Aspen & Dove: Siblings, Sidekicks, and Sunbeam Seekers Hello! We’re Aspen (the dashing brother) and Dove (the graceful sister), and we’ve got quite the tale to tell — one full of whiskers, wonder, and the kind of sibling bond that would make even the closest of cat duos jealous. You see, we weren’t always lounging in sunbeams and chasing feathers like tiny panthers. Once upon a time, we were rescued from Stockton and whisked away to San Francisco, where we landed in a warm, safe foster home. At first, everything was new and kind of uncertain for us — but with patience, chin scritches, and an endless supply of Churu, we’ve been blossoming into curious, sweet, and silly little beings. We do everything together. Whether we’re orchestrating a synchronized attack on a toy mouse or curling up in a perfectly-mirrored nap pile, we’re a bonded pair through and through. We wrestle. We groom each other. We team up to investigate every cardboard box, sunny window, and crinkly paper bag we encounter. Where one of us goes, the other is usually two steps behind (or ahead — we take turns leading adventures). We’re no longer tiny kittens, but we’ve still got just the right amount of youthful energy—think playful zoomies without the chaos. These days, we’re mastering the balance between fun and relaxation. Dove likes to keep an eye on things from the highest perch, regal and observant, while Aspen is your resident goofball who’s happiest flopped in your lap once he feels safe. We’ve grown into our personalities and are ready to bring a little joy, play, and calm companionship into your home. Humans are growing on us. We started off shy, unsure of how this whole “people” thing worked. But with the help of our wonderful foster family (and did we mention the treats?), we’re starting to see how great it is to have a human to love. Every day, we open up a little more. Every day, we surprise our foster with something new — a purr, a cuddle, a game of chase that ends with a belly-up flop of victory. We’re looking for a forever home that will let us keep unfolding at our own pace — a place where we can continue our story surrounded by patience, love, and plenty of windows to watch the world from. We might take a little time to settle in, but once we do, we’ll reward you with two hearts full of love, four curious eyes, and eight paws worth of personality. Could we be the next chapter in your life story? We’re ready when you are. Love, You can see more of us here @meowpond.jpg. |

Meet Daisy – your international cuddle ambassador! Hi, I’m Daisy! I came all the way from Oman to San Francisco to find my forever home, and let me tell you—I’m so ready to snuggle in and stay awhile. I’m about 1.5 years old, curious, confident, and full of love. After a 36-hour journey across the globe, I only needed a quick catnap before I was exploring, playing, and rubbing up against my foster humans for attention. Brave? Absolutely. Charming? That too. My favorite things? Snuggling up close, getting brushed, and purring non-stop while you give me head scritches. I’m also a total bedtime sweetheart—I’ll sleep next to you without a peep, keeping you company all night long without stealing the covers. Playtime? Yes, please! I go wild for toys and can’t resist a Churu treat. I’m still young and love staying active with feather wands and whatever you’ve got on hand. I may have only one eye, but trust me—it doesn’t slow me down one bit. I navigate life with confidence, curiosity, and plenty of zoomies. One thing to know: I’m a bit of a snuggle hog. I’d prefer to be your one and only furry companion—I’m not too keen on sharing my humans (or their laps). But hey, more snuggles for both of us, right? Ready for a cat with international flair and a world-class snuggle game? Let’s meet—I’ve got purrs to share and love to give. See more of me in my current foster home here @luluscatcafe and here @purrfectlivin, and my previous foster home here @dj_capy_. |

Freda: Acrobat. Window Watcher. Tortie Queen. Hi, I’m Freda—and yes, the “tortie-tude” rumors are absolutely true. ? I’ve got sass, class, and some pretty impressive mid-air moves. I was rescued as a kitten from the streets of San Francisco with my sister Holly, and I’ve come a long way from my backyard beginnings. I’m still a bit shy with new people, but once I feel safe, I turn into a total goofball. My ideal human? Someone patient, kind, and cat-savvy—someone who understands that I might need a little time to warm up, but that I’m 100% worth the wait. When I’m comfortable, you’ll see my sporty side shine. I’m a flying acrobat when the Da Bird comes out, and the cat dancer toy? Let’s just say it doesn’t stand a chance. I also love lounging by windows where I can keep an eye on the neighborhood—chirping at passersby and pretending I run the block. (I kinda do.) Food is another great way to my heart. I’ll lick Churus straight off your fingers, and if you’ve got treats, you’ve got my attention. And once we’ve bonded? Get ready for head scritches, little paw taps for “more please,” and sweet moments where I let you in on my softer side. I’d be happy as an only cat while I find my rhythm in a new home, but I could also thrive with another friendly feline—or adopted alongside my sister Holly, if you’re looking for a dynamic duo. So, if you’re looking for a beautiful, bold tortie with just the right mix of spice and sweetness, I might be your girl. Let’s meet and see if we click. I’ll bring the purrs, you bring the snacks. |

