1. Machiavelli

Young (6 months) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 5 mi from Cherryland

Machiavelli & Lillian found each other when they had no mother in sight. Now these bonded kittens are looking for a home together -- and someone who will let their trust grow at its own pace.

Machiavelli is a handsome, shy boy with cloud-soft black fur, a gray undercoat, and beautiful ear tufts. He needs more time to feel comfortable with people, but his playful side shines when he and Lillian chase and tumble together. A patient adopter who lets him set the pace will give him the chance to blossom.

Read more about Machiavelli

Lillian, a brown tabby girl, is the curious, outgoing half of the pair. She greets you with a soft morning meow, winds around your ankles at mealtime, and loves investigating whatever you’re doing. An independent girl, she enjoys attention without needing to be in your lap. Balls, boxes, wand toys -- she’s ready for all of them!

Rescued from life outdoors, these two have come a long way. They need someone who enjoys Lillian’s company while giving Machiavelli the time and understanding he needs to feel safe.

Machiavelli and Lillian were born in approximately April 2026. They are both neutered/spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and good about using their litter box.

Could you be their person? To meet Lillian and Machiavelli, please email secondhandcatladies@yahoo.com.

3. Seven

Young (2 months 6 days) · Female · Extra-Toes Cat (Hemingway Polydactyl) / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 5 mi from Cherryland

Hi, we’re Seven (calico) and Six (brown tabby) — great names, right?! We are bonded sisters, and we are both polydactyl kitties, which means we have extra toes! Our foster mom describes us as spunky, sweet and clever; and she adds that we love to eat!

We are being fostered with dogs, a cat and small children, and we are all getting along well. We sleep quietly through the night and are very good about using our litter box.

We were born approximately August 13, 2026. We are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together. We are good with other cats and gentle children. We can placed as “foster-to-adopt” kittens until we have been fixed.

5. Ollie

Young (4 months 15 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 5 mi from Cherryland

Hi, my name is Ollie, and I was rescued after being found all by myself in a parking lot without my mother or siblings. I am a sweet and observant boy. My foster mom says that I'm very calm, and we are working on my confidence. I really like to be in the same room as my human. When people come to my home they always tell me that I have extra-soft fur and pretty eyes. Some people say that I look like a little panther because I’m shiny and graceful!

Read more about Ollie

I love my foster brothers and sisters -- I play with them all the time and we like to give each other baths. I try not to play too rough but I like to run around the family room! I've heard my mom tell people that if my forever home had another cat or two, I would fit in very well.

I was born approximately May 31, 2026. I have been fixed, vaccinated and microchipped, and am ready for my new, loving home!

This is a Courtesy Post, and Ollie is not with Angus & Friends Cat Rescue. He is with an independent rescuer in Alameda County, California. For more information about adopting Ollie, please contact Joanne at 510-303-9719 or at jfkeenan08@gmail.com.

6. Tink

Young (4 months 11 days) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 5 mi from Cherryland

Tink is loyal, outgoing, loving, active and confident. Her love language is quality time. She loves playing and spending time around humans and other cats. Her confidence is unlike other cats -- she doesn’t fear vacuums or loud sounds. She gets along with every cat she meets and loves to play with them!

Tink was found at 3-4 weeks old in a colony of 50+ cats and kittens. She had an eye infection caused by feline herpes, but healed almost immediately upon coming home. She quickly became the friendliest kitten.

Read more about Tink

Tink is friendly and independent. One of her best friends is Callie, who is a few months older than her. They love cuddling, playing, and play-fighting together! Tink would also do well being adopted with her brother Teddy.

Tink was born approximately June 1, 2026. She has been fixed, is litter box trained, has received flea treatment, has been dewormed, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. Tink would do well with gentle children.

7. Teddy

Young (4 months 11 days) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 5 mi from Cherryland

Teddy’s name describes him perfectly. He’s a sweet, cuddly, loving kitten. He’s always been quick to open up to strangers. He’s confident and loves to explore and play. He loves cuddles, pets, and treats!

Most of the time Teddy’s love language is physical touch, and he’ll choose cuddles over a treat. The rest of the time, he’ll definitely go for the treat!

