2. Polly
Senior · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Snowshoe / Mixed · 49 mi from Santa Rosa




Princess Polly – A Little Fighter with a Whole Lot of Love to Give Hi, I'm Princess Polly! I've had quite the journey, and there was a time when I almost didn't get the chance to tell my story. But thanks to some pretty amazing people who refused to give up on me, I'm here today! My story began when some wonderful people found me lying outside their front door, barely able to move. They brought me inside and tried to help, but I was very sick. They took me to San Francisco Animal Care & Control (SFACC), where I was rushed to the emergency hospital. It turned out I had diabetes and was suffering from a life-threatening condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
Read more about Polly
Thankfully, the doctors stabilized me and started me on insulin. I had a microchip, but sadly, no one came to claim me. And that's when things got really scary. The kind people who found me never forgot about me. They checked with SFACC every single day to see how I was doing. Then came the news no one wanted to hear. If a rescue didn't commit to taking me by the end of the day, I would be euthanized. My finder wasn't about to let that happen without a fight. She reached out to Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue, begging them to help me. They immediately contacted SFACC and asked to review my medical records, which bought me a few precious days. At first, there were concerns that I might need hospice care. But my finder even had her own veterinarian review my records, and the vet believed I had a chance to recover. I was also showing signs of improvement during my time at SFACC. How could anyone give up on me when I was trying so hard to get better? Give Me Shelter decided to give me that chance, and that's how I became Princess Polly! And guess what? Just one week after arriving in foster care, I went to the vet, and my lab values were all within normal range! My blood sugar was still too high, but otherwise, I was doing remarkably well. I wasn't a hospice kitty after all. I was alive, getting stronger, and thriving! I'm one lucky girl to have had so many people advocating for me. Without them, I wouldn't be here today. Now, let me tell you about the real me! I'm a confident, affectionate girl who absolutely loves being loved. Petting is one of my favorite things, and I even have a signature move. When you stop petting me before I'm ready, I'll gently reach out with my paw, grab your hand, and pull it back toward me. That's my way of saying, "Excuse me, I wasn't finished!" It's pretty irresistible, if I do say so myself. I love being part of whatever you're doing, whether that's relaxing on the couch, working at your desk, or just hanging out together. I'm a wonderful companion who enjoys attention, affection, and being close to my people. Now, about my diabetes. I know it might sound intimidating, but I promise I'm a really good patient! I get insulin twice a day, and I'm so easygoing about my injections. I've even worked out a pretty sweet deal with my foster mom. Every time I get my insulin, I get a Churu treat! I know the routine, and I think it's a pretty fair trade. I'm also a champ when it comes to having my blood sugar checked. My foster mom uses a little glucose meter to make sure I'm doing well, and I cooperate like the good girl I am. I do have some funny eating habits. I'm more of a grazer than a finish-my-dinner-in-one-sitting kind of girl. My foster mom is working with me on that because a healthy diet is especially important for my diabetes. I love my treats, especially Churu, dehydrated chicken, and the occasional little bit of crunchy kibble! As for my forever home, I'd be perfectly happy being your one and only princess, but I could also share my kingdom with a mellow kitty friend. I've been through a lot, but none of it has changed my loving personality. I'm a happy, affectionate girl with so much love to give. I just need someone who understands that my diabetes is part of my life and is willing to help me stay healthy. So many people fought to give me a

Scout has been raised around dogs, so canine companions are already a familiar part of his world.
And if you're considering adopting two kittens, his equally adventurous friend Birdie would make a wonderful companion! These two could bring twice the fun to one lucky home.

