Adoptable SCAA Cats & Kittens

Health
SCAA foster kittens & cats ready for adoption have:
Feline virus vaccinations (Tri Cat or Fel-O-Vax) are given to healthy fosters starting either at 8 weeks old or 7-10 days from rescue with a second set 4-6 weeks later. Their rabies vaccination is not an official one. Spay / Neuter is generally done at around 5.5-6 months of age. For animals too young for surgery on adoption, SCAA will subsidize half the surgery cost at PAW for adopters. |
Temperament & Ideal Home
SCAA's foster cats and kittens may be from the streets, gardens, and lane ways of Shanghai, but they are not feral. Cats have their own unique personality. We have the right fosters for any home - from families, second cats, second pets, to quiet singles or couples. SCAA has cats that play fetch or walk up to visitors for a head rub and a few cats who jump at the slightest noise. But most foster cats fall comfortably along the average spectrum of feline friendliness; give them a chance to settle in and you'll benefit from cat companionship, affection, and entertaining animal antics. |
|
See * FOSTER ME ASAP * ? This means the foster cat urgently needs to move to a new foster home due to foster parent moving, travelling or being unavailable to continue fostering.
Please contact us at foster@scaashanghai.org if you can help! |

Mighty Max is one lucky kitten. He and his sister Gracie (recently adopted) were rescued late last summer as very skinny and sickly babies dumped in a rubbish and bug-infested garden. Max then received a lot of vet care for ailments relating to serious parasites.
Today, Max is a growing guy, very happy to play and snuggle, sometimes at the same time! He's a curious cat and easily bored, which means he's no quiet single cat type. Give Max space, a friend, toys, and plenty of attention and he's one of the best cats ever. |
If ever there was a cat who epitomized single catdom it's Chester. He's thankfully accommodating of his foster mate Ben, but Chester really wants to be the feline focus of your attention.
A real confident cat, Chester likes to claim your lap when you're home ('trying' to work) and he's always around greeting guests. As long as they don't smell like other cats, Chester can be quite welcoming. He's an ideal cat for a single or couple or family with older kids (no toddlers). |

Brothers from other mothers, Smokey and Oscar are happy foster buddies who would love to stay together, forever.
Oscar is from a trio of kittens rescued in the Fall. He's a soft ginger & white guy who likes attention, playing, and lounging around.
Smokey was as tiny kitten crying in a drain, eluding firefighters who even lowered themselves head first to try and rescue him. Typical kitten, he found his way out and was nabbed ASAP.

ROXY SECOND CAT / PLAYFUL / AFFECTIONATE / CURIOUS / SHY Female 1 year
|
|
|
|
Roxy is a funny cat - she's always in your line of sight, whether lounging next to your desk while you work or hanging around while you watch TV. She never fails to hop on the bed and curl up close. Roxy oversees any repair work handymen are doing around the house. Yet, despite being a 'Calico shadow' she's not one for being approached and picked up!
She was rescued as a tiny kitten covered in sticky glue from a rat trap. She hadn't had much human handling, but was patient and gentle despite being terrified of her initiation into foster care; an immediate trip to the vet to try and get the glue off.
Roxy loves butt scratches and purrs like a motor when gently patted. She's always with another cat (or a dog) - 'never without other animals' is Roxy's motto. She adores her disabled cat friend Coco (they both seems confused about an impossible mother-baby relationship!) but is an equal opportunity cat friend to other felines.

Add Ninja to any home for an instant pet. She's so curious and confident, she takes one stroll around to get the lay of the land, then makes herself at home.
Ninja loves watching the world through a sunny window and being around her foster family. She's a single cat but hardly independent! Needy for attention and curious about everything, Ninja likes to be included. She has a healed broken knee joint and it doesn't slow her down one bit. |
Ben or 'kinky' as his foster call him (due to his quirky kinky little tail) is a lover of a cat. He enjoys human companionship and insists on being mates with his fellow foster Chester. Chester would prefer being alone most of the time, but even he can't resist little Ben's charms.
Ben has grown big (not compared to giant Chester!) and strong after much TLC. He was rescues looking half-dead as a tiny kitten in the heat of summer. |

