About Malkin (Domestic Short Hair) in San Francisco, CA 94141

Malkin is waiting for you at Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue in San Francisco, CA 94141. Malkin — Gentle Soul, Loud Purr, Second Chances Hello there. I'm Malkin, and while my story didn't start the way any cat deserves, I'm hoping it has the happiest ending yet—with you. Someone left me behind in a carrier on the streets of San Francisco. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan found me and brought me to San Francisco Animal Care & Control. Shelter life was a little overwhelming for me, and I was feeling nervous. I also needed a dental procedure, which meant I wasn't a candidate for adoption at the shelter. That's when Give Me Shelter stepped in to rescue me. Thanks to a generous donor, I received the dental care I needed, and now I'm feeling better than ever. My foster says I'm one of the sweetest, gentlest cats they've ever met. From the moment I arrived, I was purring while asking for pets. In fact, I have a special way of letting you know when you've stopped too soon—I might give you a little meow or gently tap your hand with my paw as if to say, "Excuse me... I believe we were in the middle of something." I'm a professional at leaning into chin scratches, cheek rubs, and just about any kind of affection. My purr has been described as soothing enough to melt away even the toughest day. As I've settled into foster care, my confidence has continued to grow. At first, I preferred snoozing in my cozy chair or cat tree, but these days you'll often find me sleeping at the foot of the bed. I've even discovered that laps are pretty wonderful, too. When I'm not soaking up attention, I enjoy the finer things in life: rubbing all over my catnip carrot and banana, chasing my toy mouse on a string, and surprising everyone with the occasional burst of zoomies. I'm proof that senior cats still know how to have fun! I've also been feeling fantastic on my novel protein diet, which seems to agree with my tummy, and I'm thriving. All I really want is a peaceful home filled with kindness, co