9. Junipurr aka Juni
Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed · 49 mi from Santa Rosa




Junipurr (Juni) – A Shy Sweetheart with So Much Love to Give Hi there! My name is Junipurr, but you can call me Juni! I'm a sweet, gentle girl with stunning green eyes and a whole lot of love to give. I just need a little time to feel comfortable enough to show you. I was rescued from a feral cat colony in Fresno, and I've come a long way since then! I can be a little shy when meeting new people, so I appreciate a gentle approach and a little patience while I get to know you. Once I feel comfortable, my sweet, affectionate personality comes shining through. I absolutely adore pets and attention, and I have so much love to give! I'm a sensitive girl, so unfamiliar sounds and sudden movements can send me looking for a good hiding spot.
Read more about Junipurr aka Juni
And trust me, I'm a professional hider! But with a little patience, some tasty treats, and gentle encouragement, I'll come out to say hello. Once I know I'm safe, my affectionate side really shines. I'm not a particularly high-energy kitty. I'd much rather curl up on your lap or settle into a cozy spot nearby and enjoy your company. I love rubbing my face against you, weaving around your legs, and soaking up all the pets I can get. When I'm feeling especially comfortable, I might even rub my face against yours and give you a few sweet kisses! I'll come when you call my name or pat your lap, too. Did I mention I'm a purring machine? I purr constantly when I'm happy, and I make the sweetest little trills and chirps to let you know how I'm feeling. My dream home would be a calm, quiet place where I can be your one and only kitty. I'd love a patient, understanding person who will give me the time I need to settle in. I also have some skin sensitivities, so I'm on a special novel protein diet that helps keep me comfortable and healthy. Concerned about me being FIV+? Don't be—there's lots of helpful information out there to put your mind at ease. I can live a long, healthy life, meow. If you'd like to learn more, here's a great resource from the Cornell University FIV Guide. I may take a little extra time to trust you, but once I do, you'll have a devoted, affectionate companion who will fill your days with purrs, chirps, and plenty of love.

Mini Mia & Faith – Two Sweethearts, One Special Bond! Hi there! We're Mini Mia and Faith, two adorable kittens with lots of love to give!

We're both affectionate little sweethearts who love being close to our humans. We're friendly with everyone, especially if you have a Churu to share!

We're also gentle with our teeth and claws, even when we're having fun. I'm Faith! I'm the fearless little shadow of the duo. I love following my humans around and being involved in whatever they're doing. New places can make me a little nervous at first, but it doesn't take me long to feel right at home. I'm curious, adventurous, and extremely food motivated. Let's just say there's not much I wouldn't do for a tasty treat! And I'm Mini Mia! I'm a little more reserved when meeting new people or exploring unfamiliar places, but once I feel comfortable, my sweet and playful personality shines through. I love climbing and exploring high places, and one of my favorite things to do is grab a toy mouse or wand toy and proudly carry it away. I was initially a little unsure about hands, but I've discovered that cuddles are pretty wonderful! I'm also the bigger and very patient sister, especially when Faith decides to flop right on top of me or steal a bite of my food. One of our favorite things is playing together. We love wrestling, chasing each other, and then settling down for a good grooming session. You'll often find us curled up in one adorable puddle of kitten sweetness, fast asleep. We really are the best of buddies! We're a bonded pair and must be adopted together. We bring out the best in each other, and with our affectionate personalities, playful spirits, and love of human companionship, we promise to bring twice the love and twice the fun to our forever home.

Meet Nutmeg — The Fluffy Little Baby Who Will Steal Your Heart!
Some kittens are just born to be loved, and Nutmeg is one of those extra-special little souls who will melt your heart the moment you meet her! ❤️
At just 9 weeks old, this adorable black-and-white fluffy sweetheart is everything you could ever wish for in a kitten. She’s playful, affectionate, social, and full of that irresistible kitten magic!
Her foster family affectionately calls her “The Baby,” and once you meet her, you’ll understand exactly why!
Every morning, Nutmeg has the sweetest little routine. From her indoor catio, she calls out to her foster family, letting them know she’s awake and ready for her morning love! The moment someone scoops her into their arms, her tiny motor starts running, filling the room with the most precious, rumbly purrs.
Read more about Nutmeg Napa
It’s her special way of saying, “I missed you! Now please love me!” ❤️
And trust us, Nutmeg takes cuddling VERY seriously!
But don’t let all that sweetness fool you! This little girl is ALL kitten! She’s a toy-chasing, adventure-loving, playful bundle of fluff who believes every day should be filled with fun, snuggles, and more fun!
A Little Social Butterfly!
Nutmeg absolutely LOVES other cats! She has already lived with two different pairs of foster kitties and has happily made friends along the way. She doesn’t seem to know a stranger, whether they’re human or feline!
Her foster home includes two children, a mom, and a dad, so she’s growing up surrounded by family life, love, and lots of attention.
We think Nutmeg would be absolutely delighted to have a kitty friend to play and cuddle with. But she could also be your one-and-only fur baby, happily soaking up all your affection and becoming your very best friend.
What makes Nutmeg so special?
It’s her gentle little soul. Her trusting nature. Her joyful spirit. The way she calls for her people in the morning and melts into their arms with that happy little purr.
She’s not just looking for a home. She’s looking for someone to love with her whole tiny heart.
And somewhere out there is a lucky family who doesn’t even realize yet that a little girl named Nutmeg is about to become the best part of their day. ❤️
Nutmeg is ready to find her forever family!

