglike friendliness at first, but we soon experienced what an unusual cat he was.
We adopted him from Wanda’s PHCR cat garage in Mill Valley because we felt sorry for him—he was a shrimp, only 6 pounds when young and healthy. Furthermore, he snorted and grunted with every breath and step, because his nose was so short. We never had to wonder where Bubba was in our house, because you could hear him across the house. But he was unusual in many ways.
He was trainable—I used to train my collies and show them in obedience trials, so to amuse myself, I gave Bubba a chance to show his stuff, and he did. He learned to sit up and beg, and to speak—he never was sure which was which, so if you told him speak, he would often sit up, and vice versa, or do both at once, but he loved his tricks and did them night and day, sometimes when not ordered to perform. I would be watering my orchids and I would turn around, and there was Bubba, quiet, in full begging position, beseeching my back to pet him. He only ever got a pat on the head, like a dog, and “Good kitty!” was enough reward.
He assumed odd positions—he liked to sleep with his front paws against a pillow or chair arm, as though a nursing kitten kneading his mother. He crossed his paws when at ease, front or back. He loved the furnace intake, fans, or our faces as we breathed, and would join us to read the morning paper, or books and magazines, on the dining table, just so as to feel us breathe. At the end of his life, he fell in love with his HEPA filter because it breathed, and would sit next to it with a dreamy look on his face. I’m a psychiatrist, so I always imagined these things reminded him of his mother. I liked to imagine he was an only kitten. This was partly because he loathed other cats, and so terrified our big rescued Maine Coon Maggie, that she hid in the closet when she heard him coming.
Hs was unmoved by catnip, but loved anthurium tips and made them his daily salad. He adored being brushed and groomed and having his face and whiskers washed. He loved my husband Chris and me equally and completely, and always met us at the door of the garage entry when we returned each day. He had a repertoire of howls (always five, after using his litter box), chirps, and a special bray, like a donkey, when he wanted attention.
He gave us endless pleasure, and we ensured that when he became mortally ill, he went happily and optimistically across the rainbow bridge. Our thanks to his vet, Rachel Griffith (who used to work with Wanda), and to PHCR, for giving us 12 years with a really special animal!
We hear that this beautiful boy has used maybe 1 or 2 of his 9 lives, but is looking to make the rest of those lives just awesome! First, he was rescued from KUWAIT by our friends at SNAP Cats, where he’s quickly becoming a volunteer favorite. To quote one of them: “Rad has become the most adorable little smartass on the earth! He is affectionate and so playful and a handful but an adorable one. ” That about sums it up! Now, we think he’d do best as an only cat for two reasons: 1) he’s not fond of other male cats and 2) he is FIV positive. FIV+ cats can live full lives, but are susceptible to infection and can pass it on to other cats. So, Rad would do best either on his own or with a mellow female FIV+ cat. One more thing: we usually insist on indoors-only, but Rad has proven to LOVE sunshine and fresh air, so a well-protected outdoor space would be great for him. For info, contact SNAP Cats – Darryl@snapcats.org. Visit their website here.

Double the love, these cuddly cats needed to be placed in rather a hurry due to human circumstances, and we are so lucky to have a ready-made option for them that should finalize very soon. But until these things are final, we like to put this info out there just in case… We’re wishing these adorable cats best of luck in their new, fun home!

“Twinkie” is a very, very social gal and has a brilliant future as a supermodel. Here, she’s seen showing off a glam outfit that’s keeping her warm after a pretty extreme haircut. Once all that gorgeous calico fur grows out, look out for extreme beauty and no need for fancy clothes! Besides all that, TT is beautiful on the inside too, being great pals with dogs, cats, humans – anyone who will give her love, conversation and playing.
Pearl is just dreamy! You can get lost in those eyes and that fluffy soft fur, which is a good thing because she can’t get enough petting. What a little lovebug. She got placed with lightning speed with a kind person who had been waiting for just such a cat, even before these fingers could get her up on the website. We hear she’s settling in very well and enjoying her new forever home.
We got an urgent call that Harrison’s person could no longer care for him, and his adorableness, good nature and all-around wonderfulness made him easy to place immediately. He is safely with one of the kind people who’s been patiently waiting to adopt.
We’re happy to report that JJ has been adopted! Oh so soft and oh so much fun, “JJ” has personality plus and loves to be the queen of your world. But, she’s a kindly queen and rules with love. She’d probably prefer a quiet home with no small kids or dogs, but another mellow cat might be just fine.
