13. Binx
Adult (2 months 15 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 41 mi from Patterson


Binx is an adorable, neutered 10-week-old black domestic shorthair kitten who is affectionate to the point of being delightfully annoying. He always wants to be wherever you are, and the second you touch him, the purring begins.
This little guy is full of kitten energy and loves to play, especially with other cats. He wrestles regularly with the resident cat and would love a feline playmate in his forever home. He also co-exists happily with the resident 50-pound dog, so he's proven he can handle a big personality (and a big housemate) with ease.
Read more about Binx
Binx has a great appetite and a voice to match. He's vocal enough to let you know when he wants food or love, and he's not shy about asking for either.
If you're looking for a sweet, social shadow who will follow you from room to room and purr the whole way, Binx is ready to be your guy. A home with another playful cat would make him extra happy.

14. Charlemagne
Adult (3 years 1 month) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 41 mi from Patterson




Charlemagne is a handsome, neutered 3-year-old domestic shorthair with a big personality and even bigger energy. He's current on all vaccinations, and his vet records are ready to go. He's curious, busy, and playful, and he's looking for a home with plenty of room to roam, run, and explore.
Read more about Charlemagne
This guy lives for time with his people. He greets his human every morning with a run to the bed for pets and purrs, follows along to the bathroom, and has been known to play in the bathtub. When someone walks past his "play position," he zooms right over, because he knows it's wand toy time. He can jump about five feet in the air, so he's an athlete as well as a charmer. When he's ready to recharge, you might find him snoozing under the bed covers or tucked into a cardboard box.
Charlemagne's current apartment is simply too small for all that energy, and his family believes it's the reason behind a few frustration habits, like shredding paper and knocking things over. With more space, daily play, and plenty of enrichment, they expect these to fade.
Charlemagne would do best as the only cat in a spacious home with an adopter who is experienced with high-energy cats and can offer structure, daily playtime, and lots of attention.
Think you can keep up with this athletic, affectionate guy? Come say hello. Charlemagne is ready to bring the zoomies, the purrs, and a whole lot of love to his new home!

Meet Sailor and Moon, 1.5-year-old siblings who are looking for a home together!
Moon is the cuddly one. This sweet boy wants to be right by your side, whether you're on the couch, at your desk, or just walking from room to room. He's playful and loves chasing spring toys, and he's happy to settle into your lap when playtime is over.
Read more about Sailor & Moon
Sailor is a little shy at first. She may hide when you first meet, and that's okay! Give her a bit of time and patience and she'll come out of her shell. Once she's comfortable, she's a curious, playful girl who loves a good game of fetch. Having her brother Moon nearby helps her feel safe, which is exactly why these two should stay together.
Both cats are spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, and litter trained. They're domestic shorthairs, still young and full of energy, with plenty of years of play and cuddles ahead of them.
If you're looking for a pair of playful companions who will keep each other company (and keep you entertained), Sailor and Moon are ready to meet you.
Adopting bonded siblings means double the love, and a lot less loneliness for them while you're out.

17. Gray Paw & White Paw
Adult (5 months 2 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 41 mi from Patterson






Meet Gray Paw & White Paw: A Bonded Sister Duo Looking for Their Forever Home
Read more about Gray Paw & White Paw
These two five-month-old tabby sisters are a package deal, and once you meet them, you'll understand why. Gray Paw and White Paw were born to a feral mama cat and came into a neighbor's care as tiny kittens. For the past two months, they've been socialized with lots of patience and love, and they've blossomed into sweet, playful girls. Sadly, their current home has territorial resident cats, so it's time for these sisters to find a place of their own. Both girls are spayed, and White Paw is also vaccinated, microchipped, and litter box trained. They must be adopted together.
Gray Paw is a gray tabby with a thoughtful, observant nature. She's a little shy and aloof when she first meets you, and she likes to take her time sizing up new people and new toys. But once she warms up, her sweet side shines through. She'll happily roll onto her back for belly scratches, offer a soft purr, and let out adorable trills when she's excited. Wand toys are her absolute favorite, and she has a curious streak that makes every new toy an adventure. Gray Paw will thrive with a patient adopter who can gently help her continue to come out of her shell.
White Paw is a brown and gray tabby with a mellow, easygoing personality and a motor that never seems to stop. She's a true purring machine and loves to chat with trills and short meows, so expect plenty of conversation. She adores physical contact, from leg rubs to belly scratches, and she's just as enthusiastic about wand toys and anything new to explore. She's also a bit of a greedy eater who gets very excited when you walk in with food. White Paw shows her sweetest self once she trusts you, and she's already well on her way.
Together, this pair balances each other beautifully. White Paw's friendly, outgoing charm can help ease Gray Paw into new situations, while Gray Paw's playful curiosity keeps both sisters entertained. They'd do best in a patient, loving home where they can keep each other company and grow in confidence. If you're looking for two affectionate, playful companions who come with a built-in best friend, Gray Paw and White Paw are ready to meet you.

18. Dice
Kitten (1 month 17 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 41 mi from Patterson



❤️ MEET DICE: THE LITTLE KITTEN WHO WAS LEFT BEHIND ❤️
Read more about Dice
Imagine being a tiny kitten, alone in a schoolyard, crying day after day, hoping your mama would come back. That is how little Dice's story began. This precious black-and-white boy was reportedly found in a schoolyard, where he had been crying for days. His mother had apparently moved his siblings to safety, but for reasons we will never know, Dice was left behind. He waited and cried, but no one came back for him. By the time he was rescued, Dice was desperately hungry, struggling, and in need of care. Instead of being curled up safely beside his mother and siblings, this tiny boy had been fighting to survive all alone. Thankfully, someone finally heard his cries and gave him the chance he so desperately needed. ❤️ Dice's story may have started with heartbreak, but we want it to end with love. This sweet little boy deserves a home where he will never have to wonder if someone is coming back for him, where his belly will always be full, and where he will always have a warm, safe place to sleep.
Dice spent his earliest days crying for someone to find him. Now he is hoping someone will choose him and love him forever.
Could you be the happy ending this little survivor deserves? ❤️

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.

Read more about Pumpkin & Cheesy
Meet Pumpkin and Cheesy, two 1-year-old orange siblings who have been together since they were found as tiny kittens outside their foster human's home last April. Pumpkin is a big-hearted cuddle buddy with a very loud purr, a love of laps and couch blankets, and a habit of doing parkour off the walls when playtime strikes. Cheesy is a sweet, gentle soul who can be a little shy at first, but blossoms with patience and affection. Once things are quiet, she loves to come out and explore. Both are neutered/spayed with clipped ears from San Jose Animal Care, and will need updated vaccines. These two do best in a calm, quiet home without dogs or other cats, and Cheesy does well with gentle children. If you're looking for a pair of sweet, orange-tabby-colored souls to love, they're ready for their forever home together.
Pumpkin & Cheesy are being cared for by a member of the community. To arrange to meet this cat or find out more, please fill out our application here: https://www.thedancingcat.org/adopt-courtesy

Adopting a cat in Patterson
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.
