Popoki + Tea

We have an update on Sienna! 🧡 Her adoption was one of the last adoptions we helped with before our closure. After a couple of months, Jayna and family noticed that Sienna needed a friend, as she was extremely shy, but came a-running every time she heard or saw other cats! So the family adopted a second kitty from a different agency, Sky—who looks a lot like Sienna’s friend at Popoki, Smokey.

We’ll let Jayna and family take it from here: “‘The girls’ chase each other around, eat from each others’ bowls, prefer the same litter box, snuggle, look out the window together and are just adorable. We’re about to be empty nesters and someone pointed out that Sienna and Sky are our replacement daughters. They are! We love them and are grateful for them and for everything you’ve done for the cat community.”

Mahalo to Jayna, Doug, Helen, and Lucy for welcoming Sienna (and Sky) into their hearts and home! 💖

Hi friends, I know it’s been a while! Popping by to share an update Tonio from his family! “Tonio is such a sweetheart, he always follows people around the house and loves to play by himself. He’s also become obsessed with our cat paw chair socks haha. We miss you guys and hope you’re doing well!” Mahalo Mia and family for the update! 💖 Adopters, feel free to DM us with updates and pics of your former Popoki + Tea kitties!

We have a lot of random odds and ends, so help us lighten our load! 💖 First-come, first-served, so please refrain from DM-ing us about items. Our large furniture and appliances have already been sold, and we’ve donated our cat-related items to . Hope to see you on Friday!

Brownie and Pandora have found their forever homes! 💖 (Adoptions #569 and #570) Brownie’s newfound guardian had been looking for the “purrfect” first cat and instantly knew Brownie was “the one.” Meanwhile, Pandora originally was with us as a kitten, so we’re happy she found her second chance home. She went home with another kitten that a couple of our longtime volunteers fostered named Lemon. Congrats to both Brownie and Pandora, and their families! 🙌🏼

After our previous post, all of our cats now have sponsors who have allowed us to waive their adoption fees, including Gabriel! 🙌🏼 He has developed a reputation for being the first cat to master opening our sliding doors by an impressive ground roll that would make jiujitsu students’ jaws drop. But here’s the thing… Gabe’s never interested in going out the front door. He’s interested in hanging out with us in the lobby, and he always targets our bench as his finish line. We really hope he finds a family who understands his quirks, can give him plenty of spots in their home to explore, and a nice napping spot by a window like he does here. Gabe is the ultimate curious cat, but don’t forget, that famous quote about curiosity and a cat has a second part that people always leave out: “Satisfaction brought it back.” We hope Gabe finds his second chance in a more-than-satisfactory forever home. 💖

Someone has generously sponsored the adoption fees for Olive, Sienna, Smokey, Mabel, Buster and Claudette… and three of our previous guests have sponsored Summer, Cruise and Carl’s adoption fees, too! 👏 Olive, Sienna, Buster and Summer are our shyest cats who are so absolutely sweet, and we trust they will fully come into their own when they find a true home where they can be comfortable and shine. We hope that these sponsored adoptions provide incentive to anyone who might have been on the fence about applying for any of these sweet kitties—outgoing or shy, they all deserve a loving, forever home 💖
