She needs a quiet home that will be a little more patient with her so she can come around at her own pace. She will make you a wonderful friend and companion!

Hi, my name is Mitzi. I am a very friendly girl, so I think I had a home once. I wandered into a yard, and the lady thought her dogs might hurt me, so she brought me to SBACC. I am a very active cat who still has lots of kitten energy. I love to run around, explore, and play. I am also talkative and will let you know when I want something. In addition to being friendly, I am affectionate and enyoy being held and cuddled. Some people might say I am the purrfect cat, so I expect to find my forever home very, very soon. And, BTW, I am also pretty cute.

Hi, my name is Taylor. I was left behind when my person moved, and I spent weeks hanging out in a backyard. She noticed something strange on my nose and was not sure whether it was an injury or an infection, but she did not want it to get worse, so she brought me to SBACC. The vet checked me out and even did a skin biopsy, which showed no parasitic infections, but they said I probably had flea or other insect bites. It is taking me a little while to get used to life at SBACC, and I am just starting to emerge from the cubby that I have been hiding in. I am a really friendly cat, and I like people and pets. I am not looking my best right now because of my nose injury, but it is starting to get better, and I know I will be looking great pretty soon. I am hoping for a forever home before the holidays.

Hi, my name is Bella. I was rescued from an overcrowded shelter and brought to SBACC. It was obvious that I was very pregnant, and I delivered six kittens in my foster home the very next day. Sadly, one of them did not survive, but the other five have grown into happy, healthy kittens and will soon be ready for their forever homes. I took very good care of my kittens, but I am now done with motherhood and ready to be loved and pampered in my own home. My foster Mom says that I am the sweetest cat you will ever meet. I am very vocal and love to chat with my people, always letting you know when I want attention. More than anything, I love curling up in your lap and soaking up all the cuddles I can get. If you are looking for a loving companion who wants to be by your side, I am the perfect lap cat and will happily keep you company every chance I get.

A5805070 Clover

Beautiful Clover has the most gorgeous green eyes, but right now she's feeling a little overwhelmed by shelter life. ❤️

This sweet black-and-white girl was owner surrendered on October 9, and she's understandably a little frightened.

She's going to need someone patient who will give her plenty of time to decompress and settle into a new environment. But we did discover something important about Clover...She LOVES treats!

Sometimes the way to a nervous kitty's heart is through her stomach!

-Domestic Shorthair, Black & White

-1 year, 6 months

-Spayed and microchipped female

-9.4 lbs as of October 9

-Microchipped

Hi, my name is Lenore Dove, and I am a survivor. I had been abused, but luckily I was rescued and brought to SBACC. Someone who feeds feral cats found me. I had been dumped in a colony of ferals, and she knew I was in bad shape and did not belong there. I had a severely damaged eye that ruptured and had to be removed, and I had bruising on my abdomen and chest that looked like I had been kicked. I also had sores and scabs on my neck and head. I am a bit shy and timid, but I warm up quickly to quiet, gentle people. The people who care for me at SBACC say I am very sweet. I am hoping to find a home where I will be safe and loved forever and ever.

Hi, my name is Henna. I was rescued from an abandoned property along with my two kittens. They went to a foster home, but I stayed at SBACC. I was not in very good shape. I had a severely damaged eye that had to be removed, and I have a significant head tilt. Some specialists have checked it out, and they think it’s due to an ear infection and some inner ear issues. It might be with me forever. Despite this, I am a very friendly girl and a ball of energy. I am hoping for a forever home, and I would probably do best as an only cat.

He enjoys a peaceful environment, but don’t let his laid-back nature fool you—he still loves to play and have fun. Pepper Jack is looking for someone who will let him blossom at his own pace. If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate companion, Pepper Jack may be your perfect match.

Wizard was born into a colony that just kept growing. Thankfully, a smart neighbor began helping TNR to stop the breeding and foster the babies. Wizard has had hands on from the beginning and is such a wonderful guy! He is silly, playful and social, not to mention beautiful with his long fur! He's a hit at adoptions with his 2 sisters who are also beautiful black fluffies. Come and meet Wizard to see if he's the one for you!

Willow was born into a colony that was breeding out of control. The "owners" didn't realize how big of a problem not getting a few cats fixed could be or how fast they can multiply. A concerned neighbor approached them about TNR and helped them get the entire colony fixed and fostered the kittens. Willow is one of those lucky kittens who will know life off the streets!

Willow loves to hang on your arm and play with her siblings all day long. She's a hit at adoptions with her siblings and she is so super sweet. She loves to be doted on and is just a love to have around.

Meet Marmont, a breathtaking Chartreux mix with a heart as grand as his handsome frame. On the 4th of July, Marmont’s life changed forever when he was left abandoned in the bushes alongside an empty carrier and a few empty cat food cans. Terrified, unfixed, and severely underweight, this resilient boy mustered up all his courage and ran straight out of the bushes looking for human help. Since that fateful day, Marmont has been steadily gaining weight, gaining confidence, and discovering what it feels like to be truly safe and cherished.

Meet Lucas, a gentle, sweet soul looking for a quiet home where he can be showered with love and pets!

Lucas came to us after surviving a rough time outdoors with a severely injured, degloved tail that required amputation. Despite everything he’s been through, his gentle, sweet nature never wavered—he doesn't have a mean or aggressive bone in his body.
Lucas is fully recovered, resilient, and ready for a peaceful forever home where he can relax, enjoy his treats, and be your loyal lap companion.

