Zelena is one of the lucky ones that gets a chance at a life in a loving home, off the streets. She is not as boisterous as her siblings. She is a little bit on the shy side and is playing with people daily to build her confidence. She loves her hammocks and wand toys. She is so beautiful and such a sweet soul. She needs a quiet home that will be a little more patient with her so she can come around at her own pace. She will make you a wonderful friend and companion!

Hi, my name is Mitzi. I am a very friendly girl, so I think I had a home once. I wandered into a yard, and the lady thought her dogs might hurt me, so she brought me to SBACC. I am a very active cat who still has lots of kitten energy. I love to run around, explore, and play. I am also talkative and will let you know when I want something. In addition to being friendly, I am affectionate and enyoy being held and cuddled. Some people might say I am the purrfect cat, so I expect to find my forever home very, very soon. And, BTW, I am also pretty cute.

Hi, my name is Taylor. I was left behind when my person moved, and I spent weeks hanging out in a backyard. She noticed something strange on my nose and was not sure whether it was an injury or an infection, but she did not want it to get worse, so she brought me to SBACC. The vet checked me out and even did a skin biopsy, which showed no parasitic infections, but they said I probably had flea or other insect bites. It is taking me a little while to get used to life at SBACC, and I am just starting to emerge from the cubby that I have been hiding in. I am a really friendly cat, and I like people and pets. I am not looking my best right now because of my nose injury, but it is starting to get better, and I know I will be looking great pretty soon. I am hoping for a forever home before the holidays.

Hi, my name is Bella. I was rescued from an overcrowded shelter and brought to SBACC. It was obvious that I was very pregnant, and I delivered six kittens in my foster home the very next day. Sadly, one of them did not survive, but the other five have grown into happy, healthy kittens and will soon be ready for their forever homes. I took very good care of my kittens, but I am now done with motherhood and ready to be loved and pampered in my own home. My foster Mom says that I am the sweetest cat you will ever meet. I am very vocal and love to chat with my people, always letting you know when I want attention. More than anything, I love curling up in your lap and soaking up all the cuddles I can get. If you are looking for a loving companion who wants to be by your side, I am the perfect lap cat and will happily keep you company every chance I get.

Beautiful Clover has the most gorgeous green eyes, but right now she's feeling a little overwhelmed by shelter life. ❤️

This sweet black-and-white girl was owner surrendered on October 9, and she's understandably a little frightened.

She's going to need someone patient who will give her plenty of time to decompress and settle into a new environment. But we did discover something important about Clover...She LOVES treats!

Sometimes the way to a nervous kitty's heart is through her stomach!

-Domestic Shorthair, Black & White

-1 year, 6 months

-Spayed and microchipped female

-9.4 lbs as of October 9

-Microchipped

-Owner surrender

Hi, my name is Lenore Dove, and I am a survivor. I had been abused, but luckily I was rescued and brought to SBACC. Someone who feeds feral cats found me. I had been dumped in a colony of ferals, and she knew I was in bad shape and did not belong there. I had a severely damaged eye that ruptured and had to be removed, and I had bruising on my abdomen and chest that looked like I had been kicked. I also had sores and scabs on my neck and head. I am a bit shy and timid, but I warm up quickly to quiet, gentle people. The people who care for me at SBACC say I am very sweet. I am hoping to find a home where I will be safe and loved forever and ever.

Hi, my name is Henna. I was rescued from an abandoned property along with my two kittens. They went to a foster home, but I stayed at SBACC. I was not in very good shape. I had a severely damaged eye that had to be removed, and I have a significant head tilt. Some specialists have checked it out, and they think it’s due to an ear infection and some inner ear issues. It might be with me forever. Despite this, I am a very friendly girl and a ball of energy. I am hoping for a forever home, and I would probably do best as an only cat.

Wizard was born into a colony that just kept growing. Thankfully, a smart neighbor began helping TNR to stop the breeding and foster the babies. Wizard has had hands on from the beginning and is such a wonderful guy! He is silly, playful and social, not to mention beautiful with his long fur! He's a hit at adoptions with his 2 sisters who are also beautiful black fluffies. Come and meet Wizard to see if he's the one for you!