Adult · Male · Domestic Long Hair / Maine Coon (long coat) · 28 mi from Santa Rosa




Meet Shakibby — Your Mellow Little Bobtailed Sidekick ❤️
Shakibby is the kind of cat who brings a quiet, gentle presence into a home. He’s sweet, easygoing, and happiest simply being near his people.
And you can’t meet Shakibby without noticing one of his most adorable features — his darling little short bobtail! He often carries it curled right over his back, giving him a look that is completely his own. Pair that cute little curl with his gorgeous, plush medium-to-long coat, and he is one seriously handsome boy. His fur is incredibly soft — the kind you just want to keep running your hands through.
He’s not your typical lap cat or constant cuddler — Shakibby shows his affection in his own soft, special way.
Read more about Shakibby
He’ll nap nearby while you work, making him the perfect coworker for anyone working from home. During quiet evenings, he may settle beside you on the couch, gently lean against you, and reward you with the sweetest little purr.
Walk over to say hello while he’s lounging and you’ll almost always be greeted with that same loving purr. He has also been wonderfully gentle with the family’s 4-year-old and is comfortable when visitors come over — no disappearing under the bed when company arrives!
Don’t let his mellow personality fool you, though. Bring out the wand toy and Shakibby is ready to PLAY! He also enjoys putting on his leash and taking a little stroll around the backyard for some supervised outdoor time. The best part? He’s not demanding about either. If you’re busy, he’s perfectly content to relax nearby and keep you company.
Shakibby does not enjoy living with other cats, so he is looking for a home where he can be your one and only feline companion. In return, you’ll get a gentle, independent, sweet-natured boy with velvety-soft fur, that unforgettable little curled bobtail, and a peaceful presence that makes him so easy to love. ❤️
COURTESY POSTING: Shakibby is not currently in our rescue. If you are interested in adopting him, please fill out an adoption application and submit it to us. Once approved, we will forward your application to Shakibby’s owner, who will handle the next steps.
Sometimes the best companions aren’t the ones who demand your attention — they’re the ones quietly purring beside you, with an adorable little bobtail curled over their back. ❤️

15. Berri aka Bear
Kitten · Female · Tabby / Extra-Toes Cat (Hemingway Polydactyl) (medium coat) · 28 mi from Santa Rosa




Meet Berri aka Bear
One look at this precious girl and you may just fall completely in love.
Berri —affectionately known as Bear—is one very special tabby with the sweetest little secret: she’s a polydactyl on all four paws! Those adorable extra-toed feet look just like the mitts of a tiny teddy bear, and they make this already irresistible little girl even more unforgettable. She is still a little kitten at only 14 weeks old .

We love playing, exploring, and spending time with our people, and now we're looking for a forever home where we can stay together!

