Personality
Darrow is basically the purfect kitten:Friendly, outgoing, playful and affectionate, Darrow loves nothing more than playing with his sister Virginia, followed by some quality lap time with his favorite people.Darrow likes to be right where the action is. He loves following his foster family around the house to see what everyone is up to and is eager to be part of whatever you are doing--wheter invited to supervise or not. Sometimes he's so enthusiastic about being included that he ends up right underfoot.One of Darrow's most endearing qualities is his almost constant purring. In fact, if he is out of sight, his foster family simply follows the sound of his purr to find him.Darrow absolutely adores his twin sister Virginia, and the two have a wonderful time playing, exploring, keeping each other company and entertained.

Personality
There is not enough words in the world for this girls personality. Luna is a dog in cat's clothing. She wants to know what is going on at all times, and tends to be fearless. She finds car rides intriguing, she comes out to see what the vacuum is doing, and calmly grooms amidst a pack of screaming pre-teen boys. She needs humans or friend animals who wish to include her in all kinds of adventure and mischief. She will make a most entertaining companion. She also does have a soft side. She loves plush blankets and makes a four-paw biscuit while keeping the blanket trapped gently in her teeth, and is very pleased to cuddle. She will peruse through your business often to get a gentle pet and be off to see more interesting things.

Kitten (2 months 23 days) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 48 mi from Elk Grove

Adopt Lexi & Poppy! Lexi and Poppy have two different mamas, but one shared love of companionship. The first day they met, they bonded and became instant besties, with endless purrs.

Lexi (female, long-haired black with a bit of smoky grey, born 8/9/26) went for a few wild rides underneath vehicles after seeking warmth on a couple of cold nights. She was miraculously unharmed but slightly terrified, and she quickly transformed into a social, loving kitten with silky soft fur.

Kitten (4 months 3 days) · Male · Domestic Long Hair / Bombay · 48 mi from Elk Grove

Adopt Squeakie (m) and Sweetie (f!) Born on 6/20/26, Squeakie and Sweetie are ready for a cuddle puddle with you!

They were found in a Walnut Creek backyard, where their mama brought them each day to be fed, and they would watch through the glass door asking for the soft inside life. They had early interaction with humans, so they love attention and being held. They are curious, bright, very trusting kittens with magnificent glossy black coats and golden soulful eyes.

Sweetie is a true cat's cat. She loves lounging in the window, quietly observing her kingdom. She likes you to come to her, and when you ask for snuggles, she happily gives them.

Read more about Sweetie and Squeakie

Squeakie brings pure golden retriever energy. He's always ready to chase a ball, and he lives up to his name: he'll squeak at you until you pick him up for love. The moment he's in your arms, those squeaks turn into the loudest purr you've ever heard. He'll curl up in your lap for hours, soaking up every bit of love and attention.

Together they go wild for the feather wand, chasing ribbons, and batting a ball around. But their favorite activity is licking Churu right off your fingers! They do great with kids and other cats, and will probably do well with a cat-friendly dog.

Are these the coolest cats ever? Yes! Squeakie and Sweetie are bonded and adore each other, so need to stay together. Will you be their forever home?

25. Squeakie and Sweetie

Kitten (4 months 3 days) · Male · Domestic Long Hair / Bombay (long coat) · 48 mi from Elk Grove

Adopt Squeakie (m) and Sweetie (f!) Born on 6/20/26, Squeakie and Sweetie are ready for a cuddle puddle with you!

They were found in a Walnut Creek backyard, where their mama brought them each day to be fed, and they would watch through the glass door asking for the soft inside life. They had early interaction with humans, so they love attention and being held. They are curious, bright, very trusting kittens with magnificent glossy black coats and golden soulful eyes.

Sweetie is a true cat's cat. She loves lounging in the window, quietly observing her kingdom. She likes you to come to her, and when you ask for snuggles, she happily gives them.

Read more about Squeakie and Sweetie

Squeakie brings pure golden retriever energy. He's always ready to chase a ball, and he lives up to his name: he'll squeak at you until you pick him up for love. The moment he's in your arms, those squeaks turn into the loudest purr you've ever heard. He'll curl up in your lap for hours, soaking up every bit of love and attention.

Together they go wild for the feather wand, chasing ribbons, and batting a ball around. But their favorite activity is licking Churu right off your fingers! They do great with kids and other cats, and will probably do well with a cat-friendly dog.

Are these the coolest cats ever? Yes! Squeakie and Sweetie are bonded and adore each other, so need to stay together. Will you be their forever home?

27. Huffle Puff

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Russian Blue (short coat) · 48 mi from Elk Grove

Looking for a kitten with beauty, brains, and a touch of mystery? Meet Huffle Puff!
Born on March 4, 2026, this beautiful all-gray kitten's elegant looks might remind you of a tiny Russian Blue princess. Beneath her silvery coat is a sensitive soul who takes life at her own pace.
Gentle and observant, she watches the world from the top of the cat tree or a cozy spot before jumping in.
Once she settles in, you'll discover a sweet girl who loves the simple comforts of life: a plush bed, a warm sunbeam in the window, and playtime that includes feather wand toys and chasing small objects through her favorite cat tunnel.
She's not the type to demand attention, but she has a way of sneaking into your heart just as softly as she sneaks in for cuddles.
With patience and playful interaction, she'll reward you with gentle companionship, quiet affection, and plenty of cozy moments together.☀️

Read more about Phoebe

Physical Description
Phoebe has white colored feet which makes her look like she is wearing UGG boots everyday :) Her white fur is also on her belly and goes up to her neck and all the way to the bottom of her mouth. She loves belly and chin scratches! She has a very soft coat of fur and is made of mostly greyish/brown with black stripes. It looks very cool!

Personality
Phoebe has a great personality and loves to play with dogs when she gets to know them. She grew up with another cat before we adopted her and was buddies with that cat as well. She is a little on the small side for a domestic short hair cat. She has "white boots" on all 4 paws with a white belly and chest, all the way up her neck and under her mouth. She loves belly rubs, sleeping under a blanket (sometimes at your feet) and she loves to snuggle in between your legs for warmth. She is a talker when she sees it is feeding time!!! You will hear her cute little squeak of a meow, and I have taught her to sit. She has now started to stand on her hind legs and paw at her food. Sometimes she will paw gently at your leg, telling you to put her food down :) Phoebe is in great health. Her diet consists of a combination of wet and dry food. We feed her twice a day. We give her one plastic spoonful of wet food and 1/3 cup of dry food.

Two Kittens. Double the Trouble. Double the Fun!
Meet Weston and Snowy, the two adorable kittens still looking for their forever homes!
Weston — tabby and white boy and the undisputed personality winner! Weston has the kind of personality that makes people fall in love with him within about 30 seconds.
Snowy — beautiful Siamese girl with all the charm you'd expect from a Siamese! She's a sweet, playful little girl who loves interacting with her people.
Both kittens are affectionate, playful, and convinced the world was created for their entertainment!
At this age, kittens need a feline friend to wrestle with, chase, groom, and snuggle up with in a kitten pile. Weston and Snowy would love to be adopted together, or separately if there's already a similarly aged, playful kitten in the home.
Ready for zoomies, purring, cuddles, and a whole lot of kitten entertainment? These two are ready to steal your heart!

Adopting a cat with children in Elk Grove

Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.

Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
