“We adopted Maverick now Simon aka Snoop Cat last June 2022. Simon was very shy and withdrawn at the shelter but something kept attracting me to him. It’s been a slow process for Simon to open up and relax but it is so worth it. He is like a flower opening up and now sleeps close to my side every night and follows me around like a dog. He is one of the noisiest kitties I’ve ever had. He is very clever, opening doors, and even snooping on the internet lol. He has been a lot of fun and adds a lot of spice to our apartment.”
“I adopted this cutie a few months ago. While waiting on me lol his name was Kiefer I believe. He is now Boo and is as sweet as sugar. Plays fetch with his balls and enjoys sitting by the window. Thought i would send some pictures of this handsome boy in his forever home!”

Stevie’s update… “My roommate and I adopted a sweet kitty named Octavia in September 2021 from SF ACC. I went back and looked at her old adoption advertisement post for the memories and I wanted to give an update on her!
We decided to rename Octavia to Stevie. We call her a lot of different nicknames like Steven, Steve-o, Stinky, Stinker, etc. It was serendipitous that we adopted her, because we originally were going to ACC to look at a different cat, and hadn’t even seen her listed online. But we fell in love with her and I’m so glad we adopted her!!
Stevie is such a sweet, spunky, and loving girl. She loves to hang out with us while we watch TV, chase bugs, and frolic in our backyard. She’s very social and likes to greet anyone who comes over by smelling their feet. She’s actually really into rubbing feet, so we call her our little freak! Most mornings she will cuddle in bed with me and knead on her fuzzy blanket.
We are so grateful to ACC for taking care of Stevie when she was surrendered, and for giving her the surgery needed for her leg! We hope whoever surrendered her feels comforted that she is well loved and taken care of. Thank you so much for all you do!”
Pumpkin was adopted last week and we already have an update! “He is adjusting to his new home very quickly. He is a load of sweetness and chill. He loves to balance between “me time” and one-on-one petting sessions.” His adopter hopes his former person (who had to surrender him because they were too ill to care for him) will see this post and know that “He is loved and happy.”
Cutie pie bun Biscuit has found her forever family, who adopted a hamster from us last year!
Adoption update! Bella (formerly Baby Beluga) was adopted in February after patiently waiting for months. “She is loving life!” And she’s sure looking great! One of our dog volunteers reports “I get the great pleasure of dog-sitting her when momma is out of town.”
Reunited and it feels so good! This black and white cutie is Rio. He was stolen from his owner’s car (as well as all the belongings from the car) at 12 weeks old and after filing police reports, hiring pet detectives, and looking for her puppy for about 6 months, she finally gave up looking and moved on with her life. Fast forward 1 ½ years later and this dog arrives as a stray and his microchip links to the woman whose puppy was stolen. They are now happily reunited! Had it not been for the microchip she never would have seen her beloved puppy again. She is thankful to the staff for all their care of Rio while he was with us. Microchip your pets and make sure the information is updated when you move!
Another update on Poppy (formerly Priscilla): “Hi Family! Tracy tells me I am the best ever girl and I am home. I think home means she takes me on lots of walks and lets me sniff, she knows how to scratch the best spot, she talks to me in a silly voice, she accidently drops bacon, she doesn’t care if I don’t bring the ball back, she lets me sleep on the bed in my spot, and she always tells me she loves, loves, loves me. I give her my best ever love back. Larry is pretty okay too. Bye!”
