Meet Netflix! Your Next Binge-Worthy Best Friend!

Hello, hello! I’m Netflix, and I’m here to bring you endless entertainment, nonstop kitten antics, and a whole lot of sweetness! I came to rescue with my brother, Chill, but don’t let his name fool you—I’m ready to keep you entertained with my playful personality and love for all things fun!

My favorite activities include chasing kitty toys, playing with my feline friends, exploring my surroundings, and generally being the adorable little troublemaker kittens are meant to be. I’m sweet, playful, and great with other cats, so I’d love a home where I can keep the fun rolling!

CHILL HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!
Hey, hey, hey! The name’s Chill, but don’t let that fool you… I’m a tiny ball of chaos wrapped in a ridiculously cute kitten package!
I came to the rescue with my brother Netflix, and let me tell you, we know how to keep things entertaining! I’m playful, curious, happy, and always ready to investigate anything that moves, wiggles, rolls, or looks remotely like a toy. If there’s fun to be had, I’m already there. If there’s mischief to be made, well… I probably started it!
I LOVE other cats and would be thrilled to have a furry buddy to chase, wrestle, and plot world domination with.

Pussy Galore has a big name and a personality to match. She's a friendly young kitten who greets people with curiosity and has a soft spot for toys of every kind. Playtime is her favorite time, and she'll turn almost anything into a game.
Found as a stray alongside her sister, Miss Moneypenny, she's had company since the very beginning. She's comfortable around cats and dogs alike, so she'd settle right in with a pet family. She's happy to be adopted solo, and you're also welcome to apply for both sisters if you'd like a pair.

Meet Chito!
Hi, I’m Chito! My world started out a little scary—I was found hiding in a garage, and I wasn’t quite sure what to think of all these big, new things called humans and homes!
I’m a sweet, gentle boy who just needs a little time to feel safe. I can be nervous at first, and big open spaces can make me feel a bit intimidated. But give me patience, love, and a cozy place to build my confidence, and you’ll start to see the real me shine!
I’m looking for a special forever family who understands that trust takes time. Someone who will show me that the world isn’t such a scary place—and that being loved is pretty wonderful.
I’m also good with other cats, so having a friendly kitty companion may help me feel right at home!
I’m fully vetted and ready to find the patient, loving family who will help me discover just how amazing life can be. Maybe that family is YOU?

Rhodes is a playful boy who loves people and will come in for pets before darting off to bat around a glitter ball or chase a toy mouse, circling back for more attention a few minutes later. He never stays in one place too long, and there's always another game to get to.
He loves being picked up and held, purring right away, though once you set him down he's off again, returning shortly for chin scratches and back rubs. His cat tree is a favorite spot for watching the window, and he's just as happy getting lost in a good Cat TV video. He's just as happy napping with a sibling as he is on his own.
He'd do well going home solo or alongside another cat. Want a boy who's always got something going on? Apply to adopt Rhodes today!

Sailor is a sweet, playful girl who lights up for a good wand toy session, chasing and pouncing with total kitten focus. She'll come running the moment you walk into the room, rubbing against your legs and flopping over at your feet when you stop, practically begging to be picked up.
Once she's in your arms, she settles right in, and she's just as happy curling up in your lap for real snuggle time, purring the whole while. Her cat tree is a favorite spot to watch the world go by, and she gets fully absorbed in Cat TV whenever it's on. She'll nap solo or curl up with one of her siblings, happy either way.
She'd do well going home solo or alongside another cat. Ready to meet this affectionate girl? Apply to adopt Sailor today!

Marigold is a bright girl with a lot to say and a real need for attention, though she has a funny way of asking for it. She'll act aloof and cry out rather than come to you, but pick her up and hold her and she breaks into the most beautiful purr, then circles right back around you when you set her down.
She's not one to settle into a lap for long, but she loves to play, whether it's chasing a wand toy, batting a ball, or hunting a toy mouse. She also loves being carried around at your shoulder like a baby to tour the room. Her cat tree is a favorite spot to take it all in, and she loves getting lost in a good Cat TV session too. She's just as happy napping with a sibling as she is on her own.
She'd do well going home solo or alongside another cat. Ready to bring home a girl who'll never leave you guessing what she's thinking? Apply to adopt Marigold today!

