4. Gus

Kitten (2 months 20 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

Meet Gus, a curious little observer who likes to scope out the scene before joining the fun!

Gus has plenty of kitten energy and a cautious but playful spirit. New things fascinate him, though he often prefers to watch from a comfortable distance before investigating. His favorite reason to venture closer? Churu treats. This boy knows a good snack when he sees one.

Read more about Gus

Gus is still learning to trust people, but he’s happy to hang out nearby when everyone is calm and respectful of his space. He enjoys gentle pets in small doses and can be held briefly before he’s ready to hop down and get back to kitten business. We’re helping him build confidence at his own pace.

Gus is looking for a patient adopter who will appreciate the little milestones and let him take the lead as your friendship grows. Bring a calm presence, a little patience, and a supply of Churus—Gus will bring the curiosity.

Prior to adoption, all kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. Kittens under 5 months old must be adopted with a buddy or into a house where there's a kitten-friendly pet.

This kitten is currently in a foster home. To meet this kitten, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adopt

7. Binx

Adult (2 months 15 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

Binx is an adorable, neutered 10-week-old black domestic shorthair kitten who is affectionate to the point of being delightfully annoying. He always wants to be wherever you are, and the second you touch him, the purring begins.

This little guy is full of kitten energy and loves to play, especially with other cats. He wrestles regularly with the resident cat and would love a feline playmate in his forever home. He also co-exists happily with the resident 50-pound dog, so he's proven he can handle a big personality (and a big housemate) with ease.

Read more about Binx

Binx has a great appetite and a voice to match. He's vocal enough to let you know when he wants food or love, and he's not shy about asking for either.

If you're looking for a sweet, social shadow who will follow you from room to room and purr the whole way, Binx is ready to be your guy. A home with another playful cat would make him extra happy.

Binx is being cared for by a member of the community. To arrange to meet this cat or find out more, please fill out our application here: https://www.thedancingcat.org/adopt-courtesy

8. Charlemagne

Adult (3 years 1 month) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

Charlemagne is a handsome, neutered 3-year-old domestic shorthair with a big personality and even bigger energy. He's current on all vaccinations, and his vet records are ready to go. He's curious, busy, and playful, and he's looking for a home with plenty of room to roam, run, and explore.

Read more about Charlemagne

This guy lives for time with his people. He greets his human every morning with a run to the bed for pets and purrs, follows along to the bathroom, and has been known to play in the bathtub. When someone walks past his "play position," he zooms right over, because he knows it's wand toy time. He can jump about five feet in the air, so he's an athlete as well as a charmer. When he's ready to recharge, you might find him snoozing under the bed covers or tucked into a cardboard box.

Charlemagne's current apartment is simply too small for all that energy, and his family believes it's the reason behind a few frustration habits, like shredding paper and knocking things over. With more space, daily play, and plenty of enrichment, they expect these to fade.

Charlemagne would do best as the only cat in a spacious home with an adopter who is experienced with high-energy cats and can offer structure, daily playtime, and lots of attention.

Think you can keep up with this athletic, affectionate guy? Come say hello. Charlemagne is ready to bring the zoomies, the purrs, and a whole lot of love to his new home!

9. Sailor & Moon

Adult (1 year 6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

Meet Sailor and Moon, 1.5-year-old siblings who are looking for a home together!

Moon is the cuddly one. This sweet boy wants to be right by your side, whether you're on the couch, at your desk, or just walking from room to room. He's playful and loves chasing spring toys, and he's happy to settle into your lap when playtime is over.

Read more about Sailor & Moon

Sailor is a little shy at first. She may hide when you first meet, and that's okay! Give her a bit of time and patience and she'll come out of her shell. Once she's comfortable, she's a curious, playful girl who loves a good game of fetch. Having her brother Moon nearby helps her feel safe, which is exactly why these two should stay together.

Both cats are spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, and litter trained. They're domestic shorthairs, still young and full of energy, with plenty of years of play and cuddles ahead of them.

