Sweet dreams from Rocco 💤🌛 This 15-pound adoptable pooch sure does love to cuddle. Tonight, he's dreaming of a forever family who won't mind sharing their pillows with him!

Telly is a delight to live with 100% of the time. There's never a dull moment with Telly around! She’s actually very easygoing. As a curious bottle baby with a can-do attitude and athletic body, Telly doesn’t understand the concept of “boundaries” but that just makes her a perfectly normal and entertaining young cat. She purrs readily, plays happily, and is very gentle. You're more likely to get a short cuddle session in between all the shenanigans and silly business if you let her come to you. It should be her idea, after all! This petite calico has no shortage of big ideas 🧡 She has been waiting 9 months for a dreamy cat-lover to come along and bring her home! Could it be you?

This handsome, friendly adult kitty cat is looking for a new home and a fresh start! Jackson is an 8-year-old adult neutered male cat and he's a lover that wants to snooze and be cuddled. While he's friendly with other cats, he has been bullied by other pets in the past, so Jackson would be perfect for someone with a quiet household looking for a sweet, low-key companion. In his previous home, the dog chased him repeatedly and this is the reason he is searching for a new family now. Jackson loves morning zoomies, warm laps to curl up on, and being a total "ham" for attention (that's how he earned his nickname, Mr. Ham Sammich). His blue eyes are slightly crossed in the cutest way. Jackson is an indoor kitty who uses a litterbox happily. Please contact Kelli at [email protected] or 281-899-9071 if you'd like to meet Jackson in Calistoga! Thank you for sharing 🐾

Just a friendly reminder that Rockstar and Power Surge are a fabulous pair of young felines. These brothers would be great cats for a family with kids and dogs and lots of love 🧡

Could Andy be the little dog you've been waiting for? This is the update from

"We have just one pup left from the "Napa Nine," as we're calling them. About a week ago, more than two dozen Chihuahuas were found abandoned in crates on the side of the road in Calistoga. Luckily, they were quickly rescued and brought to Napa County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center. Since the Napa shelter was already filled to the brim with dogs, we brought nine of the little cuties back to Marin!

Despite having to overcome tough circumstances, all the pups were eager for love and ready to make new friends. And now Andy is the last of the bunch! We think he's about 4 years old and he's just shy of 13 pounds. He's ready to meet you! Call Marin Humane at 415-506-6225 if you're interested."

Here's a sweet adoption update on the skinny senior kitty who turned up at a feral colony in Napa that WCAL volunteers manage and feed. This kitty's new name is Josephine, and now she is all comfy in her new home 🥰

This rescue was a team effort. Once the feeder confirmed she had no ear tip, a WCAL trapper got her into a carrier and she went to stay with another volunteer who stopped by the Napa County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center to have kitty scanned for a microchip on the way home. No chip was found, but almost magically, a last-minute spay appointment opened up at Napa Humane . They determined that she was an old gal, perhaps 10 years or so, and too senior for their high efficiency clinic. The next day, Ripple Effect Animal Project helped get her a normal vet visit for an exam and bloodwork where she was lightly sedated and a spay scar was found. After a short stay in foster, no one came forward to claim her. Luckily, some cat lovers who live near the colony got to meet her and decided she would be the perfect kitty for them to adopt. Here she is, sleeping happily under their tree! We have a pretty great rescue community 🧡

This young beauty queen was feeling festive and tested out a few new outfits! She's got big calico opinions but is also so loving and tolerant of her loving foster family. We're doing everything we can to help Telly find her forever family. She's looking for an indoor only home that understands that a special diet is key to her long-term health and happiness (allergies!). Thank you for sharing to help us send her home for the holidays 🎅🎄🐈‍⬛

Rocco is doing so well that sometimes I forget everything he has been through in his short life. I'm beyond proud of this little man. He has come so far. He loves cuddling and playing with his toys. Rocco has even gotten used to strangers. He is adorable and will make a great little companion for someone now that he is healthy! -- Love from his dedicated foster mom 🧡

Rocco somehow landed in the shelter as a 3 year old stray, but as cute as he is, he was adopted quickly only to be returned a few months later with serious medical issues (a flare up of his allergies that nearly landed him on the euthanasia list because it was so out of control). From there, Rocco moved to a WCAL foster home and his diet was carefully regulated and recorded, as was every single bowel movement! Once he was feeling good, he was adopted a second time and, within days, blew a disc in his lower back and became partially paralyzed. Back at his WCAL foster home yet again, he spent 12 weeks recuperating and relearning how to walk. Crate rest plus water therapy, stretching, laser treatments, you name it. Rocco is now ready for his third try at a happily after ever!

Certified cuddle bug? The most affectionate of them all? Ah, yes. You will most certainly want to adopt Berry Blast! He has a floofy tail, too 🧡

Love that new ear notch! 😁🙌 This beautiful feral kitty was trapped and spayed this week in Calistoga. We are seeing more and more unaltered outdoor kitties in town, and it always makes us nervous because we know how quickly one litter can become dozens. Luckily, this kitty has a responsible feeder who wants to keep her safe and healthy. He followed our team's instructions to a T for trap training, so she was a cinch to trap once the day of her appointment came along. Kiki will stay in a large dog crate with a WCAL volunteer to heal a few days and be released once the weather is a bit nicer.

Congratulations to little Bea because she was adopted this week! 🎉 She will have a couple of cat loving teenagers, an adult cat, and a chihuahua to keep her company! We are so excited for our little honey Bea, who waited patiently to be chosen after all her aisters went home. Her new name is Churro because she is so sweet! How fitting for this bottle raised, extra cuddly kitten. Thank you for choosing to adopt 🧡
