Our Cat Crew

Do the names “Bubba, Lila, George, Darla, Emma and June Bug” ring any bells? Petals, and these already adopted sweet babies who called our cafe their foster space, hail from the same 130+ cat colony where their owner passed away in the home. Although a bit on the quiet side at the moment, her foster reports that she is quite the talker! Petals craves human attention with her sweet and delicate meows. This 2 -1/2 year old Calico girl’s favorite hobbies include zipping into rooms Indiana Jones-style milliseconds before the door closes and viewing her loyal human subjects from high atop the cat tree. Will you give this sweet Calico her space to blossom?

Tessa is 1 of 5 kittens born on Independence Day weekend last year! They were found in a backyard without their mama on a very hot California day, so our rescue partner stepped in to find a foster for the little sweethearts. Now a little over 1 year old, Tessa has only 1 goal all day – to give and get LOVE. Is she up for lap time? YEP. Cuddles? YEP. Playtime? YEP and she loves to play and wrastle with her siblings. Although she can be a handful at times (her energy level is off the hook!!), this gal loves to burrow in and wait for her foster to come to bed and snuggle in (watch your feet!!). Tessa does very well with dogs, especially small dogs (think Chihuahuas). She is a sweetheart and one of the more energetic of the 5 kittens.

Frisky and fun-loving Petey is all about playing and cuddling! This orange and white 10-month-old boy may be petite but he’s a force of nature – he is always running, wrastling, jumping, snuggling and love-biting! There is never a dull moment in the lounge with this one! Petey was found at a local church trying to survive with other area cats and kittens – our rescue partner kept him since we has so friendly (he was trapped but not returned). It’s no wonder! Spend any time with him and you’ll want to keep him for yourself, too!

Born to a feral mama in April 2023, Fluffy’s cat mama did a fantastic job of caring for her and her 3 siblings, living a relatively care-free outside life in Red Bluff for a little over a year. February 2024 finds Fluffy learning that the feral outside life is NOT ideal for cats…after an illness living outside in the cold and wet winter, Fluffy started to show signs of having an URI. This URI has permanently affected Fluffy’s lungs – she snuffles and has moments of struggling to breathe. Not only that, her foster’s vet reports that she is almost 100% blind and upon adoption will be referred to a veterinary ophthalmologist to fully assess her ocular changes. Fluffy will need to be strictly inside only and THE only cat in a household where she has one human to care for her and keep her in kisses and safely tucked inside. Since she is a special needs girl, Fluffy cannot join us at the café – we do not want to risk her becoming stressed due to the amount of traffic we have here in the lounge and potentially subjecting her to germs that she may not be able to ward off. Fluffy is the first cat to be part of our Purrivate Pawtners Program where certain cats who can’t come to our café for a specific reason can be allowed to stay in their foster homes offsite until adopted. We will still showcase her and cats like her on our website and Facebook page but they won’t be physically present here. *If you are interested in a meet and greet with Miss Fluffy, please let us know so that we may arrange a private appointment with her foster, as she is located in our offsite foster space*

Somehow this little mighty mite managed to crawl underneath the hood of a pickup and hitch a ride back to her finder’s house. Crawford’s finder heard cries under the hood and it took him an hour to get her free. He hadn’t noticed any small kittens in the neighborhood, so he thought she possibly hitched a ride from the gym or Walmart. Since he had worked with Catnip and Cattitude before, he called her foster mom. She agreed to take Crawford into their rescue. She cried a lot at first but after a while her foster would put her in her lap and she would purr instantly. She only wanted to be loved on! The big kitties in the house didn’t want anything to do with her so it was decided to bring home another foster so Crawford could have a playmate. It took a while but after some spitting and hissing they are now the best of friends. Sweet and fluffy Crawford is almost 3 months old and counts her kitty friend Aphrodite as her BFF.

Sprout is a Spring baby from Willows. He was came from a large colony of cats with a feral mom. After being rescued, Sprout spent some time in foster care with several of his siblings and cousins – who he loves. He may seem shy at first, but don’t let him fool you – it doesn’t take long for Sprout to adjust to new settings and soon show you his normal, playful and friendly self. Sprout is a big fan of pets and love. Just look at that face and how can you resist?! He is a loyal companion to cats and humans alike, and is really good in a house with other kitties to keep him company. This little guy is a playful sweetheart who will be your best friend!

Just outside of Willows, are what they call the Gravel Pits. The Gravel Pits resemble swampy land covered in water and Lily Pads. It is also known as a dumping ground for kitties. That’s where our friends at Catnip & Cattitude found Lily Pad, and where her sweet name came from. They don’t know how long she was out there until she was rescued, but she eventually made it out. Tell us, would you like a trapeze artist? Lily Pad rounds, jumps, and flies through the air with her feet stretched out. Who knew she was a flying monkey? She is a fun loving rambunctious kitty who loves to play with her pals, but when it is tie to relax she can be just the opposite. She is a crazy gal with a spunky attitude and has a loud motor that revs up when she begins to purr. This girl is not just fun to watch, she’s a total sweetheart and great companion.

Ali is the sweetest little tuxedo dumpling! She was born to a feral mom in a busy neighborhood in Willows with a giant cat colony. She has been in a foster home with other kittens from her colony and has done very well there getting socialized and learning how to be a good little girl. Ali is a very calm for a kitten – she ADORES pets although she will be shy at first with new people. She would love to be adopted with another kitten or go to a home with an an adult cat who can teach her the unwritten big cat rules and grow and play and enjoy all that having a human all to yourself is meant to be!
