4. Moo
Moo and his brother Pepper were born in September of 2025.
They recently moved to a foster home because their family was going through some hardship and can no longer take care of them.
They adjusted to the foster family in just a few days, and they are both super chill, sweet, and affectionate! They are friendly towards everyone in the household, adults and teens, and are even brave enough to say hi to family visitors!
Read more about Moo
Moo took a bit longer to warm up, but once he did, he is pure love. He is easy going, chill most of the time, finds random cat toys around the house to keep himself entertained. He will also come and jump on your lap and purr and enjoy a cuddle session a few times a day.
They are both very gentle,
not picky with their food, and are litter box trained.

Adopting a cat in San Martin
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.
