1. Kitty

Adult (2 years 1 month) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 23 mi from Sunnyvale

Hello lovely humans! My name is Kitty and I am a 2 year old, small-sized, black, spayed female, domestic medium-hair cat. I'm a gentle and shy sweetheart who is looking for her forever home, one that can provide time and patience as I can start out quite timid. New faces and environments can scare me so I just need some time to collect myself as I adjust to my surroundings. Don't expect me to open up on the first day, but if you're patient enough, I'll slowly start to grow more comfortable and my true colors will shine through! I love gentle pets and strokes along my gorgeous fur and being close to people I've warmed up to. My favorite spot? Why, your lap of course! I'm not really into playing with toys so my ideal home would be one that loves to cuddle and doesn't mind slow beginnings as I warm up to you. I'd do best in a quieter household and if kids are present, teens and above only please. :) I'm looking forward to meeting you!

2. Flemeth

Senior (9 years 5 months) · Female · Tabby (short coat) · 7 mi from Sunnyvale

Meet Flemeth!

Flemeth is a beautiful senior girl, approximately 9 years old, with a calm, independent personality and a story of resilience. After her longtime caregiver was displaced, Flemeth was left behind and sadly experienced abuse at the hands of neighbors. Thankfully, she was rescued and brought into our care, where she has been learning what it means to feel safe and loved.

Read more about Flemeth

Flemeth is a gentle, low-maintenance companion who enjoys a peaceful environment and the freedom to do things at her own pace. She expresses affection in her own quiet way, preferring peaceful companionship over constant attention. As she has grown more comfortable in foster care, she has begun accepting gentle pets in her favorite cozy spots and showing increasing curiosity about the people around her. She also enjoys quietly exploring her surroundings, especially when she thinks nobody is watching!

One thing Flemeth absolutely adores is food, especially Churu treats! This sweet, toothless lady can always be persuaded to leave her favorite cozy spot for a tasty treat. She also enjoys the company of other cats and has a playful side that comes out when she feels comfortable.

Flemeth is looking for a patient, understanding adopter who will appreciate her independent nature and allow her to build trust at her own pace. She would make a wonderful companion for someone who finds joy in providing a safe, peaceful home and watching a once-frightened cat gradually blossom. After everything she has endured, Flemeth deserves a loving indoor home where she can finally enjoy the comfort, security, and kindness she has always deserved.

Could you be the person who gives Flemeth her happily ever after? Please complete an adoption application with Pink Paws for the Cause to be considered for adopting this special girl!

She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines.

Meet Morrigan!

Named after the mysterious and powerful witch from Dragon Age, Morrigan has a little magic of her own! At approximately 2 years old, this beautiful girl is truly a kitten at heart. She's one of the most playful cats we've ever fostered and can turn just about anything into a toy! Her curiosity and playful spirit make even the simplest things an adventure.

Read more about Morrigan

Morrigan is social, friendly, and full of personality! She loves greeting her trusted humans, asking for pets, giving affectionate head bumps, and expressing her happiness through adorable little chirps and trills. She also absolutely loves other cats and would make a wonderful companion for another friendly feline. Despite her playful personality, she's content in smaller spaces and could thrive in an apartment.

Morrigan's journey to safety hasn't been easy. Once a stray living in a neighborhood where she became a victim of animal cruelty, she was rescued and provided with much-needed veterinary care and a safe foster home. Despite everything she's endured, Morrigan has blossomed into an incredibly affectionate, trusting, and joyful girl who still has so much love to give.

Morrigan is looking for a gentle, patient, and understanding family who will give her the kindness, security, and unconditional love she deserves. She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. After such a difficult beginning, this sweet girl is ready to leave her past behind and begin a beautiful new chapter. All she needs now is a forever family to call her own!

She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines.

Mia is a beautiful 1-year-old girl who is affectionate and enjoys rubbing against your legs and sitting beside you. She has a calm nature but still enjoys playtime.

Meet Mocha & Latte — Bonded Sisters

Mocha (black, short hair) and Latte (gray tabby, medium hair) are bonded sisters who were rescued from a backyard. These cuties have been spayed and vaccinated through Nine Lives, and have been inseparable ever since!

Read more about Mocha & Latte

Both sisters are a little shy, but they each have their own personality. Mocha is the more outgoing and talkative of the two. She can’t resist a good play session and will happily jump and chase a wand or string toy. She’s also easily won over with Churu or Temptations treats! Latte is still learning to feel comfortable around people, but she loves to roughhouse and play with her sister.

When they’re not busy playing, these girls love to cuddle up, roll around together, and groom each other. Their overnight camera footage shows them running, chasing, and wrestling their way through the night. Their close bond is clear, and they’ll need a home where they can stay together and continue building confidence at their own pace.