Alfie take the top spot for dramatic rescue of 2017. That's not a nice achievement considering someone drove him onto the elevated highway and tossed him over the railing onto a support Pillar. He was stuck there for days, crying frantically.
Amazingly, Alfie has put his past behind him and embraced a happy, comfortable life indoors. He thoroughly enjoys human companionship. Once you're friends, he likes being picked up, held and hugged - he lays his head on your shoulder. Alfie enjoys cat companionship almost as much. He's easy going with other easy cats. Alfie would be fine on his own with plenty of attention. |
Pretty Penny didn't start out that way after her rescue as a young kitten full of ringworm fungus! After lots of TLC and anti-fungal medication she was all clear. She was then ready to move to a foster home and a foster mom whose second foster had recently been adopted added her. Penny quickly decided she loves other cats.
Penny's foster mate is getting adopted this summer, so she's looking for a forever home with a big cat to befriend. She can be quirky - Penny snuggles up close at night and is always around when her foster mom i s home. But a strangers comes in and Penny vanishes. An ideal second cat for a friendly feline with patience for Penny's neediness! A quiet home is a must. |

Mia is a sweet & soft cat. She's finally gaining weight and developing well after lagging far behind her brothers. With no obvious illness, it seems Mia just didn't absorb nutrition properly. We're glad she's catching up now!
She's a sweet and needy cat. Often on your lap, unless she's chasing her cat friends around. At night time Mia really sticks close. So close she has a habit of kneading her foster mom. Mia is an ideal companion for a friendly feline who'd like to have her as a play and cuddle mate. |
Jackson is an awesome cat. He might not love other cats (he's easily bullied) but he sure loves kids.
Wandering around the planter in front of a hotel, Jackson pretty much rescued himself when he spotted an animal lover and locked on. An easy target, his rescuer brought him home. Jackson is playful and enjoys being around a family. When it's all quiet, he can be found happily snuggled up against one of the kids at nap time. Friendly & healthy, Jackson is a purrfect family cat. |

Wyatt is one fun cat. He loves other cats and can spend hours grooming or being groomed by his foster parents' tortie. Wyatt is playful - he's got his own iPad games (fosters are a tough act to follow!) and he enjoys chirping away like bird when your talk to him.
An accidental rescue - Wyatt hopped into the trap set for a scared kitten around parked cars. He was such a sweet tabby his rescuer couldn't just set him loose in the garden. He's been a happy guy in foster care ever since. A fantastic second or single cat (with plenty of attention) for a fantastic home. |
Eva is a glamorous cat - one can find her posing like the black and white movie starlets of old.
She's a single lady who knows what she likes, and that's being the feline focus of your attention. Once she settles in (a couple weeks) Eva more than makes herself at home. They way Eva figures it, she's all the cat any cat lover needs! Found on her own and (sadly) already spayed, she used to belong to someone. Occasional lap cat, always around, Eva likes to lounge and be included in her humans' daily routine. |

Yin is one of SCAA's longest-fostered cats. Rescued with his brother as abandoned and then bottle fed babies, his brother (Yang, of course) was adopted a while ago. But Yin has found his feline soul-mate in foster cat Freya. Together, they generate many sweet photos of affectionate friends.
Freya was rescued as a kitten covered in car grease in the back of a downtown parking lot. She's very close to people, but it takes a very long time to gain her trust. And Freya's circle of trust is limited! A small space in a quiet home is ideal. If Freya has Yin, she's set. Yin is a bit more adventurous than Freya, which makes him a good match. Someone follows and someone leads, and everybody's happy.
A pair adoption for a quiet home with experienced cat people is a great match for these lovely cats. Eventually watching Freya gain confidences and seeing her seek you out for head rubs is what owning a cat is all about.

Hercules has been with SCAA ever since his owners surrendered him nearly 3 years ago when they moved into no-pet housing.
He's been an adaptable and great guy, especially considering his multiple foster home moves. His time for genuine forever family is long overdue. Hercules is sweet and enjoys hanging out. He's a quiet guy who likes to be around people and is happy on his own (with enough human interaction) and gets along well with another friendly cat. |
Mia is a lovely tabby, a bit shy in a new place with new people, but once she warms up, she's a clingy kitty.
Relaxed and not very active, Mia is a good cat for a home looking to add a quiet companion animal. Mia is fostered with kids (under 12) and would integrate well into a forever family, provided children are supervised and understand she's not a cat you pull out of a napping spot to play. Mia's got a mind of her own and is happy to be with you - in her own time and on her own terms. |

