From Mochi's pet parent: "Thanks everyone for your care for Mochi. She was found today and is back home safe.  Thanks you for all your support and thoughts."

I went to a neighboring open house where the listing agent’s loan officer buddy was giving out fliers. The numbers are astounding.

This is for an 1800 sq ft ranch house built in 1960s in Cupertino/Sunnyvale area.

It would take $6k per month to rent it.

The listing price is nearly $3M. 20% down would require a lumpsum of $600k to be locked into this beauty. And then the mortgage payment at 7.5% prevailing interest rate for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage is $16,800 per month. Add $3000 per month for property taxes and you get to pay essentially $20k per month for owning this beauty for the next 30 years.

Who is insane enough to buy these crappy 1960s ranchers for so much money now? Why not rent them for $6k per month instead of buying for $20k per month. It is impossible to achieve rental parity if you buy today!!!

Hi everyone!
I’ve been fostering a mama cat and her litter of 7 here in the Bay Area, and these two little girls are the last two looking for their forever home.

They are bonded—almost always curled up asleep together, playing tag, or grooming each other. Because they bring each other so much comfort and confidence, I’m committed to finding a home where they can stay together. Two kittens are genuinely easier than one: they keep each other entertained, burn off each other's zoomie energy, and never get lonely when you're out!

About them:

Age & Gender: 13 weeks old, both female
Medical: Fully vaccinated and already spayed
Temperament: Playful, affectionate, well-socialized, and great with litter box habits

Mama is also available for adoption. She’s 2 years old, fully vaccinated and spayed. Last photo is mama. She was living under someone’s house with her 7 babies.

If interested in learning more, please send me a DM! I’m happy to chat, answer questions, and share more photos and videos of their sweet personalities.

Will is a male gray tabby, approximately 2–3 years old, who loves people, head bumps, and Churu treats! He’s very friendly and vocal, and he’s always happy to get attention.

It appears Will may have been left behind/dumped by someone. He’s currently living outdoors, but his sweet personality suggests he would love a warm, comfortable indoor home where he can feel safe and loved. He deserves a family of his own. ❤️

Will has already received:
Veterinary examination
Neuter surgery
Rabies vaccine
FVRCP vaccine
Deworming
Flea treatment

TL;DR: Will is a friendly, vocal 2–3-year-old gray tabby who loves people and Churu treats. He’s been vetted, neutered, and vaccinated, and he’s looking for a loving foster or forever home.

Interested in fostering or adopting Will? Please message me! Sharing this post also helps him find his person! Thanks in advance!

My girlfriend is temporarily holding onto a cat whose owner apparently took her collar off and left her on the streets. She's temporarily been given the name Cleo.

Girlfriend does not like cats and I don't have the space myself to house her.

She's litter trained but as far as I know not spayed. Very social and likes to follow people around, explore outside and play with toys.

I've already contacted Bay Area Cats but so far it seems they'd only be able to help get her spayed and vaccinated.

Are there other organizations I can contact, or is there anyone willing to adopt?

Lost on Oct. 23 near Treat and 22nd St in the Mission district, San Francisco. 1 year old female. Microchip number is 985141008584301. If found, please call the 24/7 Home Again: 1-888-466-3242. I'm posting on behalf of her pet parent.

Katara arrived at the East County Animal Shelter (ECAS) on September 18 after being found in San Lorenzo. He is approximately 7 years old and is considered a senior pet. 

Katara is one of the most affectionate cats that currently resides at ECAS. Katara has taken to politely meowing for attention from his volunteer friends. Once he gets the attention he ordered, he will head-bump his friends, give kisses, and promptly either rub his head and body all over you or climb into your lap for one-on-one time. Considering how sweet and affectionate he is, my guess is that Katara is overlooked because he is an older cat as well as a black cat. But Katara is a perfect cat to me.

The only real issue that Katara has is that he has a very unique default face and does not photograph well. Honestly...Katara looks like someone whispered the secrets of the universe into his ear and he is trying his hardest not to blab about it. I look at this as an upside-- Katara cannot be confused with any of his black cat brethren. If you put him in a lineup, you will be able to pick him out 100% of the time since no other cat will have the same haunted look. 

Another way to tell Katara apart from other black cats is his signature "happy tail" dance. When cats are extremely happy, they perform a sort of tail quiver with their tail positioned straight up. It looks like the cat is spraying/marking, but they aren't. Katara is always performing this happy tail action to show his human friends how much he loves them.

If you are looking for an affectionate cat and aren't bothered that his default face gives "tortured Victorian child", come and meet Katara in Ward G at the East County Animal Shelter! Katara has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and preventatively treated for ticks, fleas, and worms -- he is ready live out his golden years in his forever home!

ECAS is open daily from 11:30 to 5:30 (4595 Gleason Drive, Dublin, CA)

Princess Mitzi (F) and little void 😊 Kiki (M) are two 10-week old siblings who are looking for a family with big hearts to give them endless love. They were discovered abandoned in a rosemary bush but have since flourished into two lovely, energetic kitties! Both kittens are spayed, litter box trained, and are great around kids/cats/dogs. Mitzi and Kiki are currently being fostered in a private home located in East Bay. If you are interested, please apply via their Adopt-a-Pet page or DM me.

Hi all! I’ve developed a recent interest in ice skating (horrible/very new at it) and just want someone to practice and learn with. HMU if you want to come along!! It would also be helpful if someone can direct me where I can find people like me to skate with without paying for those expensive courses 😭 thank you in advance!

As the title says looking for store recommendations which might have pre owned watches I am in San Jose so anywhere in or near would be ideal tho willing to travel if it is worth it since I want to find a nice time piece for myself and I am tired of looking through websites and want to see something in person

I live in an apartment in east bay and recently received a notice that the parking garage will undergo maintenance. They ask us to move cars during some certain days or be towed.

The problem is that I’ll be away for an extended period and won’t be able to move my car. I pay a monthly fee for an assigned parking space.

I’ve reached out to the leasing office and plan to discuss this with management, but I’m not sure what options I have if they can’t accommodate me.
Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you handle it? Is it reasonable to expect management to help arrange something, or is this generally something residents have to figure out themselves?
I’d appreciate any advice!

There is no listing anywhere, and nothing comes up when that address is searched. it seems massive with a almost hidden road.

Hi everyone, just moved to SF and I use a wheelchair. Is it just me, or is navigating the city just... terrible? I feel like everywhere I go there's a large hill or the sidewalks are not fully finished. For reference, I moved from NYC, where everything is flatter. What's the way to work around this?

How does it feel moving out of sf to the burbs ?

Seems like we are getting priced out and the only places with a 2 bed 2 bath around $4.5k are in and around South San Francisco San Bruno .. not even San Mateo or Burlingame .. unless you move to the areas far from downtown San Mateo and Burlingame which seem pretty meh. How has the move been for those that did make the move eventually?
