Everyone loves a tiny kitten, but don’t overlook the amazing adult cats waiting for their forever homes.

Sakura, 6, is a spicy sweetheart who loves being part of whatever you’re doing. She’ll happily accept snuggles and head rubs once she’s decided you’re her person.

Horchata, 8, is our sweet, shy guy who may be hiding in his blanket fort when you visit. Give him a little time, and you’ll discover a total lovebug who dreams of curling up under the covers with you.

Kittens are cute, but older cats come with personalities, charm, and plenty of love already built in. Cozy season is here. Fall for an adult cat!

Meet Russell A061731: Your Next Run Club Buddy!

Russell has already joined his foster for a couple of running events—and he even made it onto the podium! 🏅 Talk about a great running partner! He walks nicely on a loose leash, loves being active, and is ready to hit the trails (or neighborhood sidewalks) with his future person.

But Russell isn’t all go, go, go! Once the day is done, he’s perfectly happy curling up beside you for some serious cuddle time.

Russell is housebroken, has wonderful house manners, settles well in his crate, and gets along appropriately with other dogs. He’s also smart, eager to please, and already knows sit, down, and stay using hand signals.

🏃 Running partner? Check.
🐾 Dog-friendly? Check.
🏠 Great house manners? Check.
🐓 Chickens? Check.
🎉 Adventure buddy? Check.
❤️ Professional cuddler? Absolutely!

From foster mom to forever family! ❤️

We love a good foster success story, and this one has a very happy ending! For the past three years, one of our amazing foster parents has opened her home to eight large-breed dogs, giving each one love, safety, and a second chance.

And then came Adrian Pimento… She officially foster failed and they’re now living happily ever after!

We’re so grateful for fosters who make such a difference in the lives of shelter dogs.
Thank you for giving them a chance and for finding your forever friend along the way!

Did you know barn cats are one of the most effective forms of natural rodent control?

Barn cats help keep mouse and rat populations in check, protecting feed, barns, equipment, and livestock areas without relying solely on chemicals. They’re a great fit for farms, ranches, shops, warehouses, vineyards, and other outdoor properties where they can safely live and work.

We currently have A LOT of barn cats looking for places to call home, and they’re FREE! These cats may not be lap cats, but they excel at what they do and deserve safe shelter, regular food, fresh water, and a caretaker who appreciates the important role they play.
If your property could benefit from a hardworking, natural pest control team, we’d love to match you with the right barn cat (or two!).

FREE barn cats available now! Call us at (916) 687-3042 to learn more about our barn cat program or to see if your property is a good fit.