If you're looking for a pair of playful companions who will keep each other company (and keep you entertained), Sailor and Moon are ready to meet you.

Adopting bonded siblings means double the love, and a lot less loneliness for them while you're out.

They're easygoing, friendly, and happy to get along with gentle children, adults, and other pets, which makes them adaptable companions for many kinds of homes.

Read more about Dobby & Kreacher

Dobby is a sweet, affectionate girl who truly loves being around people. She has a lovely, soft coat and a friendly nature that wins everyone over. Whether she's hanging out with her human fosters or curled up with her siblings, she's happiest when she's part of the action.

11. Gray Paw & White Paw

Adult (5 months 2 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

Meet Gray Paw & White Paw: A Bonded Sister Duo Looking for Their Forever Home

Read more about Gray Paw & White Paw

These two five-month-old tabby sisters are a package deal, and once you meet them, you'll understand why. Gray Paw and White Paw were born to a feral mama cat and came into a neighbor's care as tiny kittens. For the past two months, they've been socialized with lots of patience and love, and they've blossomed into sweet, playful girls. Sadly, their current home has territorial resident cats, so it's time for these sisters to find a place of their own. Both girls are spayed, and White Paw is also vaccinated, microchipped, and litter box trained. They must be adopted together.

Gray Paw is a gray tabby with a thoughtful, observant nature. She's a little shy and aloof when she first meets you, and she likes to take her time sizing up new people and new toys. But once she warms up, her sweet side shines through. She'll happily roll onto her back for belly scratches, offer a soft purr, and let out adorable trills when she's excited. Wand toys are her absolute favorite, and she has a curious streak that makes every new toy an adventure. Gray Paw will thrive with a patient adopter who can gently help her continue to come out of her shell.

White Paw is a brown and gray tabby with a mellow, easygoing personality and a motor that never seems to stop. She's a true purring machine and loves to chat with trills and short meows, so expect plenty of conversation. She adores physical contact, from leg rubs to belly scratches, and she's just as enthusiastic about wand toys and anything new to explore. She's also a bit of a greedy eater who gets very excited when you walk in with food. White Paw shows her sweetest self once she trusts you, and she's already well on her way.

Together, this pair balances each other beautifully. White Paw's friendly, outgoing charm can help ease Gray Paw into new situations, while Gray Paw's playful curiosity keeps both sisters entertained. They'd do best in a patient, loving home where they can keep each other company and grow in confidence. If you're looking for two affectionate, playful companions who come with a built-in best friend, Gray Paw and White Paw are ready to meet you.

12. Dice

Kitten (1 month 17 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

❤️ MEET DICE: THE LITTLE KITTEN WHO WAS LEFT BEHIND ❤️

Read more about Dice

Imagine being a tiny kitten, alone in a schoolyard, crying day after day, hoping your mama would come back. That is how little Dice's story began. This precious black-and-white boy was reportedly found in a schoolyard, where he had been crying for days. His mother had apparently moved his siblings to safety, but for reasons we will never know, Dice was left behind. He waited and cried, but no one came back for him. By the time he was rescued, Dice was desperately hungry, struggling, and in need of care. Instead of being curled up safely beside his mother and siblings, this tiny boy had been fighting to survive all alone. Thankfully, someone finally heard his cries and gave him the chance he so desperately needed. ❤️ Dice's story may have started with heartbreak, but we want it to end with love. This sweet little boy deserves a home where he will never have to wonder if someone is coming back for him, where his belly will always be full, and where he will always have a warm, safe place to sleep.

Dice spent his earliest days crying for someone to find him. Now he is hoping someone will choose him and love him forever.

Could you be the happy ending this little survivor deserves? ❤️

Read more about Parklet

Parklet is a curious little soul who likes to keep tabs on the world around her. New sights, interesting objects, and mysterious goings on all deserve a closer inspection. She's the kind of kitten who wants to know what's happening, investigate for herself, and make sure no exciting development goes unexplored.

