1. Milo
Handsome Milo is the total package. This gray and white teenage boy looks like a Maine Coon, with a fluffy neck ruff and tail plume. and a chill, easy-going demeanor. Milo loves attention and affection, but he is not needy or demanding. When he is not cuddling with you he is always up for a session of chase the ball, toy mouse, or feather toy. Milo and his slender orange brother Miko couldn't look more different, but they get along so well. These brothers share a bond, and pretty much everything-- games, food, treats, their beds-- so that we hope they will find a home together.

2. Purrseus
You would have a hard time finding a teenage cat as sweet, affectionate and stunningly handsome as Purrseus. Unless Purrseus had a twin brother...which he does! Not an ordinary brother, Gemini is a twin who looks so identical that it can be hard to tell them apart. Purrseus is a just bit braver and more outgoing, so is the first to investigate new things like toys, and will be the first to make friends with new people. Gemini is cautious but not far behind, and quickly joins his brother in playful games or your lap. These gorgeous boys were born to a homeless feral mama cat living on the streets.
Read more about Purrseus
But they decided early that they were lovers-not-fighters. They were always together and shared everything. Fortunately a kind woman started feeding the mama-cat and kittens and she called for help getting all of them spayed and neutered. But Purr and Gem were so friendly we say that we didn't trap them... they trapped themselves! And at the same time they trapped our hearts with their calm, friendly manners. Now these boys are enjoying everything about life in a caring foster home, and they are ready to share double-the-fun with you. Neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV/FHW, microchipped. Please note:Purrseus should be adopted with a littermate For more information & an online application go to https://www.communitycatrescue.org/adoption/cat.php?id=1658&ts=1793257231&src=rg

3. Shiloh
Sugar and Shiloh are oh-so-sweet (hence the name Sugar) siblings who are ready to take over your lap and give you lots of love and purrs. They were found, abandoned by their cat-mama, in a backyard in Los Altos. Fortunately bright white kittens are hard to miss, so a kind homeowner began feeding them and called for help in getting them ready for adoption. Both kittens were exceedingly calm and gentle right off the street, but were a little shy about their new environment. However they adjusted quickly and are exceedingly well-behaved and super-affectionate. Sugar and Shiloh are perfect for a work-at-home life, because they have been "helping" their foster-mom while she works in her home office.
Read more about Shiloh
That help includes keeping her lap warm while she is on zoom calls, playing quietly with each other when she is concentrating on a deadline, and "assisting" with yoga stretches and meditation when she takes a break. In addition to their calm and loving personalities, Sugar and Shiloh are beautiful, with that very unusual white coat with just a few gray markings; just a gray "cap" and tail. They are extremely bonded so must be adopted together. They would probably prefer a quiet home but would be fine with older children. Spayed/neutered, tested, microchipped, FVRCP vaccinated, and treated for fleas and worms. Please note:Shiloh should be adopted with a littermate For more information & an online application go to https://www.communitycatrescue.org/adoption/cat.php?id=1628&ts=1793257231&src=rg

4. Tessa
Lovely tortoiseshell color Tessa is an outgoing, confident and VERY smart young girl. Born homeless on the street, she quickly figured out how to make friends and influence people, particularly the people that could help her. That included a trapper who was trying to trap the cats to get them spayed...Tessa just walked into the trap before it was even set! In her foster home Tessa still plays like a kitten, with a kitten's energy. She is probably making up for her deprived kittenhood when she had to worry about survival and had no opportunity to just play. Her favorite game is pounce-jump-hunt the play mouse dangling on a pole, but she will hunt any toy that moves.
Read more about Tessa
She also enjoys cuddling with her foster parents and sleeping with them at night. That might not be important now, but when the weather gets cold again, she is bedwarmer that doesn't end up on your utility bill. Tessa has a clean bill of health: spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV and treated for fleas and parasites. She is ready to join you for some summer fun!