Read more about Teddy

Teddy has a sister named Tink, whom he loves to play with, and who is also just as loving and loyal. Most kittens from the cat colony Teddy was rescued from tend to be scared and run away, but Teddy has always been curious. The best way to describe his view of the world is rainbows and sunshine, trusting that humans will be good to him.

Teddy is a friendly and independent kitten. He would do well being adopted with his sister Tink or his best buddy Romeo, from another litter.

Teddy was born approximately June 1, 2026. He has been fixed, is litter box trained, has received flea treatment, has been dewormed, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. Teddy would do well with gentle children; no dogs please.

Young (5 months 13 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 5 mi from Cherryland

Romeo is a very friendly, loving kitten. Don’t let his initial shyness fool you. He loves attention, treats, food, and play time!

Romeo was rescued from a colony where kittens were struggling to survive. Romeo is now doing better than ever, and he has adjusted to his life indoors. He is sweet, enjoys pets and cuddles from humans, and gets along with every kitten he meets! Romeo would do best being adopted with one of his kitten buddies; he is especially close with his best friend Teddy.

9. Theodore

Young (11 months) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 5 mi from Cherryland

Meet Theodore! This cute little guy is a domestic medium hair tuxedo cat, black with white on his chest and belly. Theodore may be a little skittish at first, but he is a super sweetheart, and will want to be next to you and sleep with you.

Theodore is very playful, loves watching cat TV, and gets along wonderfully with any other animal. He doesn’t meow a whole lot, but he has big purrs!

Theodore was born in approximately November 2025. He has been fixed and is up to date on his shots.

10. Aloisius

Adult (2 years 1 month) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 5 mi from Cherryland

Aloisious is just the sweetest boy!! He was a very handsome young tomcat (meaning an adult male cat unneutered, with a big round head), when we trapped him as he was walking by in an area known for coyotes. We searched for his owner, but no one is looking for him, and he was unfixed and not microchipped. Aloisius is a very tame cat, so it is likely someone was feeding him and tamed him down, but did not claim him as theirs. He was not in a safe place, but now he is safe and cared for in one of our foster homes!

Read more about Aloisius

Aloisius is adorable and a total sweetheart, and he deserves his own loving indoor-only home. It is likely he would get along with children 8 years or older who are gentle and can move more slowly until he adjusts to his new family and environment.

We think Aloisius would do great in a home with another kitty, but probably not with dogs.

Aloisius was born in approximately September 2024. He is healthy, has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is ready for his forever home!

If you are looking for a great, gentle companion for yourself and maybe your cat, you cannot go wrong with this sweet, precious and very handsome boy!

11. Mary Paige

Young (7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 5 mi from Cherryland

Mary Paige is a super playful and energetic kitten, born in February 2026. Unlike her two siblings, Mary Paige is the definition of a social butterfly and settled into her foster home right away. She confidently took on the role of big sister—exploring the environment, grooming her siblings, and helping them feel safe.

While she is deeply bonded to her brother Milo and sister Callie, Mary Paige enjoys her independence and loves exploring on her own, making her a perfect fit for a home with other friendly cats or alongside Milo. She needs to be adopted with one of her siblings or into a home with another friendly kitty to play with.

Read more about Mary Paige

As the most playful and social one of the group, Mary Paige has a lot of energy and could play for hours with anyone who can keep up! She absolutely loves wand toys and will make a little growl sound when playing—it might sound scary, but she is never aggressive. In fact, she is incredibly generous and great at sharing her food, bed, and toys. She even loves playing with and taking care of other foster cats outside of her own litter.

Mary Paige is a domestic shorthair white & gray tabby with an estimated date of birth of February 2, 2026. She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and has received a topical flea treatment. Mary Paige has tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

Mary Paige is highly adaptable and would do well in a home other friendly cats and with gentle children aged 12 and up; no dogs please.

