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.

Hershey

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

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

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

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!

Samoa

Samoa is the bravest kitten in the Dolly’s litter. They are always eager to play and explore and quick to run off and find new places to hide and climb during playtime. They still love to be held and pet as long as it’s on their schedule!

Dolly

Affectionately known as The Dolly Momma, Dolly was found by a friend of a friend in their back yard. She had decided that tucked under their patio furniture cover was a great place to have her litter of kittens. The kittens were less than two weeks old when we found them but we were able to safely trap them all and bring them home where they could be safe and warm. Since then, Dolly has shown herself to be a very caring mom and has raised her little ones into five adorable and energetic kittens.

Immi

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

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

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

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.