Holly: Sweet Talker. Laser Chaser. Feather Fanatic. Hi, I’m Holly—your future BFF and loyal little shadow. I may be a tortie, but don’t let the reputation fool you. I’m more sugar than spice, with a soft heart and a gentle purr. I was rescued as a kitten from a backyard in San Francisco, and while I can be a little shy when we first meet, I warm up quickly—especially if you’ve got Churus. I’ll greet you at the door, rub against your legs like we’ve known each other forever, and settle in close for head scritches, belly rubs, and some quality hangout time. I’m playful, curious, and always ready for action when the laser pointer or feather toy comes out. My favorite? Peacock feathers disappearing under a blanket—it’s my version of a treasure hunt. I’m quick, agile, and a bit of an acrobat when the mood strikes. A few rousing play sessions are the fastest way to earn my trust. When I’m not hunting imaginary bugs or chasing lights, I love sitting by the window to watch the world go by. I’ve got an independent streak, but I’m also a total softie. Sometimes you’ll find me curled up with my sister Freda—we do enjoy a good snuggle session when the vibes are right. I’d thrive as a solo cat, with a friendly feline companion, or adopted alongside Freda (if you're into double the tortie magic). All I need is a kind, patient human who’ll give me a little time to settle in. Once I do, I’ll be the best kind of roommate: affectionate, entertaining, and always nearby. So what do you say? Got room in your heart (and your window) for a gentle girl like me? |

Bold, Beautiful, and Born to Fetch — Judy Is Ready to Charm Her Way Into Your Heart Hi, I’m Judy! I’m a playful, affectionate tortie with a hint of orange stripes and the biggest green eyes you’ve ever seen. I’ve been through a lot — found abandoned outside an assisted living home in Modesto — but I’ve bounced back with a whole lot of charm and cattitude. Now I’m living in San Francisco and looking for my forever home! Here’s what you should know about me: I’m a natural entertainer. Feather toys? Love ‘em. Ball toys? Obsessed. I even play fetch like a pro — and when I catch the ball, I carry it around proudly before bringing it back for another round. I’ve got the confidence of a cat who knows she’s amazing, and I wear it well. When playtime winds down, I’m all about belly rubs and cozy naps curled up by your side. I may not love being held (a lady has her boundaries), but I adore being petted and will happily stay close by. That said — I’m getting better at being held every day! My foster has been gently picking me up and offering treats, and it’s really paying off. I’m getting sweeter, snugglier, and I’ve even started listening better (when snacks are involved, of course). I’m still a total food monster, but now with a side of cuddly charm. Oh, and did I mention I’m an athlete? My high-flying jumps are something to see — playtime with me is seriously fun. I’m a foodie with flair — my meow for treats is part performance, part plea, and always adorable. If snacks are involved, you’ve got my full attention. I also get along great with other cats! I play and snuggle with my foster sibling, so I’d be happy in a home with a cat friend — or as your solo queen, as long as you keep the toys and affection flowing. I’m looking for a loving human who’s ready for a cat with purrsonality, energy, and a whole lot of love to give. If you’re after a playful companion who will keep you smiling and steal your heart, I just might be your purrfect match. Let’s make forever happen. Love and purrs, |

Clever, Confident, and a Little Bit Sassy — Louie Is Ready to Steal the Spotlight (and Your Heart!) Hi! I’m Louie — a smart, snuggly, and slightly mischievous kitty looking for my forever home in San Francisco. I was rescued from Peninsula Humane Society, and let me tell you, I’ve got a big purrsonality and an even bigger heart. I’ll greet you at the door like we’ve been best friends forever, wrap you in cuddles, and charm you with my playful antics. I love wand toys, lap time, and being right in the middle of whatever you’re doing — laundry, video calls, snack breaks, you name it. Let’s get one thing straight: I’m the total package. I’m sweet, playful, and full of energy — but also the perfect chill companion when it’s time to unwind. I’ll even keep you company while you fold laundry or make dinner… I’m thoughtful like that. I love being around people and settle in quickly with new humans. When I’m feeling snuggly, I’ll curl up in your lap and purr like an engine, reaching up with a gentle paw to politely request more chin scritches. Brushing? Yes, please. I’m into self-care. Also, not to brag, but I’m kind of a genius. I’ve mastered sit, high five, spin, and jump on command — and I’m learning even more tricks with clicker training. I’m always curious, always observing, and always ready for whatever fun comes next. Even though I love to explore, I’m respectful of your space — I stick to my scratching posts and leave your furniture alone. I like to perch up high where I can keep an eye on everything (I take my supervisory duties seriously). I’d love a home with a bit of room to roam — studio apartments just aren’t my style. I’m 98% charming gentleman, 2% spicy chaos goblin. Let’s get this out of the way: yes, I’ve got a bit of a mischievous streak. But can you really blame a brilliant, energetic kitty like me for getting a little… enthusiastic when I’m bored? I grew up as a solo cat, so I missed out on learning some of those polite kitty manners from feline friends. The result? Occasionally I get a bit grabby or give a love nibble that’s just a touch too much. But listen — when I’ve got enough playtime, enrichment, and someone who can set some clear boundaries? I shine. Big time. My foster says I need a confident human who won’t let me call all the shots (as much as I’d love to). Someone who sees past my little flaws and knows how to channel my big purrsonality into fun and affection. Think of me as your sassy sidekick — never boring, always entertaining, and full of love (plus the occasional dramatic flair). I’d thrive as your one and only, basking in the spotlight, or I could vibe with a bold, no-nonsense cat who knows how to play and set boundaries. Either way, what I really need is a forever family who gets me — someone who sees the sparkle in my sass and is ready to help me polish up my manners (with love, playtime, and maybe the occasional treat bribe). Think you can handle a little mischief with your cuddles? Then we might just be soulmates. Are you ready to be the boss of me? Good. Now let’s talk adoption. You can see more of me in my foster home here @purrfect_purrminators, and in my former fosters @buttlickers_anonymous, @cousin_louie_the_cat.

