Senior (9 years 5 months) · Female · Tabby (short coat) · 15 mi from Milpitas






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!

14. Pipa
Young (10 months) · Female · Tabby (short coat) · 15 mi from Milpitas





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.

15. Teddy
Adult (4 years 7 months) · Male · Exotic Shorthair (short coat) · 12 mi from Milpitas





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.

16. Orange Juice
Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 8 mi from Milpitas



Like any orange boy, OJ has a penchant for mischief. He's starved for affection, and for food. He'll never say no to wet food, and will immediately sniff out your snacks. Because he's only recently learned to live in a home, OJ has an occasional habit of sometimes urinating on soft surfaces like beds despite being litter box trained. Will need a prepared adopter ready to address this issue if needed. He needs some reassurance and patience, but once he's settled in and gets to know you, he enjoys taking up space on your lap or by your side. Orange Juice (OJ) and his mate Clementine belonged to a small group of sociable stray cats in my neighborhood.
Read more about Orange Juice
They'd sleep and play around the children's playground structure in front of my house. Because the HOA does not allow for residents to be seen feeding them, they were not allowed to stay as community cats and were at risk of having Animal Control being called to capture and likely euthanize them. OJ is likely a father, and has at least 2 other orange kittens that had already been adopted by a fellow neighbor. He'd occasionally go to visit them by peeking through the neighbors screen door. For anybody interested in adopting him - this would be a great friendship opportunity with the other cat owners so that this small group of cats could stay connected. He needs some reassurance and patience, but once he's settled in and gets to know you, he enjoys taking up space on your lap or by your side. Gets along great with other cats, and doesn't enjoy being alone. Orange Juice is currently living in Union City, CA 94587 For more information & an online application go to https://www.peninsulacatworks.org/adoption/cat.php?id=2320 [ts=1793257240&src=rg]

Young (4 months 11 days) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 25 mi from Milpitas


Teddy’s name describes him perfectly. He’s a sweet, cuddly, loving kitten. He’s always been quick to open up to strangers. He’s confident and loves to explore and play. He loves cuddles, pets, and treats!
Most of the time Teddy’s love language is physical touch, and he’ll choose cuddles over a treat. The rest of the time, he’ll definitely go for the treat!
Read more about Teddy
Teddy has a sister named Tink, whom he loves to play with, and who is also just as loving and loyal. Most kittens from the cat colony Teddy was rescued from tend to be scared and run away, but Teddy has always been curious. The best way to describe his view of the world is rainbows and sunshine, trusting that humans will be good to him.
Teddy is a friendly and independent kitten. He would do well being adopted with his sister Tink or his best buddy Romeo, from another litter.
Teddy was born approximately June 1, 2026. He has been fixed, is litter box trained, has received flea treatment, has been dewormed, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. Teddy would do well with gentle children; no dogs please.

22. Grey
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 8 mi from Milpitas




Meet Grey, a truly extraordinary feline with extra toes and an extra big heart! Grey is a polydactyl kitty—yes, she boasts six adorable toes on her paws—and she uses every single one of them to steal the hearts of everyone she meets. If you are looking for a world-class snuggler, Grey is your girl. She is exceptionally affectionate and lives for human connection. Her favorite activities include cuddling up close, purring like a tiny motor, making enthusiastic biscuits with her multi-toed paws, and sleeping right by your side every single night. Grey isn't just a total cuddle bug; she’s also a bright, playful soul.
Read more about Grey
Exceptionally smart, she has an uncanny ability to understand human emotions and language, often tuning into your voice and routine like a sweet little shadow. When she isn't busy soaking up love or keeping you company, she’s happily engaging in playtime or making friends—she gets along wonderfully with other cats and thrives in a friendly, interactive environment. Grey’s journey began this past July in a North San Jose parking lot. She wandered into a managed colony of fixed cats, clearly looking for a little help. When rescuers trapped her for TNR, a vigilant caregiver noticed her paw was bleeding right before her release. Plans changed instantly—she went home with her foster mom to heal and see if indoor life suited her. It turns out, home life suits her brilliantly! Behind those initial street-cat nerves, this sweet four-month-old revealed a remarkably affectionate, purr-heavy heart and a playful side that keeps her foster family entertained. With her charming personality, Grey could potentially fit in any home. Grey is a special polydactyl kitten who was born with extra toes on all four paws! One extra toe on her hind paw grew downward, which kept her foot from resting flat and meant she had to walk on her tiptoes or the side of her paw. Thanks to the incredible team at Peninsula Catworks, Grey had surgery to safely remove the problematic toe. She sailed through her recovery, and today she’s running, jumping, and playing just like any other happy kitten! Grey is currently living in San Jose, CA 95131 Please note:Grey is polydactyl.