Rafael is well loved in his foster home - by his foster parents and his foster parents' two cats. The female felines accept clingy Raffi and at nap time it's rare to count fewer than 3 kitties on the bed.
Rafael and his former cat mate Frusti were surrendered to SCAA over 2 years ago when their former owners left Shanghai to a country that bans the direct import of PRC pets. Always a second cat, Rafael was lucky to have a full house foster home when his mate was adopted. He's an initially shy guy, but once he warms up he's very sweet. A gentle soul. Raffi needs cat company. |
Hobbes is a lucky kitty. He's one of several cats taken in after a rescuer became overwhelmed with animals taken in from a garden. They multiplied and little Hobbes is one of the few survivors of a cat flu epidemic.
Making himself at home, Hobbes can be found lounging on your desk chair, the sofa, the bad, and whenever possible, a person. Finally getting bigger and stronger after a rocky start, Hobbes is still getting ready for adoption. He's got a little ways to go (and already people asking about him!). He'll be a purrfect pet soon. |
LARRY & EMMA Siblings 1 year
PURRFECT PAIR / FAMILY CATS FRIENDLY / PLAYFUL / CUDDLY / CURIOUS

|
Larry and Emma are inseparables siblings, so close it's rare to spot them apart. Napping, playing, lounging, or exploring - these two like to stick together.
Larry is the fearless explorer while Emma cautiously follows. They join forces to form a big tabby mass squeezing onto your lap. They're a perfect pair of pets for cat lovers. Larry likes to run around a bit more than his sister, but a home where he has enough attention is a great way to harness his energy into fun playtime.
When it comes to relaxing, these two offer plenty of photo ops. They're twice as nice as your average tabby!

Oreo is a long-fostered kitty. He's a handsome black and white cat who was raised since kitten-hood but has decided he needs quite a while to befriend a new human. But once he does, he's as sweet as his namesake.
Oreo loves bird watching and playing with other cats. His current mate isn't too keen on him but lets him hang out on the periphery of his confident cat zone! An ideal home for Oreo is a quiet one with another friendly cat. He's a curious and affectionate boy who blossoms with a little TLC and lots of patience. |
Elsa is a happy, friendly, and kittenish cat. She's not young anymore, but definitely young at heart.
Found on the hot sidewalk in 2016, she was emaciated, dirty, and had a badly healed leg fracture. She was also already spayed. We know from her happy demeanor that she once had a family, but her spay surgery confirmed it. She's a super single cat for someone with time and attention for her. Elsa loves to fetch toys like a dog! As a second cat she needs a gentle companion. |

Ellie is a petite tabby lady who purrs when you pick her up. She's a funny little cat. She can be a clingy kitty - from sidling up next to you when you watch TV, to snuggling at the foot of the bed, to following you to the bathroom in the morning.
When she's alone she tends to hide to sleep - a habit from when she struggled on the streets. An ideal home for Ellie is one with people around regularly and who will make a point of seeking her out if she's napping in a closet rather than lounging out in the open. |
Lilly is a lovely tri-colour tabby who enjoys being part of a multi-cat home. She's a friendly feline who follows her foster family around and likes to be included in your daily routine. She's fast friends with welcoming cat mates and seems to thrive when she's not alone.
Lilly is playful but not naughty. As a young-at-heart cat she offers an ideal balance between an energetic cat who likes to play with a relaxed cat who likes to hang out with her people when they're watching TV. |
SHERLOCK & WATSON Brothers > 10 months
PURRFECT PAIR / CUDDLY / CURIOUS / PLAYFUL / AFFECTIONATE

The Detectives are a super duper cats. Rescued just after they (and their sister Molly who died) were born and dumped onto a rubbish pile in a street-side cart, Sherlock and Watson have overcome many hurdles to b ecome healthy kitties. They are one of the loveliest pair of pets anyone could hope for.
Sherlock, living up to his namesake, is the more adventurous of the two and leads the way in making friends with new people and animals. Watson takes a bit of time to observe and happily follow. Once both boys are settled, they engage in friendly competition for your lap (or chest) and insist on squishing in together. The more the merrier when it comes to cuddles.

