Long-Haired Cats for Adoption in Merced, CA: 25 Fluffy Cats Looking for a Home

If you’re ready to give these joyful little kittens a home together, contact their sponsor, Marilyn, at marileealong@comcast.net, or their foster, Nicole, at (925) 980-8126. Located in Contra Costa County, CA.

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?

Contact Kay at 925-408-5249 or kericksonttt@yahoo.com. They are being fostered by Caroline in Contra Costa County, CA.

Parklet is a curious little soul who likes to keep tabs on the world around her. New sights, interesting objects, and mysterious goings on all deserve a closer inspection. She's the kind of kitten who wants to know what's happening, investigate for herself, and make sure no exciting development goes unexplored.

And then there's the floof. Her medium length coat gives her an extra fluffy appearance, but her truly outstanding features are those whiskers for days and her impressive ear furnishings. Those ears look like they belong to a distinguished older gentleman who has strong opinions about the thermostat and remembers when treats cost a nickel.

Of course, Parklet is still very much a kitten. Beneath that distinguished exterior is a curious little girl who's just beginning to discover the world and all the fun it has to offer. She's equal parts adorable and entertaining, with the kind of face that makes it very difficult to get anything done when she's nearby.

Personality Highlights

Curious Investigator: Wants to know what's happening and will happily conduct her own thorough inspections.

Whisker Wonder: Possesses an absolutely magnificent set of whiskers that deserve their own introduction.

Grandpa Ear Floof: Those fluffy ears give her the distinguished look of a tiny feline professor.

Tuxedo Sweetheart: Beautifully dressed for every occasion, even when the occasion is knocking something off a table.

Loves

Exploring new spaces and investigating interesting things
Being adorable without even trying
Showing off her spectacular whiskers and ear floof
Playing and discovering new kitten adventures
Finding cozy places to observe the household happenings

Not a Fan Of

Mysterious objects she hasn't had a chance to investigate yet
Being expected to sit still when there's something interesting happening
Anyone suggesting that her ears are anything less than magnificent

Ideal Home

Parklet would thrive in:

A loving home where she has plenty of opportunities to explore
A family that appreciates a curious kitten with a big personality
A home with toys, cozy resting spots, and lots of interesting things to investigate
People who understand that adopting Parklet means accepting a lifetime of admiring her whiskers

Interested?

Parklet is a little tuxedo masterpiece with the whiskers of a Victorian gentleman, the ears of a wise old grandpa, and the curiosity of a kitten who hasn't yet met a mystery she doesn't want to solve.

She's ready to find a forever home where she can grow, explore, and share her adorable, fluffy self with the people lucky enough to love her.

Part of adopting a kitten is watching their wonderful personalities develop, and Parklet is just getting started. One thing is already certain: those whiskers and that grandpa ear floof are going to be unforgettable.

Part of adopting a kitten is recognizing that they are babies, and you will get to see firsthand how their wonderful natures develop!

Prior to adoption, all kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. Kittens under 5 months old must be adopted with a buddy or into a house where there's a kitten-friendly pet.

This kitten is currently in a foster home. To meet this kitten, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

June Bug has bloomed into a beautiful healthy kitten, a large contrast to her early days. June was rescued with her 4 siblings from dangerous conditions and her chances at survival were very slim as she was severely malnourished with respiratory infections. June Bug’s tenacity is what gave the rescuer the confidence to preserve with her. She is happy and healthy and ready for adoption.

Because June B is social she will need to be in a home with other friendly, playful cats or adopted with a sibling.

She is spayed, microchipped, & up to date on her vaccines.

At around 7 weeks old, Clawdia and her siblings were safely brought into rescue and began learning what life as an indoor kitten was all about.

And Clawdia is catching on quickly.

After spending her earliest weeks outdoors, so many things inside a home were completely new to her. Strange noises, unfamiliar objects, toys, beds, and all the everyday things we barely notice were brand-new experiences.

At first, Clawdia might stop and study something unfamiliar before deciding whether it is safe.

But curiosity usually wins.

Every day she becomes more confident, more comfortable, and more convinced that indoor life is exactly where she belongs.

Clawdia is

friendly, playful, curious, and loves people

. She enjoys racing around with her siblings, chasing toys, exploring tunnels, climbing into boxes, and finding new adventures wherever she can.

She is currently being raised in a foster home with

older kids

, helping her become comfortable with the normal sounds, movement, and activity of family life.

Clawdia may have started out as a little backyard kitten, but that is only the beginning of her story.

Now she has warm beds, plenty of food, toys to chase, people who adore her, and the chance to grow up knowing what it feels like to be safe.

There is only one thing missing.

A forever family of her very own.