And then there's the floof. Her medium length coat gives her an extra fluffy appearance, but her truly outstanding features are those whiskers for days and her impressive ear furnishings. Those ears look like they belong to a distinguished older gentleman who has strong opinions about the thermostat and remembers when treats cost a nickel.

Of course, Parklet is still very much a kitten. Beneath that distinguished exterior is a curious little girl who's just beginning to discover the world and all the fun it has to offer. She's equal parts adorable and entertaining, with the kind of face that makes it very difficult to get anything done when she's nearby.

Curious Investigator: Wants to know what's happening and will happily conduct her own thorough inspections.

Whisker Wonder: Possesses an absolutely magnificent set of whiskers that deserve their own introduction.

Grandpa Ear Floof: Those fluffy ears give her the distinguished look of a tiny feline professor.

A loving home where she has plenty of opportunities to explore
A family that appreciates a curious kitten with a big personality
A home with toys, cozy resting spots, and lots of interesting things to investigate
People who understand that adopting Parklet means accepting a lifetime of admiring her whiskers

Interested?

Parklet is a little tuxedo masterpiece with the whiskers of a Victorian gentleman, the ears of a wise old grandpa, and the curiosity of a kitten who hasn't yet met a mystery she doesn't want to solve.

She's ready to find a forever home where she can grow, explore, and share her adorable, fluffy self with the people lucky enough to love her.

Part of adopting a kitten is watching their wonderful personalities develop, and Parklet is just getting started. One thing is already certain: those whiskers and that grandpa ear floof are going to be unforgettable.

Pumpkin is a big-hearted cuddle buddy with a very loud purr, a love of laps and couch blankets, and a habit of doing parkour off the walls when playtime strikes. Cheesy is a sweet, gentle soul who can be a little shy at first, but blossoms with patience and affection. Once things are quiet, she loves to come out and explore. Both are neutered/spayed with clipped ears from San Jose Animal Care, and will need updated vaccines.

Young (3 months 23 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

Emeril is a talker! He'll approach you for head scritches several times per day. New situations can make him nervous, so he needs a little time and patience to feel comfortable. He'll purr up a storm when you hold him in your arms.

Once Emeril starts feeling at home, his playful kitten personality begins to shine. He'll keep himself busy with exploring, playing with toys, and even making friends with the resident cat. He’s been chasing house flies and making some truly dramatic leaps in pursuit of his tiny flying foes! Every day brings a new adventure as he builds his confidence and discovers just how much fun the world can be.

Read more about Emeril

Emeril is looking for a patient, understanding adopter who will let him settle in at his own pace and celebrate all his little victories.

Adult (7 years) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

Don't let the name fool you, Grandpa may be getting on in years (around 7, though his exact age is a mystery), but he's got plenty of love left to give!

This handsome gray and white gentleman has spent much of his life outdoors, but he's made it clear that what he really wants is a warm lap and a loving family. Despite his rough-and-tumble past, Grandpa is affectionate, gentle, and an absolute sweetheart who melts at the first sign of a good petting session.

Grandpa gets along beautifully with other cats, so he'd likely fit right into a multi-cat household. He's neutered and up to date on vaccinations, and now all he needs is a soft bed and someone to spoil him rotten.

Playful and full of energy, Kobe adores his automatic toys and can entertain himself with them for hours. He's also a big fan of snuggling and being held, and he's remarkably social, he hopped straight into a new visitor's lap on their very first meeting. He's still learning gentle boundaries around play-biting, but it's all in fun and never rough or aggressive; he doesn't hiss or show aggression at all.

Even at the vet, Kobe was calm and easygoing during his exam, which speaks to his relaxed, trusting temperament. He's a genuinely affectionate, easy, people-loving cat looking for a home where he can get the attention he loves.

Kobe is being cared for by a member of the community in Daly City, CA. To arrange to meet this cat or find out more, please fill out our application here: https://www.thedancingcat.org/adopt-courtesy

20. Louisianna

Kitten (4 months 17 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

These sweet, playful girls are best friends who love racing around together. They have energy to spare, and give them a spring toy or a wand toy and they’ll happily play for ages. They’re very attached to each other and would love a home where they can stay together.