21. Jolie
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 49 mi from Santa Rosa




Jolie – Wobbly, Wonderful, and Full of Heart Hi there! My name is Jolie, and I may do things a little differently, but I don't let that stop me from enjoying life. I was found as a stray and brought to Oakland Animal Services before making my way to Give Me Shelter. I have moderate cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), a neurological condition I was born with that makes me a little wobbly when I walk. The good news? It isn't painful, it isn't contagious, and it doesn't slow me down nearly as much as you might think. I always find my way wherever I want to go! I'm a naturally curious girl. Once I think you're not watching, I'm off exploring every corner of the room, investigating anything new, and seeing what adventures await.
Read more about Jolie
I also love toys and am perfectly happy entertaining myself, though I'd never turn down a play session with you. When we first meet, I might be a little cautious if you approach me too quickly. Give me a little time, settle in, and you'll see my confidence grow. Before long, I'll be scooting a little closer, keeping you company, and once we're friends, I'll even meow to let you know I'd like some attention. I'm also told my sploots are a perfect 10 out of 10! One thing I know for sure—I adore other cats. I love making feline friends and would be thrilled to have a gentle, friendly cat companion who can show me the ropes and keep me company. I especially enjoy watching what the "big cats" are up to and making new friends. I've figured out all kinds of clever ways to navigate the world. A short, carpeted cat tree is one of my favorite places because I can pull myself up with my strong little forearms and claws to enjoy the view. I'm also an A+ student when it comes to using my litter box. Once my setup is right, I'm really no more work than any other cat. If you're looking for a sweet, resilient companion who will make you smile every day, I'd love the chance to meet you. My walk may be a little wobbly, but my heart is steady, full of love, and ready for a family to call my own.

22. Ariel
Young · Female · Domestic Medium Hair · 49 mi from Santa Rosa




Ariel – The Sweet Songbird with a Playful Heart Hi! I'm Ariel, though my foster family affectionately calls me "Ms. Purr." I always have something to say and I'm never shy about announcing when I've arrived! If you talk to me, I'll happily sing right back. Whether I'm asking for attention or reminding everyone that it's treat time, I love having little conversations with my people. I'm currently in foster with my brother, Banjo, and I definitely make sure everyone knows if he's getting treats or attention before I am! When I'm not chatting, you'll usually find me chasing wand toys, batting around little mice, or pouncing on anything that moves.
Read more about Ariel
After I've finished playing, I love curling up on my favorite cozy blanket tucked behind a mirror, where I can enjoy a peaceful nap in my own little hideaway. People often notice my luxurious, silky black coat first, but it's my gentle, playful personality that really shines once you get to know me. I enjoy gentle pets once I get to know you, and I'm looking for a family that will let me settle in at my own pace. The more comfortable I become, the more my playful personality and cheerful songs come out. Banjo and I have a great time chasing each other around the house, but we don't have to be adopted together. I'd be happy to go home with my brother or start my next adventure with a family of my own. I was rescued in partnership with ACT Stockton S/N Clinic, and now I'm ready to find my forever home. If you're looking for a playful, affectionate companion who will fill your home with sweet songs, happy purrs, and lots of personality, I can't wait to meet you!

Whether you're making dinner, folding laundry, watching TV, or working on a project, I love being part of whatever's happening. My foster family says I'm a curious guy, and they're right—I don't like to miss a thing! I'm currently in foster with my sister, Ariel, and we have a blast chasing each other around the house, playing with toys, and getting our zoomies out together. Once we've burned off some energy, I'm happy to find a cozy little spot for a well-earned nap.

I seem to have a talent for discovering the funniest places to curl up. I enjoy gentle pets and spending time with my people, and the more I get to know you, the more my sweet personality shines. I'm always ready for my next adventure, whether that's exploring a new room, investigating a mysterious box, or simply hanging out by your side. Ariel and I don't have to be adopted together, but we'd certainly enjoy continuing our sibling adventures if we found a home as a pair. I'd also be perfectly happy joining a family on my own. I was rescued in partnership with ACT Stockton S/N Clinic, and now I'm ready to find my forever home.

