Venus update! She is now ready for adoption! When Venus first came to us, she was just 5 weeks old, battling a severe flea infestation that left her dangerously anemic. She was weak, pale, and barely had the energy to lift her head, but with round-the-clock care, bottle feeding, and plenty of love, Venus slowly began to heal.

Now, this little warrior is ready to find her forever home. Though still small for her age (12 weeks), Venus has grown into a healthy, playful kitten with a big personality. She adores cuddles and loves to play, always curious and full of energy. Venus will thrive in a home with another young kitten or playful cat to be her buddy and help her continue learning how to be the best cat she can be.

Venus is the perfect mix of sweetness and s***k, and she’s ready to bring endless joy to her new family. If you’re looking for a tiny kitten with a big heart, apply to adopt Venus today!

Adopting a cat is a beautiful journey, but it’s important to remember that it takes time for them to adjust to their new home. The 3-3-3 rule helps guide this transition:

🐾 3 Days to Decompress: Your new cat may feel overwhelmed and unsure during the first few days. They might hide, be reluctant to eat, or test boundaries. Give them time and space to feel safe.

🐾 3 Weeks to Learn the Routine: After three weeks, your cat will start to understand their daily routine and show glimpses of their true personality. They may begin to realize this is their forever home.

🐾 3 Months to Feel at Home: By the three-month mark, your cat will likely feel comfortable and secure in their new environment. You’ll start to see them fully relax and embrace their new life with you.

Patience and love are key during this adjustment period. Remember, your new feline friend is learning to trust and feel safe. 💕

So what is FIV? 🤔

There are so many acronyms in cat rescue! If you are looking to adopt a rescue cat, you may come across the terms FIV+ or FIV- and wonder what they mean. Before scrolling past these cats, or diving into outdated research, brush up on the quick facts about feline immunodeficiency virus, and consider giving a FIV+ cat a chance!

FIV+ rescues tend to wait longer than FIV- cats simply because people are nervous about what it might mean for their future. FIV+ cats can (and do) live long, healthy lives once indoors. With preventative vet care, an indoor home, and spay or neuter surgery, a FIV+ cat makes for as sweet a companion as any cat.

If you’re ready to give a FIV+ cutie a chance, start by checking out adoptable cats Snowcone (see our linktree!), Amira ( ), Flick (.street.cat.club), and Chamomile (). For more questions about FIV, feel free to DM us for info, or talk to your vet!

Looking for a long term foster (6-12 months) or adopter for this beautiful bonded pair. Owner is moving overseas and needs to find placement while they get settled.

Gordon (male, 13) and Steven (female, 12) are a bonded pair of healthy, energetic adult cats. Gordon is highly intelligent with a big, loud personality. He takes some time to trust strangers, but he’s loyal, affectionate, and funny once he warms up. Steven takes no time at all to warm up—she demands pets, cuddles, and attention from anyone who crosses her path. She’s a purring machine, but is otherwise a quiet, well-mannered little lady. The two are good old friends, often grooming each other, playing, and snuggling. Neither has any current health issues.

Our poor Violet surprised us with a rapid decline from what we thought was a manageable road with Chronic Kidney Disease. Her numbers weren’t the worst we’ve seen on intake, but her little body had other plans. She was greatly loved and cared for by her foster and others.
Rest easy Violet. We love you.

Meet the gang: Raisin 🍞Bread (M), Everything 🥯Bagel (F), Hawaiian 🌺Sweet Roll (F), and Pizza🍕Bite (F)! These resilient kittens came to us in dire condition, with sealed, crusty infected eyes, making it difficult to predict their outcome. Over the course of a week, we bathed them to remove fleas, cleaned their eyes, and applied Terramycin 3x/day to treat their eye infections, all while bottle feeding them formula until they were fully weaned. They’re still receiving oral antibiotics and topical eye medication, and have gone through one round of deworming. We’re thrilled to witness their weight gain, increased interest in food, and improvement from their eye infections.

We are trying to save one of the eyes on Everything Bagel and both eyes on Raisin Bread. We are working with our vet to continue a plan for partial or full recovery ‼️

Stay tuned for more updates on this amazing sibling crew and the recovery of their eyes💞

We said goodbye to our long term retiree Sloth this afternoon. She had a good run. She was pulled in from the colony looking very sick, and promptly diagnosed with end stage kidney failure and a 4 month life expectancy 2 years ago. She thrived in her last years living as an indoor feral in my cat room. We called her the “Den Mother” as she oversaw all of the hundreds of cat rescues that came through over the years. Perched up high on her shelf. Slow blinking and ever so sweet. I know RIP posts are usually black and white, but Sloth lives on at Ocean Hill Cats forever. Her little furry spirit will be watching down on all our future rescues as they enter the doors and exit with a brighter or more peaceful future. WE LOVE YOU SLOTH BABY🥲

This is a courtesy post for ,they need an immediate foster for their cat due to a personal situation at home, if you are interested in fostering or adopting Violet, DM them‼️

Meet VIOLET🐱 This playful and lovely tuxedo cat is a cuddler but also a very independent spirit. She loves playing with toys that she can chase and wrestle! Violet is outgoing but can be shy and sometimes needs some time around a group of people, but that doesn’t stop her from loving pets and cuddles from family and friends.

Violet is spayed, FeLV/FIV negative, up to date on vaccines, treated for fleas & dewormed! This beautiful tuxedo girl would thrive in a kid free home and would prefer to be the only cat in the house and get undivided attention🥰

If you need a best friend and can give the right attention -Violet will love you💕
