Meet three month old Rosemary, the tiny acrobat with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This fluffy white cloud is playful, curious, and always ready to climb his way into your day. He’s a little feisty in the funniest ways, incredibly inquisitive, and melts into a puddle of cuddles the moment he’s in your arms.

Rosemary loves solo play, sibling play, mama time—honestly, he just loves life.
His favorite activities include:
• Snuggling on your bed
• Following you from room to room
• Belly rubs and brushing
• Being held like the little marshmallow he is

His energy is the perfect mix of very playful, independent, and companionable. He can self‑entertain, but also loves interactive play—especially with wands, trackballs, and laser pointers.

His dream home includes:
• High perches and window seats
• Cozy beds, tunnels, boxes, and sunny spots
• Scratching posts and cardboard scratchers
• A human who appreciates a social butterfly who startles at loud noises but recovers quickly with play

If you’re looking for a kitten who brings joy, comedy, and cuddles in equal measure, Rosemary is your boy. 🌿🤍

Meet Rosemary and his oh-so-adorable siblings at our PetSmart Encinitas adoption center!

🧡Meet Garfield 🧡 the cat who deserves his own fan club. This handsome two year old orange legend is basically a dog in a cat suit — loyal, people‑oriented, clever, and always ready to hang out. He’ll follow you around, sleep on your bed, rub against your legs, and soak up every bit of affection you offer.

He’s also very food‑motivated (like… very). He can open kitchen cabinets, so consider him your new sous‑chef.

Garfield thrives with room to roam, sunny spots to nap in, and humans to adore. He’s mellow, companionable, and smart enough to entertain himself — but happiest when he has company. He's indifferent to kind dogs and children ages ten and up that are gentle would suit him just fine. Especially if play and snuggling are on the agenda.

What Garfield Loves
👉Snuggles & companionship — sleeps on your bed, follows you, loves brushing
👉Playtime — wands, lasers, rattly mice, springs, catnip
👉Cozy spaces — high perches, window seats, couches, boxes, sunbeams
👉You — he adapts quickly and settles in with ease

If you’re looking for a sweet, calm, intelligent companion who will make your home feel fuller and warmer, Garfield is your guy.
He’s ready for his forever home — is it yours?

💛Meet Patches 💛 The sweetest, most easygoing boy you’ll ever meet. This gentle guy was found abandoned, but you’d never know it from how loving he is. He’s a total snuggler who’s happiest curled up in your lap or snoozing beside you in bed.

Patches is seven years old, mellow, independent, and perfectly content to spend his day relaxing, watching the world go by from a window perch, or enjoying a cozy nap. Every now and then he gets a cute burst of energy and will bat around a ping‑pong ball or enjoy a little catnip fun — he’s still learning the joy of toys.

He’s FIV+ and on a simple medication/supplement routine, but he adapts easily and takes everything in stride.

✨ Patches’ Favorite Things ✨
Lap time & bed snuggles
Gentle pets and rubbing against your legs
Following you around the house
Window gazing
Ping‑pong balls & catnip

If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who just wants to love and be loved, Patches may be your perfect match. Read more about Patches and inquire to meet him on our website.

💞Meet Ed and Wilbur 💞, a special bonded pair of affectionate, two year old people‑loving brothers who are ready to bring double the love into their forever home. Just look at how much they adore one another!

🐾Ed, his equally loving brother, is a reserved but deeply affectionate boy who adores physical closeness. He’ll follow you around, stand on his hind legs asking to be picked up, and even rest on your shoulder like a baby. His long, silky fur needs daily brushing, which he enjoys as part of his bonding time.

🐾Wilbur is a gentle soul who thrives on kindness and connection. If you sit down, he’s in your lap — yes, even in the bathroom. He’s your constant companion, always ready to soak up cuddles and attention. At bedtime, he’ll call for you and happily curl up in your bed for the night.

These two boys have been together since kittenhood and are truly inseparable. They balance each other beautifully — Wilbur’s gentle clinginess and Ed’s tender devotion make them the perfect pair for someone who wants loyal, loving companions.

✨ What They Love ✨
Being together
Lap time and sleeping in your bed
Following their humans around
Wands, rattly mice, springs, ping‑pong balls, and jingly toys
Window perches, cozy couches, and boxes
Gentle kids 10+
A calm home with patient adopters

They may need a couple of weeks to settle in, but with understanding, treats, and a little patience, they blossom into affectionate shadows who want nothing more than to be part of your world.

If you’re ready to open your heart to two devoted brothers, Ed & Wilbur are waiting to meet you at The Cat Cafe downtown San Diego. You can also read more about them and apply to adopt them on our website. rescuehouse.org
