1. Ebi & Wasabi

Kitten (3 months 17 days) · Female · Tabby (short coat) · 17 mi from San Mateo

Meet Wasabi and Ebi,
Born in July 8, 2026, these orange kittens are playful, curious, and remarkably gentle. Raised together in a loving foster home, they’ve grown up as a true team and would love to stay that way.

Wasabi (the adventurous brother) is a fearless little explorer. He’s usually the first to check out a new toy, dart into a room, or see what you’re doing. If you enjoy a kitten who brings lively curiosity and energy to every corner of the house, Wasabi is your guy.

Read more about Ebi & Wasabi

Ebi (the sweet homebody) is gentler and more reserved. She takes a little time to warm up to brand-new places or people, but once she feels safe, her affectionate side shines. She loves cozying up for cuddles and settling in for quiet quality time with her favorite humans.

Together they balance each other perfectly—Wasabi brings the spark and Ebi brings the softness. Whether they’re playing side by side or sharing a lap, their bond is clear.Ideal home: Because Ebi thrives in a peaceful setting where she can fully relax, this duo would do best in a calm, gentle household ready to give them the secure, patient home they deserve. Indoor-only, preferably with no young children or high-energy dogs.
The kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on their vaccines. Fill out our adoption questionnaire so you can meet them and learn more.

Read more about Bugsy & Lolita

Bugsy is a fluffy little mischief maker who loves to play fight with just about anyone who moves. If he loses the game, that's the only time you'll hear a complaint. But most of the time, he's too busy being adorable. When playtime ends, he melts into a cuddly ball of fluff, happy to chill nearby. If you're looking for a kitten with both spunk and sweetness, Bugsy's definitely your guy.

Lolita is a sweet chatterbox who always lets you know exactly what she wants when she wants it. Whether it's food, playtime, or cuddles, she'll tell you. Sometimes she even climbs up your leg just to get into your arms even if you're wearing shorts. She loves to follow her people around and play with her 100-pound foster dog buddy. At bedtime she'll snuggle close for cozy cuddles. And when the mood strikes, she is all in for play fighting too. If you're looking for a talkative, affectionate kitten with lots of personality, Lolita is ready to make herself at home with you.

Both kittens are great with other cats, dogs and kids!

4. Frito & Dorito

Young (6 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 4 mi from San Mateo

Bonded pair! Two for one special!

Read more about Frito & Dorito

Hey there, my name is Frito! I am 6 month old, spayed female, gray tabby, domestic shorthair kitty cat who is on the smaller size as I'm still a growing girl. I'm bonded with my brother, Dorito, and together, we're the two coolest cats in town! A little bit about me - I'm an adorable, but slightly nervous gal who is still growing into myself in more ways than one. I can be timid and am cautious around new faces, but have been slowly, but surely, getting more confident and brave. I like to approach people at my own pace and love getting gentle pets as I grow more comfortable around you - my purrs say it all! I also enjoy playtime with a specific affinity for shoelaces and feather toys - it's the simple things in life after all! With all of this being said, I would do best in a very experienced cat household without kids who are willing to provide me with lots of time, understanding and love as I grow into a more confident and self-assured cat that I know I can be. If you think we could learn and grow together, then come on down to the shelter and ask for more information about me. I can't wait to find my furever people!- Frito ID#A0986988

Hiya, my name is Dorito and it's a pleasure to meet you! I am a 6 month old, neutered male, gray tabby, domestic shorthair cat who is looking for his furever family with my sister, Frito! I'm currently on the smaller size as I am still young and growing. Not only am I growing physically, but personality-wise too! I'm a sweet, little guy who can be quite timid, but am on my journey to becoming a more confident cat. Like my sister, I am cautious and can be unsure of new people and environments, but am also hoping to follow in her paw-steps and challenge myself with being a little braver, one step at a time. While physical touch may not be my love language right now, there is still plenty of room for me to warm up to it and in the meantime, I enjoy playing with toys that help me feel more comfortable in my surroundings - love a good feather toy! As mentioned above, my ideal home would be with a very cat-experienced family without children who can be patient with me and understands my needs as I continue to grow into myself. I know that we can build something special and strong together, a bond for life.- Dorito ID#A0986987

5. Champ & Calvin

Kitten (4 months 14 days) · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 17 mi from San Mateo

Born 4/16/26 - Meet Champ and Calvin, an adorable bonded pair of orange brothers looking for their forever home together! Champ is a handsome buff-orange tabby and is pictured wearing the blue collar. Calvin is a classic orange tabby and is pictured without a collar.

These sweet boys were rescued as tiny bottle babies and lovingly hand-raised, so they are incredibly social, confident, and comfortable with people. They love attention, affection, and being involved in whatever their humans are doing. They are playful, curious, and always happy to make new friends.

Read more about Champ & Calvin

Champ and Calvin have been raised in a foster home with other cats, a dog, and even a rabbit. They do wonderfully with people and would likely fit well into a home with other cat-friendly pets with proper introductions.

The boys are neutered, microchipped and up to date on their vaccines.

Because they share such a special bond, Champ and Calvin must be adopted together. They are currently staying at Whiskerwood Haven, where you can schedule a visit to meet them in person:

7. Ebony & Sukkar

Adult (1 year 9 months) · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 4 mi from San Mateo

Bonded pair! Two for one special!

Read more about Ebony & Sukkar

Hi there, my name is Ebony! I am a 1 year old, spayed female, small-sized, domestic shorthair, brown tabby. I'm looking for my forever home with my brother and bestie, Sukkar. I'm a shyer girl who is still finding my way in this big, beautiful world. I'm a gentle soul who just needs some time to adjust to new surroundings and people. One thing I love to do that puts me at ease is perching up next to a window where I can observe and take in the loud and big sights of the world from afar. The sun shining on my face doesn't hurt either! I also have a playful side that comes out from time to time and will probably grow as I spend more time with you. Wand toys and lasers are my toys of choice; I'm a classic girl at the end of the day! And of course, I enjoy head and cheek rubs as I get to know you more. With all of this being said, I'd appreciate going to a family that has some experience with more introverted cats and if kids are present, teenagers and above only. I would do best with a family who can dedicate time and patience to helping me continue to come out of my shell. There's still so much to learn and be and I'm sure you can help me get there. :)- ID#A0986880

Hi everyone, my name is Sukkar! I am also a 1 year old, neutered male, small-sized domestic shorthair, brown tabby. I'm a two for one deal so wherever I'm going, it'll be with my sister, Ebony! I'm also a timid guy and get a bit nervous when meeting new people or being in new environments. Though with time and patience, I'm hoping to grow out of this and become a more confident cat. One fun fact about me is that I'm quite the playful dude and love spending time with wand and feather toys that make me the ultimate parkour master! I'm also an avid lover of Churu treats (who isn't?) that help me feel more comfortable around you for gentle head pets and rubs. The stomach truly is the way to a guy's heart! I'd really appreciate going to a family who is committed to slow and steady work so I can thrive in life with you. Teens and above only please. :)- ID#A0986879

Why adopt a bonded pair

Bonded cats groom each other, play together and keep each other company while you're out, and they usually settle into a new home faster than a cat on its own.

Pairs often wait longer for homes than single cats, and many rescues charge less to adopt them together.