Louisiana and Thelmabelle can be wary of new people at first, but they’ve made wonderful progress. Once they feel safe, they come out to play and spend time with you. They don’t mind being held, and Churus are a sure way to win their hearts!

Read more about Louisianna

They enjoy playing with their foster home’s resident cats. They’re still figuring out the dog, though they’re curious enough to approach and sniff him. With time and a calm introduction, they may become comfortable with a gentle dog.

These fun little girls need someone who will give them time to settle in and build trust. They’ve already come so far, and with patience, their playful and loving personalities will keep shining through.

Prior to adoption, all kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped.

This kitten is currently in a foster home. To meet this kitten, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adopt

22. Captain Shane Howlander & Hudson Growliams

Adult (10 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

Shane & Hudson (both boys) are recent street cat rescues and have transitioned beautifully to indoor life in the past month & change. Both are adept at clay and pellet litter boxes, and are still learning about indoor noises but have adapted well with time (the dishwasher, laundry machines, and A/C no longer startle them at all). They’re fully up to date on their vaccines (Shane has one booster left on 9/28), are neutered, treated for fleas, have had a professional groom to get the street off of them, have clean bills of health from the vet with vet records available, and are microchipped. They may be very timid at first and take a little time to get comfortable with new people, but once they warm up, they’re total goofy loverboys who love to play and be pet and explore. Hudson quickly decided he likes being a lap cat and loves to cuddle nearby. Shane hasn’t discovered laps yet but he will knock you over for pets and flop on your feet for belly rubs (YES he means it!). They love to play with wand toys (Shane is OBSESSED with a suede tassel one) and chaser toys, and they enjoy watching out the window. While they haven’t really discovered cat beds yet, they have started to sleep on chairs/furniture, though they do love sleeping in the sink or on hard floors as well. Not sure how they will do with dogs or small children, but they have had experience with other cats and did just fine. Since they do still have some street cat skittishness and quirks, they may do a little better with an experienced cat owner but it’s not a hard requirement. Would love for them to go together if possible since they play & cuddle a lot together (suspect they’re half-brothers), but they can be split up too if need to be.

RouRou is the definition of a people-cat. She'll follow you from room to room just to be near you, trot over to say hello the moment a guest walks in, and ask for pets with an insistence that's impossible to say no to. Given the choice, she'd spend all day curled up in your lap or arms, she genuinely loves being held and cuddled.

26. Prose

Kitten (2 months 18 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Dilute Tortoiseshell / Mixed (short coat)

Some kittens are content to go with the flow. Nook and Prose? They have important kitten business to attend to! These two adorable, sweet, and playful sisters love to show off their big personalities, which really make them shine. They’re a delightful duo who balance curiosity, determination, affection, and plenty of sisterly shenanigans.

Read more about Prose

Nook is a kitten who lives very much in the moment. Give her a sparkly puffball (her favorite!) or just about anything she can carry in her mouth, and she’s off on patrol, proudly guarding her precious treasure from the invisible kittens she’s convinced are plotting to steal it. Once her important work is done, though, Nook is ready to unwind. She used to be happy just settling near Mom, but she’s discovered that a friendly lap is an even better place to recharge. This little toy protector has a soft side, too!

Prose is a girl with a mission. Jumping, climbing, and mastering interactive toys are high on her agenda, and she’ll happily work at a puzzle until she’s figured out every last detail. She’s even learning where the toys are stored, checking favorite shelves and corners to select her next project. Prose enjoys attention from her people, but when it’s time for a nap, she’s perfectly content to choose her own cozy spot.

Together, these sisters are a perfect blend of fun and companionship. They love chasing, wrestling, and inventing games together, then settling down for a nap nearby—or better yet, curled up in a kitten cuddle puddle. Their affectionate bond began with their mama, Kindle, and has grown to include their human friends, too.