12. Callie

Young (7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 5 mi from Cherryland

Meet Callie, a beautiful, shorthaired torbie born in approximately February 2026. Callie is the cuddliest, most affectionate girl. She’s a bit timid at first, but once she opens up, she’s incredibly friendly and will follow you around everywhere. This smart girl loves Churu and freeze-dried chicken treats, and she quickly trained herself to come over, sit, and wait patiently for her snacks.

Read more about Callie

Callie loves to play with wand toys, chase her siblings around, and run up and down the cat tree. Callie loves napping and cozying up, but once she gets the energy to play, there’s no stopping her! She has two littermates, Mary Paige and Milo, whom she loves very much. They’ve always groomed each other, played with each other, and shared food with each other. Callie is naturally playful and curious, so her energy could help Milo (her shy brother) open up!

Even though Callie is bonded with her siblings, she is also independent and loves meeting and playing with new cats. There isn’t a cat she’s met that she didn’t get along with. She would do great paired with Tink, a 9-week-old kitten from a different litter. She does need to be adopted with another kitten or into a home with another friendly kitty to play with. Callie would do well in a home with friendly cats and gentle children aged 12 years and up; no dogs please.

Callie was born approximately February 2, 2026. She is healthy, has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and has received a topical flea treatment. Callie has tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

13. Milo

Young (7 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 5 mi from Cherryland

Meet Milo, an incredibly sweet and playful little guy born in February 2026! Milo is a timid yet curious kitten who can be a little shy with new humans and might take a minute to adjust, but he is friendly, cuddly, and loves playing with wand toys, cat trees, and cat tunnels. Milo also LOVES Churus and snacks! Whenever he hears the treat bag or jar, he is the first one to approach gently, sitting and waiting patiently for his turn.

Read more about Milo

Because he is friendly but shy, Milo relies heavily on his family for comfort. He is bonded with his two sisters, Callie and Mary Paige, and would thrive by being adopted with at least one of them. If you have the space to take on all three, they are well-mannered, easy to look after, fun to play with, and will support each other as they settle into a new environment.

Please note that Milo is very fearful of dogs, so he would not do well in a home with them. However, he would do wonderfully and settle in quickly in a home with gentle children aged 12 and up. Milo needs to be adopted with one of his siblings, or into a home with another friendly kitty to play with.

Milo is a domestic shorthair tabby with an estimated date of birth of February 2, 2026. He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and has received a topical flea treatment. Milo has tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

I'm still getting accustomed to indoor life so might be just a bit skittish at first, but I would love to bring my sweet personality and fun into your home!

15. Felicia

Young (1 year 6 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 5 mi from Cherryland

FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED: Felicia was a teenage young mom who was sick and very thin when we brought her inside. Unfortunately, because she was sick, we had to separate her from her kittens. This is a hard thing for any mom, but the kittens have thrived under the care of a great foster.

Read more about Felicia

Felicia is now much healthier, is fixed, vaccinated and microchipped, but is still a bit skittish. She is definitely showing great signs of being a very playful little girl! Felicia needs someone with time to play with her and to get her through "finishing school." She will likely do best as an only kitty with a single person, or a young couple with another young cat, perhaps an older male kitten to help her feel more comfortable around humans. We believe Felicia was born in approximately April 2025.

Felicia is a very cute tortie with lots of tortitude! Once she bonds with you and feels comfortable in her new environment, she will definitely be an adorable addition to your family.

She’s always ready for the next adventure and brings a fun, playful spirit wherever she goes.

When playtime is over, Tango’s softer side shines through. She has an incredibly loud purr that starts the moment she’s happy, and she loves curling up for snuggles with her people. She’s especially devoted to her sweet sister, Mango, and the two share a special bond—you’ll often find them cuddled up together after a day of play.

Then, one of our knowledgeable customer service representatives brings the adopter and animal together in one of our Get Acquainted Rooms. There they have a quiet, private space to get to know each other better. During the visit, the customer service representative may discuss the following: past experiences with animals and current animals in the home lifestyle, including work schedule and the kinds of activities they plan to do with their companion animal housing situation - own or rent, size of yard, etc. In order to make the best match possible for a family and home, we suggest potential adopters bring along all members of the household to meet the new companion animal and bring their current dog(s) to meet a potential dog.

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
