Wine Country Animal Lovers

Yesss! The humans are home and its cuddle time 😻 Yin's favorite part of the day is when her foster fam gets cozy and she sees someone with room in their lap for one little black kitty cat. While she may not be a social butterfly, Yin sure does love the people who share their lap with her! #adoptLOVE

Telly is a petite calico with big brains. Those who know her understand that she is actually the boss of the universe! Her ideal adopters also have big brains, a wonderful sense of humor, and creative ways to keep her entertained. She sure would enjoy a catio too! 🪴 🐈

One of the MANY benefits of Trap-Neuter-Return is watching colony cats grow up and learn to trust their feeders. This young beauty was trapped and spayed as a feisty six-month-old approximately 1.5 years ago. She has recently started letting the volunteers who feed at this colony get in a few pets.

Hattie (aka the Lady HatTrick) reminded us that we missed Tripawd Awareness Day yesterday! 🤦‍♀️ Her adopted humans wanted to share her 📸 to celebrate and raise awareness about the awesomeness of our Tripawd friends, both feline and canine!Hattie doesn’t need four legs to be a fab companion 🐾

Licorice happily accepts payment in hotdogs 🌭

When you're the neighborhood looky loo... I mean <<ahem>> neighborhood watch. Oh, Fiji! His foster home could not be safer 🧡 #adoptLOVE #noseycats #visitorswelcome

Adoption update from Rocco! Doesn't he look happy?! Rocco has a new dog friend and a new family. He's sleeping in bed with his new mom, and she helps him navigate stairs and get on and off the furniture. Dog walks and lots of love! THIS is everything we wanted for him 👏 🎉

Fiji is an especially people oriented kitty. While he gets along with everyone, Fiji wouldn't mind being the center of your universe! He's 2 years old and looking for an indoor home where he can lounge, play with toys, and be loved. Fiji eats Kidney Care kibbles happily and is a wonderful companion

This kitty is ready to love you! Her name is Yang and she's a sweet, happy teenage kitten. She really loves the highest shelf of the cat tree in her Santa Rosa foster home. Yang also enjoys the company of other cats. Ready for love?

Malbec is a vibe. A real stud muffin, his dark house panther coloring, and ability to blend into the shadows make him seem moody and dramatic even when he's playing kitten peek-a-boo! Malbec enjoyed this special adopt-me photoshoot and was thrilled to explore the studio 😽 #adoptLOVE #kittyvalentine

It's the month of luv, and Telly is hoping Cupid's arrow strikes true 💘 She is ready for adoption! This 10 month old biscuit maker is a real catch. Telly is easygoing and loving with big brains in a petite calico package. What else would you like to know about her?

🤘🐈‍⬛ Rock Star found a sunny spot to daydream about his ideal adopters. He's a huge fan of tiny pom pom toys and mice with little string tails. Do you have lots of tiny toys for this fun teenage house panther to bat around? If not, we can send him home with some!

✴️If you have a cat that has not been altered yet, PLEASE keep them indoors 24/7 until they can be spayed
✴️When you are told the next available appointment is 2-3 months out, please don't hang up! PLEASE take the appointment
We need help with the population explosion we're struggling with. Thanks!

The way to this pretty kitty's heart is to let her sleep with you each night 🧡 While Bitsy doesn't enjoy being carried around or held, she can not resist snuggling with a sleeping human! She's looking for an adopter who doesn't mind sharing the covers.

Hey, Licorice! You've got a lil chicken on your big, adorable nose...
👅
Good work -- you got it!

Same couch, different day! Bitsy is an easygoing companion, and she's doing a fantastic job keeping the couch warm in her foster home. She's looking for a cat lover to bring her home 🧡 You'll enjoy her gentle demeanor and quiet company. Please help Bitsy score an adopter by sharing - thank you!

How did Fiji get his name? He was diagnosed with early kidney disease as a baby so we named his litter after bottled water for added hydration! 💦😉 Now he's a thriving 2 yr old looking for an indoor home with humans who will appreciate his silly antics, pet his belly, and tell him how cute he is.

Rocco had a BIG week! This floofy boy is off on a trial adoption with someone who feels so lucky to have him in their life. Thank you to everyone who has donated to help WCAL support this loving dog as he recovered from a wicked combo of expensive medical challenges. Stay tuned for Rocco updates! 🧡

In a recent poll, only 1% of found pets brought into a shelter had ID tags! Including a phone number on your pet's collar is the easiest way for finders to contact you in the event of an escape. You can even write the number on their collar with a sharpie. Bonus points if it's your current number 😎

Merlot was a PURRFECT gentleman when his foster had house guests over! He soaks up attention and puts on a great show for humans of all ages. Merlot was even gentle with the youngest visitors. He's a catch with a fabulous temperament!

Did you know? Mother cats only carry kittens by the "scruff" for the first few weeks. After that age, the reflex causing a kitten's body to go limp is lost. Scruffing an adult is NOT relaxing for the cat & generally causes fear/stress rather than calm

He's a cuddly, affectionate kitty who loves to share your space. If there isn't someone available for touching, this sweet teenage feline will curl up and share the couch with a nice canine! Ask for adoptable Power Surge from WCAL's Energy Drinks litter. He's 💯 the one to hold paws with. #adoptLOVE

Ready for a bonded pair? These two friendly indoor tortoiseshell girls are in need of a new home ASAP! Ruth & Alice are 4 years old and located in Santa Rosa, CA. It's extra challenging to place a single adult cat these days, let alone a pair, so we are asking for your help! 🧡

Shiraz is enjoying her first week of happily ever after with her new adopter! These two met one another at an adoption event, and Shiraz worked her black cat magic because weeks went by, and her person couldn't stop thinking about this sweet kitty! Meant to be? 🥰 Thank you for choosing to adopt!