Meet Lucky – Your Instant Best Friend Hi, I’m Lucky—and wow, do I have a story to tell. Not long ago, I was alone, scared, and hungry—left behind in a hotel parking lot in San Carlos. I was thin, covered in burrs, and not sure what would happen next. A kind human spotted me and scooped me up, and just like that… everything changed. That’s how I got my name—because I’m one lucky cat. But honestly? I think you might be the lucky one if we end up together. Let me tell you a little about me: I’m a gray and white tuxedo with soft, medium-length fur and a big heart. I’m what they call an “immediate gratification” cat—I don’t make you wait for affection. The moment I meet you, I’m all in. I love hard, purr loud, and snuggle close. You give me a second of kindness, and I’ll give you all my love in return. But hey—I’m not just a cuddle machine. I’ve got energy and spunk, too! I love to play. Wand toys, crinkly balls, zoomies through the hallway—you name it, I’m into it. I could happily be your one-and-only, but I’d also love having a playful cat buddy to wrestle and nap with. I’m easy like that. I’ve been through some tough times, but I haven’t let it dull my sparkle. I’m sweet, outgoing, curious, and ready to find a forever home where I’ll be safe, loved, and adored (trust me, I make it easy). So if you’re looking for instant love, constant laughs, and a purring best friend who’s always thrilled to see you—look no further. Let’s make each other the luckiest.

Meet Marshall – Mr. Charm, Mr. Mischief, Mr. Right Hey there, I’m Marshall—and if you’re looking for a cat with confidence, charisma, and a whole lotta character... congratulations, you just found me. I was rescued at ACT Spay/Neuter Clinic in Stockton, CA, and from the moment I landed in my foster home, I made myself right at home. No hiding under the bed for this guy—I introduced myself, scoped out the place, and got down to the important stuff: demanding love, investigating cabinets, and finding the best sun spots. I’m playful, affectionate, smart, and curious about everything. I love to be near my people—greeting them at the door, following them around the house, and settling in next to them for movies or bedtime. I may not always be in your lap, but I’m never far away. I'm what you'd call a “constant companion” cat. And yes—I'm a talker, but in a charming, conversational way. I like to chirp, meow, and chatter when I’ve got something to say or when I’m feeling particularly happy (which is often). You talk, I’ll answer. It’s part of my charm! Let’s talk playtime: I’ve got energy, smarts, and I love to play. Wand toys, fetch, cat puzzles—bring it on. I’ve even learned tricks like sitting and jumping through a hoop. I'm basically a cat with a built-in training mode and circus flair. Now, about my quirks: I’m a spirited guy, and I like things a certain way. I might give you a little bat or nip if I’m feeling overexcited or ignored. It’s not mean—just my way of saying “hey, boundaries, buddy!” I can also get into a bit of mischief if you leave food unattended or houseplants unguarded. So… let’s agree to set some house rules together. Because of my big purrsonality and strong opinions, I’d do best in a cat-savvy home with humans who appreciate a bold, interactive feline. I’d also really prefer to be your one and only—I’ve got more than enough love and entertainment to go around. If you're looking for a smart, loyal, hilarious companion who will fill your home with energy, affection, and unforgettable moments—I’m your guy. Wanna see me in action? Check out my adventures at @sf_fosterfriend and @dj_capy_. Let’s make some magic together. |

