My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Cali-Flower is a precious DSH Calico female born approximately 7/18/2024.

“We were all rescued from the same neighborhood colony that was a mix of feral cats with babies. There are 3 of us who are sisters plus Johnny, who is a little bit older, we think of as our 'brother from another mother'. We all stuck together for survival, but we were so young, then after a couple of kittens disappeared, a concerned lady wanted to help us. She didn’t want us to get hit by cars since we were still learning how to survive on the streets and crossing a busy street was dangerous for us.

We were rescued together and, rather than just TNR us to be put back on the streets, our rescuer recognized that we were just scared trying to survive. She worked with us to teach us that people can be nice and living indoors was way better! We are learning how to play by watching other foster kitties, and that holding us makes us purr, and kind hands that feed us will also scratch our chins which we like. Our foster mom has been very patient with us and we are learning to trust people. We are sweet, a little shy, and learning to live inside. With a little patience and time, you can help us to become confident, playful lap companions.

A little about us individually: Sophie seems to crave attention and has a tiny meow to express her interest in you. Johnnie is the oldest and is already confident with indoor living and plays with anyone that will play back. While Sienna and Cali-flower are shyer and taking longer to trust, they already know they love head and neck scratches and instantly turn on the purrs.

We don’t have to be adopted in pairs, but we do feel better when we have a sibling to cuddle up with for naps. We have not been around dogs or kids, but pretty sure with proper introduction and patience, we would get along with everyone. We are not aggressive, just scared. Maybe your lap is our future!”

Cali-Flower is microchipped and currently in a foster home. Her adoption fee is $105.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our focus is to place animals in loving, permanent homes where they will be cared for responsibly. Potential adopters or fosters are screened, up to and including home visits. We reserve the right to refuse placement of an animal for any reason. We thank you for understanding.

Adopters must be 21 years or older and willing to invest the time and money required to care for a pet. In addition to providing love and attention, regular medical care is required. Please ask if you would like more information about veterinary fees and costs.

Our animals come from a variety of situations. Some have been dumped at shelters or vets, and many are ill or malnourished when rescued. Although the animal has been in a protected environment, there is the possibility of unrecognized illness appearing after an adoption is finalized, especially because of the stress the animal may experience during the first few days at its new home. We advise adopters of the animal's known history and provide its veterinary records, but frequently we know only what the animal chooses to tell us. We cannot make any guarantee regarding the long-term health of any animal. Adoption fees are generally not refundable unless prior arrangements are made.

If you feel that you are ready to adopt, please e-mail adoptions@nbcrtx.org for prompt attention. A NBCR adoption counselor will contact you to arrange an interview.
