Congratulations to all the adopters and thank you for adopting from your municipal shelter!

Sweet girl Heidi (now Emmy) has been adopted by a longtime adoption assistant volunteer. She’s helped with countless adoptions and finally met her own forever pup. Congrats to both!

Adoption update! Bonded pair Vito and Ducky were adopted in February and we already have an update about how they’re doing in their new home at Oak Barrel Winecraft.  “Thought you’d like to see how well Vito and Bucky are doing. They are now known as Birdie (stripey kitty) and Carl (house panther). They have completely won over every customer with their adorable personalities. They settled in very quickly and seem very happy! Thank you all for all that you do for all the critters!”

Update: “I adopted Nala in late January, 2022, becoming her third and forever home in Marin County. She initially had some abandonment anxiety and didn’t bark at all. After she got used to her new surroundings and realized this was her forever home she started to bark (when appropriate). She loves to run on local trails and cuddle on the couch.
Her favorite recreation spot is the local dog park, where she loves to tussle with other dogs her own age. She is enrolled in obedience class, where she has proven to be a quick study. Nala is a loving and loyal companion – a real sweetie.”

Tortie beauty Miranda packed up her amazing ear floofs and left with her new mom! Congratulations!

Cashmere was adopted a year ago and we just heard from her happy adopters: “She is one of the sweetest hamsters I’ve ever known (and I’ve known many throughout my childhood and now my kids’ childhoods)! She is definitely an escape artist, so we have to keep very close tabs on her, but she has never bitten anyone, and is super fun to have around. Here are a few photos so you can see her living her happy hamster life.”

Kitty Update: Cleo and Jasper (formerly Pumpkin and Batman) were adopted as a kitten pair and are …”doing really well! Very energetic and always snuggling in the morning. Their fur got so thick and soft so quickly! No longer the tiny little kittens we adopted.

“Good Morning from Oregon! Craig here. I have found my forever home! There are so many new and curious things to check out. I go for lots of walks where I see squirrels, birds, horses, goats, chickens, and a big, scary black cat! The backyard is big enough so when I get the zoomies, I can really cover some ground! I am very happy and loved here in Oregon. PS – my humans changed my name to Rocky. I’m OK with it–because I’m a rockstar! I had no idea I have sooooo many friends on Facebook. Thank you for checking up on me, and a special thank you to SFACC for helping me find my forever home. Gotta go–here comes that big black cat. More later…”

Our longest-term resident bun Shadow (and super sweet guy) was adopted in early January. “Shadow is already settling well into his new home. It took him about 20 seconds to start hopping around and playing with his toys. He did that for about an hour and then fell asleep.”

A fluffy kitten happy tails update! “Last month, we adopted a very sweet kitten by the name of Mushroom. We’ve had him for about a month now and can’t believe how sweet and friendly he is.” His new name is Snowball, perfect for such a fluffy guy.

“As we head into 2022, my partner and I are reflecting on the blessings that 2021 brought to our home. At the top of this list is the beautiful soul that we adopted from your facility.

We cannot tell you how much love and happiness that Maybelline has brought to us. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to bring her into our family. Maybelline has been nothing but a joy (understatement!) and we love her dearly.

Maybelline’s previous owner clearly loved her very much and spent quality time with her. We are so impressed with the tricks she knows and training she received. Maybelline has no problem with our neighbors’ cats and dog that come to visit our doorstep and she doesn’t chase after squirrels or have problems with small children. We are so thankful for her previous owner and often light a candle or incense in their honor.

Thanks again for helping us bring such a gorgeous being into our family.”

Sweet Turbo with his new dad.

Cat update: “Hi ACC! We adopted Tyler (7-yo male silver Tabby) on Aug 17 and wanted to send you some pics and update. Our two-year-old daughter, Olive, picked him out of the dozen of cats we saw SF ACC and SFSPCA. As you can see, she adores him.”

Babs update: “She’s such a love bug and everyone who meets her adores her and we can tell that she’s going to be so great! Thank you for bringing her to us. We could not be more in love with her.”

Simba found his forever home. It was love at first sight!

Layla

Handsome tuxie chatterbox Julius was hanging around in a neighborhood for months before he wound up here. After his stray period was over, one of his neighborhood friends came in to adopt him. We couldn’t be happier and we think he agrees!

Great news: puppy Craig’s new family drove from Oregon to adopt him! They have husky experience and a large property with a horse and a donkey and other farm animals. Sounds like Craig is in for a life as busy and fun as he is.

Sweet velvet hippo Tashi has gone home!

This is your final moment of Zayn because the big sweetie has gone home! Lots of cuddles in store for this lucky family. And he’ll have a pittie sister too. Zayn’s going home to Alegria, adopted two years ago from SFACC. Follow these two on Instagram: @alynzaynsf.

Hammie boy Jellybean was adopted a couple of months ago and it’s safe to say he’s settled in and is quite comfy with his people. “I think he likes us! He also turned out to be quite a floof!” Who wouldn’t be happy with cuddles and cereal snacks?

Cocoa Bean and her new family.

Kitten pair update! “It’s been 2 months since we brought our two little boys, Sprout and Finn, home from SFACC. We absolutely love and adore them. They are incredibly social and affectionate. They run up to greet our visitors when they enter our home and cuddle up with us for snuggles throughout the day and night. Because of this, we have given them the nickname, the cuddlebugs. They have brought so much joy into our lives. They have only been home with us two months but it feels like they have been in our hearts forever.”

Kaleidoscope adopted!

Prada and Dior were adopted together. Yay!

Apple went home and has her own Instagram page: @applethepinklady