Meet Flemeth!
Flemeth is a beautiful senior girl, approximately 9 years old, with a calm, independent personality and a story of resilience. After her longtime caregiver was displaced, Flemeth was left behind and sadly experienced abuse at the hands of neighbors. Thankfully, she was rescued and brought into our care, where she has been learning what it means to feel safe and loved.
Read more about Flemeth
Flemeth is a gentle, low-maintenance companion who enjoys a peaceful environment and the freedom to do things at her own pace. She expresses affection in her own quiet way, preferring peaceful companionship over constant attention. As she has grown more comfortable in foster care, she has begun accepting gentle pets in her favorite cozy spots and showing increasing curiosity about the people around her. She also enjoys quietly exploring her surroundings, especially when she thinks nobody is watching!
One thing Flemeth absolutely adores is food, especially Churu treats! This sweet, toothless lady can always be persuaded to leave her favorite cozy spot for a tasty treat. She also enjoys the company of other cats and has a playful side that comes out when she feels comfortable.
Flemeth is looking for a patient, understanding adopter who will appreciate her independent nature and allow her to build trust at her own pace. She would make a wonderful companion for someone who finds joy in providing a safe, peaceful home and watching a once-frightened cat gradually blossom. After everything she has endured, Flemeth deserves a loving indoor home where she can finally enjoy the comfort, security, and kindness she has always deserved.
Could you be the person who gives Flemeth her happily ever after? Please complete an adoption application with Pink Paws for the Cause to be considered for adopting this special girl!

If love had a face, it would be Pipa’s. Born 11/25/25
Pipa is, without a doubt, the most loving and gentle foster kitty we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We have never even heard her hiss! She has the sweetest soul and a heart big enough for absolutely everyone. Every time a new foster kitty arrives, Pipa is right there to welcome them. She is everybody’s mama, and she takes that job very seriously!
Read more about Pipa
She’s the mama to our 110-pound foster dog, the mama to our 15-year-old boy, and the little guardian angel who comes running whenever someone is getting into trouble, as if to say, “Hey, hey! Leave them alone! They didn’t mean it!”
Pipa loves nothing more than cuddling up with her humans for a cozy movie night. She’ll be waiting to greet you when you come home, and wherever you go, you can be sure she’ll want to know what you’re doing. She likes to be part of everything! And don't let all that motherly love fool you — Pipa also loves to play and has a fun, playful side that makes her even more wonderful.
Pipa does have chronic sniffles, which means she’ll likely have some sniffles and sneezes for the rest of her life. It’s simply part of her, and it doesn't take away from the enormous amount of love she has to give.
Now, this special girl deserves something just as beautiful as the love she gives everyone else: a forever family of her very own. A family who will welcome her into their hearts, cherish her gentle nature, enjoy movie-night cuddles, and let her be the loving little mama she was born to be.
If you're looking for a kitty who will greet you at the door, follow you around, keep you company, make you laugh, and fill your home with unconditional love, Pipa might just be your girl.
She has spent so much time being everyone else's mama. Isn't it time someone became hers?

Great with kids, cats and dogs!
Ruby is pure joy in kitten form. She is all-in on play, chasing laser dots, batting wand toys, attacking automatic toys across the room, and staging wrestling matches whenever a playmate is around. Zoomies are part of the daily routine, and she wants you right in the middle of it. Follow her from room to room and she will follow you right back.
Flash a bag of freeze-dried minnows and you have her full attention. She is also not above claiming an unseasoned bite of steak if you look away for a second.

She has shared a foster home with cats and dogs and fits right in.
Ruby is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and has been healthy and thriving since the beginning. She is ready for a home that likes high-energy play and a cat who wants to be part of it.

To meet our rescued cats/kitten: we ask that you fill out an adoption application first. Once you submit an application, a volunteer will contact you. All of our kitties are in foster homes; some can be seen at the foster homes, or at an upcoming Adoption Fair. We ask for your understanding: We are an all-volunteer organization and many of us have full-time jobs outside of our volunteer activities; therefore, it may be a few days before someone can respond to your email. We always try to reply as soon as possible.The kitties are for adoption, not for sale. Adoption fee for kittens is $125 ($200 for two) to help cover some of our food and veterinary expenses. All cats and kittens are: vaccinated as appropriate for their age microchipped dewormed deflead tested for FELV (feline leukemia) / FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) spayed/neutered prior to adoption We will ask you some questions about your home and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Adopting a kitty is a long-term commitment; the average life span for a kitty is 15-20 years. Most of our cats are in foster homes with other cats. They get lonely and bored without the company of their own kind, just like people. We try to place cats that enjoy the company of other cats in a home where there is feline companionship. But we do have many cats that would be happy to be the only cat in your life! Regardless of how an animal comes to us, we provide food, shelter, and medical care.

How to adopt from Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA
When a potential adopter comes into the shelter and sees an animal he or she is interested in adopting, we ask the potential adopter to first complete an Adoption Profile. 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. Adopters must also be 18 or older.

Adopting a cat in Menlo Park
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.