Max: Creamsicle Charm & Chatterbox Energy Oh hey—did you hear that? That was me announcing my grand entrance. I’m Max, the creamy orange tabby with an ameowzing purr and a lot to say. I’ve got a big puurrsonality and an even bigger heart, and I like to make sure you know exactly how I’m feeling at all times. (Spoiler alert: it’s usually “hungry for Churu” or “ready for snuggles.”) I’m the more outgoing half of a bonded pair—my brother Niko is my quieter sidekick and forever wrestling partner. I love a good round of zoomies, and nothing beats a full-on brother chase session through the hallway. Once we’ve burned off our energy, we’re all about curling up together in a warm pile of fur. Niko’s my best bud, and we’re a packaged deal—two perfect boys, one amazing home. I love being held and will melt into your arms while revving up my signature thunder-purr. I’ll follow you from room to room like a little orange shadow, narrating my every step. Why stream background noise when I’ve got a full playlist of chirps, meows, and purrs ready to go? I’m not really into toys (unless my brother is the toy), but I live for connection, conversation, and couch time. Bring the snacks, bring the love, and bring my brother—because wherever I go, Niko goes too. |

Graceful, Gentle, and Full of Quiet Charm — Mikasa Is Ready to Come Home Hi, I’m Mikasa — a calm, curious soul with elegant whiskers and an independent spirit. I was abandoned at a vet’s office in Hesperia, but those days are long behind me. I’m now living the cozy life in San Francisco and dreaming of a forever home filled with soft blankets, warm sunbeams, and kind humans to call my own. I’m a natural explorer — I like to roam from room to room, taking in every corner of my domain. I’ll gladly keep you company while you work or relax, and when I’ve had my fill of solo adventures, you’ll find me bunny-flopped at your feet or nestled nearby. I’m a big fan of chin rubs and head scratches, and yes, I’ll come when called — just to be near you. I’m not overly playful, but I’ve started to dip a paw into toys here and there. Mostly, I’m about calm companionship, quiet observation, and soft affection. I don’t demand attention, but I appreciate it deeply. To be honest, I’d really prefer to be your one and only. I’m happiest when I have my people all to myself — no sharing required. I like my space peaceful, my naps uninterrupted, and my attention undivided. If you're looking for a solo queen to fill your home (and heart), I’m the cat for you. If you’re looking for a peaceful, affectionate cat who brings grace, warmth, and a steady presence to your life — I think we’d make a wonderful pair. Ready to meet your gentle new best friend? I’ll be waiting. You can see more of me in my foster home here @fosterkisas.

Milo: Lap Cat in Training, Belly Spot Extraordinaire Hey there, I’m Milo—the snuggler-in-chief and explorer-in-training. I was rescued from a Shell gas station in Lathrop with my siblings, and I’ve been making up for lost cuddle time ever since. I’m the first to greet you, the first to curl up on the bed, and the first to figure out how to climb onto your lap while you’re trying to work (you didn’t really need that keyboard, right?). I follow my foster around like a tiny shadow and come running when called—because love and lap time wait for no one. When I’m not snuggling, I’m following the big foster furiend cats to see what kind of mischief we can get into. I’m curious, playful, and very proud of my spotted belly, which I show off regularly. I’m also very serious about my naps—preferably with a feline friend right next to me. I’d love to be adopted with my sister Dora or go home to another young cat buddy. I’m still little, and I need a playmate to wrestle, chase, and curl up with when the zoomies wear off. So… what do you say? Want a lap warmer with a built-in purr motor? Follow me and my furiends @blocky_buds. |

Niko: Velvet Panther Vibes & Gentle Soul Hi… um, excuse me… I’m Niko. I might not burst into the room like my brother Max (he’s got the volume turned way up), but give me a little time and a lot of love, and you’ll see me start to shine. I’m a sleek little mini panther with big golden eyes, a gentle heart, and a sweet, shy spirit just waiting to blossom. I’m the quieter half of our bonded pair, the yin to Max’s zoomy yang. Where he’s bold and chatty, I’m soft-spoken and thoughtful. I like to observe from a cozy corner, warm up at my own pace, and once I feel safe—watch out—I’m ready for head scritches, slow blinks, and deep purrs. I’m still building my confidence, but it’s clear I’ve got “future lap cat” written all over me. My favorite hobbies include: scratching my cardboard pad with great flair, napping in sunbeams, and chasing Max down the hallway like a tiny panther on a mission. We wrestle, we zoom, we nap tangled up like a heart-shaped puddle of fur. Max makes me feel brave, and I keep him grounded. We’re a purrfect pair—and we need to stay together. I don’t say much, but trust me—my snuggles speak volumes. With patience and kindness, I’ll show you my full self—sweet, silly, and fiercely loyal. Just promise you’ll bring Max too. |