Meet Bocce! Hi there, I’m Bocce, and I’m ready to roll my way right into your heart! I came to SFAAR as part of a stray litter with my sibling Scratch, and our mama is the lovely Mariska.I’m a friendly, playful little girl who thinks life is best when there are toys to chase, adventures to explore, and friends to hang out with! I’m good with other cats and have been exposed to kids and dogs, so I’m already getting lots of experience with all kinds of furry and human friends.I’m fully vetted and ready for my forever family! All I need now is someone who will give me love, playtime, and a cozy place to call home. ❤️So, what do you say? Let’s get this game started—choose Bocce!

Hi, I'm Sandylynn! My name means something special, my foster mom named me after her own sister, so I've carried a little piece of family love from the start.
I'm a shy girl who likes to take stock of a room before deciding it's safe. With patience, I'm hoping to learn to trust and settle in more over time. My favorites are a sturdy cat tree to survey my kingdom from, a scratching post, and wand toys to bring out my playful side.
I just need time to acclimate, and a family willing to go at my pace as my confidence grows.
Could you be the family that gives Sandylynn's story its next chapter?

Hi, I'm Sundance! I'll admit it, I'm shy at first. New people and new places make me want to hang back and watch from a safe spot. I'll learn to trust and open up more over time.
Once I feel comfortable, I'm a total tunnel enthusiast, cardboard, fabric, blanket forts, I love ducking through and popping out the other side. And when the wand toys come out, that's when you'll really see me shine, pouncing and chasing with everything I've got.
I don't need a home that's already perfect for me, just one that's patient. Give me the space to acclimate at my own pace, and let's see how much I grow together.
Could your quiet, patient home be the place where I start to come out of my shell?

✨ Meet Starbright! ✨Hi, I’m Starbright, the tiniest little sparkle in a litter of five! I may be the smallest of my siblings, but I have a whole lot of sweetness and kitten fun packed into my little body.I was born outside and discovered by my foster family, and I’m now learning that being loved by humans is pretty wonderful. I’m still working on my confidence, but with a little patience, encouragement, and TLC, I’m blossoming more every day. I’m a playful, curious kitten who enjoys hanging out with my siblings and checking out all the exciting things around me. I’ve even spotted dogs through the gate and thought, “Hmmmm…what are those fluffy creatures?” I’m curious about other animals and would love a home where I can continue learning and growing.I’m good with kids and ready for a family who will give me the time and love I need to become the confident little star I’m meant to be.

Mariska is a little purr machine, the kind of cat who settles in for the night and doesn't want to leave your side. She sleeps curled up with her people every night, purring the whole time. She still carries a lot of playful, kitten-like energy, even as she's grown, and she gets along well with other cats.
She takes a bit more patience to win over. Sudden movements or loud noises can send her scurrying for cover, and she'd rather not be picked up or carried. Once she feels safe, though, that softer side comes right out, and she rewards a calm, gentle approach with real affection.
Mariska would do best in a quiet home where she can move at her own pace and settle in without pressure. If you can give her that patience and a warm bed to sleep in, she'll give you her trust and plenty of purrs in return. Reach out to learn how you can bring her home.

There is a lot to love about Kokomo, starting with her voice. It's raspy and creaky, like she has decades of stories to tell. She is friendly with her people, though she also values her alone time and will find a quiet spot to herself when she needs one.
But when the lights go out, she wants company. Kokomo is a devoted bed-sharer who picks her person and stays close through the night. She is looking for the kind of home where she can be exactly as social, or as independent, as she feels like being. Could that be with you?

Candy is a sweet, affectionate kitten who lights up around her people. She loves attention and will happily curl up for pets or follow you around just to be close by. When she's not soaking up cuddles, she's playful and full of energy, always up for a game.
Candy would do best with another kitten in the home to burn off some of that playful energy with, and she gets along well with other cats. She's the kind of kitten who wants to be involved in whatever you're doing, whether that's playtime or quiet time on the couch.
Candy is waiting to shower someone with attention of her own. Submit an application to bring her home.

Barbara has a heart-shaped marking right on her nose, which feels about right for a cat this affectionate. She loves sunny naps, is a big fan of toys, and is still figuring out some of the finer points of being a cat, adventures included.
Barbara arrived after being dumped outside The Wildcat Sanctuary in the middle of the night, one of over a dozen cats left there with nowhere to go. She was pregnant at the time, and days later went into labor on the way to the vet. She gave birth to four kittens right as her foster family walked through the clinic doors.
Barbara does best on a consistent diet, as her stomach can be a bit particular.

Freda takes a little time to warm up to new people and new situations. She's not one to rush into things, and that's okay. Good things are worth the wait.
Once she settles in, though, watch out. She'll be the first one on your lap, looking for attention, and she'll reward you with a steady purr that doesn't quit. She's a total purr machine once she's comfortable.
Freda gets along well with other cats, so she could be a nice addition to a home with feline friends already in the mix.
She's still young, with plenty of years of lap time ahead of her. All she needs is someone patient enough to earn her trust.

