❤️ 150+ DAYS IN OUR CARE. LET'S FIND THESE SISTERS A LOVING HOME!

Meet Lira and Lilith, two affectionate senior sisters who are ready to spend their golden years with a family of their own! These girls are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

Lira knows her name and comes when called, while Lilith has a more independent streak—but she's always happy to flop over for belly rubs. Both love affection, cozy places to nap, and spending time with their favorite people.

Lira and Lilith have been in Berkeley Humane's care for more than 150 days, and we'd love to see them settled into a loving home. A quieter household with plenty of affection (and treats!) would be right up their alley.

Could your home be the fresh start Lira and Lilith have been waiting for? Visit berkeleyhumane.org/adoptable_pets/lira-lilith/ to learn more about adopting these two sisters.

Meet Kimo & Kai!

These two playful girls traveled all the way from Hawaiʻi to bring some extra fun to the Bay! These energetic besties can turn just about anything into a toy, from feather wands to crinkly paper balls. They love wrestling, chasing, and keeping the fun going until they’re ready for a well-deserved power nap. But don’t worry, once they recharge, it’s right back to playtime!

Affordable Care Changes Lives

At just two years old, Sunny needed specialized care after an injury made it difficult for him to get around comfortably. Thankfully, Vets in Vans was able to provide the surgery he needed for both back legs at thousands of dollars less than a traditional veterinary hospital.

Sunny’s story highlights how accessible veterinary care can make a difference for pets and their families. Through our partnership with Vets in Vans, Berkeley Humane helps connect local pets with essential care when they need it most.

Vets in Vans Mobile Veterinary Clinic:
Berkeley Humane’s Behavior & Training Center