They haven’t been introduced to other pets or children, although they seem able to tolerate the noise of toddlers when they have space to themselves. Both are reliable litter box users.

Due to human allergies in their current home, Mocha and Latte have been eating Purina ONE LiveClear Allergen-Reducing Formula, but they can transition to other appropriate kitten foods.

Interested in giving these sweet sisters a loving home together? For more information, please contact Jessica at 408-605-7532 or jslu82@gmail.com.

10. rocky

Kitten (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 8 mi from Sunnyvale

Rocky and his siblings, Loki Loe and Dosa Doe were rescued at a community cat feeding station. Rocky was found weeks after the first two but his social skills did not suffer. Initially shy, all kittens have blossomed into friendly playful pets. They like stuffed toys, mice, crinkle balls and more. Time with their humans and wand toys makes for a great playdate. After exercising and snacks, the kittens like afternoon naps. This gets them ready for the next play session.
Dosa has been adopted but Rocky and Loki Loe are great friends. They can be adopted as singles or together.

Hey there, I'm Chiltoma! I'm an 8-month-old, medium-sized, gray tabby, neutered male cat looking for my furever home. I'm a little bit shy in new situations, but before you know it, I'll be rolling over for belly rubs and heatbutting you for affection! I'm a gentle sweetheart who enjoys being held close to for some warm cuddles. I become the ultimate purring machine - once I get going, I can't stop! I also have a playful streak and love chasing after toys of all kinds! I'm happy doing either as long as I'm with you. I would do best in a home who has some experience with shy cats, so I can take my time to feel safe and comfortable with you. I'm also not the biggest fan of other cats, so I would ideally like to be a solo guy! But that just means I get to have all the attention to myself and lots of time for us to bond. Ready for a fun cuddle buddy to play, relax, and cuddle up with you? I'm your guy! Stop by and ask for me,

She adores being held, cradled, and carried around like a baby, and if you let her perch on your shoulders, she’ll happily gnaw on your head in pure contentment.

Mickey also has a big playful side and thrives on wrestling and active play. He would do best in a home with a cat-savvy adult and older kids who understand feline energy and can gently redirect him when needed. He’s good with other cats and dogs and gets along well with feline friends.

Mickey looks like he's dressed for a black-tie event, and he knows it. This dapper little guy is a bundle of energy who is always up for a game. When playtime gets exciting, he may nibble your fingers, but he's always gentle about it and never rough.

14. Pipa

Young (10 months) · Female · Tabby (short coat) · 7 mi from Sunnyvale

Meet Pipa – The Mama of Every Heart

If love had a face, it would be Pipa’s. Born 11/25/25

Pipa is, without a doubt, the most loving and gentle foster kitty we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We have never even heard her hiss! She has the sweetest soul and a heart big enough for absolutely everyone. Every time a new foster kitty arrives, Pipa is right there to welcome them. She is everybody’s mama, and she takes that job very seriously!

Read more about Pipa

She’s the mama to our 110-pound foster dog, the mama to our 15-year-old boy, and the little guardian angel who comes running whenever someone is getting into trouble, as if to say, “Hey, hey! Leave them alone! They didn’t mean it!”

Pipa loves nothing more than cuddling up with her humans for a cozy movie night. She’ll be waiting to greet you when you come home, and wherever you go, you can be sure she’ll want to know what you’re doing. She likes to be part of everything! And don't let all that motherly love fool you — Pipa also loves to play and has a fun, playful side that makes her even more wonderful.

Pipa does have chronic sniffles, which means she’ll likely have some sniffles and sneezes for the rest of her life. It’s simply part of her, and it doesn't take away from the enormous amount of love she has to give.

Now, this special girl deserves something just as beautiful as the love she gives everyone else: a forever family of her very own. A family who will welcome her into their hearts, cherish her gentle nature, enjoy movie-night cuddles, and let her be the loving little mama she was born to be.

If you're looking for a kitty who will greet you at the door, follow you around, keep you company, make you laugh, and fill your home with unconditional love, Pipa might just be your girl.

She has spent so much time being everyone else's mama. Isn't it time someone became hers?

Pipa must be adopted into a home with other kittens or a playful cat. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines.

Adult (2 years) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 23 mi from Sunnyvale

Hello friends, I am Meeko! I am a handsome, two year old, neutered gray tabby domestic short hair who is medium in size and is lookin for his forever home! I'm a sweet boy who can sometimes start off a bit timid as I like to take in all the sights and sounds around me before I can feel comfortable. Once I've settled, you'll see my affectionate and loving side come out as I rub against you for cheek and chin scratches on my adorable, cherub face. You might even find me crawling into your lap for some extra close bonding time. While I love seeking attention, I can also sometimes get a little overstimulated so I'm looking for a family who will understands when I need my space and me-time. Other days, I have a playful side that is itching to come out! I love playing with wand toys and pipe cleaners; it's a great way for me to get my energy out! I enjoy people, but am not always fond of other feline friends so I am looking for a forever home where I can be the only cat. Loud noises can also be a bit much for me so I would also do best in a household with teens and older if children are present. If you think we might be a good match, then come on down to the shelter so we can test out the waters and you can hopefully take me home with you! <3

Adult (4 years 7 months) · Male · Exotic Shorthair (short coat) · 11 mi from Sunnyvale

Meet Teddy!

