There’s not much in this area except the shelter we got her from - to which she will return, soon, if we can’t find her a good home.
Yeah, you’ve got it in one - she spent the first few days hiding under the bed, then she started fighting it out. We’re keeping her separated from the other two, but that’s untenable in the long term.
Whoops. Not so fast. There are quite a few in the Bay Area.

There’s more. Here’s a site that has a bigger list: www.safehavenanimalsanctuary.org/resources/rescue_groups_shelters.php
I think anyone on here from the area that would take in a cat already has at least one cat already. And that obviously wouldn’t work.
By “this area” I mean way up near Pittsburg. I’m not inclined to drive her for most of an hour when it’s not to a forever home.
Ah, understood. But one of them might be willing to come get her. The rescues in the Bay Area are pretty determined - they just found a forever home for a dog who’s been up for adoption for several years.
That’s certainly a consideration, as I’m pretty sure the Antioch Animal Shelter is a kill shelter.
I’m sorry to hear that. I took in an adult cat once from a friend who turned out to be incredible aggressive with my other cats, and it turned out to be impossible to find a home for him. I ended up giving him and a donation to a no-kill shelter up in Santa Rosa. I’ll keep my ears open for potential homes.
Dog owners have yet another reason to be insufferably smug.
This man had wanted an English Bulldog for years, but his wife kept objecting.
His daughters and granddaughters finally convinced her to let him one.
Awww. This is so cute.

Koko turned 44 recently, and received a litter of kittens as a present. Looks like she’s already handling them pretty well.
I’m really glad this didn’t end with “…and she found them delicious.”
Had to share this
Of course, I think she’s lucky as hell to have 6 Scotties.
This is too good to not share.
Want to go to the park?
My dog does pretty much the same thing when we get close to the dog park. These fenced in dog parks near where I live are a godsend for Siberian huskies like mine since they’re known runners that don’t listen to commands very well.
I took Rudy to a park that we hadn’t been to before last weekend. Once we got to within a mile from it, he must have sensed it somehow because he got really excited without me mentioning it.
I wish humans were like this.
By the way, November is “Adopt a Senior Pet” Month, at least in the US.
We don’t have a national adoption day, all our different charities and shelters hate each other too much to pick a date.
Even the RSPCA and RSPB hate each other 
Preaching to the choir, man. I used to work at a non-profit. Those people can be evil.
Dogs have no sense of proportion:
“OMG Poppa’s not sharing his food with me! I’m going to STARVE!”
(this about two minutes after I refilled her food dish, btw)
