Needs Rehoming 🐾
1 year old needs home! Urgent!! Bay Area (Hayes Valley, CA)
Hi! I rescued this kitty a month ago. He got neutered, vaccinated, and has a microchip. He is cuddly, gets along with dogs, and is very well-behaved. He can be shy but is very sweet! I am unable to keep him and need to find him a loving home as soon as possible.
He responds to “hi,” so I guess he is his name at the moment! I made him an Instagram so pawtential forever home can see his little personality!
His Instagram: @ineedahomeplz
He comes with a free
- litter box/scooper
- crate
- cat toys
- some cat food/treats
- gravity food & water dispenser
- sleeping pad

What a cutie! (I have a soft spot for tabby boys because one is sleeping on my lap right now, lol.) And I love his Instagram account! He leads a much more exciting life than I do! I wish you well in your efforts to find him a furrever home.
u/catn_ip posted last year about how to rehome cats, and although the situations aren't 1:1 the same, the gist of the advice is solid (it worked!), and I think you'll benefit from it.
Part of the process catn_ip describes involves reaching out to as many rescues as possible. You've gotten things underway, but the Feral Friends Network can help you find more.
Fill out this online form to quickly get contact information for experienced local volunteers. Someone on that list may know about rescuers who can help you.
Another resource, in case you hadn't heard of it: https://bestfriends.org/partners [e.g. next county along] If you can drive/get a ride, that might give greater options.
Sometimes if you do a google search of your local area [e.g. type in state/county and then cat rescue] grass roots/smaller volunteer orgs might come up, and you can contact them to explain your concerns and see if someone can help rescue your boy.
I'll cross my fingers that you're able to find a home for this guy! Post in r/standardissuecat as well (as long as it's OK with the mods, ofc 😸). Please keep us updated!
You are amazing! Hope your kitty had a good nap! Thank you so much for this really helpful info. I am looking into all of it. Yes, I thought if people could see what he's like on his Instagram, it would help him find a home sooner :) Haha, he leads a more exciting life than me, too 😭🥲
He's got everything going for him, and his big eyes are hard to resist. All it takes is just one person to say, "I wish he were my cat." Keeping my fingers crossed!
HEY OP CONTACT A LOCAL RESCUE ORG IN YOUR AREA! TELL THEM YOU HAVE A CAT THAT IS FIXED ANS FULL VAXED AND YOU HAVE ALL HIS PAPERWORK. ASK THEN IF YOU THEY CAN POST HIM ON PET FINDER ON YOUR BEHALF! FIND LIKE 5 DIFFERENTLY GROUPS
It’s so cute. I’ll say hi in a high pitched voice and he’ll always say something back. If I’m not in the room he’ll come find me if I say hi in a high pitched voice. 🤣

Thank you!!!! I will reach out to them today. I contacted give me shelter sf and one other one but they didn’t respond. I might have to call these rescues.
"Hi" is absolutely adorable, I would take him, but I rent and I already live with three territorial kitties, so I cannot. I hope you'll soon find a loving home or a safe rescue for him. Thank you for caring for him.
I’m willing to do a lil road trip if that means he goes to a loving and safe home. I don’t know what the protocol is if someone wanted him from out of state. 🐈⬛
That is one of the sweetest faces I've ever seen. He also looks like a BIG boy. I'm all the way on the other side of the country, so unfortunately it is not feasible for me to take him in. But I am happy that you have done so much for him and that is important to acknowledge.
Right! Everytime I look at his face I’m like 🥹 Have all the treats! He’s so sweet. And he's actually really small. I was surprised at how small/short he is.
Agreed. I read some of the horror stories of free pets that end up in labs :( That’s why I’m avoiding Craigslist and trying to get a cat rescue to help as they do the full interview, ask all the right questions, etc! :)🐈⬛
The SF Shelter is the first place I took him! After the four mandatory days, they said he wasn’t adoptable (as he was too terrified of being “handled”) and they mentioned euthanasia. I was SURE they would give him to rescues they work with but they didn’t. I asked for the TNR program and took him home after that as I knew he’d warm up after he felt safe. And he sure did!!!! He was used to being fed etc before I caught him so I didn’t believe he was a total feral that needed to be released. He’s a very happy chap!
Ugh. The ACC is pretty good for a city shelter but this is sad. He’s really cute. I am not very familiar with cat rescues in the area, unfortunately. Do you mind if I share this off Reddit?
I forget if I sent an update! I found Puddles a forever home. Woohoo! A lovely college student officially adopts him on the 20th of this month! He is the snuggliest, friendliest, most curious boy! He became besties with my doxin. He’s obsessed with hair ties, chapstick, and my crystals lol. I will miss him!