Meet Serrana
Hi, I'm Serrana, and while I may not be the first kitty to greet you at the door, I promise I'm worth the wait.
I'm a very sweet girl who can be shy when I meet new people. New places and new faces are a little scary for me, so I'll need a patient family willing to give me the time I need to feel safe. It took me about five weeks to truly come out of my shell in my foster home, but once I did, my personality began to shine.
Now you'll find me happily sleeping on the bed at night, coming out to ask for pets, and soaking up all the love and attention I can get. When I trust you, I absolutely adore being loved on and will happily be your quiet little companion.
If you believe the best things in life are worth waiting for, I just might be your perfect match.

Pretty Mama has done her job and done it well. She raised her five kittens with patience. These days she's living alongside a young, energetic Lab puppy, plus other dogs and cats, and her foster family thinks she'd be happier somewhere a little quieter.
She's orange and white, sweet-natured, and ready for a calmer home where she can relax and get some attention of her own for a change.

Hermione takes her time, and the people who give it to her get a sweet, affectionate girl in return. Since her kittens Harry and Ron were adopted, she’s gotten more cuddly with her foster family and has started settling onto laps for a good sit.
She’s a part time lap cat. She’ll curl up for a while, just not for hours. Warming up is a slow process for Hermione, and we mean months. New people and new places can make her nervous, and her first move is to find a hiding spot and watch from there. With patience, she comes around and shows you how much personality she has.
Her best match is a calm home with adults who are happy to let her set the pace. If you’re someone who would give a shy girl a real shot, Hermione would love to hear about your home. Submit an application to get started.

Oliver is a quiet, steady presence who likes to keep his people close. He's not one for demanding attention, but he's always nearby, content just to be in the same room as you.
He shows his affection on his own terms. Not a lap cat who smothers you, but the type to settle in beside you and stay there. Once he trusts you, that quiet companionship becomes the whole point.
Oliver is a distinguished guy, well past the adolescent chaos phase and settled into who he is. He knows what he likes and he's not shy about showing it, just calmly.
He does well with other cats, so he could be a great fit for a home that already has some feline company.
He's not looking to be the center of attention. Just a steady, quiet home to call his own.

Zap has a funny way of asking for pets: he flops right at your feet and rolls around until you notice him.
This black and white boy was dumped along with a dozen or more domestic cats outside the Wildcat Sanctuary in the middle of the night.
New surroundings take him a little time to settle into, so patience goes a long way with him. Once he's comfortable, that floor-roll routine kicks in, and it's hard to resist.
He's still a bit of a mystery to us, but that goofy move already tells you a lot.

Bonk needs a minute to trust you. Once he does, he turns into an absolute purr machine who wants to be held and fussed over constantly.
This buff tabby boy was dumped along with a dozen or more domestic cats outside the Wildcat Sanctuary in the middle of the night.
New people and new places take him some time to warm up to, so patience matters here. But give him that time, and you get a cat who leans hard into affection once he decides you're his person.
We're still getting to know him, but the signs point to a total lap cat in training.

I’m Pom Pom, a calico with a big personality in a petite package, and it turns out I’m a total cuddle bug. Since moving to my foster home, I’ve settled in and shown everyone my snuggly side. You’ll find me curled up right beside you or in your lap, purring away, or perched on the back of the couch keeping an eye on the whole room.
I’m a confident, opinionated girl with lots of love to give, and I’d like to give it all to you. I do best as the only pet in the home, so I can have your full attention (and the couch) to myself.
My tail was badly injured on the highway and had to be amputated, but I’m thriving and pain free now.

Hello, my name is Lula-bell. I came to SFAAR as a pregnant stray, and after lovingly raising my babies until they were ready to venture out on their own, it's finally my turn to find a forever family.
I am a quiet, reserved girl with a calm and gentle nature. New situations can make me a little jumpy at times, so I would likely do best in a peaceful home without too much hustle and bustle. Once I feel safe and comfortable, you'll discover what a sweet companion I can be.
I enjoy gentle pets and being near my people, though I'm still learning that it's okay to ask for affection. I'm an independent lady who may not immediately seek out attention, but with a little patience, understanding, and love, I know my confidence will continue to grow.
If you're looking for a kind-hearted kitty who will blossom in a calm environment, I just might be the perfect addition to your family.