Could Clawdia, with her fluffy gray-and-white tuxedo coat and tiny white socks, be the little girl who turns your house into her forever home?

Soft blankets.

Toys that mysteriously move across the floor.

Beds that are apparently made specifically for napping.

And humans who keep showing up with food and affection.

Snapple is taking it all in.

Even though she spent her earliest weeks outside, she has quickly shown us that

she really likes people

. She is friendly, playful, curious, and loves joining her siblings for a good kitten wrestling match or chasing toys around the room.

Every once in a while, something unfamiliar inside the house will make her stop and think,

Wait... what is THAT?

But Snapple is a fast learner.

Each day she becomes a little braver, a little more confident, and a lot more convinced that this whole indoor-cat thing is actually a pretty great deal.

She is also being raised in a foster home with older

kids

, helping her become familiar with the everyday sounds, movement, and activity that come with family life.

And then there are the looks.

With her gorgeous medium

gray and white coat

, Snapple is going to be an absolutely stunning cat as she grows. But underneath all that fluff is a silly, playful little kitten who is still figuring out just how wonderful her new life can be.

Snapple has already traded the backyard for a foster home.

Now she is ready to trade foster care for something even better:

Her very own forever family.

Could you be the person who gets to show Snapple and one of her siblings just how amazing the rest of her life can be?

Your New Best Friend Is Waiting!
Born June 13, 2025, June may be the little sister of her litter, but she has a BIG personality and a sweet disposition.
June is sweet, nurturing, playful, and wonderfully outgoing. She loves people, makes friends easily, and has a gentle nature that makes her especially wonderful around kids.

Whether you’re looking for a playful companion, a gentle family cat, or simply a little shadow to brighten your days, June could be your girl. She’s the kind of kitten who has so much love to give and would fit beautifully into almost any home.

Despite reaching out to multiple local shelters, they have all been at capacity, so I am privately rehoming Lokki in hopes of finding him the forever home he deserves. Because of some ongoing medical needs, an indoor home is especially important for his health and quality of life.

Personality
Lokki is incredibly calm, affectionate, and easy to handle. He quickly warmed up to me, allowing me to pet him, pick him up, brush him, wipe his eyes, touch his paws, and even give him medication without much fuss. He's a chatty boy who isn't shy about sharing his opinions with a few meows! Whenever I'm outside in the yard or garage, he'll happily settle down nearby just to keep me company. He loves meeting new people and greets them by rubbing against their legs in search of pets. He's also litter box trained and, because of his urinary condition, will do best with at least two litter boxes.

Medical Needs
Lokki has a history of urinary crystals and a urinary blockage, which are common issues in male cats. He'll need to eat primarily wet food and always have access to plenty of fresh water. Keeping his stress low, providing environmental enrichment, and encouraging good hydration are all important parts of helping him stay healthy. With the right care, many cats with urinary issues go on to live happy, comfortable lives.

If you'd like to learn more about Lokki or schedule a meet-and-greet, please contact Angelique at angeliqueadams22@gmail.com.

Lucy loves to brushed and pet. She is also a wonderful lap cat.
Lucy is incredibly people-oriented and loves being near her humans. Her signature move is the Welcome Home Belly Flop™. Leave the room and come back? Belly flop. Come home from work? Belly flop. Walk by and say hello? Another belly flop. It’s her adorable way of showing how happy she is to see you.
She gets the occasional case of the zoomies, loves sleeping near her people, and is always happy to accept attention.
Lucy does have one important request: she’d like to be your one and only cat. Other cats make her uncomfortable, and she’ll be happiest in a home without feline roommates.
If you’re looking for a beautiful cat with a big personality, a loving heart, and a knack for making you feel like the most important person in the world, Lucy is ready to meet you.

Moonlight is incredibly snuggly and affectionate. She is highly food-motivated (treats are her love language!), and she shows her appreciation with dramatic, happy flops the second you start petting her. Shell settle right beside you, purring deeply while making biscuits non-stop pure contentment in cat form.

One of her favorite pastimes is proudly carrying around her beloved pickle toy like a trophy. She does wonderfully with other cats and would thrive in a home with feline siblings or as an only cat whichever fits your family best.

At just 2 years old, she still has plenty of playful energy but clearly prefers the cozy indoor life of snuggles, soft beds, and reliable meals.

Medical: Spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines.

After providing her top notch medical care, her echo-cardiogram showed that she was born with an enlarged heart. Controlled by daily medication, her vet assures us she can live a long, healthy life. Upon adoption, all medical records will be provided. She is easy going when taking her oral meds of a diuretic and anti-blood clotting meds.
Her official diagnosis is Congenital Mitral Dysplasia with Tachypnea/Respiratory effort. She takes her medication easily every day and is doing very well on them.