Dinho and Mia are an adorable tuxedo pair of siblings. They look identical until you notice that Dinho has the cutest one spot on his nose.
Mia (pink collar) is a sweet girl who's come a long way. She is a bit shyer than her brother but once comfortable she loves settling in beside you to watch TV. She's very playful. Just hand her one toy and she's good to go. And her absolute weakness, temptation treats. If you've got those, you've got her heart.

Dinho (red collar) is a lover boy. Once he's comfortable, his fun side comes out, and he loves to play, especially wrestling and play fighting with his sister. Watching the two of them chase each other around is bound to make you smile.
He will allow you to hold him and give him pets.. and he will purr up a storm when you do.
Rescued from a yard in Portola Valley, these two are ready for their new family to take them home.
These kittens do well around other cats and dogs too!

Young (6 months) · Female · Tabby (short coat) · 15 mi from Milpitas






Born March 28, 2029
Spayed, Microchipped & Up to date on vaccines
Negative for FIV/FeLV/Heartworm
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.
Read more about Ruby
Under the sparkle, she is remarkably chill about real life. Sounds and music do not faze her. When the vacuum comes out, she hops onto the cat tree and treats it like entertainment. She loves being brushed and handles a busy household with easy confidence. She is curious about other cats, polite when she says hello, and good at doing her own thing. 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.

Born: 03/28/26
Neutered
Microchipped
Up to date on vaccines
Neg for FIV/FeLv/Heartworm
Ron walked into the world already sure of himself. He was the confident little alpha of the litter, and once he decided humans were worth befriending, everyone else followed his lead. That same easy confidence is still his trademark.
His days are built around play.
Read more about Ron
Laser dots, wand toys, and automatic toys all get the full treatment, and zoomies are a daily event, sometimes hourly. He will follow you from room to room just for the chance to join in, and a bag of freeze-dried minnows turns him into a devoted shadow. Leave an unseasoned piece of steak unattended and he will help himself.
All that energy comes with surprisingly good household manners. He is used to music and everyday noise, and when the vacuum comes out he hops onto the cat tree and watches the show. He loves being brushed and handles a busy home with total ease. In foster care he has lived with other cats and dogs, says a polite hello, then reads the room and does his own thing.
Ron is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and has been healthy and thriving from the start. He would love a home that can keep up with his play style and enjoy the show.

30. Domino
Kitten (5 months 15 days) · Female · Tuxedo (short coat) · 15 mi from Milpitas






Name: Domino
Date of Birth 4/15/2026
Sex: F
FIV/FELV neg / neg
Domino is as sweet as they come. This gentle, cuddly girl is looking for
nothing more than to be your devoted companion. It's hard to believe
she was once a feral kitten, given how affectionate she is now.
She's a lovely tuxedo with medium-length fur, a pink nose, a long
fluffy tail, and delightfully wispy ear hairs. Dom is polite, but
she's not shy about letting you know she loves you - sometimes her
purr motor kicks in from nothing more than a friendly glance her way.
She may be a little slower to warm up than her brother Blackjack, but
Read more about Domino
once she does, she's the one who'll snuggle in closest and stay there.
Good things come to those who wait.
Domino and her brother would be a wonderful packaged deal. They play
together, look out for each other, and even sleep nose to nose. Adopt
them as a pair and you'll have double the love (and double the
purring) in your home.
She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines. Fill out our adoption questionnaire so you can meet her and learn more.

Adopting a cat with children in Milpitas
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.
