Gamera (M) Approx DOB 4/1/24

Hi, I'm Gamera! I was born on April 1st at around 1 am, along with my five siblings. My mom was found at a 7/11, and we were born shortly after. I'm a mini version of my mom, and I love to greet you when you come in. I have a feisty personality and enjoy playing with feather toys. I'm cuddly when I want to be, seeking out affection on my own terms. With my unique mix of playfulness and occasional cuddliness, I'm sure to bring a lot of joy to your home.

Meet Bubba! This BIG approximately 6 year old boy will steal your heart. In April we received a plea to humanely trap & treat a community cat who was extremely ill & suffering from an infected leg wound. His leg had a terrible skin infection from several puncture wounds. His body showed signs of years of battle wounds & his ears tattered. Once he was in a kennel for after care, this big, sweet boy showed signs of sincere gratefulness to no longer be suffering outdoors. He used every opportunity to lean into his fosters hands for affection & even with an injured leg, made biscuits. Once he was no longer under sedatives, he was allowed to have his own bedroom in hopes he would show signs of being able to live indoors permanently. Immediately Bubba was quick to lounge on a cat tree, use his litter box exclusively, scratch the scratching post, & play with toys. At 19 1/2 pounds this giant panther now clumsily zooms through the his foster’s home with short bursts of energy, throwing toys around, chasing wand toys, & playing hide & seek. 90 percent of the time he just wants to lounge close by the humans. Bubba is quite vocal but is barely audible with a low, raspy meow letting you know he’s missed you & would like all the pets or its time for snackies. As you probably guessed, he loves food. He loves treats & catnip & any fishy wet food. It is extremely difficult to imagine that this incredibly sweet & affectionate cat spent over 5 years surviving outdoors. He has made zero attempts to leave the fosters house when a door opens. Years of fighting to survive has resulted in the inevitable for so many of these cats suffering outdoors, Bubba has FIV. Some quick internet research will tell you that FIV is not a death sentence, it just means that if Bubba gets sick it is harder for his immune system to fight it. Bubba has also made it clear that he doesn’t trust other animals, which makes perfect sense given his circumstances. He wants to be your one & only. You can meet him by applying to adopt & setting up a meet and greet.
Apply to adopt Bubba today & give him the lifestyle he deserves after all these years.

Thank you Pet Emergency & Specialty Center La Mesa for coming through when we received this urgent plea about kittens dumped with a foxtail in one of their eyes! Even though we are SO full right now & we’re on an intake hold we could not leave these babies out there in the shape they were in.
This is the reality for kittens born outdoors and it is the time of the year where every rescue is flooded with kittens from when it first started getting warm outside while more are born everyday. It is impossible to keep up. You can help kittens like this by spaying/neutering cats in your neighborhood through local Community Cat programs aka TNR. Spay/Neuter your own pets to prevent accidental litters that keep rescues/shelters full and take the spots of kittens in real need like the ones we took today.