Prince – A Gentle Soul Looking for My Second Chance Hello! I'm Prince, and my journey to San Francisco began thousands of miles away in Qatar. I once had a family, but when they left the country, they left me behind to survive on the streets—a place I was never meant to call home. Thankfully, a kind rescuer took me in and made sure I could travel all the way to San Francisco for a chance at the forever family I've always deserved. If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I absolutely love people. My favorite place is wherever you are! I'll happily follow you from room to room, stroll over wherever you're sitting, flop onto my side, and wait for pets.
Read more about Prince
I love cuddling up next to my humans, soaking up affection, and making every visitor feel like an old friend. I'm confident, outgoing, and I've never met a stranger—I think everyone is a potential new best friend! Even after everything I've been through, I've never stopped trusting people. I'm not mischievous or demanding. I'm just a sweet, easygoing boy who's happiest spending time with the people I love. While I was living on the streets, I injured the area above my right eye, which left me with a scar. The good news is my eye wasn't damaged at all, and the scar is purely cosmetic. I think it just adds a little character to my handsome face! Concerned about me being FIV+? Don't be—there's lots of helpful information out there to put your mind at ease. I can live a long, healthy life, meow. If you'd like to learn more, here's a great resource from the Cornell University FIV Guide. I've decided I'd really love to be your one and only feline companion. That means I get all the attention, all the snuggles, and all the love—and trust me, I'll return it tenfold. After losing my first home, I'm hoping my next one will be forever. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will greet you with love, curl up beside you after a long day, and remind you every day just how special the bond between a person and a cat can be, I think we might be the perfect match. Could you be the family I've been waiting for?

Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed · 49 mi from Santa Rosa




Elastigirl — Your Constant Companion for Life's Everyday Adventures Hi, I'm Elastigirl! I almost didn't get my second chance. I was rescued from euthanasia at Stockton Animal Shelter, where I had become a volunteer favorite. Everyone who met me knew I was a special girl, and now I'm hoping to find the family who will love me forever. I'm the kind of cat who wants to be part of everything you do. Folding laundry? I'm there. Organizing a drawer? I'll supervise. Opening a box? I need to inspect it immediately. Wherever my people are, that's exactly where I want to be. I'm an exceptionally calm, confident, and curious girl who's nearly impossible to rattle.
Read more about Elastigirl
Fireworks? Vacuum cleaners? Visitors? None of that bothers me much. Instead of hiding, I'm usually the first one to investigate what's going on. I also come when I'm called because spending time with my people is one of my favorite things. I form deep bonds with the people I love. I'll happily greet you at the door with my signature enthusiastic meow and be ready to hear all about your day. At bedtime, you'll usually find me sleeping beside you—or sometimes right on top of you. While I'm not much of a lap cat and prefer not to be carried, I absolutely love gentle scratches between my ears, along my cheeks, and down my back. I'll close my eyes, lean right into your hand, and soak up every second. My biggest purrs are reserved for making biscuits on a cozy blanket while cuddled up next to my favorite person. Playtime is where I truly shine. Wand toys are my absolute favorite, and I love chasing, jumping, pouncing, wrestling toys, and showing off my athletic moves. Interactive play is how I connect with my people, so I'm hoping to find a family that enjoys playing as much as I do. If I think you've been ignoring me for too long, I may follow you around, chat with you, or even give your ankle a gentle little tap to remind you it's time for another play session. I'm wonderfully easy to live with, too. I'm very tidy, use my litter box perfectly, groom myself beautifully, and don't leave much fur behind. I'm not especially food motivated, although I never turn down a Churu! My favorite meals are wet food mixed with extra water into a nice, soupy consistency. I do have a chronic upper respiratory condition that causes adorable little snuffles and noisy breathing. My rescue team even had a nasal scope performed to look for a treatable cause, but no nasal polyp was found. While you may occasionally notice a little nasal discharge, it's simply part of who I am. My happy snorts and sniffles make it extra easy to know when I'm excited to see you! Concerned about me being FIV+? Don’t be—there’s lots of helpful information out there to put your mind at ease. I can live a long, healthy life, meow. If you’d like to learn more, here’s a great resource from Cornell University FIV Guide. I'd do best in an active home with plenty of everyday activity. I would likely become bored in a very quiet home, but if you're looking for a cat who wants to be your sidekick through every project, every chore, and every cozy evening, I think we're going to make a wonderful team. I can't wait to meet you! Rescued from euthanasia at Stockton Animal Shelter.

