ADOPTION # 351: Copper!

✨🐾 Copper Has Found His Forever! 🐾✨

From shy café boy → confident bow-tie model

Some cats bloom slowly… and when they do, it’s absolute magic.

Copper, one of our trio of gentle orange brothers, spent months at the café learning to trust the world little by little. He and his siblings—Cheddar and Mango—would take turns hiding under their blanket and peeking out with those wide, curious eyes… with Copper always the first to push his nose forward, testing the waters. Every week he grew a little braver, a little more willing to be seen, and a whole lot more ready to love and be loved.

And now? Look at him now — outgoing, confident, and proudly modeling his new bow tie like the refined gentleman he was always meant to be. 💛🎀

Honestly… is this not the most handsome glow-up you’ve ever witnessed?

This 8-month-old sweetheart has transformed into a playful, affectionate companion who follows his humans with soft taps, joyful nudges, and a purr that turns on the moment you reach for him. His new family saw his gentle spirit immediately — not the shy café boy he once was, but the warm, sunny, deeply loving cat he has become. They fell in love at first sight, and Copper clearly felt the same.

We couldn’t be happier for this beautiful boy.

May his days ahead be filled with cozy blankets, sunny nap spots, new bow ties, quiet companionship, and all the affection his brave heart was waiting for.

Congratulations, Copper — your forever chapter has officially begun.

And for those who adored him at the café: his equally lovable brothers, Cheddar and Mango, are still seeking their perfect homes… and trust us, their own glow-ups are just beginning. ✨🐾🧡😻🐈‍⬛

ADOPTIONS #349 Taffy and # 350 Twizzler!

✨🐾 Taffy & Twizzler Go Home Together! 🐾✨

Forest Ranch sisters → adored beyond measure.

Some kittens walk into an adoption event and charm everyone within a few feet.

And then there are kittens like Taffy & Twizzler — who manage to charm an entire room the moment they enter it… and then zero in on the people who were meant to be theirs.

Last Saturday, these two 4-month-old sisters from Forest Ranch found their perfect match in a couple who fell head over heels at the very first pet.

Truly—it was love at first touch. Taffy, our buff tabby “Supervisor of All Litter Box Activities,” strutted over with her usual confidence and big heart, already acting like she was conducting an official home inspection. Twizzler, our ginger-swirled acrobat with the mysterious ability to appear in places “no kitten should reasonably reach,” added her trademark back-jump and tiny “eep” meow for good measure, sealing the deal instantly.

Best of all? Their new parents come with an enormous extended network of cat lovers who can’t wait to dote on them. These playful, spirited, wildly entertaining sisters are about to step into a life filled with more love, cuddles, laughter, and admiration than they could have ever imagined. From fearless climbs to synchronized butt-wiggles, from dramatic acrobatics to melt-your-heart snuggles—Taffy and Twizzie are about to become the center of a very big, very loving universe.

We are beyond thrilled for this pair.

May their days ahead be filled with soft blankets, new heights to conquer, endless toys, cozy laps, and humans who love them deeply—because that’s exactly what they deserve.

Congratulations, Taffy & Twizzler — your story just blossomed into something extraordinary.

And to their adoptive family: thank you for opening your hearts and home to these sweet sisters and giving them a lifetime of love. 💛🐾✨😻🐈‍⬛

✨🐾 ADOPTION UPDATE: # 347 Toe-Fu & #348 Skittles (now renamed Shoe-Shi, pronounced Sushi) Found Their Forever! 🐾✨

Forest Ranch polydactyl duo → forever loved pair

Some stories feel written in the stars… and this weekend, two of our most unforgettable kittens found the human who was destined for them.

Toe-Fu and Skittles — our four-month-old Forest Ranch polydactyl siblings with mitten paws and personalities far too big for their tiny bodies — were adopted together on Saturday during our pop-up event. Their adopter, who has cherished polydactyl cats her entire life, saw their extra toes and spark-filled little faces and immediately felt that familiar tug on her heart.

“Those are my babies,” she said — and we knew she was right.

Toe-Fu, our handsome black “Handsome Man” with the bonus thumbs, made sure she saw every bit of his charm: the purrs, the leg-grabs, the dramatic “hold me now” energy. Skittles, our dilute tortie acrobat and certified back-jumper, tested the waters with her signature shoulder-perch — the move that says, “If you’re mine, you’ll understand.” And she did.

Their adopter didn’t just choose them… they chose her right back.

It’s a perfect match:
Two wild-hearted, mischievous, deeply loving kittens who needed someone who understands mitten-paw magic — and a human whose heart has always had room for one more polydactyl (or two).

We are over the moon for this little duo.

May their new life be full of zoomies, hair-tie heists, dramatic baby-man monologues, shoulder adventures, synchronized biscuit-making, and every bit of joy only extra-toed kittens can bring.

Congratulations, Toe-Fu & Skittles/Shoe-Shi — your story continues.

And to their adopter: thank you for giving this bonded pair the loving home they deserved. 💛🐾✨😻🐈‍⬛

✨ Post-Event Reflection: 5 Adoptions & a Whole Lot of Heart ✨

Today was our first off-site adoption event since closing our café space temporarily — and we weren’t sure what to expect.

Would people still come?

Would they remember us?

Would they drive out to a clinic lobby just to see the cats?

The answer was a loud, beautiful YES.

Not only did you show up — you helped us get five amazing cats adopted into loving homes. That alone fills our hearts. 💛🐾

We also want to be transparent: today came with a few challenges.

Running pop-ups without a dedicated café space means we’re operating with new systems, new spaces, and sometimes unexpected hiccups. We learned a LOT today about what we need to tighten up to make sure every cat has the right bio, the right information, and the right chance to shine.

But even with the bumps, here’s the part that mattered most:
YOU still came. YOU still supported us. And YOU reminded us that Chico Cat Café is more than a building.

It’s a community.

It’s a feeling.

It’s a mission.

And it’s the belief that every cat deserves a chance to be seen, loved, and adopted.

Thank you for sticking with us through this transition.

Thank you for showing up even when things aren’t perfect.

Thank you for believing in what we do.

We have more pop-ups coming, updates on our next chapter, and — thankfully — lots more cats to introduce you to.

We’re here, we’re learning, and we’re not going anywhere. 💛

Come back here tomorrow to read about the fabulous cats who met their people today and left an indelible impression on this little café without a home (yet!) 😻🐈‍⬛