Teddy is a 4.5-year-old neutered male Exotic Shorthair looking for his forever home.

He may be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and becomes a sweet, affectionate companion. He’s a smart little guy who loves having people around and isn’t shy about meowing when he wants attention. He has his own way of communicating with us, and it’s pretty adorable!

Because of his tiny nose, softer food can be easier for him to eat, although he definitely shows interest in dry food, too.

Teddy would love a home where he gets lots of love, attention, and company.

Read more about Teddy

One important note: we don’t recommend Teddy for a home with a history of cat allergies, as we want to avoid putting him or his future family through that uncertainty.

If you think Teddy might be the one for you, please help us learn more about you and your household by filling out our online application: www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeow. Let’s find this sweet boy the loving forever home he deserves.

17. Orange Juice

Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 1 mi from Sunnyvale

Like any orange boy, OJ has a penchant for mischief. He's starved for affection, and for food. He'll never say no to wet food, and will immediately sniff out your snacks. Because he's only recently learned to live in a home, OJ has an occasional habit of sometimes urinating on soft surfaces like beds despite being litter box trained. Will need a prepared adopter ready to address this issue if needed. He needs some reassurance and patience, but once he's settled in and gets to know you, he enjoys taking up space on your lap or by your side. Orange Juice (OJ) and his mate Clementine belonged to a small group of sociable stray cats in my neighborhood.

Read more about Orange Juice

They'd sleep and play around the children's playground structure in front of my house. Because the HOA does not allow for residents to be seen feeding them, they were not allowed to stay as community cats and were at risk of having Animal Control being called to capture and likely euthanize them. OJ is likely a father, and has at least 2 other orange kittens that had already been adopted by a fellow neighbor. He'd occasionally go to visit them by peeking through the neighbors screen door. For anybody interested in adopting him - this would be a great friendship opportunity with the other cat owners so that this small group of cats could stay connected. He needs some reassurance and patience, but once he's settled in and gets to know you, he enjoys taking up space on your lap or by your side. Gets along great with other cats, and doesn't enjoy being alone. Orange Juice is currently living in Union City, CA 94587 For more information & an online application go to https://www.peninsulacatworks.org/adoption/cat.php?id=2320 [ts=1792682415&src=rg]

Hi there everyone, my name is Billie! I am a 6 month old, black, currently small sized, spayed female, domestic short haired cat and it's lovely to meet you! I am a timid, but super sweet little girl that appreciates taking things slow and steady.

You might even find me eventually leaning into your hands as I get more comfortable! I know that with time and patience, my other fabulous sides will start to come out. If you're looking for a rewarding, lifelong affectionate companion to be by your side, come on down to meet me and take me home with you! <3

29. March

Adult (1 year 1 month) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby (short coat) · 23 mi from Sunnyvale

Hello there people, my name is March! I am a 1 year old, neutered male, brown tabby who is medium sized. I am a super sweet and affectionate dude who loves seeking attention from people. The moment I see you, you'll find me prancing your way! I love both people and playing and have a fun, sprightly side that comes out whenever a pipe cleaner is placed in front of me! While I love my quality time, sometimes I can get overwhelmed in new environments so I would love to go to a quiet, adult only home where I can be given time to adjust, so that I can be the sweetest cat ever. With a bit of love and patience, I warm up to be an affectionate lad and will want to spend a lot of quality time with my favorite people. If you are looking for a kindhearted, social boy then come down and meet me! I cannot wait to meet you!

30. Pepperoni

Adult (3 years 11 months) · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 23 mi from Sunnyvale

Hey there everyone, my name is Pepperoni! I am a 4 year old, neutered male brown tabby who is medium sized. I am a sweet, warm dude who is looking to find my new family! First thing you may notice about me is that I am a little cross eyed, but don't worry - I can see just fine and it just makes me stand out amongst the crowd. I love finding the most cozy spots to lay down and sunbathe in, and enjoy it even more when I have some human companions by my side! I enjoy seeking out attention from people, but can sometimes get a little overstimulated so I'd do best in a home that understands my needs and when to give me cuddles vs space. I also have a lively, playful spirit and love chasing after any and all toys! If you are looking for a loving and fun guy then come down and meet me!

Adopting a cat in Sunnyvale

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.
