Our Cat Crew
Petals
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,Petals craves human attention with her sweet and delicate meows – she also delights in getting in your way as you go about your daily business LOL. This 2 -1/2 year old Calico girl’s nickname around here is “Petals to the Metal!” for a reason: her favorite hobbies include meowing loudly RIGHT before zipping into rooms Indiana Jones-style milliseconds before the door closes and viewing her loyal human subjects from high atop the cat tree with a smug look on her face. Will you give this sweet Calico her space to blossom?
*Fluffy*
Born to a feral mama in April 2023, Fluffyâs 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 catsâŠafter an illness living outside in the cold and wet winter, Fluffy started to show signs of having an URI. This URI has permanently affected Fluffyâs lungs â she snuffles and has moments of struggling to breathe. Not only that, her fosterâs 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 cafĂ© â 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 canât come to our cafĂ© 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 wonât 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*
Loki
Some cats zoom, others boing…then thereâs kittens like Loki, who have specialized in the art of the low-key rumble purr. Not the loud growl of the Mustang or the obnoxious and overly anxious youngster trying to get your attention. This 5-month-old chooses another approach: he prefers a soft purr so unassuming that humans have to touch him to be heard. Pretty clever, Loki! He wants his humans CLOSE where he can savor them and show off his shiny and sleek black fur, slick like a pantherâs. Being held and petted by humans is his paws-down favorite thing, next to nibbling on treats and tossing up the occasional mouse who deserves to be rabbit-kicked. Will you become his next chosen human?
Tortuga
Goose
Dobbs
Sometimes your life starts out rough and then thereâs Dobbs and his siblingsâ lives – their lives started out behind bars! Cat carrier bars, that is. These 3 were born in a carrier when mama was en route to the veterinarian to be spayed! Mama was a successful TNR catch off of River Road in Chico and weâra happy to report, though, that all siblings have been absolutely thriving in their amazing foster home, where 10-month-old gray tabby Dobbs had a hurdle to overcome in his young life: the eyelashes on his left eye were found to be turned inward after many rounds of weepy eye and vet visits. He recently successfully recovered from Entropion surgery to correct this condition, and got the A-ok from his veterinary team! Safely tucked away in his foster home where he has received the most awesome TLC, Dobbs has discovered that he LOVES to give and receive affection – so much so that he will reach out and wrap his legs around your head when you are trying to love on him (but MOSTLY when you try to clean the litter box) LOL He says he loves to attack your legs or shoes almost as much as he loves toys and strings. He might just attack your heart when you least expect it.
Stella..and baby Luna
Mama Stella recently had 2 kittens – 1 passed away shortly thereafter and the other, is pictured here, Luna. Stella is a gorgeous Lynx-Point Siamese âtypeâ ( the âtypeâ because cream/white with Lynx Point colorpoints) with the most startlingly blue eyes youâve ever seen. Even though she is about 3-1/2 years old youâd never know it – she is extremely sweet and affectionate albeit a bit bossy, which is probably due to being a mama to her little, Luna. Luna is a bit over 3 months old and is the cutest fluffiest little bite-sized niblet. She has more of a Siamese appearance than her mom. Luna loves to cuddle, hang out and watch the goings-on in the lounge, pretty mellow for a kitten! Mama Stella and Luna would like a quiet and loving home together with no other cats and no dogs. Will your home -and heart- be the one they belong to?
Waffles & Pancakes
4-1/2 month old Waffles and her brother Pancakes were rescued living under some bushes outside of the old IHOP building in Chico. This sweet as syrup bonded pair are almost as fluffy as really good pancakes and just as appealing to the eye. They love nothing more than to sleep stacked snuggly warm on top of each other and if you slowly reach into their hidey hole and give them scratches, you’ll be rewarded with the richest rumbly purrs. While they love interacting with other cats, they adore playing with guests and each other equally – there is no sibling rivalry here! 
Rosebud
Gizmo & Leo
Some cats were born into the country/farm life the normal way (their moms gave birth to them in a barn or somewhere outside) and then there is Gizmo and Leo.. They were discovered when a farmer out on Hamilton-Nord Cana Highway heard a mewing INSIDE his farmhouse one day after he had worked in his fields and POOF! You guessed it – he had kittens! Our rescue partner stepped in to give him a hand and now these fluffernutters are charming everyone in the lounge, guests and lounge mates alike. Gizmo is the darker tabby with cinnamon roll swirls and mountains of floof and brother Leo is the lighter tabby with thick stripes down his back, equal amount of floof. These two are snuggly, playful young men that might just crawl inside your heart and want to make it home. If. you havenât seen what a potato looks like sporting a fluffy coat, you might just want to stop in and say hello to these boys!
Adoption Process
First you will make a reservation to meet our adoptable kitties. Adoption fees vary, according to the age of the kitten or cat.
All kitties over 4 months also have had their rabies vaccinations. All kittens have been spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, received their flea and de-wormer treatments, and basic booster shots.
Your new kitten adoption also includes a beautiful gift basket, a bag of our premium branded cat litter and a starter bag of kitten food. When you visit, let our staff know you are actively looking to adopt.
- Ask for an application - fill it out in its entirety and please donât forget to write in the top which cat you are applying for!
- We will take a photo of the application and text it to that catâs rescue representative.
- The rescue may or may not reach out to you immediately for a phone interview. Some of our rescues respond within the day and some take a little longer. Please be patient.
- We DO NOT have any control over the adoption approval process. All of our rescues operate independently of our business and as such we are completely removed from the adoption process. We will notify you if you have been approved when we are notified ourselves!
- Once we get an all paws up approval, we will be reaching out to you to setup a mutually beneficial day and time to finalize your new furry BFFâs adoption. If you get the ok over the weekend, itâs at our discretion when the cat can go home - this depends on current numbers of cats in the lounge at the moment, as well as events and other things taking place at that time. NOTE: We require our rescue partners to have a replacement cat ready  to come into the lounge once we have an approved adoption to keep cat staffing levels up, so it may be a few days before the process is complete. Please also take note that we are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays đ
- When you arrive to bring your new kitty home, please expect to spend about 15 minutes or so with us finalizing your paperwork. BRING A CARRIER, proper payment (cash, Venmo, or check made out to the rescue) and be prepared to fill out an adoption contract. We will go over your catâs adoption folder that contains its medical records and other papers, discuss food and litter requirements and take a photo of your new family for our social media posting.
- Go home and celebrate with kisses and belly rubs!! đ»đââŹ
