During one of ÌÇÐÄ¶Ì¾ç’ monthly kapon outreach programs, an unassuming white cat was found and rescued from an estero, and thus she was since lovingly called Esther. In the years since her rescue, Esther has turned into an elegant and enigmatic cat who loves people and attention.

Esther is often one of the first cats who will greet visitors in her area and she’s known to meow at anyone standing nearby, almost as if to say “Please sit down so I can sit on you!” After years at the shelter, this charming kitty is more than ready to find her forever home. We just know someone out there is the perfect match for her affectionate heart.

For many, the COVID pandemic might’ve been a time where everything felt like it was in a standstill. For others, it was defined as a period of change, good or bad. During that time, 3 kittens decided to follow one of ÌÇÐÄ¶Ì¾ç’ adult feral cats, Junior, to the shelter. It was as if they knew that Junior was going to be the one who would be able to get them the help that they needed.

At the shelter, the kittens were rehabilitated and have since then been waiting for the right people to adopt them. One of these kittens is Aida, a beautiful white and black cat who has transformed into a rather calm soul who prefers to relax. She gets along with other cats too and is looking forward to having a loving family she can call her own.

Fajita is a rather quiet cat who enjoys some alone time, but won’t hesitate to spend that time at your side, like the feline equivalent of the friend who just sits with you in silence. She has a gentle, calming presence that keeps you warm company, so if you appreciate quiet quality time, Fajita is your perfect pair.

    Lexus is a beautiful, fluffy mama cat who was rescued from a carwash in 2021 after the caretaker passed away, leaving behind 15 cats in need of help. At the time, Lexus had two tiny kittens she fiercely guarded, hissing at anyone who came too close to her little furmily.

    But with time and gentle care at the shelter, Lexus has come to understand that people can be kind. She’s blossomed into an incredibly sweet and affectionate lap cat who enjoys quiet companionship. Because she tends to tuck herself in the quieter part of the shelter, she’s often overlooked by potential adopters.

    Now, Lexus is patiently waiting for someone to cherish her for the big, fluffy baby she truly is. She dreams of a forever home where she can curl up in a warm lap, purr contentedly, and finally get the love she has always deserved.

    It was in the early months of 2019 when a small white-and-gray kitten wandered in the streets. He was taken in, nourished, and given the care he needed to grow—and grow he did!

    Jepoy was already full of wonder as a kitten: he was very curious and viewed the world as a big and fascinating place to explore. He loves it when visitors come by and will often run up for affection, eager for pets and attention. Having transformed into a more mature adult cat now, Jepoy still dreams of discovering this big and wonderful world beyond the shelter, this time hopefully from the comfort of a loving furever home.