I also have a playful side and enjoy wand toys, feather toys, and little mice. I'm a sweet boy with so much love to give! Meet Claudia! — The Playful, Curious Explorer I'm an energetic, curious little girl who loves to play and explore! Feather wands and spring toys are my favorites, and I'm quite the athlete. I love jumping, climbing, and finding the highest perch in the room so I can keep an eye on everything. I'm still learning to trust hands and can be nervous about being picked up, but I've made great progress with my foster family. The quickest way to win me over? Churu, freeze-dried chicken, and my favorite Fancy Feast pâtés! I also love grooming Bunny and cuddling up beside him. Our Forever Home We're looking for a quiet, adult-only home with someone who understands that trust takes time. Bunny may need a little time to warm up, and Claudia is still building her confidence with people and gentle handling. With patience, kindness, plenty of playtime, and lots of love, we know we'll continue to blossom. We can't wait to find a family who will love us both.

If you're looking for a cat who will keep you smiling with her playful antics, adorable little chirps, and endless personality, I just might be your girl. I'm a beautiful tortie with lots of energy and an even bigger heart. I love to play, whether it's chasing toys, exploring every corner of the house, or finding the perfect spot to launch into my next adventure. Once I've gotten my zoomies out, I'm happy to curl up for a cozy nap—especially if there's a soft blanket involved. One of my favorite things in the whole world is head scratches.
Read more about Gabby
Give me a few good scratches, and I'll happily reward you with my sweet little squeaks and chirps. I'm quite the conversationalist and love letting you know what I'm thinking throughout the day. At bedtime, you'll usually find me sleeping at the foot of the bed. I like being close to my people and quietly keeping them company while we all get some rest. Like many cats, I'm happiest when I can choose how I receive affection. I enjoy pets and attention on my own terms and prefer to keep all four paws on the ground instead of being carried around. My future family will understand that respecting my boundaries is just another way of earning my trust. I also have a few favorite hideaways under the coffee table, couch, or bathroom sink. They're my cozy little retreats when I want a quiet moment before I'm ready to come back out and join the fun. I get along well with other cats and would be happy joining a home with a feline friend. I also think I'd do just fine as your one-and-only, as long as I have plenty of playtime, enrichment, and love. If you're looking for a playful, affectionate companion with a big personality, a sweet voice, and plenty of tortitude to keep life interesting, I'd love to meet you.

Meet Cosmo — He’s Hula-Dancing His Way Into Your Heart!
From the jungles of the Big Island to the search for his forever home, one-year-old Cosmo has quite a story to tell. ❤️
This handsome boy was found at the Hilo dump, where no kitty should ever have to call home. But Cosmo left that chapter behind, packed up his imaginary grass skirt, and set off in search of the better life he always deserved.
And now? He’s ready to hula his way straight into someone’s heart!
Cosmo is incredibly loving, affectionate, and sweet. He’s the kind of boy who wants to be close to his people, soaking up attention and giving all that love right back.
Read more about Cosmo Napa petco
Think of him as our little Hilo hula boy — swaying his way over for pets, turning on the charm, and making it nearly impossible not to fall in love with him.
Cosmo is also FIV positive, but please don’t let those three little letters scare you away. FIV-positive cats can live long, happy lives with proper care and routine veterinary visits. Cosmo doesn’t know he’s FIV positive — as far as he’s concerned, he’s simply one handsome, perfectly lovable island boy looking for his happily-ever-after.
He may have started life as a little jungle boy, but Cosmo was clearly meant for something much bigger: a soft bed, loving arms, and a family who absolutely adores him.
His bags are packed. His hula is perfected. And his little heart is ready to love.
All he needs now is his forever person.
Come meet Cosmo and let this sweet Big Island boy hula his way into your heart. ❤️

Adopting a cat with children in Santa Rosa
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.