Lily Female < 1 year
Pair / Second or Single Cat / Family
Lovely Lilly is an excellent mix of tri-color curiosity with young cat cuddles. Fostered in a multi-cat home, Lilly is flexible with sharing and is a mentor to older foster Kayla. Lilly is an ideal family cat, second cat, or single cat in a home with the time to give her the attention she needs.
|
Kayla Female > 1 year
Pair / Second Cat / Quiet Home
Kayla's struggles as a half starved, parasite -riddled garden cat linger long after she's recovered. Kayla was underweight for months before finally catching up. Kayla adores her foster mate Lilly. She's cautious but cuddly. Difficult to pick her up, but be prepared for head butts!
|
Ruby Female > 1 year
Single Cat / Quiet Home
Ruby is a shy but sweet cat who visibly struggles with her desire to snuggle up to new people she's naturally wary of! She's adjusted well to her new foster home and enjoys the sofa, the bed and cuddling up anywhere off the floor. Ruby had an old, quiet, and gentle cat mate who moved away. Ideal cat for a quiet single or couple.
Marilyn Female > 1 year
Second or Single Cat / Family Home
Miss Marilyn has grown up in foster care, from a beautify baby to an amazing adult cat. Marilyn may have lost her foster buddy Jack to adopters ages ago, but she's made many foster friends since - cats and dogs. She's a social girl who likes to be near or next to people and enjoys a good head rub. Favorite places around the house include the sofa, the bed, and a cat tree.
Tabby Female > 2 years
|
Pair / Second or Single Cat / Family
Calico and her sisters were rescued as starving babies and all four sisters turned into amazing adult cats. Calico shows characteristic tri-color cat confidence, shares space with other cats, and is very dog-friendly. A lovely addition to any forever home as a pair with her sister or second pet.
|
Pair / Second or Single Cat / Family
Tabby (Calico's sister) has grown into a happy, playful, friendly, and patient pet - mentoring many little kittens in her (long) time in foster care. She's dog-friendly too. An ideal pair with Calico, second cat / second pet, or on her own as the feline focus of her adopters' attention.
|
|
Marianne > 3 years
Second or Single Cat / Family Home
Marianne is the sole survivor of a cat family taken in by a fake rescue group before a dramatic re-rescue. She's a sweet and quiet girl, close to her foster family. Marianne won't greet guests at the door, but she'll be a regular Calico cat fixture wherever you happen to be hanging out. A submissive cat, she enjoys feline friends but has rejected the idea of a puppy buddy.
|
Gabby & Scout < 2 years
Pair / Family or Quiet Home
Sister who've grown up close yet so different - Gabby the tabby is an "instant pet", making herself at home in new places with new people. Ginger girl Scout is co-dependent and takes a few weeks to take her cues from Gabby that it's all good to come out for cuddles. The girls are often together, even climbing on their foster mom, although Scout is quite large for that now (diet time!).
|
Bobbie Female < 1.5 years
Single or Second Cat / Quiet or Family Home / Older Kids
Where do lovely kittens (both inside and out) like Marley and Charlie, Bobbie's babies who were easily adopted, come from? Lovely mom cats of course. Bobbie is a beautiful bob-tailed brown tabby who was living in a downtown hotel and serviced apartment compound for over a year. It's a short life fraught with dangers. After her second litter of kittens and losing one who drowned in a fountain, rescuers decided to get Bobbie and her babies. Bobbie was initially earmarked for TNR, until she immediately proved herself to be a social and cuddly cat. She settled in soon after she arrived in foster care - destined for the great indoors, Bobbie purrs, plays and makes friends with quiet people and with gentle cats. But she's easily bullied by energetic felines so is ideal as a single pet. If Bobbie could talk, her most often used line would be "are you ready for bed yet?!" Parasite control, fully vaccinated and spayed, Bobbie is a sweet cat awaiting adopters.

|
Arya Female > 1 year
Arya is a lovely little lady now as lovely on the outside as she always was on the inside thanks to a few months of anti-fungal care for ringworm. A happy cat, she's a bit cautious on meeting new people, but when she's quickly sussed out you're a cat person, she's your cat. Following in older foster brother Dexter's footsteps, Arya is curious and playful but easily persuaded to lie down on the bed for a nap - foster dad most welcome to join them. Arya makes an ideal second cat, as a pair with Dexter, or a single cat in home where she'd get plenty of attention. Happy & healthy, Arya was treated for mild ringworm, is vaccinated and spayed.
|
Dexter Males > 2 years
Dexter has been with SCAA a while - another "mystery" for unraveling...quite easily when you see his handsome and quiet ginger and white profile up against the always adorable babies looking for a forever home. Dexter is an ideal pet - proven loyal, happy, and healthy. He's wary of strangers, but it doesn't take long to be friends. Dexter is a sunbeam seeking sofa and bed cat who enjoys being around people. Not a lap cat, but that's ok as he's a big guy who'd have a hard time squishing himself on your average lap. Looking for a calm yet curious adult cat well adapted to a comfy life in9oors and the everyday routine of a busy home then look no further than Dexter. A good single cat, second cat or a pair with his foster friend Arya. Fully vaccinated and neutered.9