Simba is a handsome, friendly boy with a confident personality and an independent streak.
He enjoys people and is absolutely social, but he does not need constant attention to feel secure. Simba is the kind of cat who appreciates companionship while also enjoying his own space and routine. He may be a great fit for someone who wants a friendly adult cat who is not attached at the hip.
In foster care, Simba has shown that he may prefer a calmer environment with fewer cats. He has been living in a busy foster home with multiple feline roommates and has handled many changes, but we think a quieter home may help him truly settle into his best self.
Simba and Alfie spend time together and could be considered as a pair, but Simba may also do well as a single cat with the right person.
Simba is currently being monitored for a stress-related urinary issue.

Alfie is a handsome, social boy with a curious spirit and plenty to say.
His foster describes him as wonderfully chatty, almost like you can have a conversation with him when he is in curious, exploratory mode. Alfie likes being near his people and being part of what is happening, but he is not overly demanding. He has a nice balance of social confidence and independence.
Alfie enjoys exploring, observing, and adding his own commentary along the way. He is the kind of cat who brings personality into a home without needing to be the center of attention every minute.
He has spent time with other cats and may do well with a compatible feline friend.

Mr. Peabody is a big, handsome 4-year-old all-white cat looking for a loving home of his own. He is a very friendly and affectionate cat who enjoys human company and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loving feline friend. His previous owner was no longer able to keep him because of a difficult housing situation.
Mr. Peabody would be happiest as your one and only feline companion, where he can enjoy all the attention and affection for himself.
Because of his beautiful white coat, Mr. Peabody must be an indoor-only cat to protect his sensitive white skin from sun damage and keep him safe and healthy.

Hi, my name is Kiki. I lived in a nice backyard with another cat for some time. The lady fed us and tried to keep us safe. We both had kittens, and she decided we deserved a better life, so she brought us to SBACC. My kittens went to a foster home, and I stayed at SBACC while I waited for a forever home. I am still a little nervous around people, but I am getting more comfortable every day. I enjoy attention and pets, and I get along well with other cats. I am very petite and pretty. I am hoping for a family or a Mom or Dad who will love and cherish me forever.

Meet Prince William! This royal little guy is super playful, goofy, and the definition of a fun-loving orange cat. He spends his days living life in the fast lane, wrestling and chasing toys with his siblings from sunrise to sunset. If there’s a crinkle ball to hunt or a feather wand to stalk, Prince William is on the case! When he’s done ruling the playroom, this affectionate boy is ready to settle down for some well-earned chin scratches and purr sessions.
Because he has so much kitten energy and loves social time, it’s recommended Prince William goes to a home with an active playmate (either one of his siblings or another resident cat) and plenty of toys to keep his clever mind busy.

Meet Prince Harry! Prince Harry is a gentle, introverted soul who prefers life in the quiet lane. He is currently a super shy and timid kitty, but beneath that cautious exterior lies a heart made of absolute gold.
Prince Harry takes a little time to adjust to new faces, but patience is highly rewarded with this sweet boy. Once he realizes he is safe, he absolutely loves gentle pets, chin scratches, and warm cuddles, turning into a total purr machine.
His favorite confidence booster is his brother! Prince Harry loves playing and wrestling with his more outgoing siblings. Because he relies on other felines to feel brave, it’s highly recommended he finds a home with another confident, friendly resident cat (or he can be adopted with a sibling!) to help him navigate the big world and fully find his place.

Meet Mary-Kate & Ashley

Mary-Kate and Ashley are beautiful young tabby twins who were rescued from a high-kill shelter with mere moments to spare. Their lives nearly ended before they had truly begun—but thankfully, they made it out just in time and are now ready to find the loving forever home they deserve.

These bonded sisters are gentle, affectionate, and wonderfully mellow. They enjoy playing and exploring together, but they aren’t wild or chaotic kittens. Their calm, easygoing personalities make them lovely companions, and they would do well in a peaceful home with adults or respectful children.

Meet Blondie

Blondie knew there had to be a better life waiting for him—and he was determined to find it.

This handsome 5- to 6-month-old orange tabby appeared in someone’s yard one day and simply refused to leave. He seemed to know that safety, love, and a warm home were just on the other side of that door—and he wanted in!

Meet Rosy

This little foundling was dumped at a church—but thankfully, she found safe haven with a kindhearted rescuer who refused to leave her behind.

Rosy is now saying her prayers for a true forever home—and hoping someone special will become her savior.

At just 5 to 6 months old, Rosy is a sweet, social little girl who gets along beautifully with other cats and even lives peacefully with a senior Chihuahua. She is playful, curious, affectionate, and ready to bring endless joy and companionship to a loving family.

Meet Carmen

Carmen first came to us after being abandoned in a duffel bag alongside two different litters of kittens. Still little more than a kitten herself, she raised every one of her babies with patience, devotion, and quiet strength. After giving so much of herself, it should finally be Carmen’s turn to be someone’s whole world.

Calypso “Cal”

Meet Cal — a sweet orange tabby with the gentlest soul and, somehow, the patience of a saint.

Cal has been returned twice, alongside his sister, and not because of anything either of them did wrong. His first adoption ended after a major health scare made it clear that his adopter simply wasn’t able to provide the care they needed. His second adopter promised it would be forever — but apparently a new job and a new boyfriend were enough to change those plans. And once again, Cal and his sister were the ones left packing their bags.