Nook brings the toy patrol; Prose brings the next great adventure. Both bring sweetness, entertainment, and so much love to the people lucky enough to know them.

These sisters would love to find a home together, where they can keep each other company, share their daily adventures, curl up for cozy naps, and grow into the wonderful cats they’re meant to be. If you’re looking for a pair of lovable sisters with unique looks, delightful quirks, and a bond that makes everything better, these two might just be your perfect match!

Prior to adoption, all kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. Kittens under 5 months old must be adopted with a buddy or into a house where there's a kitten-friendly pet.

Nalia is the more confident of the two. She loves getting pets and is becoming sweeter and more affectionate as her trust grows. Chandler is still a little more cautious, but he’s discovered that a good belly rub is worth venturing out of his closet corner for! During the day, they both still prefer the security of their favorite closet, but they’re getting a little bolder every day.

These two love playing, chasing toys, wrestling, and curling up together for naps. They’ve done well with other cats and could be happy with a friendly feline companion.

Nalia and Chandler are looking for a quiet, patient home with someone who is willing to let them set the pace. An adopter who is home often and can give them time, treats, encouragement, and plenty of gentle affection could help these sweet kitties blossom. With the right person, we think their confidence will continue to grow—and watching them discover their new world will be incredibly rewarding.

After everything they’ve been through, these two deserve a safe, loving forever home where they can continue to grow together.

35. Mob

Adult (1 year) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

Mob is an approximately 8–10 month old neutered black cat who started out as a neighborhood community cat but has become increasingly social and interested in indoor life.

He is playful, curious, high-energy, affectionate, and a little chatty. He loves playing with a variety of toys, enjoys watching cat TV, and is a quick learner. He enjoys being petted, is comfortable being held, and is getting more cuddly as he spends more time indoors. He is not particularly shy with people he knows, although he may need a little time to adjust to a new environment.

Read more about Mob

Mob also does very well with our dogs. He relaxes and sleeps next to our corgi, allows our other dog to lick his head and ears, and occasionally even joins us on our dog walks. His compatibility with other cats is currently unknown.

He has some very endearing habits. He kneads his bed before settling down to sleep, and when he is being fed he gives enthusiastic head-butt “thank yous” while his food is being scooped—sometimes enthusiastically enough to knock a little food out of your hand and end up with crumbs on his face. He can be a bit of a messy eater, but it is part of his charm.

Mob is also a quick learner. Setting boundaries in the house has been relatively easy; if he gets into something he shouldn’t, a simple shoo or calmly carrying him away is usually enough, and he adapts quickly.

He is currently still living an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. He comes inside throughout the day to eat, play, and sleep and has started staying overnight, but he still asks to go outside at times. He has not yet used an indoor litter box and currently waits until he is outside to use the bathroom, so his adopter should be comfortable continuing his transition to indoor life.

Mob received FVRCP, FeLV, and rabies vaccinations when he was TNR’d. He also receives monthly flea preventative.

We think he would do especially well with someone who wants a young, playful, interactive cat and is willing to give him a little time to continue adjusting to indoor life.

Glinda adores people and happily leans into every head scratch and brushing session. Before long, she'll curl up beside you—or even better, right in your lap—for a cozy nap. She's also playful and enjoys batting around toy mice, scratching on her favorite scratching pad, and is perfectly litter box trained. Nail trims? No problem...especially when treats are involved!

Read more about Glinda

Recently, Glinda received a comprehensive veterinary evaluation, including bloodwork, urinalysis, FeLV/FIV testing, and a full wellness exam. She is in excellent health, fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and ready to begin her next chapter. Glinda is FIV positive, which simply means her veterinarian recommends an indoor-only home where she can safely enjoy many happy years ahead. She would be happiest as the only pet, where she can be the queen of her castle and soak up all the love for herself.

If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion to share quiet mornings, cozy evenings, and endless companionship, Glinda may be the perfect match.
