Tail-waggers
Evie is an approximately 6 months old, spayed tabby. Evie was rescued when she was just a few months old. She was a little on the shy side at first, but she’s become an absolute sweetheart who loves to be around people.
Evie loves being the center of attention and will sometimes nudge her way past the other cats for prime lap space. She loves to be held close and cuddled, and she’ll often rest her head on your shoulder and purr herself to sleep.
When she’s not soaking up love from volunteers or napping on the window sill, Evie’s playful side comes out. She is an active kitten with a lot of spunk and energy. She loves playing around with the other cats, and her eyes light up with anticipation when she sees someone bring a feathery cat wand into the room.

••• Dandelion was found with his mother and sisters at a homeless camp in Stockton, where a homeless man was caring for them. He asked a cat rescuer and Second Chance Kitty for help.
Dandelion and his family were sweet from the very beginning. Dandelion is an adorable little guy who is very loving and just wants to spend time with his human. He loves playing with other cats and can run off all his energy pretty quickly.
Dandelion is a lot of fun. He is very affectionate and loves attention. He couldn’t be more ready for a home to call his own.
Dandelion is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, deflead and FeLV/FIV negative.

••• Casper is an American bull dog mix. He was found in very poor condition wandering in Stockton over a year ago.
Casper is about 5 years old and weighs 52 pounds. He knows the commands “sit” and “stay,” and has good recall. Casper loves baths, and brushing will quickly get him into your lap.
He is neutered, his vaccinations are current, and he will be microchipped. Casper is a good boy, loves blankets, and walks well on a leash. He is not trustworthy around cats, but is great with other dogs.
