His squishy coat of extra luxe grey and white fluffiness is more picture-perfect than the cutest onesie, and makes him purrfectly dressed for all the holding and cuddling that are his most favorite thing! That pouty little sugar-dipped smile is designed to keep the snuggles coming! He won’t keep you up at night and takes excellent care of his grooming needs all by himself, but ignore him too long and, like a typical “little”, he may use his words to request an overdue hug! Playtimes with his fostermates are especially fun with little cloth toys and anything that rolls, but he’ll even make do with fluffing and patting your hair!

29. Pipa

Young (10 months) · Female · Tabby (short coat) · 91 mi from Merced

Meet Pipa – The Mama of Every Heart

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?

Pipa must be adopted into a home with other kittens or a playful cat. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines.

30. Teddy

Adult (4 years 7 months) · Male · Exotic Shorthair (short coat) · 79 mi from Merced

Meet Teddy!

Teddy is a 4.5-year-old neutered male Exotic Shorthair looking for his forever home.

He may be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and becomes a sweet, affectionate companion. He’s a smart little guy who loves having people around and isn’t shy about meowing when he wants attention. He has his own way of communicating with us, and it’s pretty adorable!

Because of his tiny nose, softer food can be easier for him to eat, although he definitely shows interest in dry food, too.

Teddy would love a home where he gets lots of love, attention, and company.

Read more about Teddy

One important note: we don’t recommend Teddy for a home with a history of cat allergies, as we want to avoid putting him or his future family through that uncertainty.

If you think Teddy might be the one for you, please help us learn more about you and your household by filling out our online application: www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeow. Let’s find this sweet boy the loving forever home he deserves.

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
