Featured Success Stories

The Selden family has been rescuing kittens from a nearby feral colony since 2022. We trap, socialize, and rehome the kittens to welcoming families.

These cats have never known what it’s like to be loved by a human, but caring touch combined with a full belly and a safe environment leads to the most amazing transformations. We focus on kittens because they are young enough that they don’t yet have the fear and aggression that is characteristic of adult ferals. With our efforts the kittens are able to be rehomed and their behavior is indistiguishable from normal housecats.

Thanks to the support of our friends, family, and community, we have placed dozens of kittens in wonderful forever homes. We’ll keep helping these cats for as long as we can and as long as we’re needed.

Athena

September 7, 2025

Athena is a lovey tortoise shell found on a friend’s porch. She is very sweet and if our experience with other torties is anything to go by, she’ll be quite the sassy one when she gets older!

Casper

September 7, 2025

Sometimes we call Casper “Tom Selleck” because of their very prominent mustache. They got the name Casper because they used to be called The Phantom when they were found on a friend’s porch. Originally given that name because they were scared of people and would never let you close them, once they met our other kittens and learned the wonders of a full belly, they definitely became the friendly ghost.

Mochi

September 7, 2025

Mochi is the most people-oriented kitten from the batch found on a friend’s porch. He often forgoes breakfast to stand up and cry to be held and is very content being carried around. It’s always a roll of the dice whether he’ll just sit on your lap and purr or find something else to entertain himself.

Sriracha

September 7, 2025

Sriracha was feisty when we found them on a friend’s porch. Since then, though they’ve really warmed up and will settle down on your lap.

Finn

August 21, 2025

Finn was the final kitten from the park litter to get caught, always lingering close to mom and slow to follow the other kittens to explore the treats we left for them. Since getting caught, Finn has warmed up quickly and is the largest of the litter, maybe even part Maine Coon. Even though they have an independent streak, after a bit of adjustment, Finn is quick to settle down with you and purr.

Smudge

August 20, 2025

Smudge was the third kitten to get caught from the park litter, but it was their second time getting trapped. They were the one that managed to slip away when Millie was caught. Despite that, they are warming up to people very quickly and really seem to enjoy sitting on laps once you’re settled down. Smudge is very adventuresome and eager to explore, but always comes right back when the food comes out.

Millie

August 19, 2025

Millie is the second kitten caught from the litter found at a nearby park. Millie is smaller than her littermates (except Rusty who was severely malnourished), long-haired, and all black. Millie can be a little surly when you first pick them up but they warm up to cuddles very quickly and within minutes are nestled in purring on your lap.

Rusty

August 15, 2025

Rusty came to us from a neighbor who found them on a walk and knew that we rescued kittens. It turned out that they were the first of a litter of kittens found at a nearby park. They were skin and bones and had a cold when they arrived but otherwise in good health. Some hearty food and a soft place to sleep does wonders. They are extremely people-focused and demand to be held whenever possible, preferring to settle on your shoulder or chest for a good nap. I hope you don’t want to nap at the same time because their loud purrs may keep you awake!

Beezus

May 13, 2025

Beezus is the mom of the litter of kittens found together in the Pocket neighborhood of Sacramento. You would never know from her tiny stature or obvious youth that she was a mother of four! It’s clear that Beezus has never been part of a home, but unlike many ferals she isn’t at all aggressive. Even from the first day we brought her home she would tolerate us petting her in a cat carrier with nothing more than some hissing. Once she was totally healed from her spay surgery, we decided to try letting her out in the house to see how she would do.

Hershey

May 13, 2025

Hershey is one of two black kittens (but with a trace of tuxedo white on their chin and belly) that arrived along with their litter mates near Mothers’ Day. While humans a little bit tall and scary, it doesn’t take long for Hershey to settle down and purr while you hold them close to your chest and pet their head. It’s clear that Hershey will be a huge cuddlebug!

Kit Kat

May 13, 2025

Kit Kat is the pure tabby from a litter of kittens found together in the Pocket neighborhood of Sacramento. They have very striking marking with stripes so prominent that you can see their long lost relations to their tiger bretheren. One of the most adventurous kittens we’ve had, they are always among the first to discover the new toys or treats that show up in their crate. They will keep their forever family busy but don’t worry, they’re also a big fan of cuddles.

Skittles

May 13, 2025

Skittles arrived along with their litter mates at the same time we still had kittens from Dolly’s litter. We’re still getting to know their personality but Skittle’s huge eyes and oversized ears will win you over! Playful and curious, they’re warming up to humans very quickly and getting used to having a full belly!

Tootsie

May 13, 2025

Tootsie came in with their litter mates from a friend who lives close by. They’re black with hints of white tuxedo on their chin and belly and when they’re not wrestling with their siblings, they love being held close and pet. They’ll stay with you until they notice a toy that desperately needs their attention, but it’s nothing personal. Tootsie is hoping your forever home is the right one for them!

Immi

October 24, 2024

We initially thought Immi was the mom of the four kittens found near the ceramics facility but found out he’s male when his spay appointment turned into a neuter. We caught him the day after the kittens which must be his kids and he is just as sweet as they are. Now that he’s neutered and the kittens are out of the house, he’s ready for his forever home but you’ll need to be a fan of lap cats!

Penelope

July 8, 2024

Starved for both food and affection when she first arrived, Penelope was dumped near the colony with her four kittens: Tuna, Spider Lily, Espresso, and Firefly. We would later find out that she was also the grandmother of PJ’s kittens having had an earlier litter that included PJ. Despite all of these kittens, Penelope is still young, 2 years old at most and easily one of the sweetest adult strays we’ve ever had with us.

Bee

December 30, 2023

Bee is one of the few adult (adolescent, actually) cats that we’ve removed from campus. Living in the most populous part of the colony, we saw Bee as a kitten but were unable to trap them despite weeks of trying. When Bee was about 6 months old, some of the folks who feed the cats reached out to us believing them to be pregnant. We were able to track Bee down and got convinced of the same.

Ramiel and Lunar

September 16, 2023

Rami and Lunar are an exception to our kittens-only rule. They are long-term fosters and waiting for the perfect home. Likely not socialized with other cats at a young age, they don’t have the best cat behaviors so it would be better for them to be in a household without other cats but with the right personality they may coexist just fine so we’ll leave that up to their forever family to decide.
