Does everybody recall Rex? I just spoke to his mom and they could greatly benefit from our collective support during these challenging times. Here’s the link to help them out.

Hi guys, I’m just really losing my passion for rescue, I think. I can barely even force myself to log in and post anymore. Just so many negative things over and over and over, my heart can’t take it anymore…and it’s so hard to find adopters, but the vet bills and food costs don’t end regardless…we end up with kittens turning into adult cats (like this perfect boy, Cocoa, who is now going on 4 years old who we’ve had since a kitten…and no one has ever wanted to adopt him even though he is extremely friendly and loving, but a little bit of a troublemaker) so it’s difficult to even continue sometimes. I really need to find placement and homes for a lot of cats and teenage kittens to get them out of foster homes and into forever homes, but a lot of them are shy at first or don’t show their true personality right away, so no one wants them…😢 I don’t really know what to do anymore, I don’t know if I want to keep doing this forever… right now I wish I could just erase myself from this lifestyle and be someone else completely.

If you know of anyone looking to adopt 1-5 yr old older cats, please send them my way. Text: 805-410-4123

Thank you 2025...

Surfcat isn't your typical cat rescue. We don't pull in the big donations. Our original page was hacked in mid-2023 so we've lost most of our social media following. And most of our cats fall into the harder-to-adopt category, so even money coming in from adoptions is not a regular occurrence for us. But every cat deserves a home where they will be safe, fed and loved, and at Surfcat, that's what we provide.

We appreciate all of our supporters, donors, followers, friends, and foster homes. Without all of you, Surfcat simply would not exist.

So here's a Surfcat recap for 2025. Because of you, we accomplished the following:

● several fundraisers were held this year: air purifiers for asthma kitties, insulin syringes for medical kitties, food for IBD kitties, two birthday fundraisers, Moxie's Rainbow Bridge fundraiser, a General Medical fundraiser, and our Giving Tuesday fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who donated to our fundraisers this year.

● three kittens who were rescued in 2024 became official foster fails this year: littermates Zebra and Merlin, and Hattie (who was going to be euthanized because of her cleft lip)

● one adoption was finalized this year: Mimi was adopted by Asha's parents

● several Surfcats crossed the Rainbow Bridge this year: Alejandro, Moxie, Bella Gray, Stormy - we love and miss all of you

To everyone who has donated to us, whether from one of our wishlists, fundraisers, or monthly donations, we can not thank you enough for your support.

To everyone who liked and shared our posts, your contributions are just as important. Your shares help get the word out for our little cat rescue. Thank you.

We also want to thank the other local rescues who have shared our posts, we are grateful to live in a community where we all work together for the good of the cats.

We love what we do here at Surfcat but we can’t do it without the support of our community. This year was especially hard for us financially and we are looking forward to leaving the struggles of 2025 behind.

Here's to a great 2026!

Hi from all the Surfcats!

Giving Tuesday is here and while our humans have been kind of quiet on social media about it (what slackers 😹), we wanted to remind our friends, followers and supporters that we are so grateful for all of your support ❤️

But as you can see, there are quite a few of us, and with donations down this year, we wanted to ask if maybe you could donate a little something? Food and litter can get expensive, and we won't name names, but some of us need additional care due to health issues. It's not easy (or cheap) keeping us living the lives we've become accustomed to but the humans do do their best.

If you can, please consider making a donation on this global day of giving. This link will take you to our website where you can safely donate via PayPal (you do not need a PayPal account to donate):

All of us at Surfcat thank you 🐈

Happy National Cat Day from Surfcat!

While we think every day is Cat Day, we're always happy to celebrate a day set aside to honor cats 🐈‍⬛

While most of our cats are considered sanctuary cats and therefore not adoptable, we do have one very adoptable cat (Mimi), and a few others who are adoptable to the right person. See one you're interested in? Just ask! We'll let you know if they're available to adopt.

We want to take this day to showcase all of the Surfcats. Adoptable or not, all are loved ❤️

And we want to thank all of our supporters, your support enables us to continue to care for the cats who would otherwise have no place to call home.

Please feel free to show us your cats!

Mimi is super sweet and super friendly when given the opportunity. She hadn’t seen me for quite some time and was totally fine. She likes it when her person is sitting on the couch or lying on the bed or just sitting anywhere. In her last time, she may have had some issues With large loud adults. She would be best in a quiet home and I know she would be OK with another friendly kitty. When she was at the sanctuary, she became friends with some of the cats there. Please consider adopting Mimi. She is very happy in her foster home, but in order for us to rescue another cat, she needs to find a permanent forever home Susan Dorazio