Willow was born into a colony that was breeding out of control. The "owners" didn't realize how big of a problem not getting a few cats fixed could be or how fast they can multiply. A concerned neighbor approached them about TNR and helped them get the entire colony fixed and fostered the kittens. Willow is one of those lucky kittens who will know life off the streets!

Willow loves to hang on your arm and play with her siblings all day long. She's a hit at adoptions with her siblings and she is so super sweet. She loves to be doted on and is just a love to have around.

Meet Marmont, a breathtaking Chartreux mix with a heart as grand as his handsome frame. On the 4th of July, Marmont’s life changed forever when he was left abandoned in the bushes alongside an empty carrier and a few empty cat food cans. Terrified, unfixed, and severely underweight, this resilient boy mustered up all his courage and ran straight out of the bushes looking for human help. Since that fateful day, Marmont has been steadily gaining weight, gaining confidence, and discovering what it feels like to be truly safe and cherished.

Meet Lucas, a gentle, sweet soul looking for a quiet home where he can be showered with love and pets!

Lucas is fully recovered, resilient, and ready for a peaceful forever home where he can relax, enjoy his treats, and be your loyal lap companion.

*FOSTER HOMES NEEDED*

Hi, my name is Kiki. I lived in a nice backyard with another cat for some time. The lady fed us and tried to keep us safe. We both had kittens, and she decided we deserved a better life, so she brought us to SBACC. My kittens went to a foster home, and I stayed at SBACC while I waited for a forever home. I am still a little nervous around people, but I am getting more comfortable every day. I enjoy attention and pets, and I get along well with other cats. I am very petite and pretty. I am hoping for a family or a Mom or Dad who will love and cherish me forever.

Meet Prince William! This royal little guy is super playful, goofy, and the definition of a fun-loving orange cat. He spends his days living life in the fast lane, wrestling and chasing toys with his siblings from sunrise to sunset. If there’s a crinkle ball to hunt or a feather wand to stalk, Prince William is on the case! When he’s done ruling the playroom, this affectionate boy is ready to settle down for some well-earned chin scratches and purr sessions.
Because he has so much kitten energy and loves social time, it’s recommended Prince William goes to a home with an active playmate (either one of his siblings or another resident cat) and plenty of toys to keep his clever mind busy.

Meet Prince Harry! Prince Harry is a gentle, introverted soul who prefers life in the quiet lane. He is currently a super shy and timid kitty, but beneath that cautious exterior lies a heart made of absolute gold.
Prince Harry takes a little time to adjust to new faces, but patience is highly rewarded with this sweet boy. Once he realizes he is safe, he absolutely loves gentle pets, chin scratches, and warm cuddles, turning into a total purr machine.
His favorite confidence booster is his brother! Prince Harry loves playing and wrestling with his more outgoing siblings. Because he relies on other felines to feel brave, it’s highly recommended he finds a home with another confident, friendly resident cat (or he can be adopted with a sibling!) to help him navigate the big world and fully find his place.

Hi, my name is Zulu. My three sibs and I were rescued from a garage when we were four months old. We were dirty, full of fleas, and very scared. We came to SBACC, where we were all cleaned up and defleaed. We are now ready to find our forever homes. We are very playful and curious but still kinda shy with people we do not know. I am the shyest one of my litter. We need each other for comfort, so we really need to go home in pairs. You can see all four of us piled into one cubby in one of the pics.

Hi, my name is Zebo. My three sibs and I were rescued from a garage when we were four months old. We were dirty, full of fleas, and very scared. We came to SBACC, where we were all cleaned up and defleaed. We are now ready to find our forever homes. We are very playful and curious but still kinda shy with people we do not know. Zaid and I look alike, and we are a bit more outgoing than Zira and Zulu. However, we still need each other for comfort, so we really need to go home in pairs. You can see all four of us piled into one cubby in one of the pics.

Hi, my name is Crosby. I had a home and was left behind when my person moved. I was rescued from the roof of a nearby home and brought to SBACC. I was full of fleas and very skinny, with some missing patches of fur and burns on my paw pads. Now that I am safe and getting lots of good food, I feel a lot better. I definitely need to gain a few pounds. Despite all this, I am a sweet, friendly boy who enjoys attention. I hope to find a home where I will be safe and loved forever.
